In modern working relations, a company can improve its business dramatically, especially with formation and performance of suitable management. An important role in the whole management of a company belongs also to management of e-business. A broad definition defines e-business as a business process that uses Internet (and/or any other electronic medium) as a channel to complete business transactions. One of the main concerns about management of e-business is how much of each e-business should be owned by each e-business participants. This is called the extent of vertical integration. But in the modern business environment, vertical integrations alone are not enough. The alternative to vertical integration is some other form of relationship, not necessarily ownership. Inthe authors’ contribution, they will examine the relationship between the links of the e-business in terms of the flows between the operations involved. The authors use term link for all the different types of flow in exchange. This contribution discusses two issues: 1) How different relationships in e-business impact organization of e-business, and 2) How different organizational forms impact of e-business.

In the modern business environment, the appearance of mergers and acquisitions, the sale of companies, as well as the disappearance of companies from the market are an everyday occurrence. In these, so called “transactions”, there is a need to determine the value of a company that is merged with another company, or that is being sold, or on the other hand that disappears from the market, i.e. goes into liquidation. The companies that are the subject of these “transactions” differ in a number of criteria. One of these criteria is the capital structure. The capital structure is conditioned by numerous factors, from profitability, creditor security, all the way to financial elasticity. Each of these factors implies a different ratio of equity and borrowed capital. The aim of the research is to determine the influence of the financial structure of capital on the estimated value of the company. The methods used to estimate the value of the company are: the method of discounting net cash flow, as a method of yield approach and the method of multiplier based on comparable transactions, as a method of market approach. The influence of the capital structure on the estimated value of the company was determined on the basis of regression and correlation analysis. The results obtained by applying the multiplier method based on comparable transactions, indicate that, with the increase of the share of borrowed capital in the capital structure, the estimated value of the company increases, which is in line with Modigliani - Miller theorem from 1964. However, as the costs of financial troubles increase with the increase in indebtedness, i.e. creditors lose trust in a given company, the question arises what is the upper limit of the company’s indebtedness that maximizes the estimated value of the company. To answer this question, the method of discounting net cash flows was applied. Applying the method of discounting net cash flows, it was determined that the relationship between the share of debt in capital and the value of the company is in line with the theory of static compromise. This means that with an increase in the share of debt in capital, the value of the company will grow to a certain level of that leverage, and after that level, the value of the company will decrease with an increase in the share of debt in capital. The level of debt participation in the capital that maximizes the value of the company differs from company to company, i.e. it is not unambiguously determined and it depends on the price of equity and borrowed capital, as well as the level of income tax rate. Taking into account the above-mentioned results, as well as the results of hypothesis testing, it can be concluded that the hypothesis was confirmed, according to which with increasing share of borrowed capital, the value of the company will grow to a certain level of leverage, and after that level with further increase of leverage the value of the company decreases.

PurposeThe creative process through which the territorial resources, knowledge and culture are used, exploited and configured to match needs and to achieve congruence with the changing business environment has become a crucial process for competitiveness. This is even more relevant for economies of developing countries which are continuously struggling to reap the benefits of globalisation, as well as to grasp the new opportunities for competitiveness. As such, this paper aims to try to concentrate on the dynamic perspectives of the creative economy of countries by distinguishing between the potentialities and performance. The paper tackles the influence that creativity capacities might have on performance of countries.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology consists in identifying creative economy indicators from a diverse data set of the World Economic Forum and distinguish them between potential and performance indicators.FindingsData reveal as good progress and emphasis is being devoted to increasing the level of creativity; however, the Balkan countries still holdup in their capacity to boost innovation.Practical implicationsThe paper provide a new focus of research on creativity measurement that is significant for understanding what creative capacities territories possess and the ability to make proficient use for growth and innovation.Originality/valueThis paper proposes a new operational framework for measuring and interpreting the creative economy indicators by identifying not only indicators that gauge the potentialities of a country, but also indicators that are linked with the performance dimension, as well as the relationship amongst them.

One of the core issues of strategy revolves around the relation between strategy and performance. Research studies analyze whether different performances are associated with different strategic attitudes. Given the importance of this issue, the objective of this paper is to describe and analyze the relation between the corporate profile, the adopted strategy and the performance in international markets of firms in the leather and footwear industry from the State of Rio Grande do Sul. The analysis of the corporate profile identified mature, medium-sized and big firms that engage in planning to guide their actions and that are concerned about monitoring changes in the environment with which they work. In regard to the relation between the corporate profile, the adopted strategy and international performance, an analysis of the correlation showed that the main variables that characterize the specific group are the strategic profile, planning, and monitoring of the business environment. It was found that firms with a high Gross Operating Income engage in planning activities on a less consistent basis, do not monitor their business environment and adopt a defensive strategic attitude.

Previous studies are inconsistent in their findings about the relationship between external involvement and performance. The authors attribute this inconsistency to the misfit between external involvement and business environment. Drawing the concept of fit between information processing capabilities and needs from information processing theory, they develop the fitting patterns between external involvement and business environment and examine their impacts on performance. Information processing capabilities are measured by the degree of two types of external involvement in the NPD process and information processing needs are assessed based on three dimensions of business environment. Cluster analysis was used to develop the taxonomies of fit between external involvement and business environment. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to examine the impacts of fitting patterns between external involvement and business environment on performance. The results reveal six fitting patterns between external involvement and business environment. ANOVA results show that the fitting patterns between external involvement and business environment are related to both operational performance and business performance, supporting our fit theory.

Abstract The research aims to identify a modern Business Process Management solution to simulate integrated coordination mechanisms with impact on organization’s innovation. From a scientific and socio-economic perspective, the article is aligned with the European innovation trend that supports organizations' preoccupation to introduce innovation and upgrading processes, technologies and business models. The issues that the author has identified and sought to find answers are to identify that mild method of Business Process Management that can be correlated with the dimensions of organizational innovation in areas such as: the organization's infrastructure, partnership between business members, innovation "inside". The second issue is to limit current approaches by analyzing the current state of knowledge. The research has been included within the boundaries of modeling and simulation of business process flows with impact on organizational innovation vectors. Thus, the paper proposes and presents a set of integrated processes of collaboration between the organization and the business environment using Business Process Management as an integrated coordination mechanism of the organization's innovation

Performance is critical for every listed firm, as it enhances shareholder’s value and capability to generate earnings from invested capital. Some of the firms listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) have been performing poorly as indicated by the rising number of firms issuing profit warnings. The competitive business environment is continuously working to drive down the rate of return on invested capital. To counter these competitive forces, firms have resorted to gathering information at their disposal and converting it into competitive intelligence through analysis and human judgment. Competitive intelligence can be viewed both as a process and a product. As a process, it is the set of legal and ethical methods for collecting, developing, analyzing and disseminating actionable information pertaining to competitors, suppliers, customers, the organization itself and business environment that can affect a company’s plans, decisions and operations. Competitive intelligence as a product is information about the present and future behavior of competitors, suppliers, customers, technologies, government, market and the general business environment. This study sought to determine the moderating effect of organizational factors between competitive intelligence practices and performance of firms listed on the NSE. Firm performance was evaluated using both financial and non-financial measures. The findings indicate that organizational factors specifically organizational culture, organizational structure and managerial attitudes toward competitive intelligence were found to moderate in the relationship between the competitive intelligence practices and performance of firms listed on the NSE, Kenya.
