    The phenomenon of organizational evolution: a model for analysis (2002)

    Notes: Traditionally, organizational evolution has been forgotten and only recently has it been analyzed by evolutionary theories: evolutionary economics and organizational ecology. According to the evolutionary economics the evolution of the firm is drawn as a process of individual adaptation running parallel to the evolution of environment. However, population ecology suggested that organizations have not the ability to adapt themselves and the process of organizational evolution is out of the organizational field. So, the adjustment to changed environmental conditions is achieved largely by the death of old organizations and the birth of new ones. We propose a model of organizational evolution combining the adaptation perspective -- evolutionary economics -- and the selection one -- population ecology of organizations. The adaptative ability lies in the endowment resource and capabilities that managers build using organizational capabilities.

    Evolution of management theory: the case of production management in construction (2002)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Management decision 40 (2002), S. 788-796

    Notes: In the past 100 years production management has evolved from a set of heuristic ideas to a portfolio of somewhat developed concepts and principles. "Just-in-time" and "total quality management" integrate most of the modern concepts and principles in the field. Furthermore, seminal studies carried out within production, such as the Gilbreth/Taylor, Hawthorne and Tavistock studies, have given significant contribution to the evolution of management theory. This paper presents the context of production management evolution and assesses the application of some heuristic production approaches within construction sites of Brazil and England. The study revealed that, although the production management theory evolved significantly, construction practices do not apply the theory in a systemic and comprehensive manner. Clearly, lack of motivation and poor instruments for enabling "learning" are the central cause of this problem.

    From intangibility to tangibility on service quality perceptions: a comparison study between consumers and service providers in four service industries (2002)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Managing service quality 12 (2002), S. 292-302 
    Details

    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Intangibility is one of the distinctive characteristics of service. However, the literature also highlights "tangibles" as one of the basic service quality dimensions. Investigates the importance of tangibles and intangibles in perceptions of service quality as assessed by both customers and service providers. Selects four service industries to reflect a range from high to low levels of tangible components and degree of intangibility in both service process and output. Based on 400 telephone interviews with consumers, shows that the level of tangible components has a positive impact on the perceived importance of the tangible dimension in service quality. However, the second phase of this research, involving a qualitative study with managers in the studied industries, shows that the tangibles dimension is relatively neglected in service industries with high tangible involvement. Presents a model of tangibility and intangibility to aid managers in understanding customers' perceptions, and to stimulate further research.

    Expanding the meaning of standardisation within construction processes (2002)
    Bradford : Emerald
    The @TQM magazine 14 (2002), S. 25-33 
    Details
    ISSN: 0954-478X

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Discusses the effectiveness of construction practices on standardisation based on six case studies developed both in Brazil and in the UK, focusing on the "bricklaying" process. The case studies showed a paradox: construction companies developing written standards but failing to implement and maintaining standard practices. Written standards were extremely ineffective in the case studies due to the lack of teamwork and problem solving activities. It became clear that the abstract meaning of standardisation has far larger possibilities than simply developing descriptions of practice in written documents. Information on standards could be displayed in the packing system or equipment, for instance. Most importantly, information on standard procedures should be available when and where the construction worker needs it, despite the great need for workstation mobility. Hence, concludes that there is an urgent need for promoting a more widespread use of "visual management" approaches in order to enable effective dissemination and use of standard practices within the construction environment.

    The practice of real estate valuation in Portugal (2002)
    Bradford, West Yorkshire [u.a.] : Emerald

    Notes: The globalization of trade and markets requires international standards governing accounting and associated activities including valuation. The EU Financial Services Action Plan and the revised banking supervision rules both spotlight the need for consistent standards. Valuation standards exist at the international (IVSC), European (TEGoVA) and professional (RICS) levels. Differences of tradition and approach nevertheless still exist covering fundamental issues such as bases of value. Traditional valuation practice in many EU states therefore faces a process of swift harmonization. This paper examines, for one EU country, the degree of variation between valuation standards and current practice. Results are presented of the first ever survey of the professional practice of Portuguese valuers. Survey results reveal a largely part-time profession, which appears to be poorly equipped to meet the challenge outlined above.

    New water soluble EP additive for environment friendly fluids (2002)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Industrial lubrication & tribology 54 (2002), S. 285-290

    Notes: Synthetic and semi-synthetic fluids are known to be less sensitive to bacterial growth than soluble oils. However they often offer poor lubricating properties, especially in the extreme pressure (EP) regime. In this paper, we introduce an innovative sulfur based additive demonstrating outstanding EP performances despite being completely water soluble. In combination with oiliness and anti-wear agents, such as phosphate esters or alkyl thio acids, it exhibits a wide range of lubricating properties which are requested for multifunctional lubricants. Finally, we show that synthetic and semi-synthetic fluids containing this type of additive can be considered for severe metalworking operations.

    Adding value to performance measurement by using system dynamics and multicriteria analysis (2002)
    Bingley : Emerald

    Notes: The design, implementation and use of adequate performance measurement and management frameworks can play an important role if organisations are to succeed in an increasingly complex, interdependent and changing world. Yet, despite widespread recognition of the importance of performance assessment, there are some issues that require further study if measurement systems are to be effective in the process of management through monitoring and decision making. This article proposes and seeks to illustrate that the use of system dynamics and multicriteria decision analysis, as part of a broader framework for performance measurement, can address some of the issues identified. The use of these approaches, independently and in an integrated manner, provides a means of exploring the dynamic complexity of organisations, making explicit trade-offs between performance measures, and assessing the impacts of initiatives to improve performance, thereby enhancing understanding and ultimately contributing to the improvement of organisational performance.

    Market orientation and social services in private non-profit organisations (2002)
    Bradford : Emerald
    European journal of marketing 36 (2002), S. 1022-1046 
    Details
    ISSN: 0309-0566
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Very little attention has been devoted so far to the study of the market orientation concept in private non-profit organisations. However, there is a general agreement concerning the positive effects that this concept's adoption has on the non-profit services implementation as well as on these organisations' long-term success. Thus this paper aims at obtaining further empirical evidence on this field of research using a private foundations sample. Nevertheless, it is considered that the distinctive and specific nature of private non-profit organisations' activities deserves the development of a special instrument to evaluate their degree of market orientation. In this sense, one of this study's main contributions is the development of a market orientation measurement scale which accounts for the peculiarities of private non-profit organisations' operations. Additionally, the study proves the positive effect of market orientation on the non-profit outcomes and on the fulfilment of these organisations' missions.

    Benefits of the ISO 9000:1994 system: Some considerations to reinforce competitive advantage (2002)

    Notes: The purpose of this paper is to present the results of an exploratory study carried out on a sample of certified companies that operate in Spain, with the aim of obtaining empirical evidence on the benefits of the implantation of standardised quality systems. This study delves into the theoretical implications of a growing field of research that attempts to combine total quality management, its synergy with market orientation and the certification's consequences. The empirical evidence obtained enables us to affirm that the benefits attained by companies as a result of ISO certification are basically linked to an improvement in internal efficiency. This points to the need for evolution towards more complex systems where total quality management may find its place together with the market orientation philosophy.
