scholarly journals Effects of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) and Economic Issues on the Performance of Manufacturing Sector-SMEs in Malaysia – A Conceptual Framework

This study aims to construct a conceptual framework that describes effect of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) on the relationship among organizational performance and economic issues. The study intended to establish whether ERM adoption and economic issues influence the performance of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) as focusing in manufacturing sector. However, as compared to large businesses, small businesses became one of the highest failure rates. ERM is a form of micro risk management and a full approach to identify risk in all purposeful areas. However, based on previous studies, the study to examine the practices in adopting ERM especially in SMEs and the performance of SMEs are still lacking. Hence, the area of this paper will be focus on SMEs manufacturing which are 380 registered SMEs that listed under SME Corp. Malaysia.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the linkages between management accounting systems (MAS), enterprise risk management (ERM) and organizational performance by examining MAS information characteristics that match ERM implementation and joint effects of MAS and ERM on organizational performance. Design/methodology/approach – The research method involved administering a questionnaire to 106 financial institutions (FIs) in Malaysia. The respondents were chief financial officers or staff members holding the most senior positions in the finance department of the institutions. Findings – The significant findings on the association between ERM and MAS show that implementation of ERM requires the use of sophisticated MAS information. ERM and MAS complement each other as both are integral to decision making, planning and control in an organization. The finding also substantiates the important role of ERM in enhancing non-financial performance. Research limitations/implications – This study covered only MAS as part of sub-control systems in an organization. Future studies could investigate the link between a more comprehensive management accounting and control system and ERM. Furthermore, this study used perceptual measures of MAS, ERM and organizational performance. Practical implications – The regulating body should promote best management practices of sophisticated MAS and ERM among FIs as these practices will create competitive advantage as well as help those institutions comply with regulations. Originality/value – This study has contributed to the body of knowledge on the linkages between MAS, risk management system and organizational performance.

Risk is inherent in all parts of the organization and if it is not efficiently managed by the senior management it will affect the confidence and expectations of the stakeholders. Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is said as a best practice technique to evaluate and manage all these risks in this new economic reality. Therefore, organizations practicing ERM are more prepared in managing the feasible threats. In fact, there is a general consensus by scholars and researchers that organizations practicing ERM will improve the organizational performance. However, empirical evidence regarding this matter is still considered scarce. As such, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the mediating effect of ERM on risk management support and organizational performance among public listed companies.

Background: Today’s health care landscape requires a new standard of service delivery aimed at quality outcomes, cost-effective provisions of coordinated treatment, and access to equitable care. This standard has brought emerging risks that pose threats to the operational and financial well-being of health care organizations, especially safety net hospitals. The establishment of enterprise risk management (ERM) programs guided by the efforts of efficacious health care managers will promote deeper risk analysis, engagement of the entire health care organization, and structured, coordinated and cohesive mitigation responses to risk exposures.Objective: To establish and implement an ERM program using the Administrator on Duty (AOD) model that will promote a patient-centric paradigm of care while optimizing organizational performance and mitigating risk and exposure.Results: The AOD model significantly contributes to all phases of ERM, particularly risk identification, risk assessment, risk response and monitoring. The model, as perceived by both AODs and hospital senior leadership, provides tremendous benefits to a health care organization. These include, among many others, a substantial leadership presence, dynamic risk mitigation efforts, continuous education to staff and facilitation of problem solving and conflict resolution.Conclusions: The AOD program is a vital constituent of an ERM endeavor. AODs are pivotal to managing the global risk terrain of a health care organization and play a substantial role in promoting patient, staff and visitor safety while working to ensure potential and actual risk issues are addressed timely and appropriately.

There has been a call for integrating a strategic performance measurement system and enterprise risk management (ERM) as a proposed best practice for risk management. This study examines the effects of ERM and performance measurement systems (PMS) on organizational performance. In addition, this study also examines the effects of a linked ERM-PMS tool on organizational performance. The research method involved administering an online questionnaire survey to 196 public listed firms. The respondents were the head of risk management department of the firms. In the case of ERM and PMS effects on organizational performance, the result of simple linear regression supported the research hypotheses. However the results from the moderated multiple regression which was employed to test the joint effect of ERM and PMS on organizational performance did not support the research hypothesis. Based on the study results it is recommended that firms may practice ERM and PMS separately rather than linking them together, since their integration may complicate the PMS framework. Keywords: Enterprise Risk Management; Performance Measurement System; Balanced Scorecard; Organizational Performance.
