Abstract:
A key issue in assessing Australia's compet1t1veness is the extent to which Australia's arbitration system has produced an industrial relations climate that promotes decentralised policies that are designed to lead to greater flexibility and productivity at the workplace. This issue will be examined by this thesis by focusing on union acceptance of enterprise bargaining. A survey of union officials in Queensland is used to test acceptance and commitment to enterprise bargaining and its perceived ability to deliver increased flexibility and productivity at the workplace level.

Affärssystem har blivit allt vanligare i organisationer och framhålls av systemleverantörer som ett verktyg för att öka organisationers flexibilitet.

Få empiriska studier har genomförts vad gäller affärssystems påverkan på organisationers flexibilitet och forskningen är splittrad vad gäller affärssystems påverkan på flexibiliteten för organisationer.

This thesis examines relationships between strategic alignment, performance, and strategic Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) flexibility. We have used different strategy perspectives to form our strategic alignment construct and chosen several significant variables of these constructs based on the literature. The alignment measurement methods were moderation and profile deviation, and several financial values have been used to form the performance construct. Using empirical data, we have showed that enterprise systems’ alignment with the business strategy can explain the change in their perfo

One of the current research trends in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) involves examining the critical factors for its successful implementation.

Therefore, this study explores a combination system, made up of an ERP and informality, intended to provide organisations with efficient and flexible performance simultaneously. In addition, this research analyses the benefits and challenges of using the system. The research was based on socio-technical system (STS)

Today, flexibility is widely concemed as the key capability an organisation should possess due to the fast change of business and technology environment (Haeckel 1999; Golden and Powell 2000).

All of these demands, in turn, feed through to the computer-systems that modem organisations rely upon (CBDi Forum 2001).
