Research on total quality management (TQM) has mainly focused the consequences of TQM such as firm performance and drivers top team support, while conditions that moderate relationship between have seldom been considered. Thus, this paper attempts to investigate in which effects are either intensified or weakened, with a sample set 565 Korean manufacturing firms. This adopts strategic perspective considers source competitive advantages. The positive effect could be measured by sales revenue;...

Purpose – Mobile social network games (mSNGs) are gaining increasing popularity recently. Many of the marketed using brand pages on services including Facebook. The purpose this paper is to identify characteristics posts that affect reaction users. Design/methodology/approach Four independent variables were tested for their influence user reaction: informativeness, structure, call action, and type reward.

Taking a behavioral perspective on high‐performance work systems ( HPWS ), we examine the role that organizational trust plays as key psychological mechanism linking and firm capabilities (customer response capability internal process capability). We further draw configuration theory explore how fit between culture can be mutually reinforcing, leading to superior capabilities. Based multisource data collected from 2094 employees in 500 companies South Korea, results show are positively...

This study aims to expand our understanding of environmental performance by adopting exploration and exploitation concepts, which are key types firm innovation. We reveal as two important antecedents proactive reactive performance. also identify the conditions under distinct effects these innovation moderated. Using a sample 2060 firm-year observations over 12-year period in various industries, we find that positively affects performance, whereas influences Furthermore, positive effect on...

For decades quality management has been developed based on the statistical techniques and improvement activities. This was achieved through better understanding of process control economic cost design, which plays an important role in The integration design successfully reduced output variability improved efficiency. In this paper, a review recent works control, their applications are provided. Specifically, we summarise related topics regarding integrated between techniques, explaining...

This study aimed to investigate the effects of employee benefits on productivity. There are conflicting views, positive and negative, with regard effect Overall, we found that have a impact productivity through embodied (direct effect). Specifically, according workplace panel survey in Korea conducted between 2005 2009, an increase one unit leads by about 7.9%. In addition, such is stronger manufacturing industry than non-manufacturing industry. Although there no difference large firms small...

We investigate how a firm's involvement in exploration and exploitation activities affects its survival chances. predict that while the main effect of on organizational longevity is beneficial, extent these benefits will significantly vary across different types. Firms are structurally inertial firms have resources can be used as buffer difficult times derive greater from than flexible lack slack buffer. The event history analysis disbanding rates all participated worldwide optical library...

The purpose of this study was to advance our understanding corporate environmental performance by linking its antecedents and consequences. This examined how collaboration with research organizations, as a proactive strategic decision, influences the firms, which in turn leads innovation performance. Using data collected from 597 Korean firms representing cross-section industries, we found that firm’s organizations positively affected performance, influenced Furthermore, results indicated...

The feature our allowed us to address possible heterogeneity in explicitly incorporate link A series empirical analyses reveal that there is significant fuel consumption financial constraints commitment determine sensitivities price gasoline. substantive knowledge provided about decisions concerning...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the contrasting moderating effect a firm’s exploration on relationship between two types long-term incentives (stock options/stock ownership) for chief executive officers and performance. Even though are designed improve performance, degrees impact performance differ. Based behavioral agency theory, study theoretically empirically examines role above relationship. Design/methodology/approach This used three archival sources obtain data...

Purpose Using panel data on gasoline and grocery transactions in Korea, the purpose of this paper is to empirically explore effect a retail chain store’s establishment on-site fuel sales. The empirical analyses present strong evidence that sale had statistically economically significant store traffic revenue short run. However, did not remain longer To explain dramatic decrease sale, authors consider enhanced competition local industry examine cross-sectional price variations at station...

Using a sample of 450 Korean firms, this study investigates the moderating effects collective pay-for-performance (PFP) on relationship between total quality management (TQM) and firm performance. Specifically, we focus differential three forms PFP (team incentives, profit sharing, stock ownership) TQM-labour productivity relationship, based premise that each form has different sets characteristics. Our results provide evidence team incentives have negative effect, while sharing ownership...

Purpose: This research examines the effects of collaboration with external firms on innovation performance, a specific focus mediating influence business process innovation. The objective is to explore how collaborations contribute improving performance by facilitating internal innovations, enabling effectively convert knowledge into practical results. Design/methodology/approach: Utilizing data from Korean Innovation Survey (KIS), this utilizes lo-gistic regression analysis test hypotheses...

Environmental sustainability can require extensive investment from suppliers as well firms.Previous studies on this topic focused the direct relationship between supplier collaboration and environmental performance, yet these did not investigate mechanism behind relationship.Our study examines mediating role of innovation performance.We tested model using a sample 597 Korean firms found that positively mediated effect with through measurements strategic, operational, product development...

Much evidence has been presented on the critical factors for total quality management (TQM) and its effect firm performance. Studies aiming to understand TQM have examined moderators relationship between Among these moderators, cooperation among teams departments highlighted but rarely empirically tested. Thus, paper investigates conditions under which of is intensified using a sample 565 firms in Korea. We confirmed that positively associated with In addition, cooperative internal...

활용과 탐색을 측정하는 방법은 특허 기반의 방법, 설문 언론 방법 세 가지로 나뉜다. 다양한 방법론이 나오게 된 이유는 탐색의 정의에 대한 합의가 아직 이루어지지 않았기 때문이다. 탐색 활동은 기업이 장기적으로 행하기 때문에 방법이 가장 적절하며, 이 논문에서는 세계 광디스크 라이브러리 장치 산업의 데이터를 활용하여 유효하고, 신뢰성 있는 방법에 의해 어떻게 것인지를 보여주고자 한다. Measures of exploration and exploitation fall into three categories, patent-based measures, survey-based press-based measures. Such variety stems from the lack consensus on definitions exploitation. Given a dynamic nature exploitation, I suggested how to improve existing...

본 논문에서는 기업이 아트 콜라보레이션을 진행할 때에 있어서 협력 작가의 국적 선택에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대해 연구하였다. 국내에 보도된 2005-2013년에 발생한 137개의 콜라보레이션 사례를 바탕으로 분석한 결과 국내 기업은 일반적으로 동일한 국적인 작가와의 선호하며, 그 중 내구재 제품에 대한 콜라보레이션은 외국 비율이 유의하게 높은 것을 발견하였다. 즉 내구재일 경우 제품의 명성이 중요해지기 때문에 협업 과정의 어려움에도 불구하고, 통상적으로 명성을 가질 확률이 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. We investigated what target (a nationality of an artist) firms select when they are engaged in art collaboration. identified 137 cases collaboration between 2005 and 2013 through the analysis news contents we found...

탐색은 도전적인 업무 환경을 제공하지만, 높은 수준의 복잡성과 모호성을 동시에 제공한다. 그에 반해, 활용은 덜 제공하며, 낮은 이러한 두 활동의 특성을 고려해 보면, 가지 활동을 프로젝트 매니저들에게 할당하는 것은 가장 좋은 작업 제공한다고 볼 수 있다. 168명의 매니저들의 데이터를 바탕으로 로짓 회귀분석을 통해 가설을 검증한 결과 활용 경험이 있는 매니저들은 프로젝트에서 성과를 보였고, 활용과 탐색 프로젝트의 종류에 관계없이 보이는 것으로 나타났다. The assignment of exploration on individuals provides challenging work environments, while it generates high levels complexity. On the other hand, exploitation offers less makes low Give characteristics and exploitation, I argue that...
