Modeling the effectiveness of employee compensation by evaluating the relationship with the factors of the labor intensity of products, work experience, and incentive payments based on a linear model of multiple regression on the main components. In this paper, several methods are utilized, including the classical least squares method, variation inflation factor, principal component method. It is expected with theoretical representations that the labor intensity of products reduces the efficiency of employee remuneration, the experience and incentive payments in the General Fund of remuneration positively contribute to the increase in the efficiency of employee remuneration. The expediency of applying linear regression to the main components for measuring internal corporate factors of the employee remuneration system is shown since the linear model of multiple regression can give incorrect estimates due to collinear regressors. A methodological way to modeling employee remuneration effectiveness based on a regression on individual determinants of the motivation and remuneration system has been developed. The developed methodological means to modeling employee remuneration effectiveness has been tested on a poultry enterprise's data for the period from January 2015 to March 2020. The article's main conclusions can be used in the scientific and practical activities of agricultural enterprises in measuring and evaluating the effectiveness of using financial resources to pay.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose This paper aims to develop a corporate financial distress model for Indian listed companies using financial and non-financial parameters by using a conditional logit regression technique. Design/methodology/approach This study used a sample of 96 companies, of which 48 were declared sick between 2014 and 2016. The sample was divided into a training sample and a testing sample. The variables for the study included nine financial variables and four non-financial variables. The models were developed using financial variables alone as well as combining financial and non-financial variables. The performance of the test sample was measured with confusion matrix, sensitivity, specificity, precision, F-measure, Types 1 and 2 error. Findings The results show that models with financial variables had a prediction accuracy of 85.19 and 86.11 per cent, whereas models with a combination of financial and non-financial variables predict with comparatively better accuracy of 89.81 and 91.67 per cent. Net asset value, long-term debt–equity ratio, return on investment, retention ratio, age, promoters holdings pledged and institutional holdings are the critical financial and non-financial predictors of financial distress. Originality/value This study contributes to the financial distress prediction literature in different ways. First, there have been, until now, few studies in the area of financial distress prediction in the Indian context. Second, business failure studies in the past have used only financial variables. The authors have combined financial and non-financial variables in their model to increase predictive ability. Thirdly, in most earlier studies, variable institutional holdings were found to affect financial distress negatively. In contrast, the authors found this parameter to be positively significant to the financial distress of the company. Finally, there have hitherto been few studies that have used promoter holdings pledged (PHP) or pledge ratio. The authors found this variable to influence business failure positively.

Full textAbstract:
The answer to the challenging question, “Should one either invest in tangible resources or intangible resources/capabilities?” is still fragmented. In prior studies, more emphasis is given to tangible resources, while intangible resources have comparatively received minor attention, despite their significant role in the success of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Particularly the role of the intangible skills; intellectual capital, financial literacy (FL), and business experience (BE) in resource acquisition and sustainable competitive performance has missed in prior studies. Grounded on the resource-based view and upper echelon theory, this study examines the role of intellectual capital in sustainable competitive performance with a mediating role of resource acquisition. This research also assesses the moderating role of financial literacy and business experience between intellectual capital and resource acquisition. Data are collected through structured questionnaires from 384 owners/managers of Pakistani SMEs. After analyzing the data through structural equation modeling (SEM), the results indicate that intellectual capital helps managers in acquiring valuable resources, which in turn enhance sustainable competitive performance. Resource acquisition partially mediates the relation between intellectual capital and sustainable competitive performance. Financial literacy is a significant predictor of resource acquisition, but it does not significantly moderate the relation between intellectual capital and sustainable competitive performance. Business experience significantly boosts the acquisition of resources and strengthens the path between intellectual capital and resource acquisition. SMEs should encourage their managers to acquire unique, rare, and immutable external resources in the turbulent markets.

Financial behavior is a means by which a person treats, manages, and uses available financial resources. This research aims to determine the effect of financial literacy and the use of financial technology on financial satisfaction through financial behavior as an intervening factor. Data were collected from 112 economics teachers using purposive proportional random sampling technique. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with AMOS 26 software was used to analyze the data. The results of this research indicate that financial literacy has no effect on financial behavior, but the use of financial technology has an effect on financial behavior, financial literacy and the use of financial technology has an effect on satisfaction finance. It was also found that financial literacy and the use of financial technology were mediated by financial behavior. Finally, use of financial technology had no effect on financial satisfaction through financial behavior as an intervening variable. These results have useful practical and theoretical implications.

The article proposes a methodology for assessing the sufficiency of financial resources in an emergency. The purpose of the study is to develop a methodology based on the method of simulation modeling to assess the sufficiency of resources and the sustainability of an agricultural enterprise in the event of an emergency. This set of methods for assessing the availability of enterprise financial resources for overcoming emergencies was implemented using algorithms for simulation of enterprise financial flows and their assessment in the program for investment calculations Project Expert 7.19. The program allows you to build simulation models of an enterprise, regardless of their industry and specificity. With the help of this software complex, it is possible not only to build a simulation model of an enterprise, but also to carry out its statistical evaluation. Together with the proposed method of detailing the initial data of annual financial and economic documents, this set of methods is a powerful tool for building and evaluating simulation models of agricultural and other enterprises, taking into account fluctuations in cash flow values during the year. Thus, the accuracy of the estimates obtained is significantly increased in comparison with methods based on the analysis of relative indicators or coefficients.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. In today conditions of uncertainty businesses face the problem of finding tools to maintain their positions, to ensure stable, continuous, efficient activity. In achieving the efficiency of activity an important function is performed by financial support, which plays an exceptional role both in the implementation of operational activities and in the implementation of investments according to the development strategy of the enterprise. Given this, it is necessary to develop the system of mechanisms of enterprise financial resources formation on the conceptual approach providing its effective functioning. Purpose. Development of mechanisms of enterprise financial resources formation in the context of their effective functioning based on the conceptual approach, which includes principles, objectives, tasks and directly mechanisms of financial provision management of the enterprise. Method (methodology). It is used general scientific methods, in particular, the analysis and synthesis, the method of modeling, graphic method. Results. The article investigates groups of financial resources formation sources. As a result, on the basis of the conceptual approach, the system of mechanisms has been developed: the mechanism of management of own financial resources formation, the mechanism of mobilization of enterprise financial resources from borrowed sources. Because the formation approach of financial security should be balanced, with an optimal combination of own and borrowed funds, mechanisms are developed as constituent elements of the concept of improving the management of financial support of the enterprise. Its main goal is defined: ensuring effective management decisions to attract sufficient financial resources to maximize profits and increase the market value of the enterprise. The article proposes a division of internal factors of production development into three groups: factors of resource support of production, factors that ensure the desired level of economic and technical development of the company, factors that ensure the commercial efficiency of industrial and economic activity of the enterprise. The direction of further research is determined by the development of methods for assessing the effectiveness of financial support for enterprise development.

This study investigated the construct validity of the Scale of Economic Abuse (SEA). Evidence of construct validity was assessed by examining the relationship between the SEA and an economic outcome, financial resources, as perceived by participants. A sample of 93 women with abusive partners were recruited from a domestic violence organization and interviewed 3 times over a period of 4 months. Hierarchical linear modeling was used to examine the relationship between economic abuse and financial resources over time, controlling for the effects of physical and psychological abuse. The findings indicate that baseline economic abuse was significantly related to baseline financial resources, and within-woman change in economic abuse was significantly predicted change in financial resources over time. The findings suggest that the SEA measures what it is intended to measure: an economic dimension of intimate partner abuse that has damaging economic consequences.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. There is a significant number of definitions of the term “financial resources” in the scientific literature, but, unfortunately, a single approach to it hasn’t been formed yet. Financial resources in housing construction have their own characteristics, as monetary settlement operations carried out through a financial intermediary may involve a phased investment and repayment of debts and require a true reflection of financial transactions in financial and management accounting, reporting. There are many problems in construction related to the freezing of residential buildings due to lack of financial resources; underestimation of the market value of square meters of residential buildings; incomplete reflection of business transactions on the receipt and use of financial resources. All these problems are directly related to organizational and economic instruments, especially in terms of financial and management accounting and reporting, and need to be addressed. On the other hand, the constant change of the legal framework for accounting and reporting, crisis and inflation processes in Ukraine, the emergence of new technologies in construction make new demands on financial resources. The purpose of the article is to form one’s own vision of the concepts of financial resources in general and in housing construction through the study of organizational and economic instruments, as well as their reflection in the system of financial and management accounting, reporting of construction companies. Methods. The article uses general and special methodological research, in particular: induction and deduction – on the formation and improvement of scientific terminology of the concept of “financial resources” and “financial resources in housing”; monographic – to consider the features of housing construction; graphical – to assess the dynamics of the amount of financial resources used for housing construction in Ukraine for 2010–2019; analysis and synthesis – to study the problem of accounting and content in housing; comparison – to identify financial and management accounting, consciousness, as one of the main organizational and economic tools. Results. The own definition of the concepts “financial resources” and “financial resources in housing construction” is formulated. Organizational and economic tools for solving key problems of formation and use of financial resources in housing construction are revealed and their interrelation with the methodology and organization of financial and management accounting, reporting is established. As a result, proposals have been made to improve the process of financial and management accounting, reporting, as well as strengthen the confidence of investors and individual customers to invest financial resources in housing. Perspectives. Further research may relate to the features of the reflection of the relevant amounts of financial resources in housing construction in the accounts, in management, reporting, as well as in the current financial, economic and regulatory work with modeling various practical situations aimed at improving the formation and use of such resources during the construction of individual and apartment buildings.

Full textAbstract:
The main objective of this article is to contribute empirically to the understanding of the impact that eco-innovation has on firms’ financial performance within the framework of the resources-based view. Specifically, eco-innovation is measured by using eco-innovative activities and financial resources applied to eco-innovation to argue that the identification and measurement of certain resources of firms allow companies that are particularly active in investing in eco-innovation to be more competitive. Furthermore, the analysis attempts to ascertain whether firms that own green patents and other characteristics exhibit different level of financial performance than firms without registered green patents. The empirical partial least squares structural equation modeling results indicate a positive relationship between the investment of resources and the financial performance of eco-innovative firms. The effects of involving managers in eco-innovative processes as an environmental capability of firms are also tested.

Full textAbstract:
The specificity of ensuring the efficiency of the enterprise with financial resources, both own and borrowed, PJSC "Kyiv Confectionery Factory "Roshen" as a case study during 2017-2018 is presented in the article. Currently, the ability to finance its own activities is an important factor for the enterprise functioning. The possibility of providing the enterprise with financial resources is a necessary condition for its successful operation. The future strategy of the enterprise will depend on the type and method of providing financial resources. An assessment of the financial security of the studied enterprise with financial resources based on the analysis of the financial indicators and financial ratios results dynamics is carried out. The main place in business is occupied by income and profits generated from own and borrowed financial resources. Therefore, this study reveals the degree of dependence of the enterprise on borrowed funds and its own capital availability is analyzed. The analysis of changes in financial results and financial ratios at the studied enterprise was carried out, for most of them the positive dynamics is observed. The identified factor is positive for the financial condition of the enterprise and for the implementation of its effective financial and economic activities in the future. The main opportunities and threats to the financial condition of the enterprise in the future on the basis of the obtained results on its financial resources are identified. The main ways to eliminate the threats of a certain financial danger in the activities of the studied enterprise based on the application of modern theory based on economic-mathematical modeling Value-at-Risk are presented which makes it possible to predict the main indicators of financial activity of the enterprise in the short term.

Full textAbstract:
This study proposes an e-service resource bundle (E-SRB) as an antecedent of electronic service channel (e-channel) success in small retail service providers. The E-SRB indicates a collection of three resources: e-market acuity, e-IT competence, and e-service agility. Given the interdependence of these three resources in delivering quality e-services, the authors hypothesize about their complementarity and its positive effect on performance. The results of this structural equation modeling using survey data show support for the proposed hypotheses, demonstrating that the E-SRB positively influences e-channel performance. The performance impact is not limited to perceived financial performance but extends to self-reported dollar-based sales and profits. These results have theoretical implications when it comes to linking e-service quality to financial performance. They also carry managerial implications for small-scale e-retailing, where limited resources can seriously impede the full use of the e-channel. One of these implications concerns what resources are necessary and how to allocate them in order to improve an e-service system. In the end, this study suggests that managers should understand the interrelationships that might exist among resources that collectively influence performance.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to enhance understanding on supply chain partnership strategy-environment context co-alignment and its relationship with performance. Using the environment-strategy-performance view framework and the supporting relational perspective, the study develops a model and hypotheses to understand how supply chain partnership strategy as a response to co-align with operating context elements may impact operational and overall firm performance. Additionally, the study investigates the interrelationships among partnership strategy elements. Design/methodology/approach Data for testing the hypothesized relationships in the conceptual model was collected through a survey of managers in the Hoover’s database of US manufacturing firms. The survey sample included 115 responses from a wide variety of manufacturing forms. Findings Findings support the conventional wisdom relating collaboration to operational and financial performance. While product complexity associates with the “building block” resources, resource complementarity and resource specificity, technological turbulence relates significantly with only resource specificity. Interestingly, competitive intensity associates differentially with the resources – positive with resource specificity and negatively with resource complementarity. The results also reveal mediating influences of resource specificity and collaboration. Research limitations/implications The research findings have to be considered in context. The moderate size, wide industry/firm diversity and robust research design notwithstanding, and the cross-firm nature can potentially obscure causal linkages. Besides, more comprehensive insights could be obtained by modeling the co-alignment of strategy with other factors in the operating context such as industry munificence, and market unpredictability. Practical implications Firms derive operational and financial performance benefits from close collaboration with partners since the operational enhancements from such relationships have customer service implications. Besides, the synergistic interrelationships among strategic partnership resources and their eventual impact on operational and financial performance is highlighted suggesting that firms develop a proper mix of unique and complementing set of resources and leverage them through collaborative behaviors. Importantly, the results provide a framework for managers to understand the criticality of aligning their resources with contextual elements to realize enhanced operational efficiencies, customer service, and financial benefits. Originality/value Much of the evidence on the rent generation capabilities in supply chain partnerships is still anecdotal and extant empirical research lacks adequate explanation. Thus this study offers an initial strategic response framework for an appropriate co-alignment of partnership resources with environmental context factors to realize operational benefits and overall financial performance. The framework answers the critical question: does a supply chain partnership strategy that matches “fit” or co-aligns with its critical operating environment context realize better performance? Additionally, it unravels the interrelationships among strategic partnership resources.

Full textAbstract:
Accessing and exploiting organizational resources are essential capabilities for competitive sport organizations, particularly those engaged in motorsports, where teams lacking resources frequently dissolve. Corporate sponsorship represents a common method for resource acquisition, yet not all sponsorships equally benefit the sponsored organization. Sponsorship utility can be dependent on institutional dynamics such as league governance that produces competitive disparities. Through this study we extend the resource-based view to assert that sponsorships vary in their propensity to contribute to team survival, warranting prioritization in sponsorship strategy based on access to different sponsor resources. To empirically investigate the influence of a variety of sponsorships, survival analysis modeling was used to examine 40 years of corporate sponsorship of Formula One racing teams. One finding from the longitudinal analysis was that sponsorships offering financial or performance-based resources enhance team survival to a greater degree than operational sponsorships. However, such prioritization is subject to team experience, changes in institutional monetary allocation, and diminishing returns.

Over the years, technological progress has accelerated highly, and the speed, flexibility, human error reduction, and the ability to manage the process in real time have become more critical and required production companies to adapt production and business models according to the needs. The demand for real-time decision support systems adapted to these raising business needs is continuously growing. Nevertheless, businesses usually face challenges in identifying new indicators, data sources, and appropriate financial modeling methods to analyze them. This paper aims to define and summarize the main financial/economic forecasting methods for production companies in the context of Industry 4.0. Main findings show forecasting accuracy of up to 96% when combining economic and demand information, optimal forecasting period from 10 months to five years, more frequent use of soft indicators in forecasting, the relationship between company’s size and production planning. Four groups of indicators used in financial modeling, such as (I) production-related, (II) customers’ and demand-oriented, (III) industry-specific, and (IV) media information indicators, were separated. The analysis forms a suggestion for decision-makers to pay more attention to the forecasting object identification, indicators’ selection peculiarities, data collection possibilities, and the choice of appropriate methods of financial modeling.

Subject. The number of companies filing for bankruptcy is growing. More often, the reason relates to resource imbalance, which is manifested in the lack of capacity to build-up resources. One of the key drivers of growth and development of any modern company is the availability of capital, which determines its financial potential. Objectives. The purpose of the study is to develop a methodology for assessing the financial potential of a commercial organization (an industrial enterprise in particular), based on characteristics of its determining factors. Methods. I employ general scientific methods and techniques, like analysis, grouping, systematization, and modeling. Results. The proposed methodology for assessing the financial potential of an enterprise rests on a system of interrelated indicators. Each indicator characterizes a certain factor in the formation and destruction of financial potential. These indicators are expressed in relative units of measurement and reflect different aspects of organization's activities in terms of factors that shape its financial potential. Conclusions. The findings will help enrich the methodological tools of financial management of the organization, primarily when making decisions on investment and capital mobilization.

The study explores the relationship between intrapersonal resources (formal schooling, formal entrepreneurial education and training, and informal entrepreneurial training and education) and success of micro and small enterprises (MSEs). Using Structural Equation Modeling, the study tested the mediating role of entrepreneurial competence in this relationship on a sample of 303 women drawn from the tourism and hospitality sector. The results reveal that entrepreneurial competence plays a mediating role in the relationship between intrapersonal resources and enterprise success. The results also show that informal entrepreneurial training is important in complementing formal entrepreneurial training and education towards enterprise success. It is also shown that formal schooling has a weak relationship with entrepreneurial competence but has varying relationships with both financial and non-financial success.

We investigated the concurrent and prospective associations between financial stress and drinking during the transition to adulthood in the United States, drawing from two distinct stress and coping perspectives as competing explanations for the direction of associations: the Transactional Model of Stress and the Conservation of Resources (CoR) model. Because many emerging adults rely on continuing financial support from parents, we examined the role of parental support on these associations. We tested these associations using longitudinal structural equation modeling with data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health ( N = 9,026) collected at two time points: early emerging adulthood (ages 18–26) and 5 years later. Consistent with CoR, financial stress reduced concurrent drinking. Furthermore, parental financial support reduced adult children’s financial stress but increased drinking in early emerging adulthood. We discuss the findings in regard to facilitating the transition to adulthood.

Abstract There is limited research on who acts as household financial respondents (FR) for couples who are responding to surveys. The purpose of this study was to determine the amount of stability and change in FR, as well as predictors of FR status and change of FR status. Methodology: This study analyzed data from Health Retirement Study from 2006 to 2014. The sample comprised of 6,755 households of couples over the age of 50. Data were analyzed using Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM). Results: The results indicated that 18.13% households experienced one or more transitions of the financial respondent. Black non-Hispanics, males, those with higher education, earning a greater percent of the household’s income and those with higher cognitive ability were more likely to be the financial respondent than their counterparts. Higher depression (OR=1.22, p< .01) and lower cognitive ability (OR= 1.06, p<.01) were factors that predicted changes in the household’s financial respondent. Health (number of chronic conditions, self-rated health) and percentage of the household earnings are not significant in the change of financial respondent. Discussion: Change of respondent may result in differences in reporting of household financial resources in longitudinal studies. Changes in respondent may also be indicative of a more Egalitarian household, or serve as an early sign of changes in family dynamics or roles. As changes in mental health and cognitive ability may prompt a change of financial respondent, this highlights the importance of both spouses being financially literate and aware of the family’s economic resources, investments and obligations.

More specifically, this study investigates how intrapreneurship mediates the relationship between IC and financial performance.Design/methodology/approachData was collected using a structured questionnaire administered to a target sample of publicly-listed Iranian companies across a variety of sectors. Archival data supplemented the survey findings to capture financial performance. A structural equation modelling (SEM) approach, using LISREL, was used to assess the measurement and structural models.FindingsThe results supported the hypothesized associations among IC, intrapreneurship, and financial performance. Furthermore, the findings provided some evidence that IC is indirectly related to financial performance through the mediating role of intrapreneurship.Research limitations/implicationsThe focus on Iranian publicly listed companies limits the generalizability of results.Practical implicationsManagers need to align the company's strategic resources with other competencies such as intrapreneurial initiatives. The synthesis of knowledge resources and intrapreneurship can help organization to better organize, synchronize and support – i.e. “orchestrate” – their human and structural capital, improving the firm's social and innovation capital and eventually enhancing overall performance.Originality/valueTo our knowledge, this is the first study ever to explore the mediating role of intrapreneurship in the relationship between IC and financial performance from the resource orchestration lens.

This article paper investigates the effectiveness of innovation financing systems by examining the structural equation modeling (SEM) that imputes relationships among latent variables including innovation financing, technology innovation competency, financial performance and non-financial performance of innovative SMEs in Korea. It is identified that innovation financing increases not only technological innovation competency but also business performance of innovative SMEs in Korea. Meanwhile, innovation competency decreases financial performance of firms and increases non-financial performance. These findings are helpful to policy makers in developing countries which should allocate scarce resources efficiently for its economic growth. Providing innovation financing through technology appraisal to innovative SMEs has the potential to grow into one of the most efficient financial policies.

Abstract Using data from a survey of 1,099 families who have a child with Fragile X syndrome, we examined adaptation across 7 dimensions of family life: parenting knowledge, social support, social life, financial impact, well-being, quality of life, and overall impact. Results illustrate that although families report a high quality of life, they struggle with areas such as social support, social life, and parenting knowledge. Path analysis revealed that child and family factors play a role in adaptation, but family resources and social supports moderated their effect on quality of life, well-being, and overall impact. The interrelationship among multiple aspects of family life should be examined to improve family resiliency.

Subject. The article discusses the methodological apparatus for assessing how many financial resources are needed, and optimize their gradual consumption in high-tech production projects. Results of the projects can be forecasted only as a probable estimate, since there is great uncertainty due to a multitude of random factors. Objectives. The study aims to form the methodological apparatus to assess the amount of financial resources needed under risk and substantiate the reasonable strategy for consuming them in high-tech production projects within a given period of time. The apparatus is to allow for quick adjustments of the financing plan and estimation of project expenditures. Methods. We applied the comprehensive approach to planning and regulating trends in high-tech production costs, methods of economic and mathematical modeling and the probability theory. Results. We reviewed methods used to assess how many financial resources are needed through demand probability distribution laws. Based on them, we devised the interval technique for regulating cost trends so as to substantiate the reasonable strategy for the performance of projects with the desired probability within the given period of time. What distinguishes the interval technique is that it provides the overall vision of the period, during which the project will be performed, and the probability of the advanced prediction of a shortage or excess of financial resources. Conclusions and Relevance. The methodological apparatus proposed herein will facilitate the technological and economic evaluation of various options of high-tech production and choose those ones which ensure the best use of financial resources, quickly regulate the economic dynamism throughout the high-tech production phases in line with a variety of factors, which randomly emerge at certain phases.

Our paper aims at testing the impact of separate elements of the intellectual capital (IC) represented for instance by the human, structural, and customer capital, on the functioning and performance of the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) using mathematical modeling. We assess the intellectual capital with respect to the resource-based view theory. Our study is based on the data obtained from the 206 surveys with the representatives of small and medium-sized enterprises from Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries. We employed a mathematical modeling approach as well as the SPSS application package in order to test our hypotheses about the influence of intellectual capital on the enterprise’s efficiency. Our results helped us to determine that the concept of intellectual capital is practically not used in the management of small and medium-sized enterprises in CIS countries. It becomes apparent that individual techniques for managing intellectual resources can only be identified intuitively, based on an in-depth analysis of the current tasks facing managers. These findings confirmed the positive impact of intellectual capital on the performance of small and medium-sized enterprises in the conditions of the economies in transition represented hereinafter in our paper by CIS countries, but only with the availability of financial resources and with some important reservations.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to contribute to the existing knowledge about the process of achieving Lean Manufacturing (LM) success. Design/methodology/approach This study uses interpretive structural modeling and captures the opinions of a group of LM experts from a world-class Japanese automobile manufacturer, to map the interrelationships among potential determinants of LM success. This study further uses the data from a survey of 122 leading automobile part manufacturers by performing structural equation modeling to empirically test the research model proposed. Findings Management support and commitment, financial resources availability, information technology competence for LM, human resources management, production process simplicity, supportive culture and supply chain-wide integration are the key determinants that directly or indirectly determine the level of achievement of LM success. Research limitations/implications The determinants of LM success as experienced by Asian automobile manufacturers might be different from determinants of LM success as experienced by Western automobile manufacturers. An interesting direction for future research would be to capture the experts’ inputs from Western automobile manufacturers to complement the findings of this study. Practical implications The practical contribution of this study lays in the development of linkages among various LM success determinants. Utility of the proposed interpretive structural modeling and structural equation modeling methodologies imposing order, direction and significance of the relationships among elements of LM success assumes considerable value to the decision-makers and LM practitioners. Originality/value Building on opinions of a group of LM experts and a case study of leading auto part manufacturers, the present study strives to model the success of LM, a topic that has received little attention to date.

Development and management of heritage tourism attractions pose several challenges, such as lack of financial resources and political support. heritage sites and attractions often include numerous attributes (e.g., education, guided tours, shopping for local products) that can be provided at various levels of involvement and interest. however, the financial constraints of heritage tourism sites inhibit the ability to improve programs and services. The purpose of this study is to identify and compare the preferences of consumers and ambassadors (i.e., local tourism and community leaders) for improving management programs and services of the South Carolina National heritage Corridor using a choice modeling method. Both groups were generally in favor of developing more opportunities for local shopping, education/interpretation, and enhancing the cultural experience when visiting the South Carolina National heritage Corridor. however, ambassadors were more in favor of developing education/interpretation and the cultural experience compared to consumers. As agencies develop programs and services designed to increase visitation, preference information from different constituent groups are valuable to effectively decide what programs and services to develop.

Full textAbstract:
Role of the knowledge-based resources in promoting sustainability in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is currently a topic of debate. Financial literacy has been identified as a vital knowledge resource for financial decision making, but insufficient attention has been given to how SMEs’ financial literacy affects their sustainability. Drawing upon a knowledge-based perspective, peaking order theory and dual process theory, we constructed an integrated model to examine the impact of financial literacy, access to finance and financial risk attitude on SMEs’ sustainability. The sample included 291 chief financial officers (CFOs) of SMEs in Sri Lanka. The output of structural equation modelling revealed direct positive effects of financial literacy, access to finance and financial risk attitude on sustainability. Financial literacy also emerged as a predictor of access to finance and financial risk attitude. Moreover, access to finance and financial risk attitude were found to be partial mediators of the relationship between financial literacy and SMEs’ sustainability. Theoretical implications and practical implications for policymakers, industry practitioners and academics interested in promoting sustainability amongst SMEs are discussed.

Design/methodology/approach Survey questionnaires were developed in conjunction with literature guidance. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was used in conjunction with structural equation modeling to give a robust analysis of the problem setting. Findings Discoveries herein indicate that committing resources in itself is insufficient to adequately increase FP over the long term. However, the mediating variables of MF and PRE were found to significantly improve a firm’s bottom line. Originality/value Prior research has been somewhat lacking and inconsistent with regards to the nature of causal and mediating relationships found between RC, PRE, MF, and a firm’s financial performance. Given the increasing global nature of competition, understanding the relationships between potential factors that could positively impact a firm’s FP has a large potential direct impact and benefit on supply chain operations.

Full textAbstract:
This paper considers a class of systems of autonomous self-governed agents with purpose-specific behavior. Agents of this class contribute most to the overall performance if they have an unobstructed (transparent) access to the environment. Many examples of such systems can be found in swarm technologies and asynchronous simulation of discrete and continuous systems. An efficiency metric for a multi-agent system operating within a given environment is proposed as a dot product of the system’s characteristic time-vectors: one of an agent’s demands for resources and the other of the resources’ availability. It is shown that the smaller the dot product the higher the efficiency of the agents. In some cases, the better efficiency of individual agents translates into improvement of the overall performance of the system. This observation is postulated as the principle of orthogonality: under some conditions, the asynchronous, ungoverned systems outperform the systems with synchronized actions. It is shown that the asynchronous (“chaotic”) multi-agent models, properly devised to achieve a higher level of transparency, can produce a better throughput beyond the level achieved by simply improving the latency of the system. Examples of orthogonal systems include many discrete-continuous physical, financial, control and some machine learning multi-agent models. Conditions of convergence of asynchronous models are presented. Some experimental results are shown, as well. More general observations are made in the context of natural decomposition.

Abstract Using the Conservation of Resources Theory, this study examined how caregiver strain was influenced by care recipients’ use of falls alert wearables. Online survey data from 486 unpaid caregivers for adults aged 50 and older were analyzed. Structural equation modeling was used to test the following hypotheses: (1) caregivers with fewer financial resources would engage in fewer resource conservation strategies (e.g., care recipients’ use of falls alert wearables); (2) resource conservation strategy engagement would be associated less resource loss; and (3) the effect of resource conservation strategies on caregiver strain would be less salient than the effect of resources used on caregiving (e.g., time and social support). The hypothesized model had a good model fit (CFI=.910), with SRMR (.060) and RMSEA (.062) being close to .05. All hypothesized paths were statistically-significant, except for the direct effect of using falls alert wearables on social support (p=.076) and caregiver strain (p=.135). As hypothesized, higher income was associated with greater likelihood of using falls alert wearables (b=.10, p>.022). Technology use was associated with less time spent on caregiving (b=-.16, p<.001) and had statistically-significant indirect effects on caregiver strain (b=-.03, p=.008). The total effect of using falls alert wearables (b=.04, p=.394) on caregiver strain was less powerful than the effect of time (b=.20, p<.001) or social support (b=-.28, p<.001). Study findings suggest the benefits of using falls alert wearables to alleviate time-related burdens and downstream caregiver strain among unpaid caregivers. Future efforts should investigate the relative advantage of wearables for other caregiving purposes.

The article discusses the use of optimization models in financial decision support systems (DSS). The architecture of the DSS is considered. It is determined by the nature of the interaction of its main components: the user interface, database and data warehouse, documents and rules, models and analytical tools, communications infrastructure and networks, as well as elements of these parts. The architecture of the DSS for solving problems of financial management is determined by the nature of interaction of its main components.
Conceptual and functional models are presented. The functional model of the DSS reflects the structure of control actions on decision-makers, persons involved in the implementation of corrective actions necessary for effective financial performance. According to the functional model, a block diagram of the DSS is proposed. The block diagram of decision support consists of three main subsystems and provides modular-block construction. The proposed system is characterized by an open architecture and can be easily modified for functional expansion or for connecting and using external databases. The DSS should provide a common operating environment for modeling objects in a dynamically changing economic situation. The operating environment contains basic calculation algorithms, and allows the user to create own algorithms for calculating cash flows and used indicators. Thus, the key element of the integrated decision support system for managing the financial condition of the enterprise is the models laid down in the basis of the system.
The architecture of the DSS based on algorithms is considered. A DSS of this type contains a set of algorithms for solving a selected class of problems. Of the factors that influence the choice of a specific architecture of the DSS in financial management, we can highlight (i) the need for further development of the system, (ii) its adaptation, and (iii) the application of the evolutionary approach to the development of the DSS. The components of the system are: data input component, resource allocation component, strategy selection component, output component. The resource allocation component contains the following sub-components: determination of dependence coefficients, solution of optimization problem, solution of equation. The strategy selection component includes the sub-components for calculating the values of integral design characteristics, for calculating the values of groups of design characteristics, and for the pairwise comparison of strategies.
The information model of the component “The distribution of financial resources of the enterprise” is presented. The DSS performs data processing and checks for critical decision characteristics. The formalized structure of the algorithm for using the proposed models of distribution of financial resources, types of model integration are considered.

The progression of an economy is significantly dependent upon deployment as well as optimum utilization of resources and most importantly operational efficiency of the various sectors, of which banking sector plays a very vital role. Banking sector helps in stimulation of capital formation, innovation and monetization in addition to facilitation of monetary policy. It is imperative to carefully evaluate and analyse the performance of banks to ensure a healthy financial system and an efficient economy. Performance measurement is the most important activity of a management's control function in any organization. Performance measurement can be done in a systematic way for the entire organization to determine things, such as determining the needs of customers and seeing if they are able to fulfill their requests or not and making sure that the taken decisions are made with facts.

dynamic models, research and manufacturing systems, capacity, conveyor systems, uncertainty, marginal profitabilityThe paper considers dynamic models of resource management in manufacturing systems. Such system operating benefits largely depend on the rational use of resources such as the production apparatus, human resources, borrowed and own funds. The importance of scientific and practical problem of management manifests itself in the aspects of management automation based on the development of mathematical models optimizing the activity in accordance with the selected criteria and allowing obtaining well-founded decisions for the use of production and financial resources. The manufac-turing company management system based on the principles of conveyor processing applications is considered (applications in the broad sense are materials, work in progress, data, documents of computing and information centers, etc.). The equations describing the operation of conveyor systems are presented. The methods of resource allocation based on the criterion of maximizing the total volume of processed applications and the criterion of maximizing the marginal income for the policy period are considered. The application frame of these models for interval parameter settings in the conditions of initial data uncertainty with allowance for the attraction of debt financing is investigated. The analysis of stability of solutions is performed by means of economic and mathematical modeling

The research method used was the survey and the data collected were analyzed using the structural equation modeling technique. As results, it was possible to confirm that financial attitudes of university students of north of Mexico influence their financial behavior. However, it was not confirmed that financial knowledge of these students impacts their financial behavior. As a high relationship between financial attitudes, financial behavior and financial knowledge of analyzed individuals was not found, it is concluded that the level of financial literacy of university students in the north of Mexico is low. It implies in the necessity to invest in financial literacy programs that could help this population to better manage their resources, what would certainly impact on its savings and consumption decisions, and retirement planning.Keywords: Financial Literacy.

Investigando o nível de alfabetização financeira de estudantes universitários ResumoConsiderando que a qualidade das decisões financeiras tomadas pelos indivíduos depende de seus conhecimentos, habilidades e atitudes financeiras, é possível afirmar que o bem-estar de uma população depende do quão financeiramente alfabetizada ela é. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste estudo foi mensurar o grau de alfabetização financeira dos estudantes universitários do norte do México. O método de pesquisa utilizado foi a survey e os dados coletados foram analisados por meio da técnica de modelagem de equações estruturais. Como resultados, foi possível confirmar que as atitudes financeiras dos universitários do norte do México influenciam seu comportamento financeiro. Todavia, não se confirmou que o conhecimento financeiro desses estudantes impacta seu comportamento financeiro. Como não se encontrou uma forte relação entre os conhecimentos, atitudes e comportamentos financeiros dos indivíduos analisados, conclui-se que o nível de alfabetização financeira dos estudantes universitários do norte do México é baixo. Isso implica na necessidade de investir em programas de alfabetização financeira para auxiliar essa população a melhor gerir seus recursos, o que certamente irá impactar em suas decisões de poupança e consumo, assim como em seu planejamento de aposentadoria.Palavras-chave: Alfabetização financeira. Educação financeira. Modelagem de equações Estruturais. Estudantes mexicanos.

The present study identifies the key antecedent factors for accomplishing the adoption stage of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems in their business operations. Four potential antecedent factors of adoption were derived from the literature, and data were obtained from a sample of 200 executives of the banking organizations of the financial sector across India. A structural equation modeling (SEM) technique was used to examine the complex relationships between antecedents and the adoption decision. The authors survey the literature to discover and classify critical success factors that are potentially applicable to financial sector. Four broad parameters namely, strategic, organizational, technological, and environmental (SOTE) has been identified for the efficacious development of ERP system in the financial sector of India. 11 dimensions has emerged as significant one for the financial sector. The results show that most of the success factors found in the literature apply to the industry. Nevertheless, distinct differences were found as well. Some factors, such as innovativeness of the implementation strategy, formulation of sound business plan, integration within the departments, adaptation capability of the system etc. would become the key instruments for successful implementation of ERP in the financial sector. The findings can help the executives of the financial sector to focus their attention, priorities, resources and leadership on managing the success factors that have been established to be critical for achieving ERP project implementation and ultimately, leading to the development of the sustainable business model.

Full textAbstract:
Service-based differentiation competitive strategy has been hugely adopted by manufacturing firms in both developing and developed countries, which would influence firm performance and resource allocation mode. Against the background of developing countries such as China, this empirical study has two purposes. The first is to investigate the impact of service competition on firm performance. The second is to summarize the resource allocation mode which executives would adopt to implement service competition. Based on service-dominant (SD) logic, resource-based view (RBV) and service marketing theory, this paper constructs a theoretical framework to link the organizational resources (product-related resources and service-related resources), competitive advantage (product quality and service quality) and firm performance (financial performance and non-financial performance), and proposes several hypotheses about the relationships among these constructs. Based on the survey data obtained from manufacturing firms in China in 2006, this paper employs a structural equation modeling (SEM) approach with interaction effect involved to test the hypotheses. Several findings are found through data analysis. First, service competition has positive and significant impact on firm performance, and the contribution of product-related inputs on performance is much larger than that of service-related inputs. This implies that though the impact on performance of service competition is comparatively lower, service can still be the source of product differentiation and act as a positive complement to product-based competition. Second, consistent with our theoretical expectation, the finding indicates that there is a substitutive relationship between service-related resource and product-related resource to a certain degree, though weakly supported by data. This can be explained by the factors such as China's initial resource endowment, low-level stage of the market and the industry, etc. Finally, the paper discusses the theoretical and managerial implications of the research findings, which would provide empirical supports for the implementation of service-based differentiation strategy in manufacturing in developing countries.

Full textAbstract:
Job quality (JQ) covers the aspects that contribute to wellbeing through the impact on material living conditions or quality of life at work. The research aims to evaluate the relationship between the quality of jobs, in combination with the dimensions of innovation and other economic and social indicators, on the performance of the labor market. The analysis is carried out at the level of 193 NUTS 1, 2 and 3 territorial administrative regions. Job quality is estimated based on the results of Eurofound’s sixth Working Conditions Survey 2015 (EWCS), which outlines some defining features of job quality. In the relationship between JQ and the growth of employment, we also introduced influences of innovation activities concerning the human resources involved, the financial support for research or the creation of collaborative networks between innovators, as well as intellectual assets in the form of patents applications, trademarks or design. The results of our structural equations modeling reveal an intense and positive causal relationship between the intellectual output (intellectual assets) and specific attributes of the job quality, especially regarding job prospects, skills and discretion, and the increase in the rate of employment.
