A Comparative Analysis of Employee Relation Practices Implemented in Information Technology Companies & Automobile Companies in Pune

Purpose The purpose of this study is to empirically examine knowledge management (KM) practices as a moderator in the relationship between organizational culture and performance. The effect of four types of organizational culture on organizational performance was studied. In addition to direct effects, most importantly, KM practices as a moderator in strengthening the culture-performance relationship were empirically examined. Design/methodology/approach A carefully crafted survey instrument was distributed and data was collected from 1,255 respondents from 10 information technology companies in India. After checking the psychometric properties of the instrument, this paper performs hierarchical regression to test hypotheses. Findings The results reveal that: cooperative culture, innovative culture, consistent culture and effectiveness culture were all positively and significantly related to organizational performance; KM practices were positively and significantly related to organizational performance, KM practices moderate the relationship between various dimensions of organizational culture and organizational performance. Research limitations/implications As with any survey-based research, the present study suffers from the problems associated with self-report measures. These are common method bias and social desirability bias. However, this study attempts to minimize these limitations by following appropriate statistical techniques. Practical implications This study contributes to both practicing managers and the literature on KM and organizational culture. The study suggests that managers use KM practices, which are all-pervasive and very important for improving organizational performance. The results highlight the importance of implementing KM practices in organizations. Originality/value This study provides new insights into the importance of KM practices in achieving sustained competitive advantage by achieving organizational effectiveness. To the knowledge, the importance of KM practices is underemphasized in organizational culture research.

Flexibility Maturity

PurposeOrganizational capabilities are crucial to achieve the objectives. A plethora of maturity models is available to guide organizational capabilities that create a perplexing situation about what stuff to improve and what to leave. Therefore, a unified maturity model addressing a wide range of capabilities is a necessity. This paper establishes that a flexibility maturity model is an unified model containing the operational, strategic and human capabilities.Design/methodology/approachThis paper does a comparative analysis/benchmarking studies of different maturity models/frameworks widely used in the information technology (IT) sector with respect to the flexibility maturity model to establish its comprehensiveness and application in the organization to handle multiple goals.FindingsThis study confirms that the flexibility maturity model has the crucial elements of all the maturity models. If the organizations use the flexibility maturity model, they can avoid the burden of complying with multiple ones and become objective-driven rather than compliance-driven.Research limitations/implicationsThe maturity models used in information technology sectors are used. This work will inspire other maturity models to adopt flexibility phenomena.Practical implicationsThe comparative analysis will give confidence in application of flexibility framework. The business environment and strategic options across organizations are inherently different that the flexibility maturity model well handles.Social implicationsA choice is put to an organization to see the comparison tables produced in this paper and choose the right framework according to the prevailing business situation.Originality/valueThis is the first study that makes a conclusion based on comparative benchmarking of existing maturity models.

Linguistic Models

Using a hybrid linguistic approach to model numerical images in the form of time series using probabilistic grammars based on hidden time series and implement information technology to build sets of linguistic models and their hybrids that describe the dynamics of selected time series of processes of different nature.In the article the results of computational experiments are considered, the quality of forecasting of time series of diverse nature at various parameters was proved. The goal of the current research is to provide empirical evidence of the suitability of using a hybrid linguistic approach for predicting time series.Experimental way to find the optimal parameters of the algorithm. The algorithm was applied to a variety of time series (social, medical, financial and economic), calculated the statistical accuracy of the forecast. Experiments have shown that the algorithm consistently performs the forecast of values in a range of 3-4 steps forward and forecasts the trend change by 3-5 steps.

Intangible assets disclosure, even with recent obligation, has brought benefits to companiesvalue and financial performance assistance. This study aims at analyzing the relationshipbetween financial performance, intangible assets disclosure and value creation withinBrazilian and Chilean information technology companies. In order to carry out the survey adescriptive analysis through both documentary research and quantitative approach wasused. Descriptive statistics analysis, t-test and Pearson's correlation helped confirm thatChilean companies disclose more intangible assets and make greater value through reachinggood results in financial performance. Thus, the higher the financial performance, the greaterthe value creation, and the greater the intangible assets disclosure within Chileaninformation technology companies.
