Innovation Approach

Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) is the most important methodological innovation in management and social science in the last two decades (Fiss et al., 2016). This paper attempts to use this innovative research method to study innovation in a Parent-Subsidiary ERP implementation project. A Crisp set QCA study is used to study 18 company-wide system projects in subsidiaries of a Multinational Enterprise (MNE). The generic applications of the innovation projects enabled the study to have a common denominator to gauge the innovation resulting in a variance of planned and actual completion dates. Although the data collected was from a completed projects log, the study took a subsidiary-innovation approach to measure the managerial alignments and the possible application of agency theory.

Real Challenge

Although the benefits of ERP are obvious, the risks and costs associated with it are very high. Some problems in implementing ERP system are documented, but the real challenge comes from the Internet and E-business. ERP is an enterprise wide system whose purpose is to achieve internal efficiency, while E-business cuts across different enterprises and extends the individual value chain into an Internet based, dynamic process aimed at maximizing external efficiency. To survive the E-business challenge, the arguably single, and also the best, solution for ERP systems is to integrate with E-business applications, which we call ERP II. By properly resolving the issues of integration via newly emerged technologies, and embracing the extended function of mobile-commerce, ERP II will continue to flourish in the next century.

Success Model

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to propose an enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementation model based on the agency theory and the Delone and McLean information systems (IS) success model. This paper answers two major research questions: (i) how does client–consultant interaction affect the outcome of ERP implementation projects; and (ii) how can this interaction be managed effectively to ensure successful project outcomes?Design/methodology/approachAn electronic banking institution in Africa was used to conduct a case study research and examine the validity of the proposed conceptual framework.FindingsBased on the constructs of the conceptual framework, the study found that client–consultant relationships/interactions mediate the effect of human, organizational, and technological critical success factors (CSFs) on information quality, service quality, and information quality. Agency conflicts in client–consultant relationships can be managed using outcome incentive-based contracts and a conflict management committee.Research limitations/implicationsThis is a single case study research. Thus, despite its analytical validity and generalizability, there is a need for more studies on the statistical validity of the model in other contexts.Practical implicationsThis paper provides practical information needed to manage conflicts between clients and consultants, as well as factors that must be considered in order to keep the interest of both parties aligned.Originality/valueNo research has been conducted on how to manage client–consultant interactions and related conflicts in ERP implementation projects. This study fills this gap using a well-established theoretical foundation to propose a conceptual framework that would guide and drive further discussions on the topic. This is also one of the few studies in the context of developing countries.

Future Potential

Qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) is a set-theoretic configurational approach that uses the logic of Boolean algebra to conceptualize and empirically examine potentially complex causal relations. The potential of this methodological innovation to draw innovative insights toward answering enduring questions and to foster novel research has increasingly been realized in several social science disciplines. However, to date, limited education research has taken advantage of this potential. The purpose of this review is to facilitate an education research agenda that capitalizes on the strengths of QCA and its set-theoretic approach. We introduce the foundations of QCA, outline the promise it holds for education research, systematically review and appraise empirical education research that has applied QCA, and complement this review with a review of research from outside the field that may serve as inspiration for education researchers. In doing so, we highlight areas of improved research designs in education research practice and point education researchers to promising research directions. We conclude with suggestions for researchers to weigh QCA’s strengths and limitations in comparison with other methods.

Product And Process

With the internationalization of innovation, multinational enterprise (MNE) subsidiaries have been found to play a critical role in product and process innovation. Deriving from a rich and diverse subsidiary innovation (SI) literature, this article attempts to develop a comprehensive model to study the factors that impact SI in a developing economy by devising three macro constructs, namely, (a) local environment (LE), (b) subsidiary traits (ST) and (c) headquarters (HQ) strategy (HS). The 15 factors associated with these macro constructs identified through literature review are statistically validated through an ‘Idea Engineering’ exercise for their contextual relevance. Based on an expert survey carried out in the developing economy context of India, barring 2 HS factors, rest of them have been found to be statistically significant in the Indian context. Antecedents of SI, identified by this article, can be used by domain practitioners and experts in the field to improve their organization’s innovative capability. The proposed model in this study can be further empirically validated by researchers working in the area of SI.

The Cost

Agency Theory has attracted significant controversy by exposing both conflicts of interest within the firm based on the innate human need that is self-interest. A lack of self-interest leads to destructive behavior and incentives will make the work place more difficult to control. Open innovation has been an increasing trend with large companies, however, the cost savings and the structure of this integrative mechanism may still be unknown. To provide a more ontological view of agency theory in an open innovation environment, the author shows that organizational defenses can be overcome to promote mutual benefits for the firm. A case study is used that shows that a multinational enterprise can realize growth and be agile in spite of its size. The author adds to theory by establishing propositions for growth by leveraging relatedness and collaboration that enables open innovation throughout a federated organizational design.

Abstract. This editorial gives a brief introduction to the six articles included in the fourth “Hotspots in Psychology” of the Zeitschrift für Psychologie. The format is devoted to systematic reviews and meta-analyses in research-active fields that have generated a considerable number of primary studies. The common denominator is the research synthesis nature of the included articles, and not a specific psychological topic or theme that all articles have to address. Moreover, methodological advances in research synthesis methods relevant for any subfield of psychology are being addressed. Comprehensive supplemental material to the articles can be found in PsychArchives ( https://www.psycharchives.org ).

There is renewed interest in the need to focus on corporate governance in an environment where it is a performance imperative for all small and large organizations, private and public, beginner or established.The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the place of corporate governance practices in organizations to ensure that the board, officers, and directors take action to protect shareholder interests and all stakeholders. It is important to focus on the effect of these practices on improving performance and competitiveness. To do so, we opted for the hypothetico-deductive method with a quantitative approach. Our theoretical foundation is theory is agency theory.
