“…If we recognize that perception is a process of how organizational members would acquire, receive, select, transform, organize, and interpret what they see as the seniors manager's intensions and reality while appreciating the physical and social processes which gives meaning to their environment and how they make sense of where they want to take the organization (Berelson & Steiner, , p. 88; Barber & Legge, ). Therefore, the way in which senior managers appreciate how they are perceived by the organizational members is vital to the implementation of the strategy itself (Buss & Kuyvenhofen, ; Grösnhaug & Falkenberg, ; Hasan, Subhani, & Afshari, ; Özleblebici & Çetin, ).…”

When it comes to strategy making and strategy implementation, although it is acknowledged that the biggest challenge is the implementation, most of the literature tends to focus more on the strategy making part. Just like how the strategy implementation part of the strategy process has received little attention in the strategic planning literature, equally there are not much research devoted to developing measures for studying this important management process and practice. Through quantitative methodological approaches for studying the strategic management and planning process, and analysis of data from 208 senior managers involved in strategy processes within ten UK industrial sectors, this paper addresses this void by presenting evidence on the measurement properties of a multi‐dimensional instrument that assesses ten dimensions of strategy implementation. Using exploratory factor analysis, results indicate the sub‐constructs (the ten dimensions) are uni‐dimensional factors with acceptable reliability and validity. Furthermore, using three additional measures, a correlation and hierarchical regression analysis,the nomological validity for the multi‐dimensional strategy implementation construct was also established. Relative importance of ten strategy implementation dimensions (activities) for practising managers is highlighted, with the mutually and combinative effects and drawing conclusion that senior management involvement leads the way among the ten key identified activities vital for successful strategy implementation.

“…The purpose of the study was rather to find out the perceptions of important actors, which could slow the refurbishment rate than to establish the actual knowledge housing owners have about national building regulations and goals. There are several good reasons for this and the main reason is obviously that managers and other important actors make their decisions on what they perceive as knowledge and not on what is objectively acknowledged as this (Özleblebici and Cetin 2015). The general results (and Figure 1), can be interpreted as that housing owners have not felt very restricted nor motivated by the former Swedish building regulations and energy goals in refurbishment projects, even if they have knowledge about these aspects.…”

Improving the energy performance of existing buildings is crucial for reaching both EU and national climate and energy targets. The main objective of this study was to map challenges that Swedish housing owners perceive when making energy-efficiency refurbishments. A secondary objective was to compare how well these challenges relate to national strategies. The study applied a combined methods approach with audience response meters and in-depth qualitative semi-structured interviews. The housing owners express the view that they have sufficient knowledge of national ambitions to improve the energy performance of buildings and welcome the new building regulations. Despite this supposed knowledge and the current economic situation with beneficial loans, the refurbishment rate still remains low. The housing owners explain that they are concerned about the 'performance gap' and request more accurate energy performance predictions. They are also waiting for proof that all sustainability goals can be reached in reality. Probably, too few projects fulfilling ambitions in all categories: economically, socially and energy-wise have been followed up and demonstrated nationally. The new national information centre on refurbishment of buildings may help to spread information about such projects, raise awareness and thus increase the refurbishment rate.

“…Although perception is a cognitive process [39], some authors provide some evidence on the critical role of managerial perception in both organizational decision-making and strategy formulation processes by providing some evidence on the significant influence that research from a managerial perception perspective has had on the understanding of how strategy forms in the organizations [40]. The main contribution of this effort is the elaboration of various ways in which managerial perceptions influence strategy development processes beyond only implementation [40].…”

Research on microfinance institutions (MFIs) has normally been focused on developing and emerging markets. However, an analysis of developed countries is also important for foreign MFIs wishing to take advantage of the growth potential of those markets. Therefore, the aim of this article is to determine whether MFIs working in the USA’s market should change or adapt their microcredit policies with respect to women. In effect, there are no studies in the USA supporting the argument that women are a better risk of microcredit than men, or that there are differences in microcredit repayment behavior between women and men. Additionally, it was investigated if the payment behavior of women and men is related to variables such as their age, ethnicity, academic level, marital status, or the characteristics of the microcredits, like purposes, amounts, and payment terms. In the USA, there are not—as in other countries—strong incentives, motivations, or external pressures, other than those that men also have, which influence women to pay their microloans better than men. Then, domestic and international MFIs attracted to enter the USA’s market should review their microcredit policies in relation to women. More research is needed about the microfinance market in the USA.
