    Notes: Traditional business models are undergoing a process of redefinition following the drive to develop new business structures that support competition. The result of this has led to the development of virtual organizations, which are founded on alliance structures. In this paper a case study is used to describe the way in which a telecommunications organization and other retail electricity organizations initiated a strategic alliance, so that they could improve their market position, financial stability and customer base. A case study is used to describe the way in which a telecommunications organization explored how a strategic alliance with retail electricity organizations would be structured. Pre-alliance activities and its impact on alliance formation, such as the design of an information systems framework, are presented and discussed. The experiences identified from the case study provide a learning opportunity for those organizations that are seeking to seize new business opportunities through strategic alliances.

    The representativeness heuristic in judgements involving entrepreneurial success and failure (2003)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Management decision 41 (2003), S. 156-167 
    Details
    ISSN: 0025-1747
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: The representativeness heuristic generates a decision-bias encouraging over-estimation of the probability of low likelihood events when they are associated with strongly context representative propositions. An experimental investigation into decision making by final year business undergraduates demonstrates that this heuristic operates and consistently affects subjects' judgement of the probability of probe details about an entrepreneur in the representativeness-generating context of the future success or failure of a proposed venture by that entrepreneur. The results suggest that the representativeness heuristic could hinder the quality of managerial decision making, especially decisions involving investment in new ventures. Evidence is generated in favour of a specifically cognitive source for this bias as opposed to a semantic mechanism proposed by some workers. This study adds to the growing literature on the representativeness bias in managerial decision making but is believed to be the first to consider it in an entrepreneurial context.

Explores the ethical precepts held by a sample of Chinese professionals enrolled in a management development program in mainland China. A benchmark is created that not only measures the present state of business ethics, but looks at perceived change over the last five years. From these data, guidelines are developed which are of use to policy makers and to executives who wish to employ, or to conduct business with Chinese nationals.

    Strategy is personality-driven, strategy is crisis-driven: insights from entrepreneurial firms (2003)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Management decision 41 (2003), S. 327-339

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: The objective of this study was to explore the main factors influencing the development of strategy in small firms. Among its contributions, the study found that strategy was personality-driven and crisis-driven. The study identified two main types of entrepreneurs: the pragmatist and the charismatic entrepreneur, and highlighted how the risk-taking capacities of some entrepreneurs changed over time. The study suggests that the experience of crisis gave rise to a more rational, planned approach to the strategy-making process.

    A framework for concentric diversification through sustainable competitive advantage (2003)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Management decision 41 (2003), S. 362-371

    ISSN: 0025-1747
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This article investigates the issue of diversification around the core business, namely concentric diversification. There have been many diversification failures reported over the last few decades. Little guidance has been available to firms who plan to diversify in order to grow. The literature relating to competitive advantage, sustainable competitive advantage, and concentric diversification is reviewed. A process is then presented to help managers make sound strategic diversification decisions, thus reducing the risk of failure.

    Strategic staffing of international joint ventures (IJVs): an integrative perspective for future research (2003)

    Details

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Drawing on the literature on international joint ventures (IJVs) and strategic international human resource management, the paper proposes a model for strategic staffing of IJVs based on an integrative (strategic intent and negotiations) perspective. Building on the results of previous studies that indicate, directly or indirectly, the importance of control in staffing, the paper proposes that strategic control may be a critical driver that underpins IJV staffing. In conclusion, the paper outlines an agenda for future research that can test the model and explore possible implications.

    B2B relationships and networks in the Internet age (2003)

    Notes: Internet-centred business models have proved to be an effective means of conducting business-to-business (B2B) commerce in many industry sectors. As an interactive and instantaneous medium, the Internet provides firms with a new platform - commonly referred to as electronic marketplaces or electronic hubs ("e-marketplaces" or "e-hubs"). This study examines the advantages of business networks and relationships, and elucidates how these have become increasingly imperative within the new e-business paradigm of the global marketplace. The study draws on the Covisint e-marketplace - the e-hub of the automotive industry - to illustrate some of the innovative business features that can be supported by e-marketplace business models and notes the complexities of e-relationships that require round the clock support.

    Korea's new globalization strategy: can Korea become a business hub in Northeast Asia? (2003)

    Notes: The Korean Government wishes to transform the nation into a Northeast Asian business hub. Following economic crisis, there are attempts to move the economy towards a new market-oriented paradigm of economic growth based on foreign direct investment (FDI) and market friendly transparent corporate governance, replacing the old model of the developmental state, involving intimate and opaque business-government relations, which has dominated Korean policy for at least three decades. This paper presents findings from 37 interviews conducted with senior executives of foreign companies and various chambers of commerce in Korea. The paper offers new insights into the critical and often invisible issues which need to be confronted and successfully resolved for the transformation of Korea. In providing a critical analysis, the paper examines alternative interpretations of the hub concept, key advantages offered by Korea, the main barriers to becoming a hub, competition from other locations and draws lessons for government policy makers.

    Ethical behaviour: the means for creating and maintaining better reputations in arts organisations (2003)

    Notes: Arts organisations, unsure of the level of continued government funding available and confronted with the need ever to improve, are seeking new ideas upon which they can focus. At a time when leadership and governance in arts organisations have changed in line with cultural expectations, how is their ethical stance assessed? How does their ethical stance impact on reputation? The challenge to build a good reputation starts at the top of the organisation; however, traditionally, one type of arts organisation, art museums, has focused on the activities level. In an age of globalisation, economic restructuring and technological change, museums therefore may be seen as a contradiction. Traditionally seen as temples for the muses, today's museums are being challenged to be ethical for society and to build their reputation. As a solution, proposes a cooperative model of cultural organisational ethics that attempts to provide a framework by which arts organisations can put in place ethical artefacts that enhance organisational reputation, rather than detract from it.

    Notes: Establishing trust within groups or teams of scientists and technicians working on large-scale projects is considered an essential critical success factor when working in a virtual environment. To build trust among team members for any project requires a selection decision on which trust factors will best achieve the goals of the project. This paper presents application results of using two analytic methodologies used to evaluate trust survey information from the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), the USA's largest science project. The two decision methodologies produced results that helped support SNS management's judgment that uniquely selected trust categories should be emphasized to build trust on this project.
