Exploring an Extension to the Foresight Measure: A Mixed-Mode Study of Individual Managerial Employees

TL;DR: This paper uses a five-stage mixed-mode process to propose an extended foresight measure and has implications for research on the individual aspect of microfoundations of capability building, organizational measures development, and foresight literature.
Abstract: Foresight is the ability to visualize alternate futures and shape the direction of future events. Generally considered as an organizational capability, foresight can be the basis of sustained competitive advantage, and needs to be fostered by enabling employees to acquire, assimilate, and analyze information with a future orientation. However, research on what constitutes foresight at the employee (i.e., individual) level is sparse. This paper fills this gap by using a five-stage mixed-mode process to propose an extended foresight measure. This paper has implications for research on the individual aspect of microfoundations of capability building, organizational measures development, and foresight literature.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined how mother and child hospital (RSIA) Type C performance in East Java with a population of 67 owners is affected by organizational competency, external networking, entrepreneurism, competitive advantage, and corporate social responsibility (CSR).
Abstract: This study aims to examine how Mother and Child Hospital (RSIA) Type C performance in East Java with a population of 67 owners is affected by organizational competency, external networking, entrepreneurism, competitive advantage, and corporate social responsibility (CSR). The results of the eight hypotheses using partial least squares (PLS) are as follows: 1) Organizational ability has a big and favorable impact on business performance. The hypothesis has been accepted. 2) The external network has a small but positive impact on company performance. 3) Entrepreneurial mindset has a favorable and significant impact on business performance. The hypothesis has been accepted. 4) Competitive Advantage is influenced by organizational capability in a favorable and meaningful way. The hypothesis has been accepted. 5) External networking contributes to competitive advantage in a positive and important way. The hypothesis has been accepted. 6) Entrepreneurial orientation affects competitive advantage in a favorable and important way. The hypothesis has been accepted. 7) Competitive advantage has a major and favorable impact on business performance. The hypothesis has been accepted. 8) Competitive advantage has little effect on Corporate Performance when CSR is regulated. The hypothesis was disproved.

TL;DR: In this paper , a systematic literature review was conducted on research papers published between 2000 and 2022 using a hybrid methodology that included bibliometric and content analysis, and the authors suggested that this line of research can be divided into three stages.
Abstract: PurposeMicrofoundations have become an effective approach for capability scholars to explore the heterogeneity of organizational results. Since the early pioneering work of scholars such as Felin and Foss, the microfoundations of strategic organization had not been extensively studied until 2010. The theoretical and empirical literature associated with the microfoundations of dynamic capabilities has developed rapidly. However, the diversity and fragmentation of micro-elements lead to a lack of a relatively consistent understanding of microfoundations, the study purpose is to aggregate the associated scattered terminology into a cohesive discussion.Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review was conducted on research papers published between 2000 and 2022 using a hybrid methodology that included bibliometric and content analysis.FindingsThe authors suggest that this line of research can be divided into three stages. The study further develop a framework delineating the main components and mechanism involved in the microfoundations of dynamic capabilities, which in turn help us distill research gaps and opportunities for future work.Originality/valueThe authors construct a framework that can serve as a coherent research platform for further knowledge development. In the framework, the authors highlight that the research of group constructs, culture and leadership, data-driven topics are valuable for our understanding of the microfoundations of dynamics capabilities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored influences on individual employee perceptions of the visibility, validity, and procedural and distributive justice of performance appraisal in subsidiaries of multinational corporations, and at what levels these influences reside.
Abstract: Against the background of Bowen and Ostroff's (2004) human resource management (HRM) process theorization, this study explores influences on individual employee perceptions of the visibility, validity, and procedural and distributive justice of performance appraisal in subsidiaries of multinational corporations, and at what levels these influences reside. The study adopts an embedded, multiple-case design with interview data from 33 managers and professionals in six subsidiaries of three corporations. The findings show that perceptions of the performance appraisal process are driven by a number of influences pertaining to the unit, relationship, and individual levels. Further, the study highlights differences and similarities of influences across four performance appraisal process features, and identifies overlaps and inter-linkages between the process features suggested by Bowen and Ostroff (2004). For practitioners, the value of our study lies in the identification of steps that can be taken to increase the likelihood that HRM practices are perceived positively and as intended by the organization. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

TL;DR: The theory-based view of strategy and markets was proposed in this article, where the authors argue that a firm's strategy represents a set of contrarian beliefs and a theory about what problems to solve, and how to organize and govern the overall process of value creation.
Abstract: This paper outlines the theory-based view of strategy and markets. We argue that novel or “great” strategies come from theories. Entrepreneurs and managers originate theories and hypotheses about which activities they should engage in, which assets they might buy, and how they will create value. A firm’s strategy, then, represents a set of contrarian beliefs and a theory—a unique, firm-specific point of view—about what problems to solve, and how to organize and govern the overall process of value creation. We outline the cognitive and perceptual, organizational, and economic foundations of the theory-based view of strategy. We also discuss the essential attributes needed for a firm-level theory of strategy. Throughout the paper we offer informal examples of our argument, by briefly discussing the strategies of companies like Apple, Uber, Disney, Wal-Mart, and Airbnb. The theory-based view of strategy and markets also offers important insights for how firms govern themselves (including ownership, boards, a...
