    European Management Selection Methods: A Comparison of Five Countries (1994)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    International journal of selection and assessment 2 (1994), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1468-2389
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: There is some disagreement in the recent literature on how similar or different are the methods used to select employees in different European countries. The confusion comes about in part because different samples and questions have been used in different countries to investigate this issue, making comparison between countries very difficult. This study investigates managerial selection methods in three members of the European Community, Belgium, Germany and Italy, using the same questionnaire and sample characteristics previously used in Britain and France. This allows a direct comparison between the five countries. The samples comprised 250 companies randomly drawn from the top 1,000 in each country. Questionnaires sent to the companies asked a range of questions concerning the frequency of use of selection methods and attitudes towards their use. Results show major differences in frequency of use of different methods. Some of these differences are: British and German companies tend to use assessment centres much more often than other countries, while Germany and Italy are relatively infrequent users of psychological tests. Companies in the Flemish (Dutch speaking) part of Belgium are the most likely to use biodata, while their French speaking compatriots are similar to the French in their liking for graphology. Both Belgium and France make much less use of references than do Britain, Germany and Italy. Results suggest that harmonization of selection practice in Europe is a long way off. Habit, tradition and culture determine the choice of selection method much more than do the relative predictive validities of the techniques.

    A comparison of a competitive and non-competitive outdoor management development programme (1999)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Personnel review 28 (1999), S. 58-76 
    Details
    ISSN: 0048-3486
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This paper compares the immediate impact of an outdoor management development programme run in two different formats. The original OMD programme which was evaluated had a competitive format with individuals participating in teams on a variety of outdoor challenges in order to develop personal team-working skills. On each activity the teams were awarded points depending on how successful they were judged to have been, so that one team "won" and one team "lost". Evaluation of this programme indicated that those in losing teams felt they had learned less from the experience compared to those in winning teams. In consequence, the format of the programme was changed so that the competition between the teams was abolished. Evaluation results indicated a much more positive impact for all participants. These results are discussed in terms of how the different programme formats encouraged different types of review processes.

    Effecting HRM-style practices through an integrated human resource information system: An e-greenfield site? (2001)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Personnel review 30 (2001), S. 351-371 
    Details
    ISSN: 0048-3486
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: In examining attempts to move towards HRM-style practices in organisations, the term "greenfield" helps to conceptualise the break with existing employee relations practices, either on new or on existing sites, or to undertake a philosophical break with the past. Focuses on one stimulus to such transformational change - the development of human resource information systems (HRIS) as an opportunity structure that can enable a break with the past. Considers a case study of a large company implementing an HRIS integrated with other functional systems, to examine whether an e-greenfield site exists. This is defined as a break with the past in the design and use of a computerised HRIS at either new or old organisational locations, to facilitate a greenfield HR philosophy and enable a more strategic role for HR specialists.

    Managers' Beliefs about Factors Affecting the Adoption of Technological Innovation: A Study Using Cognitive Maps (1994)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Journal of managerial psychology 9 (1994), S. 3-11

    ISSN: 0268-3946

    Topics: Psychology , Economics
    Notes: Success in appropriating technological innovations is likely to be a keyfactor in maintaining a firm's competitive advantage. Managers'cognitions, or belief systems, play an important role in thedecision-making process that leads to the adoption of innovations, butresearch in this area has been neglected. Reports on a cognitive mappingmethodology that has been used to reveal managers' beliefs about thecauses and effects of a particular type of technological innovation.These managers' beliefs are compared with suggestions made in theacademic literature about the factors that influence a firm's level ofinnovation and some interesting differences are discussed. Concludes byexamining the potential for cognitive mapping techniques to be used aspractical tools to assist managers in their decision making.

    The diffusion, design and social shaping of production management information systems in Europe (2000)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Information, technology & people 13 (2000), S. 27-46 
    Details
    ISSN: 0959-3845
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Computer Science , Sociology
    Notes: Information systems for production management tend to be promoted by technology suppliers as standardised solutions which form a singular "best practice". However, as these technologies are configurational, the notion of best practice is illusory. Data on the diffusion and design of information systems for production management across four European countries indicate distinctive national differences. It is argued that these can best be explained at two levels: first, national differences in the social institutional networks through which information about these systems is diffused socially shapes patterns of adoption and design; second pre-existing patterns of work design and managerial practices may influence the degree of "fit" between particular design philosophies and prevailing organizational contexts in different countries. Differences in the particular roles of professional association networks and technology suppliers in the diffusion process are explained in terms of different patterns of knowledge sharing across countries.

    The superwoman syndrome: a comparison of the "heroine" in Denmark and the UK (1996)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Women in management review 11 (1996), S. 36-41 
    Details
    ISSN: 0964-9425
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Sociology , Economics
    Notes: Reports that there has been a significant change in women's attitudes to home and work in many Western countries and that in conjunction with this, many women are expanding their roles to encompass paid employment as well as their traditional domestic responsibilities. Reveals that the change is more advanced in Denmark than the UK but, nevertheless, change has occurred. However, indicates that there is little evidence that men are expanding their roles to encompass the domestic and child-care responsibilities traditionally undertaken by women. Concludes that this is true even in Denmark where fathers have the potential to take paternity and parental leave, but rarely do. Maintains that women are thus left to occupy two roles, which to some extent are incompatible, unless the woman compromises by taking part-time employment. Argues that, until the issue of the gendered domestic economy is confronted, real progress towards equal opportunities is inevitably going to be limited.

    The Use (And Abuse) of Psychometric Tests In British Industry and Commerce (1993)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Human resource management journal 4 (1993), S. 0 
    Details

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Sue Newell, from the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences, University of Birmingham, and Viv Shackleton, from Aston University Business School, report on a survey of the use of psychometric tests in selection and in training and development. They argue that, while the majority of test users appear to have recognised the importance of training those who administer and interpret test results, the provision of discussion time, or even simple feedback of test results, is not universally practised. This is especially so in the case of tests used in selection.
