The business model construct as a unifying unit of analysis, that captures the value
creation arising from multiple sources has been proposed by several scholars as a
fruitful base for research but the question how to change business models in order
to achieve that value has not been answered. It is proposed, that the organizations
business model is the essential logic for combining resources and capabilities for
consistently achieving its principle objectives and to perform the core activities
of the organization. Furthermore it is proposed, that it is this configuration of
resources and capabilities, which enable a firm to deliver unique value and consequently
confer a competitive advantage. The dynamic reconfiguration and integration of resources
and capabilities is referred to as a business model change. This paper is focused
on offering provable propositions on the modification of capabilities concerning
their influence for a business model change, and follows the two main assumptions
of entrepreurship research: entrepreneurship is residing in Individuals versus entrepreneurship
is enabled by a specific context.

This paper concerns a certain way of approaching and analysing the practice of management
in terms of performance and theatrical events. It discusses a theatrical mode of
communication, and aims at exploring the dividing line between public/private within
managerial practices and procedures. A manager presents him or her self in public.
Here some concepts and insights are brought from the discipline of theatre studies,
and analogously, management is regarded as performative acts and as managerial styles
are becoming expressed through series of actions. The aim of the paper is first and
foremost to discuss a methodological framework for applying theatre studies to management
research (for example, costume design, lighting effects, dramaturgy of events), and
to discuss some illustrating examples.

This paper discusses the different incentives of managers versus firm owners to
invest in innovative activities. Economic theory proposes different incentives in
owner-led firms and manager-controlled firms. In the first place, the impact of risk
on the incentive to invest in R&D are compared for the capital-led and the managerial
firm. On the one hand, the risk of dismissal for the manager implies less innovative
investment than in the traditional capital-led firm. On the other hand, innovative
activity will most likely increase the growth rate and therefore the size of a
firm. This is a positive stimulus for R&D in the managerial firm.

Current theories of organizational learning tend to concentrate on the mental states
of organization members. Knowledge management is a good example in case. In this
article a number of objections are raised against this emphasis on mental variables,
elaborated in a critical analysis of the concept of knowledge management. As an alternative,
a behavioral theory of organizational learning is presented, based on the work of
Bateson, Weick and Skinner. Central concepts in this theory are proto-learning and
deutero-learning, which are outlined in general terms and applied to organization
and management.

The aim of this study was to develop a methodology for companies operating in supplier
networks that need improving and also for new ventures starting in the business that
could find the
competitive advantage of networking. This paper describes methods for developing
a supplier
network with the help of the strategic supply chain positioning matrix combined with
the
benchmarking process. The methodology is applicable both to mature existing companies
and new
ventures. In the implementation phase it is also possible to consider the view of
several different
stakeholders. The empirical results illustrate the applicability of the methodology
in mature
companies.

Performance appraisal and managing performance are they one and the same or
fundamentally different? The first suggests a reactive stance while the second
indicates proactivity. Although effective performance management has been touted
as
the key lever for change that may boost individual and team accomplishment in
organisations, the results will be limited if it is a case of old wine in new bottles.
Specifically, the preliminary results of two case studies indicate that performance
management systems operate in the same way as old performance appraisals. Some
interviewees perceived that knowing how to play the corporate game was as
important as performing well. Those who play the game well, were perceived as
advancing in the organisation, while those who performed but did not play the game
were left confused about their performance, and subsequently, their future. Initial
data analysis suggests that if managers want to introduce more innovative ways of
managing performance, the solution could be in the level and frequency of informal
feedback occurring between managers and employees.

This paper proposes the assessment of sustained superior performance by means of
two measures called Static Performance and Dynamic Performance. The first evaluates
the attained superior performance, and the second gauges its sustainability over
time. This proposal builds primarily on the fact that, under the strategic management
perspective, a firm's prevalent objective is the pursuit of sustained superior performance.
Three basic conceptual dimensions stem from this objective: relativity, sign dependence,
and dynamism. They serve as the foundation to the two performance measures presented.
In contrast to the measures and methods in extant literature, our proposal provides:
(i) a dynamic approach by considering the progress or regress in performance over
time; and (ii) a cardinal measurement of performance differences and its changes
over time. The paper also develops an axiomatic framework that any measure of strategic
performance should comply to be theoretically and managerially sound. Finally, an
empirical application to the Spanish banking sector during 1987-1999 is used to illustrate
the measures.

Archival interviews with 76 popular musicians were content-analyzed for statements
about motivation, individuation and attributions of success and failure. Creativity
was judged separately by consensual ratings from experts. Results show that although
no differences were found in expressions
of intrinsic motivation, creative musicians were less motivated to receive extrinsic
rewards than
uncreative musicians. Creative musicians were also more likely to individuate their
products from the
products of their peers, but were no more likely to personally individuate themselves.
Finally, creative musicians were more likely to display positive illusion tendencies,
attributing successes internally and failures to external causes.

This book gets to the root of how and why multinational firms differ in the cross-border
creation, transfer and diffusion of technology, and provides fresh evidence on the
effects that these differences have on productivity and innovation in the economic
systems in which they are active.
Davide Castellani and Antonello Zanfei consider multinationals as heterogeneous institutions that combine internal networks of subsidiaries with external networks of collaborative linkages, to bridge different economic and innovation systems. They examine heterogeneity in productivity and innovative behavior between multinational and national firms, as well as across and within multinationals. The authors argue that not every foreign firm is a good source of externality, and not every domestic firm is equally well placed to benefit from multinationals. It is shown that spillovers from multinationals differ according to the technological profiles, embeddedness and linkage creation of both foreign and domestic firms active in local markets. The book supports this view with empirical evidence based on illustrative case studies, and on econometric analysis using extensive firm-level datasets on multinational activities, innovation and economic performances
