Opportunity Sensing

Summary Dynamic capabilities are an essential theoretical construct that is useful for understanding the phenomenon of competition. However, even though dynamic capabilities and issues relating to them seem to enjoy large popularity, the existing management literature lacks studies into processes that shape dynamic capabilities. This article attempts to outline the concept of dynamic capabilities and presents the authors’ proposed configuration of the processes that shape dynamic capabilities. A discussion then follows of the results of research into the opportunities-sensing and learning processes and how they shape dynamic capabilities in Polish enterprises.

Star Employees

Despite longstanding research interest in understanding causes and consequences of employee turnover, much less is known about the turnover of top talent such as high performers or “stars.” Star employees are disproportionately productive, highly visible, and often maintain strong social networks, all of which makes them desirable to organizations. In this chapter, I review theory and research related to the retention of talented employees including stars, high performers, high potentials, critical roles, and core employees. I structure the review around five key questions: (1) How is talent defined and measured? (2) Are talented employees more likely to quit? (3) What frameworks help us understand star performers? (4) What are the drawbacks of attempting to retain top talent? (5) What additional research is needed?

Purpose: This study examined the relationship between opportunity-sensing capability and corporate vitality of domestic airlines in Nigeria. Materials and Methods: The study adopted an explanatory cross sectional survey research design which was carried out at the organizational level of analysis. The population of this study was the nine (9) operational scheduled domestic airline operators in Nigeria.  The managers involved were: Station Manager, Cabin Service Manager, Director of Airline Services, Operations Manager and Regional Manager. The study adopted the entire population as a census. The reliability of the instrument was ascertained using the Cronbach alpha reliability instrument with all items scoring above 0.70. The Spearman Rank Order Correlation Coefficient was utilized to establish the level of relationship as hypothesized with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 23.0. Results: Findings from the study revealed a strong positive significant relationship between sensing capability and corporate vitality of domestic airlines in Nigeria. It was concluded that when domestic airlines in Nigeria deploy their opportunity sensing capability it enhances the corporate vitality especially in the dynamic business environment. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: It was recommended, that there is need for domestic airlines to have more business forums in order to understand the changing trends within their business operational environment and detect fundamental shifts in their industry. They should look for opportunities to improve the ways in which new knowledge is acquired, analyzed, interpreted and distributed, as well as utilized in making good corporate decisions.
