Developing Csr Giving As A Dynamic Capability For Salient Stakeholder Management, John Cantrell, Elias Kyriazis, Gary Noble
Faculty of Business - Papers (Archive)
In this paper, we draw upon the emerging view of strategic cognition and issue salience and show that CSR giving has evolved into more than an altruistic response to being asked for support, to one which is embedded in the strategic frames of management and which supports organizational identity. The managerial action as a result of such strategic cognition suggests that modern organizations are seeking to develop CSR giving processes that provide them with a competitive advantage. We draw on the resource-based view of organizations and the VRIO framework to provide the theoretical foundations for our argument that CSR implementation …

Goal programming (GP) is an important class of multi-criteria decision models widely used to analyze and solve applied problems involving conflicting objectives. Originally introduced in the 1950s by Charnes et al. (Manag Sci 2:138-151, 1955) the popularity and applications of GP has increased immensely due to the mathematical simplicity and modeling elegance. Over the recent decades algorithmic developments and computational improvements have greatly contributed to the diverse applications and several variants of GP models. In this paper we present a state of the art literature review on GP applications in three selected (prominent and popular) areas, namely engineering, management and …

It is widely accepted that advances in information technology (IT) will generate new opportunities when suppliers, business partners and customers work together to co-create and co-produce value. However, results from prior studies show that the mere possession of IT is unlikely to generate business value. Rather, IT creates value when information - frequently produced by IT infrastructure - is used to support complementary organizational and human resources. Still, the hypothesis that greater investment in IT will generate business value requires caution. The focus of this special issue is to extend our understanding of how firms in a supply chain create …
Ownership Characteristics And Earnings Management In China, Fei Guo, Shiguang Ma
Ownership Characteristics And Earnings Management In China, Fei Guo, Shiguang Ma
Faculty of Business - Papers (Archive)
Chinese firms are characterized by multiple ownership and high ownership concentration. In this research, we conduct an intensive investigation into the determination of ownership characteristics in earnings management behaviors for Chinese domestic listed firms. Our results indicate that earnings management is determined by the motivations of different types of ownerships. In particular, when a state agency is the largest owner, firms are less likely to undertake earnings management, although the state ownership ratio is positively associated with earnings management. Tradable ownership and particularly concentrated tradable ownership reduce earnings management, while total ownership concentration fosters earnings management.

Utilising A Change Management Perspective To Examine The Implementation Of Corporate Rebranding In A Non-Profit Sme, Paul A. Chad
Faculty of Business - Papers (Archive)
The purpose of this article is to use a change management perspective to investigate how a non-profit SME conducted corporate rebranding and determine in this important new context the usefulness of the principles of corporate rebranding developed by Merrilees and Miller primarily in relation to large for-profit organisations. Research is based upon case study of an Australian non-profit SME health insurance organisation that recently conducted corporate rebranding. Via a change management perspective incorporating a discourse transformation framework, semi-structured in-depth interviews with managers and employees examined the rebranding process and explored manager and employee experiences of the journey. The rebranding was …

The United Nations (UN) Global Compact (GC) was launched in 2000 to encourage businesses worldwide to adopt sustainable and responsible management. It now has over 12,000 participants https://www.unglobalcompact.org/ParticipantsAndStakeholders/index.html . In 2007, the UN launched the Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME) to inspire responsible management education and research. Over 500 business schools and management-related academic institutions are signatories to PRME http://www.unprme.org/participants/ . However, many practising managers were not exposed to these principles when they went through university. To ensure that managers pay more than lip service to the Global Compact principles, such as being opposed to child labour and corruption, …
Coachable Moments: Identifying Factors That Influence Managers To Take Advantage Of Coachable Moments In Day-To-Day Management, Christina Turner, Grace Mccarthy
Coachable Moments: Identifying Factors That Influence Managers To Take Advantage Of Coachable Moments In Day-To-Day Management, Christina Turner, Grace Mccarthy

The purpose of this study was to identify the factor s that influence managers to take advantage of coachable moments in day-to-day management. Inte rviews with ten managers found that time, skills, and relationships were key factors considered by ma nagers, but that these were considered within the context of potential "risk" to the manager. Th is paper elaborates on these findings and makes recommendations for further research into how manage rs consciously assess the risks associated with coaching, in order to decide whether to take a dvantage of an informal coaching opportunity.
