“…Hitt et al (2001) demonstrate that the human capital structure has a positive impact on the performance of accounting firms. Human resources are important input factors that can determine the success of firm operations (Boohene and Asuinura, 2011;de Menezes et al, 2010;Jones et al, 2010;Lee et al, 2010). Therefore, this paper expects a positive relationship between human capital and the performance of accounting firms.…”

Purpose – This paper aims to explore the relationship between market share and performance of large accounting firms. It also investigates whether the performance of international accounting firms is better than that of non-international accounting firms. Design/methodology/approach – This paper divides the empirical analysis into two stages. The first stage constructs a multiple regression model to explore the relationship between market share, international operations and the performance of large accounting firms. The second stage uses the Tobit regression model to identify the determinants of market share of international accounting firms. Findings – Empirical results show that there is a significant, positive relationship between market share and performance, and that the performance of international accounting firms is better than that of non-international accounting firms. Second, from the perspective of business characteristics, the scope of the most international accounting firms is traditional auditing services; namely financial attestation and tax business services. Practical implications – From the clients' viewpoint, market share is one of the key indices in determining the quality of the accounting firms' service. Originality/value – As the market for auditing services in Taiwan is saturated, in the future, the accounting industry will be concerned with non-auditing services. It is suggested that the large accounting firms could follow the demand changes of their clients: employ professionals in various fields to provide specialized services, adjust the range of transnational and management consultant services, and operate management consultant services more aggressively. These measures would have advantages in a fiercely competitive market.

“…As mentioned in the previous paragraph, competency models may be designed for a number of purposes within the organizational context. Although some applications have focused on a specific use, like training (Parry, 1998) or assessment (Bartram, 2004; Chen & Naquin, 2006; Rothwell & Lindholm, 1999), the greater benefit from competency modeling is achieved by integrating multiple systems across a unified base (e.g., Iles, 1993; Lawler, 1994; Lee, Park, & Yang, 2010; Lucia & Lepsinger, 1999; Schippmann et al, 2000). In this manner, competency models remove the barriers that often arise between fragmented human resource functions, each of which may be relying on their own tools and languages; the competencies and their associated behavioral indicators become a common language across all functions (Campion et al, 2011).…”

As an alternative to traditional job analysis, the practice of competency modeling may be appealing to scholars and practitioners of human resource development (HRD) to serve as the foundation for many HRD activities. Among some of its advantages are a more explicit focus on performance and development that is aligned with organizational strategy, fuller integration with human resource systems, and a focus on broad work roles and functions instead of discrete jobs. Unfortunately, the use of competency models is often hindered as a result of conceptual ambiguity, a lack of methodological rigor in the development of such systems, and psychometric issues. The current integrative literature review seeks to clarify the practice of competency modeling within the context of HRD through a critical analysis of its foundations, conceptual and definitional issues, and potential barriers to use while providing the current state of the science and best practices.

In competency management studies, scholars call for the importance of digital savviness to hire, train, and develop new digital workers. Yet, the knowledge about the development of such a competence is still scarce. For this endeavor, we followed a systematic literature review to identify a sample of 103 published scientific articles and book chapters dealing with the development and implementation of competency tools in the past 10 years. To our surprise, our review suggests that the landscape of competency tools is surprisingly obsolete and that contemporary requirements of digitization have not yet been incorporated into updated usable competency tools. Through this review our hope is to provide competency managers and researchers with a framework to advance and upgrade their competency tools to address the gap between existing know how and the needed expertise of the digital world.
