Strategies and resources: Pathways to success?

Flexibility–efficiency tradeoff and performance implications among Chinese SOEs

“…When the strategic factor market (i.e. a market where the resources necessary to implement a strategy are required) is not perfectly competitive, a firm can obtain sustainable competitive advantage by accumulating critical resources which enable the firm to produce economic value for consumers more efficiently than its rivals (Barney, 1986;Dierickx and Cool, 1989;Finney et al, 2005). In turbulent environments, however, superior resources along cannot guarantee business success because economic value created from these resources is in continuous and rapid changes (Judge and Elenkov, 2005;Farjoun, 2007) and dynamic capabilities are suggested to play a key role in achieving high performance (Teece et al, 1997;Eisenhardt and Martin, 2000;Zollo and Winter, 2002).…”

Market pioneers, late movers, and the resource-based view (RBV): A conceptual model

“…While many conceptualizations of the resource management process exist, this paper uses Morgan's (2000) conceptualization because Finney et al (2005) established empirical support for Morgan's work. Morgan (2000) conceives of resource management as a four-step process: 1) efficient acquisition (EA), 2) bundling/combining (BC), 3) positioning (POS), and 4) maintenance/protection (MP).…”

“…Such a study would require measures of the two major concepts under study here: resource management and FMA. Much discussion revolves around appropriate measurement when using the RBV; fortunately, Finney et al (2005) measures each of the four steps in resource management. These authors measured the amount of time strategists spent on each of Morgan's four resource management tasks.…”

Ugdymo principo taikymo galimybės personalui mokyti

“…Neoklasikinė mokykla (apie 1990 m.) (Drucer 196;Drucer 2004) Besimokančios organizacijos teorija (Kim 1993;Kekäle et al 2002;Bingley 2004;Finney 2005) Šioje mokykloje buvo pasiūlytas valdymo pagal tikslus metodas ir valdymo pagal užduotis principas, kuris paskatino ne tik sprendimų ir atsakomybės delegavimo bei padalinių veiklos koordinavimo metodologijos plėtojimą, bet ir personalo ugdymo praktikos tobulėjimą. Neoklasikinės mokyklos plėtojamos metodologijos pagrindu susiformavęs personalo konsultacinis verslas turi didelę reikšmę ugdymo procese bei paklausą tarp šiuolaikinių vadovų ir dėlto sėkmingai plėtojamas.…”
