    Reflections: A three-tier model of organizational competencies (1996)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Journal of managerial psychology 11 (1996), S. 44-51 
    Details
    ISSN: 0268-3946
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Psychology , Economics
    Notes: Provides a framework for the assessment of a person's competencies. Describes three types of competence: job specific (JSC), general management (GMC) and corporate specific (CSC). JSCs and GMCs relate to performance in a particular job, while CSCs determine an individual's success in an organization. Proposes that a profile of the competencies necessary for an employee to do well in a role and in a company can be identified. In turn, these can be used as a basis for selection, training and management development, which can ensure an optimum match between the competencies of individuals and the capabilities needed for effective performance in an organizational position. Competencies can also be used as an indicator of future career performance, although at senior management levels this is predominantly dependent on a person's CSCs.

    Managing suppliers: when fewer can mean more (1997)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of physical distribution and logistics management 27 (1997), S. 422-436 
    Details
    ISSN: 0960-0035
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Shows that manufacturing companies place a strong emphasis on the role of supply-chain management - the management of supplies, suppliers, inventory and distribution. Much of the literature talks about the trend to reduce supplier base. Database analysis gave empirical evidence of this trend in UK manufacturing companies - 201 companies from different industrial sectors cut their supplier base over the last four years, by 9 per cent in the household products sector and approximately 35 per cent in the process, engineering and electronics sectors. Reports on further research at four companies, looking at their experiences with suppliers and establishes that a key reason for supplier base reduction is to free time to manage the remaining suppliers more effectively. Identifies the criteria used for supplier selection and reasons why single-sourcing was avoided. Suggests that these findings on supplier management have implications for both researchers and managers in industry.

    Details
    ISSN: 0960-0035
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Although there is growing enthusiasm for supply chain managementand integrated logistics, much prescriptive writing rests on a flimsyempirical base. Explores the methodological dilemmas which arise inresearch in logistics practice. Presents three contrasting models ofresearch frameworks. Outlines the experiences of a novel investigationinto supply chain integration in the UK carried out in the first half of1994. Makes recommendations about the use of secondary data, andstrategies for future research.

    A hierarchical model of business competence (1997)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Integrated manufacturing systems 8 (1997), S. 265-272 
    Details
    ISSN: 0957-6061
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Production Engineering, Mining and Metallurgy, Traffic Engineering, Precision Mechanics , Economics
    Notes: Although widely used, the concept of business competence is not well defined. Proposes a hierarchical model which integrates the different types of competence which have appeared in the operations and general management literature in recent years. Proposes two new types of competence to complete the model, with illustrative examples from the Management Today/ Cranfield Best Factory Awards database.

    A framework for analysing supply chain improvement (1996)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of operations & production management 16 (1996), S. 19-34 
    Details
    ISSN: 0144-3577
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Presents a classification scheme which allows the interpretation of supply chain improvement initiatives. While there is an abundance of anecdotal evidence, there is little systematic theoretical development in the field. This is partly because of the many different ways in which co-operation between trading partners may be developed. The suggested framework is useful in that it highlights some important yet often ignored issues relating to the logic and outcomes of collaborative activities. Illustrates the use of the framework by the secondary analysis of some well-known UK examples in logistics and supply-chain management and with supplementary data gathered by questionnaire. Concludes by discussing the limitations of the scheme and its role in further research.

    Customer support and new product development - An exploratory study (2001)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of operations & production management 21 (2001), S. 275-301 
    Details
    ISSN: 0144-3577
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Customer support is an essential element in the successful marketing of many products - from domestic appliances to high-tech computer networks. Many aspects of support are strongly influenced by a product's design and so customer support requirements should be evaluated during new product development. However, researchers have largely ignored the relationship between new product development and customer support. The current study addressed this gap by using case studies and a workshop, both conducted with leading companies, to identify how customer support is typically evaluated at the design stage and to determine the importance of this aspect of new product development. The results have implications for managers responsible for product innovation - they show the need to allocate adequate resources to integrating customer support requirements into new product development.

    in Japan: an empirical study (2003)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of operations & production management 23 (2003), S. 1426-1446 
    Details
    ISSN: 0144-3577
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This paper reports the study of kaizen as practised in a selection of Japanese companies. After discussing the general understanding of kaizen and proposing a clear definition, the paper describes the methodology of the study, and presents findings from the research, taking Nippon Steel Corporation (NSC) as a base model and comparing this with the data from other companies. The development of kaizen activity in NSC is presented together with a description of the current nature of kaizen, which is compared with other firms in the steel and automotive industries to assess uniformity. The paper concludes that kaizen evolves uniquely within each organisation, following changes to the organisation's business environment. Detailed implementations vary considerably between organisations, but all rely on kaizen to achieve targets as an integral element in the operations management system. This yields insights into kaizen's sustainability, and points to its vulnerability to external economic conditions.
