Abstract The basic indicators of manufacturing industry’s level of development are still at an unenviable level, although it provides the majority of tradable goods of Serbian economy and has the most significant share in gross domestic product. This state of the manufacturing industry in Serbia is the result of an unstable macroeconomic environment and institutional insecurity, as well as an inadequate management approach in companies of this sector. Taking into account the situation, there is an obvious need to change management approach in these companies, which includes improving their budgeting processes and systems. Budgeting, as a management instrument, has become important in companies in Serbia only in the last decades, that is, after the change of the economic system. The results of the conducted empirical study, aiming to perceive the current state and relevant management attitudes regarding the implementation of certain budgeting concepts in manufacturing companies in Serbia, are presented in this paper. The study aims to determine the current presence of certain budgeting concepts, as well as which concepts the management of the sample companies intends to implement in the future, since it considers them an appropriate and a good solution for its company, taking into account the specifics of its environment and business. The presented results will show whether manufacturing companies in Serbia follow global trends in budgeting practices that relate to the implementation of modern budgeting concepts with flexibility, customer focus and performance based as their key features.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse the effects of implementing a standardised innovation management system (SIMS) in accordance with the Spanish UNE 166.000 standard on technological and administrative innovations and company performance. Design/methodology/approach Structural equation modelling was used to test the research hypotheses with a sample of 200 manufacturing companies. Findings The results obtained show that implementing the SIMS promotes all types of innovations and their results. In addition, a positive relationship is found between administrative and technological innovation. Research limitations/implications The results of this paper show the importance of innovation management systems for the effective development of innovation processes. Despite the limitations that may arise from differences between the measurements and actual implementation, the application of a system of standard-based innovation management encourages the development of different types of innovation. Practical implications The research validates the use of standardisation for the development of innovation as a useful tool for the management of innovation in the company. The UNE 166.000 standard provides a guide for those companies that intend to develop more effectively administrative and technological innovations. Originality/value This is the first known paper testing the implications of UNE 166.000 SIMS on both organisational innovation and performance in a sample of companies.

Purpose: Most of the large manufacturing firms in Kenya have been experiencing declining performance in terms of revenue, sales and the profit margins for more than a decade. This has seen some of the large manufacturing firms in the country consider strategies such as relocating or restructuring their operations, opting to serve the local market through importing from low-cost manufacturing areas instead of adopting turnaround strategies. This therefore prompted a question on whether turnaround strategies such as reengineering strategy are effective for the manufacturing firms; hence the motivation of this study. Methodology: This study was informed by theory of constraints. A descriptive research design was adopted while 708 large manufacturing firms in Kenya registered under the Kenya Association of Manufacturers were targeted. The sample size for the study was 249 firms selected randomly from all the 14 sectors of the manufacturing industry in Kenya. The data collection instrument was a questionnaire, while mean, frequencies and percentages were used to describe the data. Correlation and regression analysis were done to show direction, magnitude and significance of the association between the variables. Findings: The findings revealed that re-engineering strategy had significant and positive influence on the performance of large manufacturing firms in Kenya. The findings further revealed that organizational culture had significant moderating effect on the relationship between reengineering strategy and performance of large manufacturing companies. The study concluded that reengineering strategy as one of the turnaround strategies positively influenced the performance of large manufacturing companies. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: It is therefore recommended that the management of large manufacturing firms uphold reengineering strategy in order to enhance performance.

The study examines the effect of information quality on competitive advantage and company performance. This is a survey study conducted in engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) companies in Indonesia throughout the year 2020. Out of 189 questionnaires submitted to 63 EPC companies, 96 questionnaires from 49 companies were returned and processed. The unit of analysis is the organization, and the directors of the company are the respondents. The research instrument was built based on the operationalisation of variables developed by previous research. The research results are explained descriptively and verified by using structural equation modelling (SEM). The data were processed with the use of the LISREL 8.8 statistical software. The results showed that information quality had a significant positive effect on the company’s competitive advantage, but did not have a significant effect on the company’s performance. Information quality can have a positive impact on the company’s performance when mediated by the company’s competitive advantage. Other findings show that the company’s competitive advantage has a significant impact on its performance. The findings indicate that EPC companies in Indonesia need information quality to create corporate excellence. A competitive advantage can also improve the company’s performance. EPC companies should invest heavily in IT, because information quality is the biggest determining factor in increasing their competitive advantage and performance, particularly as the application of artificial intelligence technology can be an alternative solution in the increasing competitiveness with the global EPC firms.

The goal of this research was to examine the effect of managerial ownership and risk toward company performance with company environment as the moderating variables and the firm-size as the control variable. The hierarchical cluster analysis was used to acquire two group samples of prospector and defender company. The result of multiple regression analysis shows that company environment moderates the risk and the managerial ownership toward the performance. Polynomial regression analysis method was conducted to test the effect of managerial ownership and risk toward the performance in the company with the type of prospector and defender. The result shows that in the prospector company, managerial ownership statistically does not give significant influence to company performance, and in the second degree, managerial ownership does not affect the company performance. This research also proves that managerial ownership negatively affects company performance in the defender company, although this influence gradually changes into the positive influence. This research reveals that risk gives positive influence to company performance in the defender company. Moreover, this influence gradually changes into negative influence. On the other hand, the risk gives negative influence to the performance of prospector company, and it gradually changes into the positive influence.
