The Relationship

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship of business strategies with executive staffing of multinational companies (MNCs). Design/methodology/approach Based on in-depth interviews conducted with top executives of 22 MNCs’, the authors identify important connections between international business strategies and staffing orientation. The authors used the qualitative research approach of building theory from interviews; thus, creating theoretical propositions from empirical evidence. Findings The authors find that when the pressure for global integration is high, MNCs use more parent-country national (PCNs) (ethnocentric staffing) as against the use of host-country managers (HCNs) (polycentric staffing) when this pressure is low. Additionally, MNCs using a global strategy are more likely to use an ethnocentric staffing approach, those using a multi-domestic strategy use a polycentric approach and firms using transnational strategy adopt a mix of ethnocentric and polycentric approaches. Research limitations/implications Although the authors derive theoretical patterns based on rich qualitative data, their sample is relatively small and comprises mostly of French MNCs. Generalizability to a broader context is limited. However, the authors’ findings have critical implications for future research. Practical implications The authors’ findings provide critical managerial implications for MNCs in matching their HR strategies with business strategies. These are important for effective strategy implementation. Originality/value Although MNC staffing orientations have been studied for a long time, their relationship to international business strategies is still not clearly understood. The authors contribute to the literature by investigating the relationship between MNCs’ business strategy types with staffing orientations.

The Relationship

Purpose This paper examines the relationship between business strategies and employees’ intention to leave (ITL), through the mediating role of high-performance work system (HPWS). Design/methodology/approach To test their hypotheses, the authors used self-administered questionnaires. They drew up a list of 600 organizations of different nature and structure operating in India that were listed by the Federation of Indian Chambers and Industry. They approved 192 organizations and sent the surveys to 960 executives. They aimed to receive a minimum of one response from an HR executive and two from non-HR executives from each one. In the end, they received 572 useable responses. Findings The study found that high-performance work systems (HPWS) mediate the relationship between business strategy and employees’ intention to leave (ITL). The two effective approaches were “quality management” and “innovation strategy”, both of which reinforced the adoption of HPWS. But a third approach, a “cost-reduction strategy”, was not shown to be positively correlated with HPWS. Another important finding was that the influence on ITL did not vary across the types, or ownership structures, of the firms. Originality/value The data has lessons for HR departments. First, it shows it is advantageous for firms hoping to retain more employees to invest in HPWS that are consistent with the values of their organizations. A second practical finding is that firms need to take into account the Indian context. A third lesson is HR practitioners should make strong efforts to communicate the goals of the HPWS to employees The study also shows firms adopting cost-reduction strategies should focus more on treating employees as resources.

<p class="Abstrak">Perkembangan rumah sakit di Indonesia semakin meningkat, sejak tahun 2012 sampai 2018 mengalami peningkatan dengan rata – rata 5.2%. Tentunya hal tersebut memiliki dampak terhadap daya saing yang lebih kompetitif. Kebijakan pemerintah Indonesia  yang mengharuskan rumah sakit bekerja sama dengan Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN) guna pemerataan  pelayanan kesehatan mempengaruhi jumlah pendapatan. Faktanya asuransi BPJS Kesehatan mengalami defisit anggaran yang nilainya sangat besar. <em>Manajement</em> rumah sakit harus mencari strategi dan kebijakan yang tepat dalam upaya memaksimalkan pendapatan khususnya di era JKN. Pembatasan jumlah kunjungan tidak mungkin dilakukan mengingat sebagian besar pasien berasal dari peserta BPJS Kesehatan. Tujuan penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menemukan kebijakan dan solusi yang tepat bagi rumah sakit untuk mendapatkan keuntungan finasial dalam kondisi defisitnya anggaran asuransi kesehatan. Penting informasi membuat manajemen rumah sakit berupaya untuk memanfaatkan teknologi informasi sebagai media untuk merancang strategi bisnisnya, simulasi komputer seperti pemodelan sistem dinamik mempu menggambarkan dan mensimulasikan sistem secara nyata yang mengacu pada data,  sehingga pemangku kepentingan dapat memprediksi kondisi yang bisa terjadi dimasa depan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwasanya dengan merubah sistem pembayaran dari <em>Fee For Services</em> menjadi <em>INA</em> - <em>Case Base Groups</em> dapat memberikan keuntungan lebih bagi rumah sakit, hal ini dikarenakan tarif yang ditetapkan menyesuaikan dengan tarif rumah sakit di seluruh Indonesia. Temuan lain yang perlu diperhatikan adalah piutang pihak asuransi mengalami peningkatan, tentunya hal tersebut perlu perhatian lebih, serta bisa dijadikan bahan pertimbangan untuk mengubah sistem pembayaran karena sesuai hasil simulasi dapat memaksimalkan jumlah pendapatan . Lokasi penelitian di unit rawat inap, rumah sakit islam surabaya, diharapkan dari hasil pemodelan simulasi bisa dijadikan sebagai gambaran atau acuan bagi manajemen puncak rumah sakit dalam mengambil sebuah keputusan sebagai strategi bisnis.</p><p class="Abstrak"> </p><p class="Abstrak"><strong><em>Abstract</em></strong></p><p class="Abstrak"></p><p class="Abstract"><em>Hospital development in Indonesia has increased, from 2012 to 2018 has increased by an average of 5.2%.. Of course this has an impact on more competitive competitiveness. Indonesian government policy that requires hospitals to work closely with the National Health Insurance (JKN) in order to equalize health services affects the amount of revenue. The fact is that BPJS Health insurance has a very large budget deficit. Hospital management must find the right strategy and policy in an effort to maximize revenue, especially in the JKN era. Limiting the number of visits is not possible considering that most patients come from BPJS Health participants. The purpose of this study was to find the right policies and solutions for hospital to obtain financial benefits in the health insurance budget deficit. Important information makes hospital management strive to utilize information technology as media for designing business strategies, computer simulations such as dynamic system modeling can describe and simulate real systems that refer to data, so that stakeholders can predict conditions that can occur in the future. The results showed that by changing the payment system from Fee For Services to INA - Case Base Groups can provide more benefits for hospital, this is because the rates set adjust to hospital rates throughout Indonesia. Another finding that needs to be considered is that the insurance receivables have increased, of course it needs more attention, and can be taken into consideration to change the payment system because according to the simulation results can maximize the amount of income. The location of research in the inpatient unit, Surabaya Islamic hospital, is expected from the results of simulation modeling can be used as an illustration or reference for top management of the hospital in making a decision as a business strategy.</em></p>

The Relationship

This study investigates the relationship between family ownership, agency costs, financial performance, and companies’ business strategies. The targeted population of this study were all 143 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2007–2014. About 31% (45) of these manufacturing companies are family companies. The hypotheses were tested using the partial least-square (PLS) method. Our findings reveal that the companies’ business strategies are not affected by the family ownership. Family ownership and business strategies influence companies’ financial performance. Agency costs influence business strategy and financial performance, and this shows that agency costs contribute to both the increase and decrease of financial performance. Business strategy mediates the relationship between family ownership and financial performance. This shows that family companies do not concentrate on financial goals but rather on the sustainability. Business strategy influences the relationship between agency costs and financial performance. This shows that funds can be redistributed in the course of business strategy planning, which will, in turn, improve the company’s development.

It is stressed that all organizations should pursue strategic alignment practices to improve organizational performance when using IT-based resources. Case studies specific to the construction industry are presented to illustrate practical problems that companies face. With this background, the critical success factors of implementing IT business strategy are discussed. They mainly center around the goal of enabling businesses to reduce costs while at the same time improve IT’s contribution to their overall performance in terms of overall profit or net earnings. In the discussion, research finding of organizational success in strategic IT and business alignment are used to elaborate on the factors involved, both internal and external to the organization. Overall, the essential traits of successfully aligned organizations are mentioned. This is followed by describing a proposed model that is able to successfully address the alignment of business and IT by adopting a process-driven architecture that focuses on information management.

The next part describes some major steps of implementation like defining the goals and linking them to the performance criterion, focusing on the strategic intentions, adopting an effective plan, quantifying the cost and benefits of IT, measuring and tracking the results, and, last but not least, managing culture. Specifically on the construction industry, the chapter covers the main advantages and disadvantages of adopting IT to increase strategic competitiveness of construction companies. The illustrations from past research focus on links that are established between competitive advantage or project success and the use of technology. As background to proposing a set of recommendations on how IT business strategies can be implemented in design and construction firms, the case of IT adoption in the construction industry of Singapore is presented to serve as an overview of developments in this area. Based on the performance criteria established for these two types of firms in Singapore, appropriate enablers of implementation are suggested, including the kind of business strategy applicable to different firm types, through a process framework.
