“…Whilst, the last three decades have witnessed the growth of business excellence models published around the world (Dereli et al 2011;Lo & Chai 2012;Tatticchi et al, 2010;Talwar, 2009), questions about on what basis those frameworks can be established have seldom been addressed. Discussions on the underlying theories behind the formulation process of those excellence models are also sparse.…”

“…The growth of business excellence models (Dahlgaard-Park et al 2013;Dereli et al 2011;Lo & Chai 2012) and the increasing managerial focus on developing business excellence have been phenomenal over the last three decades. Dahlgaard-Park and Dahlgaard undertook an insightful and critical review on some of the well-known excellence models and frameworks in order to understand the development over a 25-year period (Dahlgaard-Park et al 2013;Dahlgaard-Park and Dahlgaard, 2007).…”

Total Quality Management & Business Excellence

The analysis and assessment of business excellence is often associated with the discussion on the design and justification of the excellence measures and their dimensions. This paper revisits the critical issues in assessing business excellence, and aims to explore the conceptual development on re-balancing the performance dimensions in view of a framework. Based on the synthesising of published literatures and case studies it reveals that the all the published excellence frameworks are based on the commonality logic; and it suggests to re-balancing them with the individualistic logic. This concept has then been operationalized by constructing a new excellence framework named world class diamond model. Based on the surveyed data and by using structural equation modelling the re-balanced diamond model is tested and analysed in order to secure its theoretical validity. With the re-balanced framework, it stresses the critical importance of the individualistic logic in achieving business excellence. It also argues that the managerial implication of the individualistic logic lies in 2 the firm-specific and situation-sensitive practices of business excellence. The original contribution of the research is a conceptually re-balanced perspective towards the business excellence, suggesting a shift from the commonality logic towards the individualistic logic.

A Bibliometric Study of Scientific Publications regarding Hemicellulose Valorization during the 2000–2016 Period: Identification of Alternatives and Hot Topics

A bibliometric analysis of the Scopus database was carried out to identify the research trends related to hemicellulose valorization from 2000 to 2016. The results from the analysis revealed an increasing number of annual publications, a high degree of transdisciplinary collaboration and prolific contributions by European researchers on this topic. The importance of a holistic approach to consider the simultaneous valorization of the three main components of lignocellulosic biomass (cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) must be highlighted. Optimal pretreatment processes are critical for the correct fractionation of the biomass and the subsequent valorization. On the one hand, biological conversion of sugars derived from hemicellulose can be employed for the production of biofuel (ethanol) or chemicals such as 2,3-butadiene, xylitol and lactic acid. On the other hand, the chemical transformation of these sugars produces furfural, 5-hydroxyfurfural and levulinic acid, which must be considered very important starting blocks for the synthesis of organic derivatives.

The adoption of Activity-Based Costing in private health care facilities in South Africa

The implementation of a South African National Health Insurance, combined with the potential of price reforms, has the potential to adversely affect the profitability of the health care industry. This could force management to look at ways to better understand the causal link between costs and the activities that drive costs. The study aimed to determine the extent of ABC use in health care facilities in South Africa, what the perceived and actual benefits are of adopting ABC and what other management tools and techniques are considered important. A structured questionnaire was sent to a target population, to which 51% of recipients responded. The results revealed that the rate of ABC adoptions has increased from 1.2% in 1994 to approximately 46% today. The growth in ABC adoptions and the high level of ABC adoption in relation to hospitals in the USA and Ireland indicate that the hospital industry in South Africa acknowledges the value ABC can add.
