IIMB Management Review

The festive season is on; compliments and good wishes from all of us here at the Review. It is a pleasure to reach this issue of the journal to you. I am conscious of the dateline impact that consistently leaves one with the impression of delay, even though the issues themselves are coming out at approximately three month intervals. To catch up with this, we have had, once again, to combine the June and September quarters. This should, hopefully, help the combined issue, when released in October, not being seen as dated. Our endeavour, however, remains to bring out quarterly …

Evaluating Business Cases Some Guidelines, N Balasubramanian

IIMB Management Review

As the case method of instruction in teaching and training in business and management education finds increasing acceptance, the focus is now on how to enhance the quality of business cases that are written, and also on how to upgrade the quality of teaching through the case method. More and more users of cases, and the authors themselves, would want to evaluate cases before deciding to use them.

Are Indian Companies Ready For Just-In-Time?, B Mahadevan

IIMB Management Review

The time is ripe to understand what the Indian industry has done to assimilate the Just-in-Time (JIT) philosophy. Practitioners belonging to different sectors of industry would like to know what areas to concentrate on for successful JIT implementation. The study addresses these issues and seeks to bridge the gap between the 'doers' and 'thinkers' of JIT implementation.

Towards Understanding Why Assessment Centers Work: An Evaluation Of The Subtle Criterion Contamination Hypothesis, Christopher T. Rotolo

Psychology Theses & Dissertations

The success of the assessment center method in predicting job performance has been one of the most researched efforts in personnel psychology (Thornton, 1992). However, there is little reported evidence showing that assessment center procedures produce scores that serve as valid representations of separate constructs (Klimoski & Brickner, 1987). It is perhaps ironic, then, that despite the success stories, we still do not understand why assessment centers "work," (i.e., predict performance).

This study examined the subtle criterion contamination hypothesis as an explanation to assessment center validity. The subtle criterion contamination hypothesis states that assessment centers predict managerial performance because assessors …

Research Note Perceptions Are Reality: How Family Meetings Lead To Collective Action, Timothy G. Habbershon, Joseph H. Astrachan

Faculty Articles

Family meetings develop family unity through the creation of perceived shared beliefs. The article presents a model with strategic implications showing how shared beliefs lead to collective action, which leads to outcomes and then the reassessment of the shared beliefs. Finally, the article reports on initial research on the reliability of instruments developed to explore one aspect of this model: The creation of shared beliefs through family meetings. The initial results suggest that perceptions of shared beliefs may be an important stimulant of collective family activity.

Organizational Configurations And Performance: A Meta-Analysis, David J. Ketchen Jr., James G. Combs, Craig J. Russell, Chris Shook, Michelle A. Dean, Janet Runge, Franz T. Lohrke, Stefanie E. Naumann, Dawn Ebe Haptonstahl, Robert Baker, Brendon Beckstein, Charles Handler, Heather Honig, Stephen Lamoureux

Faculty Publications

The link between organizational configurations and performance has become a central and somewhat controversial focus of research in the strategic management literature, We statistically aggregated results from 40 original tests of the configurations-performance relationship. In contrast to previous qualitative reviews, this meta-analysis demonstrated that an organization's performance is partially explained by its configuration. Tests of four potential moderators showed that organizations' configurations contributed more to performance explanation to the extent that studies used (1) broad definitions of configurations, (2) single-industry samples, and (3) longitudinal designs, Results highlight the need for programmatic research.

Design, Simulation And Fabrication Of A Mems In-Situ Contactless Sensor To Detect Plasma Induced Damage During Reactive Ion Etching, Subramanian Ganesh

Theses

The present trend in the semiconductor industry is towards submicron devices. An inevitable process technique in achieving this is by reactive ion etching of the polysilicon gate. During RIE, the gate oxide may get damaged due to several causes. One of the main causes of the damage is the non-uniformity of the plasma. It is reported that these plasma inconsistencies are mainly due to electrode design and that they create spatial plasma potential fluctuation. These fluctuations are reported to be in the range of 10-20 Volts. By providing an in-situ monitoring of the wafers, the reliability of the device could …
