The Influence Of Firm Dispositions On Interfirm Relationship Formation In Business Markets, Jean L. Johnson, Ravipreet S. Sohi Dec 2001

The Influence Of Firm Dispositions On Interfirm Relationship Formation In Business Markets, Jean L. Johnson, Ravipreet S. Sohi

Department of Marketing: Faculty Publications

The central premise of this paper is that firm level characteristics or behavioral traits, referred to as predispositions, influence how the firm behaves and interacts in its interfirm relationships (EFRs). This augments traditional approaches that focus on the intra-relationship perspective and/or on environmental influences on the relationship. Firm predispositions of strategic intent and relational proclivity are expected to individually, and in combination, increase the extent of connectedness between partners in interfirm relationships. In turn, through connectedness, they affect relationship effectiveness in terms of reciprocity, information exchange, and cooperation. Results indicated that the predispositions increased connectedness, but combinational effects were not …

Knowledge Management In The Healthcare Sector, Srinivas Krishna Dec 2001

Knowledge Management In The Healthcare Sector, Srinivas Krishna

IIMB Management Review

The healthcare sector across the globe is under going a cultural transformation, as the traditional passive and respectful patient opulation is replaced by an assertive and sceptical group of ‘customers’. As the educated and informed consumer moves through the healthcare system and begins to use more services, s/he is demanding information and choice, engaging in self-care and selfmanagement of diseases, and asserting a voice in making healthcare decisions with providers. The proliferation of clinical data, outcomes management, provider information and pricing transparency will allow consumers to be responsible for their own destinies in a historically anti-consumer healthcare system. In fact, …

An Efficient Real-World Food Delivery System : The Dabbawallas Of Mumbai, Ashok Kumar, Stephen T Margulis, Jaideep Motwani

IIMB Management Review

The “Dabbawalla” or tiffin carrier system that operates in Mumbai (formerly Bombay) is unique and incredible in the complexity and enormity of its task, simplicity of its operation, and surprisingly low error rates for a system of its size. It is a daily service in which thousands of men carry and deliver over 200,000 lunches every day, within  three hour block of time, across the city’s 70-kilometre stretch, with each lunch box (known as tiffin or dabba) changing hands at least four times. Yet, for all its complexity and size, it is run and managed by a group of largely …

IIMB Management Review

Abstracted from the proceedings of a global conference on SCM (supply chain management) conducted by MDI (Management Development Iinstitute, Gurgaon) the book is an assortment of general and specific, qualitative and quantitative, experiential case studies and thoroughbred researches. It takes effort to assemble such diversity into a cohesive whole, but the editors have done a good job of it. Obviously with such a variety, not all readers would be interested in all topics. Twenty selected topics have been classified into five distinct sections.

Companies around the world have begun to make real business contributions through practices associated with knowledge management. Practices centred around KM have started yielding substantial results in global companies like Buckman Laboratories, Arthur Andersen, Microsoft, E&Y, Chevron, HP, BP Amoco, Booz Allen.

IIMB Management Review

Successful Branding is a good amalgam of real-life Indian case studies which highlight the role of branding in successful marketing. While most of the cases revolve around fast moving consumer brands, given the sensitivity of this category to market perceptions, houdhury does provide interesting cases of brand creation in low interest category commodity products such as cement(Ambuja Cement) and intermediate products such as denim (Arvind Mills).

Off-Shore Borrowing And Guarantees By Banks: Implication For Portfolio Management., C. C. Edordu

With regard to financing tenors, it is pertinent to point out that the tenor of liabilities of most banks in Nigeria and Africa is short. The paper has focused on the various discussions about the conditions for good governance, which raises questions about the structure and functioning of the state, its relationship to society and …

The paper has focused on the various discussions about the conditions for good governance, which raises questions about the structure and functioning of the state, its relationship to society and …
