Esteve-Perez, Jeronimo, and Antonio Garcia-Sanchez. "Strategic positioning analysis of Spanish cruise ports." Maritime Business Review 2, no. 2 (2017): 158–70. http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/mabr-03-2017-0011.
Full textAbstract:
Purpose Cruise traffic has dynamically advanced worldwide over the past two decades. This maritime business and tourism typology is strongly concentrated in several links that comprise the cruise product. With regard to destination regions, the concentration occurs both in the few worldwide destination regions and in the specific ports within a given destination region. Moreover, in a cruise itinerary’s configuration, there is a strong spatial dependence between the ports that comprise it. Taking these into account, the aims of this paper are to identify the current competitive positions of Spanish cruise ports and to explain the different features of the competitive positions obtained. Design/methodology/approach A sample of 21 Spanish ports is selected to conduct a competitive positioning analysis. The analysis is developed by applying portfolio analysis based on the “growth-share matrix” adapted to the port industry. Moreover, the sample of ports is divided into three groups based on geographical positions of ports on the Spanish coast, and each group is analysed separately. Findings The three Spanish coastal areas have a behavioural pattern in which few ports concentrate the greater share of the cruising activity. The highest number of competitive positions are mature leader and high potential. In the three Spanish coastal areas, there are ports with these positions. Additionally, there are homeports available in the three coastal areas. Originality/value The paper contributes to the research of the cruise industry sector especially from the point of view of cruise ports. The results obtained may be useful to cruise port managers for developing strategies aimed at increasing cruise traffic in a port.

Full textAbstract:
Given the complex and disruptive open-ended dynamics in the current dynamic global environment, senior management recognizes the need for a formalized, consistent, and comprehensive framework to analyze the firm’s strategic posture. Modern assessment tools, such as H. Igor Ansoff’s seminal contributions to strategic diagnosis, primarily focused on identifying and enhancing the firm’s strategic performance potential through the analysis of the industry’s environmental turbulence level relative to the firm’s aggressiveness and responsiveness of capability. Other epistemic modeling techniques envisage Porter’s generic strategic positions, Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT), and Resource-Based View as useful methodologies to aid in the planning process. All are complex and involve multiple managerial perspectives. Over the last two decades, attempts have been made to comprehensively classify the firm’s future competitive position. Most of these proposals utilized matrices to depict the position, such as the Boston Consulting Group, point positioning, and dispersed positioning. The GE/McKinsey later enhanced this typology by expanding to 3 × 3, contributing to management’s deeper understanding of the firm’s position. Both types of assessments, Ansoff’s strategic diagnosis and positional matrices, are invaluable strategic tools for firms. However, it could be argued that these positional analyses singularly reflect a blind spot in modeling the firm’s future strategic performance potential, as neither considers the interactions of the other. This article is conceptual and takes a different approach from earlier methodologies. Although conceptual, the article aims to present a robust model combining Ansoff’s strategic diagnosis with elements of the performance matrices to provide the management with an enriched capability to evaluate the firm’s current and future performance position.

Full textAbstract:
The mandate of government policy is to flatten bureaucracy structure through transferring administrative positions to professional ones. Such policy has caused many issues. Thus, it is necessary to develop professional positions. This research analyses three strategic aspects of professional position development that include legal, technical, and welfare aspects using a systematic literature review method. It shows that the legal aspect requires certain policies to accelerate the implementation of flat bureaucracy and problem-solving in organizational structure as well as in personnel management. The government's commitment is required by the planning system related to the development of professional positions both at the central and regional levels. In the technical aspect, the analysis shows competency development become mandatory for agencies to solve the competency gap between administrative positions and professional positions. Then on the welfare aspect, there is an income gap between administrative positions and several professional positions. The government has to make a regulation about allowance to resolve the income gap.

Full textAbstract:
The approaches to forming the strategy of higher education institutions development are investigated. The target approach is determined to be the priority. The sequence of forming of the strategy of higher education institutions development according to the target approach is formulated and described as follows: the definition of the purpose of the strategy; formation of a strategic imperative of development; study of the internal and external environment of the institution of higher education; identifying opportunities and obstacles for development; choice of development model; detailing (if necessary) strategies in separate functional strategies; formation of strategic maps for strategy implementation. Each stage of strategy formation is described. The strategic imperatives of the development of the higher education institutions are recommended to be further elaborated in line with strategic development, since they are the main priorities and long-term orientations. If the goal of the strategic development of higher education institutions can be descriptive, strategic imperatives should be described in detail, and justified in the form of specific strategic indicators, which level should be reached in the process of implementation of the strategy. The main strategic models of the development of higher education institutions are determined depending on their market position and strategic development scenarios on the basis of evaluation of internal and external factors. The generalization of the research of competitive positions of higher education institutions allows distinguishing such competitive positions as "leaders", "following the leaders", "middle peasants", and "outsiders". On the other hand, strategic development depends on the potential of enterprise development and its strategic orientations, which is reflected in the development scenarios. Moreover, they distinguish such strategic development scenarios as pessimistic, most likely and optimistic. The importance of the formation of strategic maps was determined. The formulation of information in the field of development in the form of strategic cards actually visualizes what indicator is necessary to "move" the institution of higher education in order to achieve the strategic goal and who is responsible for it. The strategy of development of the higher education institutions is to be implemented on the basis of developed strategic maps. А strategic map for the direction of development of "International Positioning" was proposed.

Full textAbstract:
It has been suggested in the literature that low-cost airlines have, in varying degrees, departed from the original low-cost model introduced by Southwest Airlines. This study provides a multi-year analysis in the post-9/11 time period, for the years 2004-2009, of the demonstrated strategic positioning choices of U. S. low-cost airlines. The sample utilized is restricted to U. S. low-cost carriers so as not to conflate operating environments. Furthermore, a quantitative methodology is employed to measure effectively these choices and to facilitate inter-airline comparisons. Airlines, as part of their strategic planning process, articulate positions with regard to cost leadership, product differentiation, and growth. Decisions implemented are dynamic and inter-temporal in nature. Managers thus need a multi-period methodology to evaluate the implementation of strategic positions. One such approach is the strategic analysis of operating income utilized in this study.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, a new strategic analysis method is introduced, called the ten-element analysis (TEA) method to determine the firm’s strategic position in the market. The new method is grounded on the computation of the reflections of the external factors on the firm’s internal factors through the changes of the values of the internal factors throughout the time when a lack of complete information regarding the environmental factors exists. The TEA method takes ten effective key elements of the firm into account and investigates their changes through a maximum of nine periods and a minimum of two periods. To conduct the model, the paper is mainly focused on four main rubrics, including the detection of the reflection of the firm’s environmental factors on the internal factors, deriving the strategic position of the firm from the reflections, the capability of the existing strategic models in determining the strategic position from the reflections in presence of uncertainty and incomplete information of the external factors. The method is applied to a dairy company in order to find its strategic position in the market. The results showed that the output of the TEA method and SWOT analysis is similar which makes the new method reliable to employ. The TEA method is developed under the grey environment to harness the uncertainty where a new grey comparison method is introduced to compare the grey numbers.

This conceptual analysis explores recruiters’ ability to utilize the practice of strategic foresight to scan internal and external environments as a strategic plan to matching people to jobs. In today’s volatile market, it is no longer useful for recruiters to attract and hire talent with a desultory mindset when filling open positions without considering internal and external factors. Today’s recruiters must become more deliberate in who they hire by having a tactical plan to attract and retain the most qualified people in an unpredictable global market. Through the process of developing a conceptual framework model, this paper aims to present three strategic foresight competencies required for recruiters to match people to jobs. Also, this conceptual analysis will argue the need for recruiters to possess a strategic mindset to attract and hire the most qualified people to an organization. Furthermore, discuss the implications of recruiters who lack strategic foresight competencies. The practice of strategic foresight is now a requirement for recruiters to become cognizant of internal and external factors such as competitive behavior, technological change, political and economic conditions and human capital, which can influence their approach to matching people to jobs. Overall, when recruiters match talent based on the company’s strategic drivers rather than blindly fill open positions without a tactical plan, organizations can better achieve its performance potential.

The article is devoted to the conceptual issues of university leadership formation and ensuring the competitiveness of universities. It is determined that educational leadership is becoming an integral part of the competitiveness of the countries in the world in the context of modern globalization. Ensuring university leadership requires new management approaches, guidelines and mechanisms in the context of global transformations. The factors that cause changes in approaches to strategic management of universities, which require constant monitoring of their strategy, change of vision and most importantly, assessment of the effectiveness of achieving strategic objectives. With the help of the systemic-structural analysis, the essence and basic indicators of a modern university competitiveness at different levels (regional, national, global) are determined. It is pointed out that the main effective tool for assessing the competitive position of universities, in particular as educational leaders, is a balanced scorecard. A model of a balanced scorecard of the university with a set of key indicators is introduced in four blocks, including finance, staff, customers (service customers) and internal processes. With the help of comparative analysis, each component is characterized and studied, which enables to identify the main factors that hinder the achievement of leadership positions by universities, in particular at the national level. The generalized results of the analysis are reflected in the formed matrix of the balanced scorecards according to key indicators in the context of providing competitive advantages and gaining leadership positions at the national and global levels. The offered scorecard clearly demonstrates the existing results and challenges in achieving leadership positions by universities at the national level, which will allow them to adjust and effectively develop strategic directions in the future, securing sustainable competitive advantages and leadership in the global market of educational services.

The demand for professionals prepared to assume strategic positions such as that of controller makes it fundamental that concepts and attributions proper to the function are known by future professionals who will exercise them. In this way, this study aims to verify the students' perception in Accounting Sciences about the responsibilities of Controllership and the role of the Controller in organizations. For this, the definitions and attributions pertinent to the area of control were defined as Borineli (2006). The data, collected from 233 undergraduate students of accounting sciences from 10 universities in Santa Catarina, were evaluated through descriptive linear regression analysis and statistical techniques such as mean analysis, Kruskal-Wallis test of independent samples and non-parametric test sample. The results indicated that there is agreement that the control functions are related to operational activities. However, higher averages were found in the issues that related control to more strategic management activities. This indicates that there is already a perception on the part of undergraduates in the accounting sciences that the controllership has assumed an increasingly strategic position in the organizations.

The article proposes the using of a marketing strategic analysis tool ‒ the GE / McKinsey matrix. The matrix is based on two factors: «enterprise competitiveness» and «market attractiveness». The proposals were tested at the machine-building enterprise of Public JSC NASOSENERGOMASH (Sumy, Ukraine). The enterprise`s strategic state is determined; the marketing strategy of the enterprise development is proposed and a set of energy saving measures is formed. For formations of the marketing strategy of Ukrainian industrial enterprises it is necessary to conduct a strategic analysis of the market situation, determine marketing goals, develop a marketing plan aimed at effective strategy`s implementation. Energy saving measures of industrial enterprises should be aimed at: improving their energy security; reduction of harmful ecological action of production; increase their level of competitiveness. The mechanism for implementing the industrial enterprises marketing strategy should be able to refine (change) measures at all stages of its implementation (with further adjustment or development of a new marketing strategy). Therefore, in the strategy’s formation of an important step is to monitor its implementation in order to study the effectiveness of the choice of the chosen marketing strategy. The strategic matrix models the system of relations between the given enterprise`s marketing factors and indicators of market attractiveness. The obtained results allow to form a enterprises marketing strategy. The GE/McKinsey matrix allowed to determine the strategic position of Public JSC NASOSENERGOMASH on ratings of its potential competitiveness (horizontal axis) and market attractiveness (vertical axis). Competitiveness indicator is a list of the enterprise competitive positions (internal resources). The market attractiveness considers the absolute size of the market, its growth rate, capacity, pricing mechanism, competitive forces, etc. The paper uses a quantitative evaluation method (scoring method) and a modelling method (matrix method). The methods are common, easy to use and relevant. Their comprehensive use allowed to solve the research tasks. The work`s results for Ukrainian industrial enterprises are: the strategic actions formation to increase their competitiveness; providing recommendations on the organization of an efficient system of their energy saving.

AbstractThis study aims to evaluate the financial performance of Satuan Pendidikan Kerjasama X, a privately-owned Education Operation Unit in Jakarta. The growing amount of SPK schools in Jakarta demands a good competitive strategy with regards to cost leadership and product differentiation to better position the school in the market. The problem in this study is the absence of an evaluation method to assess the effectiveness of the implemented strategy and this research attempts to use Strategic Variance Analysis (SVA) to evaluate the change in the school’s operating income between the period of 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 academic year in the context of growth, price recovery, productivity and capacity underutilization components. This research was designed using a single case study with a mixed-method approach. The data used are primary data collected from interviews and document analysis (in the form of the school’s financial data). Data analysis was conducted using descriptive qualitative analysis approach. The study indicates that the growth, price-recovery, productivity and capacity underutilization components are showing unfavourable results. The declining student number, the increase of teachers’ remuneration and fee discount are the main causes of the decrease in operating income, while 77% of operating income drop comes from productivity component. It shows that the focused differentiation strategy implemented has not shown effective results and the school needs to increase its cost efficiency by considering the results shown by SVA in preparing for the upcoming budgeting. Keywords: Competitive Strategy; Financial Performance; Strategic Variance Analysis; Education Operation UnitAbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi kinerja Keuangan pada Satuan Pendidikan Kerjasama (SPK) X, sebuah sekolah swasta internasional yang beroperasi di daerah Jakarta. Berkembangnya jumlah sekolah SPK di Jakarta menuntut adanya strategi kompetitif yang bagus dalam hal efisiensi biaya dan diferensiasi produk untuk memposisikan sekolah lebih baik dalam pasar. Masalah dalam studi ini adalah ketiadaan metode penilaian efektivitas strategi yang diimplementasikan dan penelitian ini berusaha untuk menggunakan Strategic Variance Analysis (SVA) untuk mengevaluasi perubahan pada pendapatan usaha sekolah di antara periode tahun ajaran 2017-2018 dan 2018-2019 dalam konteks komponen pertumbuhan, pemulihan harga, produktivitas dan utilisasi kapasitas. Penelitian ini dirancang sebagai studi kasus dengan pendekatan metode campuran. Data yang digunakan adalah data primer yang diperoleh dari wawancara dan analisis data keuangan sekolah. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan descriptive qualitative analysis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan komponen pertumbuhan, pemulihan harga, produktivitas dan utilisasi kapasitas tidak memuaskan. Penurunan jumlah siswa, peningkatan gaji guru dan pemberian diskon adalah penyebab utama penurunan pendapatan usaha dan 77% dari perubahan pendapatan usaha berasal dari komponen produktivitas sehingga dapat disimpulkan strategi diferensiasi terfokus yang diterapkan tidak menunjukkan hasil yang efektif dan sekolah perlu meningkatkan efisiensi biaya dengan mempertimbangkan hasil yang diperoleh dari SVA untuk penyusunan anggaran berikutnya.Kata kunci: Strategi Kompetitif; Kinerja Keuangan; Strategic Variance Analysis; Satuan Pendidikan Kerjasama.

The innovation-oriented activity of enterprises is vital to the formation of competitive positions of the national economy on the world scene. Moreover, the importance of innovation is due to the complex modern economic conditions. Because of the sanctions from developed countries, it is necessary to increase production activities within the country in order to meet domestic demand, as well as to improve cooperation with the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union and Southeast Asia. The study focuses on strategic planning and management of high-tech developments and innovative technical solutions. The authors predicted the financing of science in Russia until 2030. The paper uses comparative analysis, systematization, induction, and deduction. Russia has developed a positive trend in financing the R&D sphere until 2030, which will improve its position in the global competitiveness rating. These findings can be used by managers of enterprises with innovation activities, by authorities regulating innovation activities in Russia, and by specialists in the field of innovation.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse how changes in a set of structural design variables (i.e. liaison position, networked design, innovation teams and work teams) affect the creation of new knowledge within organizations. The enablers intention, autonomy, fluctuation and creative chaos, redundancy, variety, and trust and commitment, taken from Nonaka's framework, are used as intermediate variables. Design/methodology/approach – A sample of 167 large Spanish companies was used to empirically test a general relational model. Findings – The analysis yielded two main conclusions. First, the relationship between structural variables and enablers, and, second, the relationship of enablers with knowledge creation emerged as highly relevant for knowledge creation in organizations. Research limitations/implications – A major limitation of this study was the relatively small number of variables used to define organizational structure. In reality, a large number of variables combine to create organizational structure, yet this study only included four: liaison position, networked design, innovation teams and work teams. A further limitation is the importance of the organizational context itself, which was not addressed in this study. Practical implications – This research has yielded findings that can help firms to understand and appreciate the changes that may occur in certain organizational design variables that affect knowledge creation. Equally, this research shows that knowledge creation has the potential to act as a catalyst for innovation, and may consequently drive change within the firm. Originality/value – Despite a long tradition of research into organizations and the ways in which these entities create knowledge, the literature requires enhancing through the publication of articles that provide a deeper knowledge of the context and tools that aid knowledge creation. The novel approach adopted in the current study verified whether certain variables related to organization design (i.e. liaison positions, networked design, innovation teams and work teams) exert a relevant influence on knowledge creation.

The purpose of this article was to demonstrate that companies which compete within dynamic industries do not only adopt a single strategy. Instead, they pursue a number of strategies focusing on the value net rather than on the value chain. We carried out a survey with 47 event-planning firms based in the City of Sao Paulo and we have discovered five distinct groups of firms pursuing different strategies. Our findings support our hypothesis for the searched companies and also demonstrate how the Delta Model by Hax and Wilde II (2001) is useful to explain companies’ strategic configuration. Particularly within the event industry, we have observed that companies are migrating to strategies based upon the value net. This study contributes to managing approaches concerning the challenges faced by event firms when learning how to adopt different strategic positions based upon both the value network and the value chain, in order to obtain and sustain competitive advantages in dynamic markets. http://dx.doi.org/10.5585/riae.v9i1.1658

Full textAbstract:
Due to the globalization of the economy, there has been great competition in the business sector. The basic human desire to challenge new limits and capture as much market as it is possible has given a new dimension to the concept of marketing - brand positioning. To position a brand requires making choices; whereas having a position means people will prefer a brand over another. A brand can be positioned in several ways: offering a specific benefit, targeting a specific segment, price or distribution. Despite the fact that positioning is considered by both academics and practitioners to be one of the key elements of modern marketing management, it is surprising to uncover general paucity of consumers/customers derived studies regarding brand positioning strategies. This article analyzes the market position held by a competitive set of brands in the hair oil market through a comparison of cognitive and conative perceptions. Cognition will be identified by trailing a factor analytic adaptation of importance performance analysis. In turn, conation will be gauged by stated intent of the consumers to purchase the hair oil brands under study. The alignment of the results from these techniques will help in identifying the position of leadership held by a brand in the hair oil market. The marketers, in order to strategically place their brands in today’s competitive market, need to identify the attributes on which they need to focus and those of paramount importance for the consumers. This method of positioning analysis offers a practical means for present-day marketers faced with the challenge of identifying one or few brands from their diverse and multi-attributed brand range that could be developed to differentiate their brand in a meaningful way to consumers.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose This paper aims to explore how chief executive officers (CEOs) and C-suite marketing executives (chief marketing officers [CMOs], chief customer officers [CCOs], chief branding officers [CBOs], etc.) talk about marketing concepts to better understand how marketers can more effectively articulate their value and increase their strategic influence within the firm. Design/methodology/approach Artificial intelligence-enabled computerized text analysis was used to identify and weight keywords from 266 CEO and C-suite marketing executive interviews. Custom marketing concept dictionaries were used to gauge overall marketing focus. Findings The analysis revealed opportunities for C-suite marketers to align specific marketing concepts with that of CEOs for increased strategic influence. Comparisons between C-suite marketing roles showed that CMOs are more focused on marketing strategy than specialized C-suite marketing positions, such as CCO and CBO. This points to a potential decrease in strategic impact for marketing executives dependent on the specialization of their position. Research limitations/implications Using IBM Watson’s black-box artificial intelligence may limit the ability to replicate results from the content analysis; however, the results identify important ways that marketing executives can use to increase their ability to articulate their value within the firm. Practical implications C-suite marketing executives who want to increase the strategic alignment of their role with their firm must pay close attention to the marketing concepts they talk about, and how those align with their CEO’s marketing knowledge. The creation of specialized C-suite marketing roles may unintentionally limit the strategic thinking and firm-level impact of marketers. Originality/value This paper represents the first use of artificial intelligence-enabled computerized text analysis to explore and compare executive speech acts to help increase marketing’s influence in the firm. It is also the first to explore differences in marketing concept use between C-suite marketing roles.

Purpose The purpose of the paper is to highlight the use of equity participation as an emerging strategic collaboration response to the turbulent conditions caused by digital disruption in the UK broadcast media industry. Design/methodology/approach The research is based on quantitative content analysis of 169 reported instances of strategic collaboration in the period 2010-2016. Findings The findings show that equity participation, as a collaborative strategy in the UK media industry, has emerged to become the predominant form of collaboration, compared to traditional forms of collaboration. The findings show that, for equity participation, a majority of stated motivations of both partners are to gain access to complementary capabilities and to reduce barriers to market entry. For the lead partner, this form of collaboration provides the capabilities to allow the other, often smaller partner, to maintain creative autonomy and agility while gaining access to the resources, content, talent and people expertise that strengthens both partners’ strategic positions. Originality/value For strategy managers, the research highlights the benefits of equity participation as a collaborative strategy in terms of dynamic response and risk-sharing, based on an industry experiencing turbulent conditions as a result of digital disruption.

This research examines the changes that electronic information technologies have caused on power within organizations. Based on the strategic contingencies theory of intraorganizational power, a model of organizational power is developed and tested. Major features of the model include a technology index, subunit power variables, environmental variables, and bases of power variables (structure, coping with uncertainty, centrality, and substitutability). According to canonical correlation analyses, changes in library automation and changes in the environment are related to changes in both the bases of power variables and power itself. The bases of power, in turn, are related to changes in the power of the library as measured by the percent of the institutional budget allocated to the library, the number of library positions, and the perception of power.

This paper proposes a SWOT-FANP (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats – fuzzy analytic network process) analysis, together with the grand strategy matrix method (GSM) to deal with the multiple-criteria decision-making problem of location selection for a second tier city in China. This hybrid method can not only combine both qualitative and quantitative information and utilize fuzzy logic to eliminate vagueness, subjectivity, and imprecision, it can also clearly represents the competitive position of second-tier cities on a the quadrant coordinate to help an enterprise choose a strategy for development. To this end, I empirically chose a multinational pharmaceutical enterprise (MNE) as an illustrative example. The results reveal that Suzhou and Chongqing cities are in the best positions in the competition as a result of having external opportunities for development and internal competing strength. Moreover, the MNE could adopt a niche-focus strategy for the market by focusing on specific ailments to which people in Chinese communities are vulnerable to strengthen their competitive strengths. This study demonstrates and validates that such an enhanced methodology is viable and highly capable of providing enriched insights regarding strategic decision-making management in complex real-world situations.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to analyze the medical education strategic planning to align with international best practices in university governance.Design/methodology/approachResearch methods used: content analysis, analysis of modern concepts of strategic planning in universities. The study used two main methodological approaches: analysis of medical education governance and analysis of strategic planning in universities.FindingsApplied models of educational governance at most universities are not always effective in achieving their goals. A strategy is a complex and potentially powerful tool, with the help of which a modern university can withstand the constantly changing environment. By using such a tool, the university can gain prestige, leading positions and recognition in international scientific and educational spheres. Therefore, strategy and strategic planning deserve close attention as a higher education governance tool, suitable not only for a medical college but also for a wide range of other types of social organizations.Originality/valueEducation is a policy priority of any state determining the state’s level of modern socio-economic development and building a productive workforce. The quality of human resources primarily depends on the system of higher education, which is carried out by universities. Foreign countries’ experience shows that prosperity of the state and society is impossible without a healthy nation. Improving the quality of people’s lives depends, in particular, on health education, so “medical education governance” is how we prepare personnel, which must be properly trained and qualified to provide high-quality health care services. Kazakhstan medical universities are increasingly becoming players in the medical education market, but the governance systems of universities are lagging behind. The success of universities largely depends on the results of their strategic planning, which is why special attention should be given to strategic planning analysis. Despite the importance of analyzing medical education governance, there has been insufficient research in this area in Kazakhstan.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the analysis of relations between Ukraine and the People's Republic of China on the conformity of bilateral relations to the declared status of strategic partnership. The author notes that both states actively use the instrument of strategic partnership in foreign policy activities, while the Chinese practice is characterized by a more balanced approach. Key criteria for the analysis of interstate relations for its conformity to the strategic partnership are highlighted. The features of bilateral interaction in political, economic, military-technical and humanitarian spheres are shown. The author notes that the mutual recognition of the strategic nature of Ukrainian-Chinese interaction at the highest level, the existence of a normative-legal base and the mechanism of cooperation, the positive upward dynamics of bilateral contacts fully meet the criteria of strategic partnership. True, the political sphere, despite its impartial character and official declaration of support for territorial integrity by the parties to each other, is marked by the lack of coordination of positions among partners on international issues, which is of great importance in the context of Russian aggression against Ukraine. The economic aspect, despite the presence of mutual interest, is marked by a significant untapped potential, which is due to the structural weakness of Ukraine and its low position in the priorities of China's foreign policy in the post-Soviet space and CEE, in particular, given the great importance for China of relations with Russia, the absence of a comprehensive strategy in Ukrainian side for developing relations with the Middle Kingdom. The humanitarian direction is also characterized by a significant untapped potential. As a result, the author offers a number of recommendations on increasing the effectiveness of the implementation of the concept of strategic partnership in relations between Ukraine and China.

This paper aims to examine the influence of macroeconomic instability on the microeconomic environment, especially on financial strategy after the application of strategic pricing policy by providers of logistics services and make recommendations for providers who use pricing as a marketing tool. Special attention is paid to enhancing their competitive position in times of economic crisis. The research is based on an analysis of the situation during the 2008–2009 economic crisis. It is hypothesized that the number of providers who applied a strategic pricing policy after its culmination in 2010 was higher than in 2008 (shortly before the onset of the crisis). The conclusions derived are then transferred to the period of the 2020 coronavirus economic recession under the assumption of the same analogical characteristics of both periods. The paper does not speculate – its purpose is to present a thorough and complex analysis of the situation by employing a wide range of statistical instruments, thereby attaining results of a very high level of statistical reliability. The study has the potential to be a valuable contribution to the literature in its respective field, especially during global anti-Covid measures, which makes the theme of strengthening competitive positions of logistics service providers very topical.

While the research analysis technique is done by data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study concluded that gender equality in the promotion of structural positions in West Java Province had not been realized optimally because the competency, qualifications, and work behavior of female civil servants are considered lower than men. Various servants faced by female civil servants for good promotion internal factors, namely the dual role and lack of motivation of women to progress, also obstacles to external factors stemming from the family, community, and organizational culture that are not gendered responsive. In addition to competence, qualifications, and work behavior, other considerations were found for the promotion of the position of a female civil servant, namely: multiple roles, type of work and location of assignments; this made women less likely to get strategic position promotions.

The results of the study concluded that gender equality in the promotion of structural positions in West Java Province had not been realized optimally because the competency, qualifications, and work behavior of female civil servants are considered lower than men. Various servants faced by female civil servants for good promotion internal factors, namely the dual role and lack of motivation of women to progress, also obstacles to external factors stemming from the family, community, and organizational culture that are not gendered responsive. In addition to competence, qualifications, and work behavior, other considerations were found for the promotion of the position of a female civil servant, namely: multiple roles, type of work and location of assignments; this made women less likely to get strategic position promotions.

Full textAbstract:
Consistent socio-economic development is one of the strategic goals of the European Union (EU) functioning. The research results presented in the literature focus mainly on the comparison of the position occupied by certain EU countries with respect to other member countries. However, it is also important to address the issue of the EU consistency and to assess the extent of development disparities between individual member countries. The aim of the study is a comparative analysis of the disproportions between the EU countries in the area of sustainable development. Sustainable development indicators for the years 2008—2014 available in the Eurostat database were used in the paper. A dynamic version of the relative taxonomy proposed by Stanisław Wydymus was used in the study. The analysis showed that there are strong disproportions in the development of the EU member countries — it turned out that in every geographical region of Europe there are countries with high positions in the ranking, as well as those with low positions. The leader in the whole analysed period was Sweden, with the last place taken by Malta.

Full textAbstract:
This paper explores how South Korea and India have taken positions between the United States and the People’s Republic of China over diverse foreign policy issues. By adopting dual engagement and strategic ambiguity as hedging strategies, both regional powers reduce their vulnerability to the influence and pressure of the two great powers. Thanks to their strategic importance and prominence in regional politics enhanced by such strategies, South Korea and India can independently pursue their foreign policy preferences to a great extent. The analysis of voting behavior of these regional powers in the United Nations General Assembly between 1991 and 2018 confirms our expectations.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present the findings from a discourse model that was developed for an empirical study of a strategic change program. Design/methodology/approach – The perspective informing the discourse model is that discursive processes are central to strategic change in organizations, and that strategic change works by constructing a particular organizational reality in which the possibilities for change are preconditioned. This perspective offers a discursive understanding of how strategic change is formed, articulated, engaged, and contested by managers and employees. Findings – The paper reports the findings from a study in which the discourse model was applied to a strategic change program in a Bank. The findings demonstrate the inter-discursive nature of strategic change in showing how different levels of discourse, from the grand to the local, were intertwined in an organizational and situated context. Research limitations/implications – This paper builds on the small but growing body of empirical work that studies organizational strategy as a discourse. In this paper it has been argued that discursive processes are central to strategic change in organizations - central to the understanding and the practice of how strategic change is formed, articulated, and engaged by managers and employees. This argument was informed by a post-structuralist definition and articulation of language and an understanding of language as discourse in organizations. Practical implications – The paper demonstrates the central role of language and discourse in the formation of a strategic change program. The findings reported in the paper show the importance of strategy discourse in providing a framework for strategic change, for mobilizing change in an organization, and for legitimizing the change imperative. Social implications – A critique of the management of emotional intelligence is set out. The centrality of employee identity and subject position to the processes of change is illustrated. Originality/value – The discourse model made possible an investigation of how a program of strategic change was formed through the discursive framing of organizational reality.
