Purpose Creativity itself does not necessarily lead to idea implementation. The purpose of this paper is to deeply understand the impact of the individual culture value orientation on employees’ motivation on whether they want to push creative ideas into implementation. Design/methodology/approach In this study, drawing on socially desirable responding (SDR) theory, the author reasons that individual value on power distance and superficial harmony and that these two factors interact to influence employees transform their creativity into implementation. The author argues that prevalence of the failure where creativity cannot be transformed into implementation results from the lack of understanding for two elusive individual culture value orientations: individual superficial harmony orientations (ISHO) and individual power distance orientations (IPDO). Data from 66 middle managers and 301 members of five high-tech firms provide a considerable support for the hypothesized model. Findings The results showed that individuals were able to improve the possibility of putting their creative ideas into practice when they are both lower in IPDO and ISHO. Originality/value Such findings help the author to understand how individual cultural value orientation complements each other to generate joint impact on the relationship between their creative ideas to idea implementation.

Abstract Product development is experiencing a paradigm shift under the impact of highly segmented and rapidly evolving markets. The intention to offer successful products in such turbulent conditions forces companies to provide value comprehensively but rapidly. These attempts conceal a high risk of rising product complexities and development efforts. For this reason, the aim of design should be to maintain or improve value contribution according to customer and market demands with fast response time while reducing internal product disruption and development efforts. A proactive planning of continuous value contribution by introducing new product features, while considering the complexity of product structures and corresponding development efforts, is established in the field of release planning. Here, systematic ways are proposed to support the identification and timing of product features to provide value for customers and markets as well as the consideration and planning of according efforts for their realization. However, the literature highlights a need for more consistent value orientation in release planning. For this reason, this contribution aims to present an outline and further steps for consistent value orientation in release planning in the context of systems engineering. Accordingly, this contribution first discusses the significance of consistent value orientation during release planning activities. On this basis, requirements for consistent value orientation in release planning are presented and the respective current state of existing concepts are discussed. Ultimately, a framework towards consistent value orientation in release planning is presented with a concluding outlook for further research.

In the conditions of accelerated scientific and technological progress and social development, products can lose consumer value and, therefore, be ousted from the consumer market by other goods with a higher consumer value. In this regard, the importance of predicting product life cycles and their effectiveness is increasing. The aim of the article is to study the issue of forecasting the efficiency of electrical products taking into account the stages of their life cycle by constructing a multifactor regression model. The method of correlation-regression analysis was used to build a forecast model and determine the most influential factors for a particular motor, which determined the relationship between the comprehensive indicator and individual indicators of product efficiency. Thus, the article investigated the issue of forecasting the efficiency of electrical products taking into account the stages of their life cycle. On the example of the electric motor AIR 80 PJSC «Kharkiv Electrotechnical Plant «Ukrelectromash»» a multifactor regression model for the stage of decline is built, which includes the most important indicators of the impact on the comprehensive indicator of efficiency and allows to predict its dynamics.

<p><em>The problem of this research was to identify the impact of consumer value and perspective of value to intention to buy through attitude, which is addressed to organic personal care product. </em></p><p><em>The objective of this research was to analyze the effect of consumer value and perspective of value to intention to buy through attitude in organic personal care product. </em></p><p><em>The methodology of this research was quantitative approach. Data were collected by 140 users of skin and hair care’s users at mall in Jakarta. The variable factors that used on this research are consumer value (health consciousness, environmental consciousness and appearance consciousness), perspective of value, attitude and intention to buy. Data analysis used Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). </em></p><p><em>Finding and contribution in this research was environmental consciousness, appearance consciousness, and perspective of value have positive effect on attitude; and attitude has positive effect on intention to buy organic personal care products. </em></p><p><em>Research limitation/implication in this research was the data only being collected in Jakarta. These findings here provide suggestion in order to increase intention to buy organic personal care, a product owner need to focus on ecological beauty, values and informational knowledge of organic benefit in their communication campaign. </em></p>

The paper investigates the impact of some features of the 90s in Germany: shareholder-value orientation and changes in the distribution of share capital, booming asset prices, profit-sharing schemes including option plans, increased capital funded old-age provisions. Two propositions are discussed and, finally, denied: Due to these trends there might emerge a tendency towards a more equal distribution of capital stocks, and a relevant portion of employees might turn out as shareholders with considerable non-wage income. However, despite severe shortcomings in the data base a wave of further wealth concentration can be observed, and the workers´ share in capital assets has remained insignificant, apart from a small but increasing stratum of middle and high income employees.

O'Reilly et al. (1991) defines value congruence as the match between the organization's culture and individual's values. The study is based on the same definition. It aims at determining the importance of rewards and resources for staff-members having different continuum of work values, association of work value congruence with organizational facilities, and assessing the impact of interpersonal interactional opportunity on attitudinal responses of employees. Significance of a particular aspect of job and organizational arrangements are correlated; further, significance of difference in the correlation coefficient is measured. The study reveals significant effect of work-value orientation on response to autonomy, organizational facilities, and organizational arrangements in terms of job satisfaction, citizenship and retaliatory behavior, intrinsic motivation, and job-involvement in employees. The chapter suggests that appropriate match between dominant values in individual employees and corresponding organizational arrangements is one of the significant antecedents of job satisfaction and involvement in the employees.
