“…Marjanovic, 2000;Goksoy et al, 2012) add psycho-social facts while subjecting BPR and a further step is the notion that emotional capabilities are effective players in the design (Becker, Kugeler, & Rosemann, 2011) and implementation (Caya, Brunelle, Leger, & Grebot, 2012) processes, and thus the success of BPR. All these processes result in an overall change and it has to be managed, which in turn, highlights managers' skills (Boeker, 1997) and exclusively their emotional capabilities (Attaran, 2000) as these capabilities-especially when leadership is applied in favor of BPR (Ahadi, 2004)-can enamor managers' commitment to BPR (Crowe, Fong, Bauman, & Zayas-Castro, 2002) and be used to convince workers in favor of the change, which BPR brings with (Zaheer et al, 2010).…”

With its dramatic boosts to effectiveness and efficiency, Business Process Reengineering (BPR) is a crucial tool for business success, thus countless businesses in various industries are inspired to get its benefits. Though these benefits are heavily related to technical matters such as cost, speed and quality; there is also a human side associated with BPR. This study is interested in an odd dimension of this human side: top managers' emotional and spiritual intelligence. More precisely, top managers' emotional and spiritual intelligences are believed to be related with their ideas about the targets and critical success factors of BPR. This study not only scrutinizes this belief, but also fills in a great gap as the literature does not offer a similar research. The operationalization stage of the study includes data from top managers of businesses in İkitelli Organized Industrial Zone (OIZ) and the findings clearly point out that top managers' spiritual intelligence is strongly and positively related with their ideas about BPR whereas there is no connection between their emotional capabilities and their mentioned ideas.

“…Using the social identity principle (e.g., attractive-selection-attrition), Tajfel and Turner (1986) and Terjesen et al (2009) explore how individuals seek to surround themselves in specific groups (so-called "groupthink") who share similar demographic profiles, perceptions and principles, which are then reinforced in intra-group communication. Therefore the portrayer of observable demographic profiles and the compositions of upper echelons (top executives or top management team) are determinants of strategic choices and the firm's performance outcomes (see Bantel & Jackson, 1989;Boeker, 1997).…”

This study draws on upper echelon theory (Hambrick & Mason, 1984) to examine whether the demographic characteristics of politically connected board members affect commercial bank performance in Malaysia. Interaction effect between age, ethnicity, and the political connections of board directors demonstrates that commercial bank performance depends on the presence of non-ethnic minority elder directors who have political connections with higher government authorities. The findings have important implications for corporate governance in commercial banking sectors in Malaysia. Although bank performances are impressive, the valuable human capital resources of board members who have diverse skills and backgrounds remain underutilized. Improving corporate governance performance through better use of human capital resources is of paramount importance for an effective business strategy that facilitates creativity and innovation. Government-Linked Companies (GLCs) should reengineer strategies to support the private sector, instead of crowding out private investment.

“…Senior companies normally achieve their business performance ratio lower than that of small companies (Dunne & Hughes, 1994). The possible reasons are that in the course of time company management principles grow rigid according to the habit of strictly observing leader's (founder's) decisions, there is no innovation in the business process thus this keeps the performance going down (Boeker, 1997).…”

“…Studies pointed out that new companies, of some certain size, would grow quicker than senior companies (Dunne & Hughes, 1994). Senior companies became rigid by the routine procedures, passive and conservative business processes thereby achieving low performance (Boeker, 1997).

This study examines the relationship between the choices of family or outside CEO with company performance. The sample of this study covered 65 Vietnamese family companies in 17 industries. The findings indicate, as anticipated, that family CEO enhanced company performance greater than outside CEO. Within the family company, CEO-successor enhanced the firm value lower than the CEO-founder. Contacts with the business environment, education, experience and sufficient business capital may provide young CEOs with values added to better manage family companies than founders.
