“…Having reviewed how performance is measured in different works of strategic research (Homburg et al, 1999;Iyer et al, 2005;Venkatraman and Ramanujan, 1986), we drew up a scale that included eight items to measure performance. Managers were asked to respond to different questions about their firm's performance for the last three years, taken as profits over assets, as profits over own resources and as profits over sales and sales growth in the main products/services and markets.…”

Purpose-To analyze a series of strategic capabilities/factors that affects organizational innovation (OI) and organizational learning (OL) (personal mastery, transformational leadership, shared vision, proactivity and environment) and demonstrate that OL and innovation are positively related to organizational performance. Design/methodology/approach-Based on prior research, the paper develops a number of testable hypotheses. It examines how personal mastery, transformational leadership, shared vision, proactivity and environment influence improvements in performance. The paper uses inter-factor correlations matrix and multiple regressions analyses and empirically tests these hypotheses using a sample of 408 Spanish organizations. Findings-Considers OI and OL jointly to promote organizational entrepreneurship and to increase competitive advantages. Empirically reflects the need to strengthen different strategic capabilities to achieve an adequate level of both organizational issues and thus improve performance and encourage entrepreneurship. Research limitations/implications-Survey data based on self-reports may be subject to social desirability bias. The external validation of some of the variables from the archival data of a subset of respondents increased confidence in self-reports and reduced the risk of common method variance. The paper needs to concentrate on other sectors. Future studies should place greater emphasis on longitudinal studies and should be based on a larger sample, preferably in more than one country. It would be interesting to analyze other strategic activities for entrepreneurship. Practical implications-Organizations' managers must encourage the organization's members to achieve high levels of personal mastery. This environment can be provided by continually encouraging personal vision. The style of management must be more transformational. They must foster shared vision. The leader must prepare the organization and shape the mental models. Specific actions must be taken to overcome the internal and external obstacles to shared vision. The leader will play an important role in linking the organization and the environment and generate proactivity. Originality/value-This paper is fundamental to promote strategy capabilities that are necessary to entrepreneurship (OL and OI).

“…This seems to be a universal phenomenon where organizations in many countries experience intricacy and even failure in transferring IT into practice (Abdul Hamid, 2001;Gil-Saura et al, 2009). The lack of a comprehensive model explains why there is little success in adopting intranet albeit the heavy investment made (Dan, 2002;Iyer et al, 2005;Jamshed, 2006;Kostakis et al, 2008;Legris et al, 2002) particularly in developing countries (Cunningham and Sarayrah, 1994). This could serve as a primary reason as to why top management of organizations, both public and private constantly question whether such investment leads to expected desirable outcomes, which makes successful intranet implementation more difficult to achieve.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether intranet functionalities predict perceived usefulness, which in turn influences intranet usage and whether such usage affects job performance of managers. Design/methodology/approach -About 150 of 357 managers engaged by numerous organizations in the port industry in Malaysia, namely port authority, terminal operator, marine department, immigration department, and royal customs and excise department which utilized intranet were sampled using a set of self-reporting questionnaires. Findings -The results of structural equation modeling indicate that intranet functionalities influence perceived usefulness, usage, and indirectly predict port managers' performance.Research limitations/implications -The paper focuses only on the perspective of intranet usage among middle managers working in the port industry in Malaysia. Practical implications -Suggestions are provided on how the maritime industry in particular and other industries in general can improve their intranet adoption to achieve organizational goals. Originality/value -This paper draws attention to the imperative of having proper intranet functionalities in place in light of its indirect impact on job performance improvements.

Purpose -The purpose of this research is to articulate an analysis framework and a method for the cross-national business-to-business integration electronic commerce (B2Bi EC) by exploring an ontology-assisted schema and semantics resolution in the business process alignment with electronic commerce standards. Design/methodology/approach -The paper presents an ontology-assisted analysis method and alignment model in the implementation of the B2B electronic commerce standard specification over the existing trading partners' public processes in the syntactic and semantic integration and interoperability. An application of the Unified Modeling Language is made to analyze the public process in the domain and in the standard. Terms, concepts, relations, and links are created from the analysis results and converted into an ontology representation. Web Ontology Language is introduced to formulate the analyzed knowledge and experience to align the domain and the standard. There are correspondences and conflicts in the process of alignment. They are resolved via the shared and reusable ontology which is a convergence of the domain ontology and the standard ontology. The converged and shared ontology is achieved via a set of rules and heuristics that are created in the research. Findings -The key of success in the B2Bi EC lies in the ability to accomplish the process interoperability and the schema comparability. Three main tasks have to be achieved to fulfill the requirements. This research constructs a prototype to implement the method. The prototype is used to illustrate the feasibility and validity of the method. A set of starter experiments has been conducted in use of a straight-through example of a purchase order process in the alignment with the RosettaNet standard and the ebXML standard. The starter experiment serves as the baseline to demonstrate that the method is feasible and valid. Originality/value -A syntactic and semantic analysis method and alignment model are developed and demonstrated in the research. Integration and interoperability are accomplished in use of the systematic and analytic method.
