What has been neglected so far is its striking relevance for electronic services. Whereas consumers expectations about information goods are often vague and transient, their requirements are pronounced and specific when it comes to the functional and non-functional characteristics of electronic services. Moreover, modular services can be combined and configured into service mashups that have the potential to meet complex consumer requirements. In this vein, the long tail phenomenon can be leveraged into a new dimension – the long valley, where every service exerts positive network externalities on the remaining services, thereby spurring an increase in supply and demand. The combinatorics of constructible service mashups are enabled by universally accessible service orchestration platforms known as Service Value Networks (SVNs). This article shall not only pave the way for a rising research area on a new business trend, but will also help business actors to harness the opportunities opened up by SVNs.","PeriodicalId":223617,"journal":{"name":"Strategy Models for Firm Performance Enhancement eJournal","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122188714","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}

This research has correlated the ideal aspects of working with these issues effectively, and subsequently correlated to the outcome of this comparison (mismatch) with the overall job satisfaction. The survey showed frustration in the expectations of workers that have an impact on satisfaction, particularly as regards their ability to perform work consistent with their skills possessed, being informed of what happens in the company and the opportunity to have an estimated head.","PeriodicalId":223617,"journal":{"name":"Strategy Models for Firm Performance Enhancement eJournal","volume":"210 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133070748","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}

To investigate whether this procedure was effective in the Brazilian capital market, we analyzed data on Brazilian public companies between 1997 and 2007. We applied the abnormal working capital accruals (AWCA) method to analyze the effects on earnings management of changing the auditor, focusing on the reason for the change (obligatory or spontaneous), classification of the auditing firm among the Big Four (PwC, DTT, E&Y and KPMG) and length of the relationship with the audited company. The findings indicate there is no significant effect on earnings management of changing the auditing firm. A factor in this respect may be that all of the Big Four have internal policies to rotate the staff assigned to specific audited companies.","PeriodicalId":223617,"journal":{"name":"Strategy Models for Firm Performance Enhancement eJournal","volume":"211 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116398821","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}

Campbell","doi":"10.1002/SMJ.893","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/SMJ.893","url":null,"abstract":"Foundational RBV work suggests that firms possess capabilities that represent strengths and others that represent weaknesses. In contrast, contemporary research has examined capability strengths while largely ignoring weaknesses. Addressing this oversight, we examine the direct and integrated effects of sets of capability strengths and capability weaknesses on competitive advantage and its empirical correlate — relative performance. Additionally, we explore how environmental and firm-specific factors influence change in these drivers of competitive advantage over time. Results suggest that weakness sets have a negative effect on relative performance, while strength sets have an increasingly positive effect. The integrative effects of strength and weakness sets affect relative performance in a complex manner. For example, while high strength/low weakness firms perform at high levels, firms integrating high strength with high weakness per- form well, but experience considerably more variance in their realized outcomes. Lastly, we find that the strength and weakness sets change significantly over time in markets where competition is more intense, thereby undermining the durability of competitive advantage. Our theory and results indicate that achieving temporary advantage is more difficult than previously thought and that the erosion of advantage occurs routinely as a result of dynamic and interactive rivalry.","PeriodicalId":223617,"journal":{"name":"Strategy Models for Firm Performance Enhancement eJournal","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128124349","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}

Krishnamurthy","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.1577469","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.1577469","url":null,"abstract":"The five-force model of competition was first introduced by Porter in 1980 in his book on Competitive Strategy. For 30 years since the concept was first outlined, the model has been considered an important tool in understanding industry structures and analyzing industry attractiveness. In a recent video interview, Porter has emphasized his faith in the model and has provided examples from the airline and steel industries to argue that the model is universal. The model is an integral part of books on management in general and on strategy in particular. Thus, the five-force model can be seen as a torch-bearer of robust theory. The question however arises as to whether the model is equally applicable in all situations. Should managers use this as the ultimate tool in formulating strategy? To understand the practical implications, the author has studied a number of industries from an emerging economy, India. For many years, India has shown a robust growth of 9% per year and even in the midst of a global recession, has managed a decent growth of about 6%. Against this scenario, an attempt has been made to test the efficacy of the five-force model on a variety of industries. This is a work-in-progress and due to limitations on length, the results from one industry are presented in this paper. The initial results seem to indicate that managers need to exercise caution while using the model. Particularly in the context of emerging economies, the results obtained so far seem to suggest that a re-thinking of the model may be necessary. This interesting but paradoxical intersection of strategy theory and strategy practice is the focus of this paper. Obviously, a lot more needs to be done in terms of gathering data not only from the Indian context but also from other economies notably China, Korea, Brazil, Russia, and the ASEAN countries before more forceful conclusions can be drawn. The author’s hope is that the findings would stimulate objective discussion on the scope of interpreting theoretical frameworks in practical situations.","PeriodicalId":223617,"journal":{"name":"Strategy Models for Firm Performance Enhancement eJournal","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125358297","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}
