International Differences in the Business Practices and Productivity of Firms
In recent years, globalization and the expansion of information technologies have reshaped managerial practices, forcing multinational firms to adjust business practices to different environments and domestic companies to adjust to their foreign competitors. In International Differences in the Business Practices and Productivity of Firms, a distinguished group of contributors examines the phenomenon of widespread differences in managerial practices across firms, establishments within firms, and countries. This volume brings together eight studies that combine qualitative and quantitative insider analysis of business practices such as the use of teams, incentive pay, lean manufacturing, and quality control, revealing the elements that determine which practices are adopted and why. International Differences in the Business Practices and Productivity of Firms offers a much-needed model for measuring the productivity and performance of international firms in a fast-paced global economy.
Digitalised Talent Management

Strategic Analytics
More than ever, data drives decisions in organizations—and we have more data, and more ways to analyze it, than ever. Yet strategic initiatives continue to fail as often as they did when computers ran on punch cards. Economist and research scientist Alec Levenson says we need a new approach. The problem, Levenson says, is that the business people who devise the strategies and the human resources people who get employees to implement them use completely different analytics. Business analytics can determine if operational priorities aren't being achieved but can't explain why. HR analytics reveal potentially helpful policy and process improvements but can't identify which would have the grea...

An integrated PLS-SEM model on the interplay of antecedents and moderators driving corporate entrepreneurship activity in South Africa PURPOSE: Corporate entrepreneurship (CE) is a multi-faceted phenomenon, and although there is extant research on CE, there are knowledge gaps that warrant a deeper understanding. Indeed, focusing solely on independent variables overlooks the extent to which CE activities are mutually and reciprocally supportive. We align our article with research calls for theory building, which provides a novel understanding of the dynamic complexity of the CE process. METHODOLOGY: In this regard, we formulate and empirically evaluate an integrated CE model that reflects the...
