This chapter evaluates the operational performance of International Tourist Hotels in Taiwan, and explores the critical success factors that contribute to good performance. This research initially adopted data envelopment analysis (DEA) to measure the relative operational efficiency of 57 international tourist hotels in Taiwan. However, the DEA approach can only determine relative operational efficiency but does not identify the factors that give rise to inefficiency or lead to efficiency. Furthermore, DEA only calls attention to those hotels in which efficiency and inefficiency exist, but cannot provide suggestions on how to improve operational efficiency. A qualitative approach is a good way to address this limitation of DEA. Thus, after using DEA to evaluate hotel’s operational efficiency, this research used a qualitative approach to further explore the critical success factors that contribute to hotels having good performance in Taiwan. Through determination of these factors, this research provides hotel managers with a list of advice and recommendations to develop effective strategies to meet a highly competitive environment.

This study is motivated by the high failure rate of enterprise resource planning (ERP). An analysis is conducted of the numerous studies that have attempted to explore factors that may lead to success in ERP. A descriptive, quantitative, and qualitative approach was used to examine the critical success factors (CSFs) and their effect on emerging ERP success in public and large private organizations in Jordan. The overall findings of this study indicate that the CSFs for ERP in the private sector are totally different from those in the public sector and that various stakeholders have different opinions regarding these factors.

During the age of globalization, change has become a general phenomenon of business environment. Managements are compelled to adapt with the change to survive. Reengineering concept rises to adapt with the changes in terms of business process. However, critics raised questions as a number of business process reengineering initiatives failed and such failures have raised a doubt about the fad of reengineering. As a result, current researches are tempted to deal with the object orientation to find out the optimum way of successful implantation of re-engineering. This paper deals with the determination of critical success factors (CSFs) of re-engineering in the production process of the small and medium sized (SMEs) manufacturing enterprises of a developing country, Bangladesh. Determinants have been identified empirically through the survey conducted in the SMEs sector of Bangladesh.

Abstract : Discussion about the strategy has become an interesting topic to be discussed. Practitioners and academics mutually support the development of strategic management. SWOT analysis is an analytical tool most widely used amongst other analytical tools.The initial stages should researchers do is set an important success factor, because the key success factors is a prerequisite to the formulation of strategic alternatives. However in the study of the meta-analysis found a fact that the existing strategy formulation has the weakness of the methodology. Among the weakness is the low level of reliability and validity of the critical success factors (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) that are set. This article proposed a solution in the form of formulation procedures critical success factors that can be replicated by other researchers as well as ease of corrective action if found errors in the determination of critical success factors. Keywords: Strategy, Critical Success Factors, Methodological, SWOT
