Managing institutional complexity in a state-owned enterprise – the role of explicated values and other management controls

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate efforts to manage institutional complexity in a state-owned enterprise, the roles of explicated values in these efforts and how these values interact with each other and other influential management controls. Design/methodology/approach Exploratory case study in StateEnt, a state-owned enterprise that faces institutional complexity. The analysis is based on interviews, observations and documents and concepts from the management control literature and institutional logics are applied. Findings Findings from this study suggest that a structural differentiation have separated two logics in different departments and two of the explicated values have become symbols of these logics taking on various roles in negotiations. Tension between the departments is heightened because the departments legitimize logic enactment through mobilizing different socio-technical dyads of management control. The division of responsibility between these departments still ensures that they need to collaborate and make compromises. The study also finds that exogenously imposed constraints have a significant influence on organizational activities, which is further strengthened due to internally developed management controls embedded in the same logic. Research limitations/implications The study contributes with deeper understanding of values as control, and how these interact with other control forms to influence organizational activity. Herein, the importance of regulatory controls in state-owned enterprises is also highlighted. A limitation of this study is the limited size of the organization under investigation. Originality/value The explicit emphasis on values as a control in studies on management control issues in institutionally complex environments is underemphasized in the literature.

Menakar Alternatif Sumber Bantuan Likuiditas KSPPS Berbasis Grameen

The purpose of this study is to develop and measure various alternative liquidity assistance model policies that can provide solutions to the Grameen-based KSPPS liquidity problems. To describe the problems of Grameen-based KSPPS liquidity policies, the researcher uses the Analytic Network Process (ANP) methodology. ANP begins with the decomposition of problems through interviews and literature studies with the aim of exploring data sources and for the purposes of preparing the ANP model framework. The next step is followed by filling out a comparison questionnaire to get the choice of the most prioritized liquidity sources. The results of our research show that the revolving fund program and soft loans from the government are the source of liquidity with the main preference when it comes to the need for fund allocation. Meanwhile, when viewed from the variable consideration of the revolving fund program, it is the main priority. We also found that the crisis due to the Covid-19 pandemic greatly affected the liquidity problems of LKMS. Finally, this study also reveals that competition with PNM Mekar, which is a state-owned enterprise, was a major problem both before and after the Covid-19 crisis.
