Abstract This paper aims to establish the pitfalls of performance management (PM) in a selected South African Higher Education Institution (HEI) during the Covid-19 pandemic and suggest a strategic way forward. It adopted a quick review of documents in the South African HEI to identify the pitfalls. Rigid performance planning and poor timing of feedback in uncertain times, weak performance feedback culture, the performance process of accountability with lip service to employee growth and development, misperceptions of HR as the center of PM in disruptive times and lack of compassionate leadership to drive performance are the five pitfalls of PM. The identified pitfalls expose the cardinal weaknesses and offer an opportunity to transform PM in the selected South African HEI by embedding agility, integrating coaching and building a performance feedback culture. It is recommended that the South African HEI adopt a non-linear and fluid PM process, centralizing ongoing conversations and coaching for performance, employee development and organizational success. A framework for agile, continuous PM, which provides the wayward in a South African HEI, is proposed.
本文旨在确定在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间选定的南非高等教育机构(HEI)绩效管理(PM)的陷阱,并提出战略前进方向。它通过了对南非高等教育机构文件的快速审查,以确定缺陷。在不确定时期,僵化的绩效计划和糟糕的反馈时机,薄弱的绩效反馈文化,口头上对员工成长和发展的问责绩效过程,在混乱时期将人力资源视为项目管理的中心的误解,以及缺乏富有同情心的领导来推动绩效,这是项目管理的五大陷阱。确定的陷阱暴露了主要的弱点,并提供了一个机会,通过嵌入敏捷性,整合教练和建立绩效反馈文化,在选定的南非高等教育机构中转变项目管理。建议南非HEI采用非线性和流动的PM流程,集中正在进行的对话和指导,以实现绩效,员工发展和组织成功。提出了一个敏捷的、持续的项目管理框架,它提供了南非HEI中的任性。

Abstract The paper aims at the identification and analysis of major issues facing financial sector supervision resulting from the digitalization of financial markets and the digitalization of supervisory architecture with the tool box applied. It is based on the desk research using foremostly industrial studies which provide necessary information on the current international accomplishments and plans. The paper indicates a growing application of new supervisory tool box and digital-based suptech instruments. It is reinforced by increased digitalization of supervisory analytics, application of big data, and artificial intelligence. Digitalization involves additionally changing relationships between supervisors and supervised entities. The findings of the paper allow for better understanding of the necessary adaptive actions to be taken by both supervisors and supervised entities. The issues raised by the paper are poorly documented by current research and may constitute a contribution to further research in the area.

Abstract For the last several decades, global airline alliances have ensured their market presence in the aviation industry. Scholars have focused on the effects of alliance affiliation for airlines and what the competitive advantages of alliances are. However, these issues have been discussed in relation to operational aspects. The quality of strategic communication can be an important factor in achieving a competitive advantage and realizing a differentiation strategy. This study assessed the differences in quality of strategic communication between the three leading alliance groups (oneworld, SkyTeam, and Star Alliance) and a non-alliance group. Comprehensive content analysis was implemented using the letters of chief executive officers (CEOs) of 46 airlines. We found that the non-alliance group has more ideal CEO letters than the alliance groups, and the main topics and quality of CEO letters of alliance group differed. This study provides a novel insight into the competitive advantage of global airline alliances.
摘要在过去的几十年里,全球航空公司联盟确保了其在航空业的市场地位。学者们关注联盟关系对航空公司的影响以及联盟的竞争优势。然而,这些问题已经在业务方面进行了讨论。战略沟通的质量是实现竞争优势和差异化战略的重要因素。本研究评估了三个主要联盟集团(寰宇一家、天合联盟和星空联盟)与非联盟集团之间战略沟通质量的差异。利用46家航空公司首席执行官的信件进行了全面的内容分析。我们发现,非联盟组的CEO信函比联盟组更理想,并且联盟组CEO信函的主要主题和质量不同。这项研究为全球航空公司联盟的竞争优势提供了一个新的视角。

Abstract Recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) may involve significant potential threats to personal data privacy, national security, and social and economic stability. AI-based solutions are often promoted as “intelligent” or “smart” because they are autonomous in optimizing various processes. Because they can modify their behavior without human supervision by analyzing data from the environment, AI-based systems may be more prone to malfunctions and malicious activities than conventional software systems. Moreover, due to existing regulatory gaps, development and operation of AI-based products are not yet subject to adequate risk management and administrative supervision. Resonating to recent reports about potential threats resulting from AI-based systems, this paper presents an outline of a prospective risk assessment for adaptive and autonomous products. This research resulted in extensive catalogs of possible damages, initiating events, and preventive policies that can be useful for risk managers involved in conducting risk assessment procedures for AI-based systems. The paper concludes with the analysis and discussion of changes in business, legal, and institutional environments required to ensure the public that AI-based solutions can be trusted, are transparent and safe, and can improve the quality of life.
摘要人工智能(AI)的最新发展可能对个人数据隐私、国家安全以及社会和经济稳定构成重大潜在威胁。基于人工智能的解决方案通常被宣传为“智能”或“智能”,因为它们在优化各种流程方面是自主的。因为它们可以在没有人类监督的情况下通过分析来自环境的数据来修改自己的行为,基于人工智能的系统可能比传统的软件系统更容易发生故障和恶意活动。此外,由于存在监管空白,人工智能产品的开发和运营尚未受到足够的风险管理和行政监管。与最近关于基于人工智能的系统产生的潜在威胁的报告相呼应,本文概述了自适应和自主产品的前瞻性风险评估。这项研究得出了可能的损害、启动事件和预防政策的广泛目录,这对参与进行基于人工智能系统的风险评估程序的风险管理人员很有用。本文最后分析和讨论了商业、法律和制度环境的变化,以确保公众相信基于人工智能的解决方案是透明和安全的,并能提高生活质量。

Abstract Inter-industry has various capital structures to take advantage of growth opportunities due to agency differences and information asymmetric problems. This research aims to analyze: (1) the differences in leverage between industries and (2) the impact of shareholders–debtholders conflict and information asymmetric on growth opportunities. The firm-level data used is extracted from Indonesia Stock Exchange's annual reports from 2008 to 2019. Authors used the analysis of variance (ANOVA). The findings show differences in leverage between industries. However, they are relatively stable and not excessive for assets to prevent conflicts between managers and shareholders with debtholders. Equity is also not used to utilize growth to reduce the discretionary power (dilution) of shareholders. As a result, the use of opportunities and growth is limited. This study identifies agency problems and asymmetric information that determines independent companies' decisions in exploiting growth opportunities.
摘要由于代理差异和信息不对称问题,行业间存在各种资本结构以利用增长机会。本研究旨在分析:(1)行业间杠杆率的差异;(2)股东-债权人冲突和信息不对称对增长机会的影响。所使用的公司级数据摘自印度尼西亚证券交易所2008年至2019年的年度报告。作者采用方差分析(ANOVA)。研究结果显示,不同行业的杠杆率存在差异。然而,它们相对稳定,对于资产来说并不过分,以防止经理和股东与债券持有人之间的冲突。股权也不用于利用增长来减少股东的自由裁量权(稀释)。因此,对机会和增长的利用是有限的。这项研究确定了决定独立公司利用增长机会决策的代理问题和不对称信息。

Abstract The study investigated the effect of innovative behavior of managers on the competitive advantage of small, medium, and micro enterprises (SMMEs) in South Africa. In addition, the study examined the moderating role of environmental dynamism in the relationship between innovative behavior and competitive advantage. The study adopted the quantitative research design, and the cross-sectional survey method was used for data collection. Hierarchical regression was used for data analysis. Based on a dataset of 140 respondents, the results indicated that innovative behavior has a significant positive impact on competitive advantage. The moderating effect of environmental dynamism is insignificant. Theoretically, the study explains the moderating effect of environmental dynamism in the relationship between innovative behavior and firm competitive advantage. To sustain competitive advantage, it is important for firms to invest in the innovative behavior of managers and employees through training. Management must foster an environment that support the generation of new ideas by employees and the coordination of such ideas to improve products and services.
摘要本研究探讨了管理者创新行为对南非中小微企业竞争优势的影响。此外,研究还考察了环境动态性在创新行为与竞争优势关系中的调节作用。本研究采用定量研究设计,数据收集采用横断面调查方法。采用层次回归进行数据分析。基于140个被调查者的数据,结果表明创新行为对竞争优势有显著的正向影响。环境动力的调节作用不显著。从理论上解释了环境动态性在创新行为与企业竞争优势关系中的调节作用。为了保持竞争优势,企业必须通过培训对管理者和员工的创新行为进行投资。管理层必须营造一种环境,支持员工产生新的想法,并协调这些想法,以改进产品和服务。

Abstract The quality of online education is of interest to universities around the world. Only high quality and cyclical evaluation are the conditions for obtaining students’ satisfaction with this form of education. In the pandemic era, digital dissemination and open education have become a special obligation of academic education. This paper aims to present the opinions of postgraduate students on the quality of e-learning forced by the Covid-19 pandemic. The study was conducted using an online survey questionnaire sent to all 173 MBA and Executive MBA (EMBA) students studying during the pandemic era in Poland's leading Business School, 40% of whom returned completed valid surveys. Students assessed aspects of e-learning such as teaching materials, communication with lecturers, the attractiveness of online classes, networking, strategies, and criteria for evaluating didactic activities, e-learning platform, and support received from the university. The results showed that although most examined aspects are perceived very well or well by the students, there is always some space for improvement. Despite the fact that the study was conducted on a small sample of students, their opinions obtained during the survey provide valuable information to universities about the quality of postgraduate e-learning from its main actors, that is, students. Based on this, the paper presents clear recommendations to universities on how the quality of online education could be managed and improved.
摘要在线教育的质量是世界各地大学关注的问题。只有高质量和周期性的评估才是获得学生对这种教育形式满意的条件。在疫情时代,数字传播和开放教育已成为学术教育的一项特殊义务。本文旨在提出研究生对新冠肺炎疫情迫使的电子学习质量的看法。这项研究是使用一份在线调查问卷进行的,该问卷发给了疫情期间在波兰领先商学院学习的173名MBA和EMBA学生,其中40%的学生完成了有效的调查。学生们评估了电子学习的各个方面,如教材、与讲师的沟通、在线课程的吸引力、网络、策略和评估教学活动的标准、电子学习平台以及从大学获得的支持。研究结果表明,尽管学生们对大多数被检查的方面都感觉很好,但总有一些改进的空间。尽管这项研究是在一小部分学生身上进行的,但他们在调查期间获得的意见为大学提供了有关研究生电子学习质量的宝贵信息,这些信息来自于主要参与者,即学生。基于此,本文就如何管理和提高在线教育质量向大学提出了明确的建议。

Abstract This paper presents research conducted in the United Arab Emirates with the management of Bareburger, the chain of sustainable restaurants, as well as among its clients. In our project, we are interested in the relation between the offer of sustainability and the culture of conscious consumption. The opinions of industry experts and customers collected in an interview session are analyzed to derive the answer to the research questions. The research focuses on finding the possibility of changing the mindset and habits of consumers and creating an impact on consumer behavior by offering a responsible and sustainable nutrition model. An experiment was conducted to analyze the effect of sustainable restaurants on consumer culture in terms of cultivating healthy food habits. In our case study, we analyze Bareburger, a healthier fast-food chain that originated in the United States, which took the concept of sustainability to a completely new level, from ideation to implementation. Observing this process, we checked whether the unhealthy eating habits that we observe in the Middle East can be changed through the carefully composed model of a responsible restaurant.
本文介绍了在阿联酋进行的研究与管理Bareburger,可持续发展的连锁餐厅,以及其客户之间。在我们的项目中,我们感兴趣的是可持续发展与有意识消费文化之间的关系。通过对访谈过程中收集的行业专家和客户的意见进行分析,得出研究问题的答案。研究的重点是通过提供负责任和可持续的营养模式,寻找改变消费者心态和习惯的可能性,并对消费者行为产生影响。通过实验分析可持续餐厅在培养健康饮食习惯方面对消费文化的影响。在我们的案例研究中,我们分析了Bareburger,这是一家起源于美国的健康快餐连锁店,它将可持续发展的概念从构思到实施提升到了一个全新的水平。通过观察这一过程,我们检查了我们在中东观察到的不健康的饮食习惯是否可以通过精心组成的负责任的餐厅模式来改变。
