Purpose The purpose of this paper is to verify the extent to which corporate strategy is reflected in lower managerial levels, and problem addressed by the author has been analysed with reference to a functional as well as a process-oriented system. Design/methodology/approach This paper is empirical in nature, as it refers to results of a survey conducted in 30 Polish enterprises. The author’s attention has been focussed on identification and analysis of the actions comprising implementation of a strategy on different levels of management, with particular consideration of the process level. Findings Based on the measurements undertaken by the author, it was established which methods were most frequently applied for the sake of strategy implementation, the existing barriers were highlighted and the correctness of the strategy deployment on the strategic, the tactical and the operating level was assessed. It was also assessed to what extent the strategy becomes reflected on the level of key processes. Research limitations/implications The results obtained are, in the first instance, legitimate with regard to large and medium-size organisations, and second, to businesses which have matured in the scope of strategic management and process management. Practical implications The practical aspects addressed by the author are linked with identification of the most problematic obstacles encountered in strategy implementation as well as the solutions proposed for their elimination. Originality/value The paper provides an innovative solution for studying the degree of successful strategy implementation in a functional as well as a process-oriented system. The research results presented in the paper are up-to-date and reflect the latest trends observed in the enterprises examined.
The main goal of this article is to define the characteristics of and to evaluate the three selected models used to measure the performance of public administration bodies, with an emphasis placed on their application in different perspectives. The contemporary public administration institutions are obligated to increase their operating efficiency as well as the satisfaction of their stakeholders. This is precisely why they have been implementing diverse models, especially those already used for years in managing profit-oriented organisations. The models chosen for analysis are applied in public administration, making it possible to measure numerous indicators of both financial and nonfinancial nature. The research method adopted by the authors is a conceptual literature review performed using the resources of the Scopus, Springer, WoS, Emerald, and EBSCO databases. The items subject to analysis were the 3Es (i.e., economy, efficiency, effectiveness) and IOO (e.g., input, output, and outcome) models as well as the model included in the BSC (Balance Scorecard). The research has evidenced that each of the models has its strengths and limitations. The results thus obtained have led to a conclusion that the solution showing the highest potential in the area of the study is the performance measurement model proposed under the BSC; however, according to the authors, it still requires some fine-tuning to public administration’s operating conditions and organisational culture. The article also highlights the fundamental operationalisation problems related to the subject in question.
Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to assess the degree of process approach implementation in the businesses studied and to identify the major motives behind the actions undertaken in the scope of reorientation towards processes. Design/methodology/approach -The paper provides a discussion on the results of empirical research conducted in the year 2015 in 100 companies by means of the CATI system. The research comprised assessment of the process approach implementation in Polish enterprises which had deployed a quality management system (QSM). Specific motives providing grounds for process approach implementation in the organisations examined were also analysed. The results thus obtained were verified with reference to previous studies conducted in the field in question; they were statistically validated and then critically analysed, all in order to draw final conclusions. Findings -It was observed that the evolution of experience of Polish entrepreneurs in the area of process management affects the growing number of organisations evaluating themselves as highly advanced in terms of process approach implementation, and at the same time, the number of companies classified as representing an intermediate level is dropping. Assessment of the extent of advancement of process approach implementation suggests that processes are measured in most businesses studied, but it also implies certain problems with process management. It was established that improvement of business credibility and deployment of the QSM were the most significant reasons motivating companies to implement the process approach. Practical implications -Individual practical aspects are associated with the barriers identified and the solutions proposed to remove them. Such recommendations may be used by persons responsible for the implementation or improvement of the process approach in an enterprise. Originality/value -The research addressed in the paper is not the first study of the process approach implementation level in Polish enterprises, but it followed the steps of other authors and the discourse they initiated. The research results provided in the paper are the most recent ones and reflect the latest trends. At the same time, the conclusions drawn may provide grounds for further scientific studies in this field.
Streszczenie: Koncepcji, metod, narzędzi usprawniających funkcjonowanie przedsiębiorstwa jest bardzo wiele, jednakże zawsze istnieje niepewność co do skuteczności nowych rozwiązań. W artykule podjęto próbę analizy i oceny korzyści wynikających z wdrożenia podejścia procesowego, skupiając uwagę na możliwych zależnościach. W związku z powyższym jako cel badawczy przyjęto ustalenie zależności występujących pomiędzy stopniem wdrożenia podejścia procesowego a oceną korzyści wynikających z jego implementacji. Informacje uzyskane z badań ankietowych, przeprowadzonych w przedsiębiorstwach posiadających system zarządzania jakością, zostały zweryfikowane za pomocą metod statystycznych. W wyniku przeprowadzonych badań określono korzyści zależne i niezależne od poziomu wdrożenia podejścia procesowego, co pozwoliło na zidentyfikowanie prawidłowości towarzyszących przechodzeniu organizacji na wyższy poziom zarządzania procesami.Słowa kluczowe: podejście procesowe, zarządzanie procesami, ocena korzyści. Summary:The article tries to analyze and evaluate the benefits resulting from the implementation of a process approach. The major objective of research was to determine relations between the degree of implemetnation process approach, and the benefits of the implementation. Data was obtained from the survey conducted in companies with quality management system and was verified by statistical methods. As a result of studies, the benefits of the level of implementation of the process approach were presented. It allows to identify the regularity of the accompanying development of the organization to a higher level process management.
