And Training

Some scholars have been so blunt as to claim that information technology is the answer to all the problems facing supply chain managers. We posit that, although information technology integration is necessary for a supply chain to succeed, people are also crucial. We further propose that managers must take into consideration organizational culture and the education and training of employees to facilitate supply chain collaboration and success. We interviewed 51 senior-level supply chain managers across five channel positions. Findings support our position that management of people is crucial to supply chain integration, and that integration is improved through an accommodating organizational culture and training and educational programs. Also from our findings, we supply a prescription for building the supply chain cross-functional manager.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of inventory management on the performance of state corporations in Kenya with an aim of making recommendations.Methodology: The study employed a descriptive research design. The researcher preferred this method because it allows an in-depth study of the subject. Data was collected using self-administered questionnaires. The study employed stratified random sampling technique in coming up with a sample size. Pilot study was carried out to establish the validity and reliability of the research instruments. The instruments were designed appropriately according to the study objectives. The data collected was analyzed by use of descriptive and inferential statistics. The study used multiple regression and correlation analysis to show the relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variables. The data generated was keyed in and analyzed by use of Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24 to generate information which was presented using charts, frequencies and percentagesResults and conclusion: The regression equation above has established that taking all factors into account (inventory categorization, inventory control techniques, information technology integration and demand and supply forecasting) constant at zero, performance of state corporations in Kenya will be an index of 0.817.The findings presented also shows that taking all other independent variables at zero, a unit increase in inventory categorization will lead to a 0.537 increase in performance of state corporations in Kenya. The P-value was 0.000 which is less 0.05 and thus the relationship was significant. The study also found that a unit increase in inventory control techniques will lead to a 0.097 increase in performance of state corporations in Kenya. The P-value was 0.002 and thus the relationship was significant. In addition, the study found that a unit increase in information technology integration will lead to a 0.067 increase in the performance of state corporations in Kenya. The P-value was 0.000 and thus the relationship was significant. Lastly, the study found that a unit increase in demand and supply forecasting will lead to a 0.08 increase in the performance of state corporations in Kenya. The P-value was 0.001 and hence the relationship was significant since the p-value was lower than 0.05. The findings of the study show that, inventory categorization contributed most to the performance of state corporations in Kenya. The findings of the study indicated that; safety stock management, inventory control techniques, information technology integration and demand and supply forecasting have a positive relationship with performance of state corporations.Unique contribution to theory, policy and practice: Finally, the study recommended that public institutions should embrace inventory optimization practices so as to improve their performance and further researches should to be carried out in other public entities to find out if the same results can be obtained.

Companies engage in many business relationships; however, the number is decreasing constantly, so existing relationships are increasingly valuable. The purpose of this chapter is to highlight how inter-organizational relationships can be seen as a source of competitive advantage and how, in order to survive in a hyper-competitive landscape, key relationships are integrated with new information technology solutions, such as ERP. This chapter focuses on the changes brought about by technology integration in the context of the steel industry with the help of a longitudinal case study. The chapter sheds some light on factors affecting the changes occurring in business relationships and illustrates how those alterations can be managed. It seems that information technology integration within a business relationship is a complex process that depends on characteristics of the adopted technology as well as the relationship. Subsequently, implications are discussed together with suggestions for future research. Lastly, the limitations are briefly stated.

Teaching Innovation

Adoption of evidence based instructional practices is not widespread in American institutions of higher education. This is due in part to reforms focusing on individual teaching practices rather than conditions for system reform. Since measurement of organizational conditions is critical for widespread change, we developed and validated the Survey of Climate for Instructional Improvement (SCII). SCII has 30 Likert-scale statements, 5 supplementary questions, and 9 demographic items. It is designed to measure five aspects of organizational climate in postsecondary settings: leadership, collegiality, resources, respect for teaching, and organizational support. The goal of this paper is to describe (a) our development process, (b) steps in validation, and (c) patterns in the data from 917 instructors at six institutions of higher education in the United States. Our results indicate that the instrument is reliable and has the potential to differentiate among institutions, disciplines, departments, and other demographic variables. Although the survey is interdisciplinary, we highlight notable organizational climate differences between STEM and non-STEM disciplines. We also identify organizational climate differences for cis-gender women and graduate student instructors, highlighting unique professional support needs for these groups. We expect our findings and the instrument to be useful for campus change leaders, faculty developers, higher education researchers, and discipline-based education researchers.

Management is what makes e-government successful by coordinating the use of corporate resources, managing relationships, and empowering strategic alliances. However, current e-government methodologies and models used are only tailored to specific requirements. This restrains the ability to compare cases and draw valuable conclusions as to how to improve e-government and its performance measurements. Therefore, the authors are attempting to address the issues faced by surveying the models consisting of effective practices in e-government and Information Technology integration management and support. The study provides in depth overview of the current status of e-government models and links with emerging Information Technology.
