Crafting The Strategy: Concepts And Cases In Sategic Management By Ranjan Das, New Delhi: Tata Mcgraw Hill, 2000., S D Kshirsagar
Crafting The Strategy: Concepts And Cases In Sategic Management By Ranjan Das, New Delhi: Tata Mcgraw Hill, 2000., S D Kshirsagar
IIMB Management Review
This quotation summarises aptly the dichotomy of approaches to strategy as an encompassing concept and to its implementation in a business. If strategy is a science in all its facets, its descriptive or normative theories could be applied to a business situation. Seminal contributions in this respect made by H Igor Ansoff, Kenneth R Andrews and others, established that ‘sustained performance’ is determined by a firm’s ability to find a fit among its intrinsic capabilities, the environmental factors, and the strategy it adopts. In this sense, strategy is not only contextual but also resource specific. It is, therefore, dynamic and …

Leadership In Computer-Mediated Communication: Implications And Research Directions, Gerard George, Randall G. Sleeth
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
Despite the importance of interpersonal influence processes in computer-mediated communication (CMC) environments, the emergence and functioning of leaders in CMC settings remains unstudied. An initial model and propositions address the possible extension of selected leadership models beyond face-to-face (FTF) communications and into the non-face-to-face CMC environment. We (1) model relevant variables for CMC leadership, (2) briefly review the implications of selected leadership models regarding these CMC variables, and (3) extend leadership models into the CMC sphere.
Managing The State Of Readiness Of Army Paratroopers In Malaysia, Lim Kiat Choy
Managing The State Of Readiness Of Army Paratroopers In Malaysia, Lim Kiat Choy
Student Works (2000-2009)
The parachute force of the Malaysian Army was formed less than a decade ago to provide the Armed Forces with the elements of "reach" and "responsiveness". "Reach" because they can be deployed swiftly by air and engaging in tactical air landed operations (TALO). "Responsiveness" because they are always held at a high state of readiness. Hence, expectations on the paratroopers are high and the Army depends on such forces to ensure that its overall mission is accomplished. This study attempts to measure the attitudinal profile of the currentparatroopers in the Malaysian Army and to compare their combat behaviourwith those from …

Economics And Strategic Management: Bridging The Divide, Rakesh Singh
Economics And Strategic Management: Bridging The Divide, Rakesh Singh
IIMB Management Review
There has always been a great divide between economic theory and management theory. On the one hand, most business schools put basic economics on their curriculum and insist on compulsory courses in the subject. On the other hand, management theorists have found economics too abstract to be useful. Economists have always tried to run clown the case study approach as lacking in rigour and have criticized management's approach of generality.

Developmental Financial Institutions As Catalysts Of Entrepreneurship In Emerging Economies, Gerard George, Ganesh N. Prabhu
Developmental Financial Institutions As Catalysts Of Entrepreneurship In Emerging Economies, Gerard George, Ganesh N. Prabhu
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
With ongoing privatization efforts in emerging economies, governments have supported developmental financial institutions (DFIs) to spur entrepreneurial activity. The authors use stakeholder theory to suggest that postprivatization stakeholders differ in their preference to seek DFI support. The authors then posit that national developmental priorities influence the DFI's willingness to be involved in the governance of the privatized firm, and they discuss implications of DFI involvement for value creation and entrepreneurship in emerging economies.
Privatization In Emerging Economies: An Agency Theory Perspective, Bavi Dharwadkar, Gerard George, Pamela Brandes
Privatization In Emerging Economies: An Agency Theory Perspective, Bavi Dharwadkar, Gerard George, Pamela Brandes
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
The ineffectiveness of several privatized firms within emerging economies underscores the importance of agency theory issues and their impact on the privatization-performance relationship. The authors argue that weak governance and limited protection of minority shareholders intensify traditional principal-agent problems (perquisite consumption and entrenchment) and create unique agency problems (expropriation). The authors suggest that postprivatization performance can be enhanced by using appropriate ownership, management, and corporate structures that mitigate agency problems in the context of weak governance, and they highlight avenues for research.

Vulnerability Analysis: A Tool For Survival, S D Kshirsagar

Managers are often reluctant to tread the unknown path. They do not even try to foresee the unknown. But what you do not foresee can hurt you, and refusing to anticipate the future may lead to major problems and even extinction.
Corporate Strategies: A Comprehensive Handbook Based On Indian Experience: By Bani P Banerjee, New Delhi: Oxford University Press, 1998., K R S Murthy
IIMB Management Review
These are two very different, but complementary, books on strategy. Strategy is a term used widely with different meanings and in different contexts. It is often also used with various prefixes and suffixes, as in these two books. The basic notion of strategy underlying the two books, and therefore their approaches, differ, and it is important to understand the bias of the authors to be able to use the books properly.

Brief 2: Benchmarking From The Perspective Of Chief Financial Officers, New England Resource Center For Higher Education, University Of Massachusetts Boston
New England Resource Center for Higher Education Publications
Benchmarking is a widespread practice in all industries today. Higher education is no exception. One need only look at annual rankings in U.S. News and World Report to appreciate power of benchmarking in a market-driven society that is seeking the best value in education. To the public, and even to leaders in higher education, measures such as these amount to an externally imposed evaluation. The impact of benchmarking on an institution can be significant. But is it worth it? Chief Financial Officers from the New England area offer their views.
From Market Driven To Market Driving, Nirmalya Kumar, Lisa Scheer, Philip Kotler
From Market Driven To Market Driving, Nirmalya Kumar, Lisa Scheer, Philip Kotler
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
Firms are constantly exhorted to become more market driven. However, our study of 25 pioneering companies (e.g. Body Shop, IKEA, Tetra Pak) whose success has been based on radical business innovation indicates that such companies are better described as market driving. While market driven processes are excellent in generating incremental innovation, they rarely produce the type of radical innovation which underlies market driving companies. Market driving companies, who are generally new entrants into an industry, gain a more sustainable competitive advantage by delivering a leap in customer value through a unique business system. Market driving strategies entail high risk, but …

Environmental And Psychological Challenges Facing Entrepreneurial Development In Transitional Economies, Fred Luthans, Alexander D. Stajkovic, Elina Stajkovic
Environmental And Psychological Challenges Facing Entrepreneurial Development In Transitional Economies, Fred Luthans, Alexander D. Stajkovic, Elina Stajkovic
Department of Management: Faculty Publications
In the former planned economies, a major result of the economic reform programs has been the resurgence of private entrepreneurship. As these countries have struggled to make the transition to a market-based economy over the past decade, the environment has played an important structural role in entrepreneurial development. However, from a psychological perspective, the environmental structural context affects human action through cognitive processes such as self-regulation. Thus, we first identify and analyze the effect of the political, economic, legal, and cultural environment on the development of entrepreneurship in transitional economies, mainly using the former Soviet Union and particularly the Republic …

Regulatory Reforms In The Malaysian Telecommunications Sector, Wai Ching Poon
Regulatory Reforms In The Malaysian Telecommunications Sector, Wai Ching Poon
Student Works (2000-2009)
The Malaysian telecommunications sector was privatized in 1987. A crucial ingredient in the success of the privatization of any telecommunications sector is the accompanying regulatory reforms. The main objective of this study is to examine the regulatory reforms that have taken place in the Malaysian telecommunications sector. Shifting the provision of telecommunications services operations away from the government makes it easier for the sector to achieve greater efficiency and possibly freedom from political intervention. This process can be further strengthened by innovative financing and investment strategies. In reality, firms are much better informed than the regulator. The key concept of …

Nonperforming Loans In Banking And Financial Sector, Ning Ning Chang
Student Works (2000-2009)
It is crucially important to understand the connection between banking sector fragility and the nonperforning loans (NPLs) problem. The problem of mounting NPLs gained much prominence during the recession that hit particularly all countries over the world in 1980s. It is again become prominent following the financial crisis that recently hit the Asian countries. This study examines various factors contributing to the NPL problem, where some endogenous as well as exogenous factors are identified. Poor management and poor lending policies, fraud and embezzlement, moral hazard incentives, heavy government intervention and weaknesses in prudential regulation and supervision are among the factors …

The Selective Capital And Exchange Controls In Malaysia : A Malaysian Perspective, Muhamad Shukri Abdul Rani
Student Works (2000-2009)
The latest financial and currency crisis that struck Malaysia in 1997 has exposed several macroeconomic weaknesses within the Malaysian economy, in light of the huge influx of international capital flows and speculative activities, and highlighted once again the issue of premature capital account and financial liberalization. These weaknesses such as economic growth well above potential output, loss of efficiency in the economy, current account deficits, over dependence on the banking sector for loans, which were later used for unproductive investments such as those in the stock and property markets have made Malaysia vulnerable to the shocks that emanated from the …

Student Works (2000-2009)
Johor is one of the fastest growing stales in Malaysia. Its strong economic growth is very much to the credit of the state; in one form or another, the government intervened, systematically and through multiple channel to foster development. In relation to this, the study found that the state has not only created a business-friendly environment where the legal and regulatory structure was generally hospitable to private investment. the state has also established clear performance criteria for selective interventions and to monitor performance. In other words, intervention has taken place in disciplined and performance- based criteria. The State has been …
