“…Previous studies assert that in such conservative (mature) industries managers do not have much interest in promoting innovation and change. They pay little attention to fundamental operations management thinking (Shaw et al, 2005). Another possible argument is that managers in the oil and gas industry have developed "an illusion for control" (Kahneman and Lovallo, 1993).…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of top management support for quality and human resource management practices on quality results in the petroleum industry. Design/methodology/approach -A survey was used to collect data from managers in the petroleum industry. Structural equation modeling was used to examine the hypotheses. Findings -Consistent with previous studies, the results provide support for the importance of top management commitment to quality in emphasizing other quality practices. The relationship between top management support and employee involvement was also significant. Research limitations/implications -A larger sample is needed to validate the findings of this study. Future studies should address the impact of other quality management practices on quality outcomes. Originality/value -The findings provide support for the convergence theory and contingency theory in quality management.

“…Capital-intensive firms in the manufacturing industry are considered to put more assets into production processing (Shaw et al, 2005). 23 Tax incentives provided by the governmentto investors for importing costly equipment should be attractive to those capital-intensive MNEs.…”

“…It is also important to consider the availability of research resources to avoid high wage costs in obtaining local researchers. In 23 Shaw et al (2005) suggest supply chain agility in capital-intensive industries is strongly linked to the capabilities of the individual processing assets that comprise the chain. The tax incentives provided by regional governments to cover expenditures on costly equipment should be attractive to these capital-intensive multinationals.…”

The objective of this research is to analyze the geographical distribution of the research and development (R&D) collaboration of Japanese multinational enterprises (MNEs) in China. We analyze location strategies of overseas R&D activities on a regional instead of a national level. We first discuss the linkage of foreign direct investment (FDI) and ensue knowledge spillovers from MNEs to a host country, and further analyze how the knowledge spillovers influence MNEs in making their decisions on location choices in China. Using conditional logit estimation from U.S. patent data, we find that Japanese MNEs are in proximity to the R&D-intensive locations and to the clustering of Japanese MNEs, but have a tendency to keep a distance from R&D-competitive locations that would be endangered by outward knowledge spillovers. In addition, small and medium MNEs are influenced more by location factors, such as R&D and FDI, than large MNEs. So are capital-intensive MNEs than non-capital-intensive MNEs.

“…Holweg (2005) proposed in his paper that product, process and volume are three key factors that determine the responsiveness of a supply chain system, and provided guidelines on how to align the supply chain strategy to these three factors in order to balance responsiveness to customer demand and supply chain efficiency. An examination on supply chain system in process industries from a responsiveness view point was carried out by Shaw et al (2005). These authors also proposed a conceptual management strategy to improve the responsiveness of process supply chain system.…”

This chapter addresses the problem of optimal design and operational planning of multi-echelon, multi-site process supply chain networks (PSCNs) with consideration of responsiveness and profitability. A quantitative characterization of responsiveness for PSCNs is presented, which measures the response time or lead time to changes in demands assuming zero inventories. This measure is incorporated in a multi-period mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP) model, which considers the selections of suppliers and manufacturing sites, process technology, production levels and scheduling. The problem is formulated as a bi-criterion optimization model in which the objectives are to maximize the net present value (NPV) and to minimize the lead time. This allows establishing trade-offs between the economics and responsiveness of the supply chain network. The model produces a Pareto-optimal curve, which reveals how the optimal net present value, and therefore the network structure of the PSCN, changes with different specifications of lead time. The application of this model is illustrated through an example. The modeling approach developed in this paper and the results obtained suggest that a new conceptual strategy has been developed that yields useful insights regarding the responsiveness of process supply chain networks.
