Developing the Disruptors

Disruptive leaders possess a deep understanding of the nonobvious. Developing solutions with a heightened creativity, solving problems and addressing risks, finding the right tradeoffs, and recognizing the wicked opportunities in the wicked problems, disruptive leaders scan the environment, identify trends, and envision the future. Often, this is done by finding superior solutions, products, and services. However, this is done with a strategic process and plan. In our current business environment, right when we get comfortable, we find ourselves having to adjust to a major change that requires us to shift time, energy, and resources to solve a problem or stay ahead of the market, or change our market. Every change that we encounter creates winners and losers. If we are disruptive in our leadership, these changes can bring about fabulous innovation and create new technologies that benefit humankind. Building a disruptive organization is the best way to thrive. This chapter explores developing the disruptors.

Assessing the achievement of an organisation against its aims and within the business environment leads to the requirement to consider making strategic decisions about the current operation and the future of the organisation. Strategy is the means by which organisations attempt to achieve their objectives. In most organisations there is likely to be a complex set of stakeholders concerned to influence the objectives and hence the strategy of the organisation. Rather than be too concerned about the right definition of strategy it is useful to develop an understanding of what different writers or speakers mean by strategy, i.e. what are the underlying concepts that they are trying to get across?

Envisioning the future is always challenging, and the multi-channel environment is no exception to that rule. The objective of this study was to hypothesize upon the kind of digital services that will likely develop by the year 2020 in a networked, multi-channel business environment. Our starting point was to approach the analysis from a business perspective; in other words, we tried to avoid the typical technology-focused e-business forecasting, which charts the development of new technologies and devices. Instead, we tried to survey for services that would be available across different electronic channels and meet customer needs in the future, as well as what types of businesses would develop around these services. Consequently, this study gives answers to questions like, what will be the future of e-services, who needs and uses them, how will the customer want to buy such services, who will produce e-services and what will the earnings logic be based upon?

The purpose of this article is to provide the basic model of Hofstede and Grays’ cultural values that relates the Hofstede’s cultural dimensions and Gray‘s accounting value. This article reviews some studies that prove the model and develop the research in the future. There are some evidences that link the Hofstede’s cultural values studies with the auditor’s judgment and decisions by developing a framework that categorizes the auditor’s judgments and decisions are most likely influenced by cross-cultural differences. The categories include risk assessment, risk decisions and ethical judgments. Understanding the impact of cultural factors on the practice of accounting and financial disclosure is important to achieve the harmonization of international accounting. Deep understanding about how the local values may affect the accounting practices and their impacts on the financial disclosure are important to ensure the international comparability of financial reporting. Gray’s framework (1988) expects how the culture may affect accounting practices at the national level. One area of the future studies will examine the impact of cultural dimensions to the values of accounting, auditing and decision making.
