Abstract:
What does it take for organizations to support people working together effectively? What does it mean for an organization to be effective? Does successful collaboration lead to more effective organizations? This study explored these questions both theoretically and empirically in an effort to help organizations understand the most important aspects to consider when attempting to achieve collaboration for organization success. The purpose of this study was to fill some of the gaps in the research by taking a broad, holistic approach to exploring the context required to support collaboration at

Abstract:
This study is primarily about the Open Organisations Profile, a questionnaire developed in the United States by Professor Oscar Mink (1991) to assess openness in the workplace and thus assist in decisions on organisational change and development. The Open Organisations Profile was developed as an assessment tool of the Open Organisations theoretical model. The Open Organisations Model offers researchers a lens to assess an organisational system and the system’s ability to adapt to internal and external changes in its environment, while maintaining a sense of unity.While the Open Organisations

Becoming a Learning Organization (LO) is widely recognized as a process through which organizations can develop characteristics that enable them to be competitive in an increasingly competitive business environment.

In developing itself into an LO, an organization seems to gain possession of relevant characteristics through knowledge acquisition, knowledge sharing and knowledge uti

The results support both the behavioral and the operations perspectives. This combined view suggests that slack capacity is optimized to improve sales while being minimized to improve profits. Excess

Abstract:
The principle behind outsourcing is that an organization outsources tasks it strategically elects not to do within the organization. It is estimated that outsourcing has become a $4 trillion a year business (Corbett, 2005). In today's competitive healthcare marketplace, many sponsors outsource functions that were once considered core to the organization. U.S. Census data show that 10% of all business-to-business sales originated from outsourced sales (Rogers, 2008). The objective of engaging in outsourcing of sales is to improve sales efficiency and gain an edge in today's challenging market.
