Product architecture,organizational capabilities and IT integration for competitive advantage     

YoungWon Park  Takahiro Fujimoto  Paul Hong 《International Journal of Information Management》2012

Increasingly, firms recognize the strategic implications of front-end product design for improving total cost effectiveness. Computer-aided design (CAD) is becoming firms’ competitive weapon beyond its traditional function as a product design tool. Yet, it is unclear how the full potential of IT system, particularly the usage patterns of 3D CAD system, may be realized through organizational capabilities. This paper presents a model of IT system configurations and CAD usage patterns. Next, a typology of IT system configurations is presented based on (1) the degree of CAD integration between assembly makers and suppliers and (2) the structure of product design information (i.e., product architecture). The product architecture of four electronic firms illustrates that information integration through organizational capabilities is more important than IT investment itself. The findings suggest that a Korean firm accomplishes a greater level of IT integration compared to the other two Japanese firms and thus attain better market performance. This study offers valuable insight on effective IT integration strategy for competitive advantage in the global market.  相似文献

The problems of the beginning teacher in the Arab schools in Israel     

Zehava Toren  Salman Iliyan 《Teaching and Teacher Education》2008

This article focuses on the problems of beginning teachers in the Arab sector in Israel. The participants were 146 beginning teachers, 5 mentors, and 5 advisors. The research measurements included an open-ended question and a semi-structured interview. Our research revealed many different cultural aspects related to most of the problems of the beginning teachers. These problems are accompanied by difficult conflicts within the beginning Arab teachers who are exposed to western democratic educational models which are partially rejected by traditional Arab culture and society. The expectations of the teacher to become an agent of change in Arab society are not fulfilled in the first year, in which he/she tries to fit into the school, as well as the culture from which she/he comes and to which he returns. The problems which the beginning teachers report are related to didactic and disciplinary knowledge, adjustment to the organizational climate and culture of the school, problems of work overload, and individual differences among the pupils.  相似文献

Memory objects in project environments: Storing, retrieving and adapting learning in project-based firms     

Eugenia Cacciatori 《Research Policy》2008,37(9):1591-1601

This paper investigates the role of objects holding representations of knowledge in the transfer of learning across projects. On the basis of an in-depth case study, this paper shows that the way in which relatively simple artifacts, such as Excel workbooks, represent knowledge enables them to act as boundary objects across occupations and as memory devices across projects. It is the temporal capacity of these boundary objects that makes them points of juncture in a widely distributed memory system, enabling project-based firms to balance preservation and adaptation of knowledge. The mechanisms for the preservation of learning are not missing from project environments, rather they are less visible and less direct than in other settings, and therefore less docile in the face of managerial action.  相似文献   

Sources of differences in the pattern of adoption of organizational and managerial innovations from early to late 1990s, in the UK   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Isabel Maria Bodas Freitas 《Research Policy》2008,37(1):131-148

This paper explores empirically how the pattern of adoption of an organizational and managerial innovation changes as diffusion occurs. In particular, the paper investigates whether and how differences over time in the patterns of use of organisational innovation are related to changes in the characteristics of the innovation in terms of its functionality and relative complementarity with other innovations, as well as to changes in the needs and capabilities of firms. For this purpose, firm level data from the British Workplace Industrial Relations Survey, in 1990 and 1998, are used.  相似文献   

Gender and ethnic differences in perceptions of equal opportunity climate and job outcomes of US Army Reserve component personnel     

Armando X. Estrada  Colin R. Harbke 《Int J Intercult Relat》2008,32(5):466-478

We examined equal opportunity climate (EOC) perceptions of reserve component personnel in the US Army (n = 949). We expected that gender and ethnic group membership would influence perceptions of the equal opportunity climate; and that gender and ethnic group membership would moderate the relationship between equal opportunity climate perceptions and ratings of job satisfaction, organizational commitment and workgroup effectiveness. Consistent with our hypothesis, we found the women and minorities perceptions regarding the equal opportunity climate were less favorable than White men. We also found that both gender and ethnicity moderated the relationship between equal opportunity climate perceptions and job outcomes of these groups. Our findings suggest that different groups are sensitive to particular aspects of EOC (e.g., harassment or discrimination) and that these sensitivities affect job-related outcomes.  相似文献   

组织忘却学习如何影响绩效：基于元分析的证据     

郑明玉  徐梦丹  马文聪  黄攀 《科技管理研究》2021,41(13):176-182

利用元分析方法对国内外43篇组织忘却学习与绩效关系的实证研究进行分析,并探讨测量维度、地区文化和中介变量等因素是否会影响二者关系.研究结果表明,组织忘却学习与绩效显著正相关,测量维度、地区文化和中介变量对二者关系有显著的影响,在单维度测量、东方文化背景下或有中介变量存在时,组织忘却学习与其绩效的相关程度更高.  相似文献
