Purpose This empirical study explores the relationship between total quality management (TQM) practices and organizational culture with purpose of identifying particular cultures that determine successful implementation TQM practices. Specifically, it tests two competing views on relationship; unitarist pluralist views. Design/methodology/approach The data was drawn from 194 organizations in Australia. research model employs Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award criteria as framework...
Despite differences in definitions, researchers understand that radical innovation within an organization is very different from incremental [13,17,21] and it critical to the long‐term success of firms. Unfortunately, research has also shown often difficult get support for projects large firms [14], where internal cultures pressures push efforts toward more low risk, immediate reward, projects. Interestingly, we know considerably less about effective management product development process...
Purpose This paper aims to examine the relationship between four cultural dimensions of competing values framework (CVF) (group, developmental, hierarchical, and rational cultures) types performance: product quality, process innovation, innovation. Theoretically, this represents contrasts among quadrants CVF in terms their respective outcomes, with quality innovation reflecting contrast control flexibility orientations, external internal orientations. Design/methodology/approach Data were...
Abstract Using data collected from a sample of 97 manufacturing plants, we examine how organizational culture is related to outcomes associated with advanced technology (AMT) implementation. Multiple item scales are developed and adapted wide range sources in the literature measure managers' perceptions culture, AMT benefits, implementation such as operational satisfaction, competitive success. Regression analysis used analyze relationships between these variables. The results suggest that...
Abstract The resource based view (RBV) theory of the firm widely acknowledges that capabilities are unique and important for achieving sustained competitive advantage. It has been argued in manufacturing literature facilities, technology policies to gain performance. However, little done examine from a perspective. Nor there an exploration how firms develop leverage new capabilities. also tends neglect complex often intertwined these within firms. This study addresses this gap by examining...
Abstract Many companies' operations strategies resemble roadmaps: they are very detailed, yet poorly communicated across the organization and inflexible in reacting to environmental changes. In contrast, an strategy which is clearly outlined, widely understood allows flexibility adapt changes environment more closely resembles a compass. For be effective it must not only appropriate (i.e., well‐fitted its competitive environment) but also throughout organization. This research examines...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between exploration and exploitation innovation, business performance in small medium enterprise (SME) service firms. Furthermore, also examines interaction two innovation orientations predicting performance, influence size effectiveness each them enhancing performance. Design/methodology/approach Using empirical data drawn from 180 managers Australian organisations, study compares effect ambidextrous on within these SMEs....
Abstract Hospitals are characterized by high levels of technical expertise as well patient interactions. In an attempt to improve their performance along these dimensions, hospitals making significant investments in health information technologies (HIT). However, the benefits from largely unknown. This study employs a portfolio approach HIT adoption using large longitudinal panel data for 3615 US 2007 2012. Insights Advanced Manufacturing Technology (AMT) and existing literature used...
Abstract This study explores and documents the processes by which large manufacturing firms develop produce radical products. Seven projects from five Fortune 500 were analyzed over a 3‐year period. Through use of these case studies, we found common themes emerging in way manage their new product development (NPD) process this turbulent environment. Our observations suggest that high levels uncertainty result several unique challenges developing project, especially areas managing functional...
Purpose As hospital costs continue to rise, increasing attention is being paid the way these organizations are and should be managed. This typically comes in form of focus on services, quality (often measured through mortality rates) length stay. Hospital management has a broad array choices at their disposal address challenges. service operations, hospitals present significant opportunity apply many tools techniques from field operations strategy this important industry. The objective paper...
Abstract Focus in hospitals has been heralded as the next frontier improving its efficiency and efficacy ( Herzlinger, 2004 ). However, there is scarce empirical work examining effects this setting. can take several different forms, ranging from standalone specialty centers to a hospital that chooses emphasize some operational way particular while still offering full range of services. Although facilities be found many locations, vast majority must follow latter route achieve focus. Current...
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Tofersen is approved for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) due to superoxide dismutase 1 mutations ( SOD1 ‐ALS). Here we report serious neurologic adverse events (AEs) that occurred in tofersen clinical trials people with ‐ALS. Methods Serious AEs myelitis, radiculitis, aseptic meningitis, and papilledema reported are described. were defined according International Conference Harmonization guidelines, diagnosed by investigators based on symptoms,...
This study examines the relative performance of small‐ versus medium‐sized service firms with respect to innovation orientations and their effect on business performance. We examine between two groups firms, exploring differences in orientation firms. also within each group, extent which focus differs group. The empirical data were drawn from 180 managers Australian small medium enterprises. findings suggest that while there is no difference orientations, significant exist firm's size...
Abstract Advanced processing technologies, managerial practices, and information systems have merged as vital elements of modern day production. It has been argued that these changes in practice technology yielded a strategic manufacturing environ‐ment the 1990s which is very different from existed 1970s 1980s.

The purpose of this paper is to examine empirically how operational performance and contextual factors contribute differences in overall patient care costs across different hospitals.Administrative data are employed from a sample hospitals New York State construct measures factors, performance, cost per patient. Operational variables adjusted account for case mix hospitals. Hierarchical regression used analyze the effects on performance.Increased length stay, increased volume, educational...
The purpose of this special issue is to demonstrate how configuration research methods can be applied a wide range Operations Management topics. As quick review, models are "multidimensional profiles used describe organizational, strategy, or process types" (Bozarth and McDermott, 1998, p. 427). Included under the banner typologies, which ideal types (e.g. Miles Snow, 1978; Hill, 1994) taxonomies, classify existing organizational phenomena into distinct categories Miller Roth, 1994). Many OM...
Because of the substantial technical, market, organizational and resource uncertainties associated with radical innovation projects, project team members managers who sit on decision-making boards frequently view traditional allocation processes as ineffective. Yet, acquisition effort necessitated by inefficient or ineffective funding mechanisms requires time energy from team, thereby diminishing capacity to focus resolving technical market uncertainties. Firms recognizing this difficulty...
Purpose The present study aims to empirically explore the relationships between selected operations strategies and associated activities. Specifically, for service firms targeting specific competitive priorities, it examines extent which there are significant differences in these priorities activities among high‐ versus low‐performing firms. Design/methodology/approach empirical data this were drawn from 190 managers of Australian organisations whose primary responsibilities related daily...
