A growing importance of services sectors for global trade invokes the question of how to combat the innate complexity and inefficiency of service operations. As a response to the growing request for enhancement of service efficiency, companies implement Continuous Improvement (CI) initiatives to reduce costs of operations. However, the researchers failed to reach consensus on the effect of CI operations efficiency in non-manufacturing environment. Thus, the proposed study attempts to answer an important question of impact of CI on cost reduction in the services environment by applying Structural Equation Modeling to the 304 survey responses collected in the course of the study. Furthermore, the research investigates how organizational practices impact relationship between CI and cost reduction. The study suggests that CI itself is unable to reduce costs and requires a support of multiple organizational practices, such as Rewards and Recognition of Employees, Quality Culture, Employee Training and Goal setting, to obtain the benefits of cost reduction. Consequently, the research results allow for a conclusion with a vast practical implication that there is need to develop a comprehensive infrastructure of organizational practices to support CI in order to attain cost reduction. The research findings provide recommendations for CI implementation and investment prioritization in service organizations.
服务业对全球贸易日益重要,这就引出了如何应对服务业固有的复杂性和效率低下的问题。作为对提高服务效率日益增长的要求的回应,公司实施了持续改进(CI)计划,以降低运营成本。然而,研究人员未能就非制造环境下CI运营效率的影响达成共识。因此,拟议的研究试图通过将结构方程建模应用于研究过程中收集的304份调查回复,来回答CI对服务环境中成本降低的影响这一重要问题。此外,本研究还探讨了组织实践如何影响CI和成本降低之间的关系。研究表明,CI本身无法降低成本,需要多种组织实践的支持,如员工奖励和认可、质量文化、员工培训和目标设定,以获得降低成本的好处。因此,研究结果得出了一个具有广泛实际意义的结论,即需要开发一个全面的组织实践基础设施来支持CI,以实现成本降低。研究结果为服务组织CI的实施和投资优先级提供了建议。

The article presents the utilization of discriminatory analysis in small and medium sized hospitals. The discriminatory models are used to estimate the probability of researched hospitals bankruptcy. The financial distress is tested with two popular models, one foreign (the Altman Z’’Score Model) and one domestic (the Mączyńska Model). The authors also construct their own model, adapted to the specification of medical activity. The results indicate that the author’s model is much more suitable for the small and medium sized hospitals, as the rate of prediction is highest. It may indicate that in the health care sector, particularly in small and medium sized companies, different phenomena occur, which affect these companies’ financial distress. Despite this, this study indicates that the proposed model is one of the useful tools for their evaluation, especially when combined with other financial as well as non-financial tools. Finally, it was possible to verify the hypothesis that it is possible to create a discriminatory model dedicated to SMEs hospitals, which results are more accurate than using different, not adjusted to health care sector specifics, discriminatory models.
本文介绍了辨别性分析在中小医院的应用。利用歧视模型对所研究医院的破产概率进行了估计。金融危机用两种流行的模型进行测试,一种是国外的(Altman Z " Score模型),另一种是国内的(Mączyńska模型)。作者还构建了自己的模型,以适应医疗活动的规范。结果表明,该模型更适用于中小医院,预测准确率最高。这可能表明,在保健部门,特别是在中小型公司中,出现了不同的现象,影响到这些公司的财务困境。尽管如此,本研究表明,所提出的模型是对其进行评估的有用工具之一,特别是与其他金融和非金融工具相结合时。最后,有可能验证这样一个假设,即有可能创建一个专门针对中小企业医院的歧视性模型,其结果比使用不同的、未根据医疗保健部门具体情况进行调整的歧视性模型更准确。

The human resources management strategy is currently considered one of the most important elements of a corporate strategy, mainly because its main goal is to work with people as the most important capital of each organization. Without people, the organization is unable to meet its goals. A well-prepared HR strategy and an action plan for its implementation enables an organization to effectively plan and manage individual processes to support the organization's goals and to respond flexibly to any change. The paper deals with a sub-research of the management of small and medium-sized enterprises in the Czech Republic. It is focused on the use of HR strategy in SMEs management and the assessment of the significance of HR process. Data were gathered as questionnaires and interviews from 290 enterprises operating in the Czech Republic. The research was done in 2016. Unfortunately, the HR strategy is defined by 2/5 of small and medium-sized enterprises in the Czech Republic. Based on statistics analysis, the authors proved a weak relation between HR strategy and the function of human
人力资源管理战略目前被认为是企业战略中最重要的要素之一,主要是因为它的主要目标是把人作为每个组织最重要的资本来工作。没有人,组织就无法实现它的目标。一个准备充分的人力资源战略及其实施的行动计划使组织能够有效地计划和管理各个过程,以支持组织的目标,并灵活地应对任何变化。本文对捷克中小企业管理进行了子研究。重点研究了人力资源战略在中小企业管理中的运用,以及对人力资源过程重要性的评估。数据以问卷和访谈的形式从290家在捷克共和国经营的企业中收集。这项研究于2016年完成。不幸的是,捷克共和国五分之二的中小企业都制定了人力资源战略。通过统计分析,证明了人力资源战略与人的功能之间存在较弱的关系

This study attempts to identify the impact of investor's attention which is surrogated by the search engine query data on the internet using Google on returns and liquidity. The data used in this study is extracted from Google Trend data set, and hand-collected data from the Indonesia Capital Market Directory (ICMD). By employing panel data analysis, our results show that search engine query data (information retrieval) by using the internet (Google) is clearly an important method of attenuating the level of asymmetry information between the informed and UN-informed investors. Moreover, the utilization of microeconomic factors such as financial or non-financial information that can be easily obtained from the annual reports are strongly useful in helping investors preparing their portfolio of investment. Meanwhile, the macroeconomics factors such as inflation, interest rate, exchange rate, and GDP are the country-level effect which results in either positive or negative impact on returns and liquidity. By employing 83 samples and six years time period of observation, we infer that information retrieval through the search engine query data on the internet, macroeconomics factors and microeconomics factors are strongly and significantly related to returns and liquidity in the Indonesia stock exchange.
本研究试图确定投资者的注意力,这是由互联网上的搜索引擎查询数据使用谷歌代对回报和流动性的影响。本研究使用的数据来自谷歌趋势数据集,以及印度尼西亚资本市场目录(ICMD)的手工收集数据。通过面板数据分析,我们的研究结果表明,利用互联网(谷歌)搜索引擎查询数据(信息检索)显然是降低知情投资者和联合国知情投资者之间信息不对称程度的重要方法。此外,利用微观经济因素,例如可以从年度报告中轻松获得的财务或非财务信息,在帮助投资者准备其投资组合方面非常有用。同时,宏观经济因素如通货膨胀、利率、汇率、GDP等是国家层面的效应,对收益和流动性有正或负的影响。通过使用83个样本和6年的时间周期的观察,我们推断通过互联网上的搜索引擎查询数据的信息检索,宏观经济因素和微观经济因素与印度尼西亚证券交易所的收益和流动性具有强烈而显著的相关性。

In the last three decades women has started to conquer the business world – there are more and more women entrepreneurs all over the world. However, their proportion among business leaders is still much lower than their proportion in the society. In the EU, policy-makers pay special attention to women’s businesses – especially in the SME sector. Doing business is by default a risky activity and failure or financial difficulty is almost a natural part of it. Learning from hard times and from the experiences of others may help entrepreneurs to create better strategies to survive. The aim of this paper is to highlight factors and reasons for financial distress, in order to provide ideas how to prevent these difficulties. The research conducts 329 entrepreneurs who suffered from financial distress previously in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Serbia via online survey. There are not any significant differences in perceiving financial difficulties regarding gender. However, there are slight differences among countries, mainly in entrepreneurial factors.
在过去的三十年里,女性开始征服商业世界——世界各地有越来越多的女性企业家。然而,他们在商界领袖中的比例仍然远远低于他们在社会中的比例。在欧盟,决策者特别关注妇女的企业,特别是在中小企业部门。经商本来就是一项有风险的活动,失败或财务困难几乎是其中很自然的一部分。从困难时期和其他人的经验中学习可能有助于企业家制定更好的生存策略。本文的目的是突出财务困境的因素和原因,以便为如何预防这些困难提供思路。该研究通过在线调查对捷克共和国、匈牙利和塞尔维亚的329名曾经遭受过财务困境的企业家进行了调查。在对经济困难的看法上,男女之间没有显著差异。然而,各国之间存在轻微差异,主要是在创业因素方面。

Increasing customers ́ requirements together with the current trend of digitization in the spirit of Industry 4.0 puts pressure on manufacturing companies to increase both the flexibility and the performance of their manufacturing and logistic processes. This work presents the challenges in the introduction of AGV (Automatically Guided Vehicles) technology in production lines through two case studies from two different countries, Portugal and the Czech Republic. Both companies are from the automotive industry. Case study research aims to explore and understand complex phenomena. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the limitations and necessary conditions that must be considered when implementing AGV technology for automating selected logistic processes. Based on the data collected through multiple observations, a three-phase methodology considering technological, organizational and safety aspects is proposed as the main output. The basic scheme also includes the proposal of some critical success factors and key performance indicators that should be monitored in order to evaluate the efficiency of implementing this technology in future projects.

The perennial use of resources due to excess consumption has endangered the environment and is a grave concern for all of us. The current rate of resource consumption may deprive the future generation from the resources that we have been enjoying. The conservation of these resources for long requires judicious and rational consumption practices from consumers. Therefore, responsible consumption is need of hour to further prevent environmental degradation and resources depletion. This paper aims to explore the antecedents of responsible consumption. A theoretical model was developed to explain and empirically verify the antecedents of responsible consumption. Four antecedents namely environmental education, perception of fair trade, taxation and neuroticism have been taken as exogenous variables. The model was tested and statistically validated using structural equation modeling relying on data collected through 300 respondents. The environmental education has emerged as the most important antecedent of responsible consumption followed by taxation, perception of fair trade and neuroticism respectively. The finding of the study would contribute towards enhancing responsible and judicious use of resources, thereby, reducing consumption and improving environment.
由于过度消费而长期使用资源已经危及环境,是我们大家严重关切的问题。目前的资源消耗速度可能会剥夺我们的后代从我们一直享受的资源。这些资源的长期保护需要消费者明智和理性的消费行为。因此,为了进一步防止环境恶化和资源枯竭,需要负责任地消费。本文旨在探讨负责任消费的前因。建立了一个理论模型来解释和实证验证负责任消费的前提。环境教育、公平贸易认知、税收和神经质这四个前因被作为外生变量。利用结构方程模型对300名被调查者的数据进行检验和统计验证。环境教育已成为负责任消费的最重要的先决条件,其次是税收、公平贸易观念和神经质。这项研究的结果将有助于加强负责任和明智地使用资源,从而减少消费和改善环境。

The finding of the study would contribute towards enhancing responsible and judicious use of resources, thereby, reducing consumption and improving environment.","PeriodicalId":44603,"journal":{"name":"Serbian Journal of Management","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71064329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this research was to investigate the relationship between transformational leadership style and organizational identity of faculty members in the state universities of West Azerbaijan Province, Iran. This research was a descriptive and correlational study. The statistical population of the research included all faculty members of these universities whose number was 765 at the time the research was conducted. Using Morgan table and stratified random sampling method, 256 persons were selected as the statistical sample of the research. 300 questionnaires were distributed among which 283 were returned, the final data analysis was conducted for 283 persons using SPSS and LISREL software. Standard multifactor leadership questionnaire (MLQ) and Cheney's organizational identity questionnaire (1982) were used to collect data regarding transformational leadership and organizational identity, respectively. The reliability of the questionnaires was calculated to be 0.96 and 0.85, respectively, using cronbach's alpha coefficient. Hypothesis and assumed relationships between variables in the proposed theoretical model were investigated using regression analysis and structural equation model. The results obtained from this research showed that there was a positive and meaningful relationship between transformational leadership style, its variables and organizational identity of faculty members in the state universities of West Azerbaijan Province, Iran (p<0.01, r=0.26). In addition, the statistical results obtained from this research indicated a positive and the direct effect of transformational leadership style on organizational identity of faculty members. The results also showed that, among different components of transformational leadership style, intellectual stimulation had the strongest effect on organizational identity of faculty members.
本研究旨在探讨伊朗西亚塞拜然省国立大学教职员的变革型领导风格与组织认同的关系。本研究为描述性和相关性研究。该研究的统计人口包括这些大学的所有教职员工,在进行研究时,他们的人数为765人。采用摩根表和分层随机抽样法,选取256人作为本研究的统计样本。共发放问卷300份,回收问卷283份,使用SPSS和LISREL软件对283人进行最终数据分析。采用标准多因素领导问卷(MLQ)和切尼组织认同问卷(1982)分别收集变革型领导和组织认同的数据。采用cronbach's alpha系数计算问卷信度分别为0.96和0.85。采用回归分析和结构方程模型对理论模型中各变量之间的假设关系和假设关系进行了研究。研究结果显示,伊朗西阿塞拜疆省国立大学教师的变革型领导风格及其变量与组织认同存在显著正相关关系(p<0.01, r=0.26)。此外,本研究的统计结果显示,变革型领导风格对教师的组织认同有正向和直接的影响。结果还显示,在变革型领导风格的不同组成部分中,智力刺激对教师组织认同的影响最大。
