The prospect of business failure Is not a topic that most businesses care to acknowledge. However, in the construction industry failure Is a real possibility. The construction industry has several characteristics that sharply distinguish it from other sectors of the economy. The low level of working capital required to operate a contracting firm and the sensitivity of different sectors within the construction market to the economy are two of the most Important factors affecting the Industry. Previous attempts to identlfr and solve the problem of business failure concentrated upon the modification of contract regulations and did not receive considerable support. In the meantime, contractors should plan and control their activities in accordance with current environments and regulations. The Importance of cash flow forecasting is well emphasized In literature as current models failed to produce feasible and reliable tools. Being a large and well diversified organisation can be a good solution to the problems indicated above. The output of large construction companies is less sensitive to variations in the economy. The low level of working capital required to operate contracting activities Is balanced by other capital intensive businesses. The sensitivity of the construction company in general and the contracting division in particular to the fluctuations In individual contracts is limited. This is due to the large collateral available and the high number of contracts executed. Whilst maintaining all these advantages, large construction companies have failed to dominate a respectable share of the market against the high number of small and unstable contracting firms. Current practices with respect to corporate planning, financial planning and financial budgeting were examined in this research. A survey was undertaken for medium to large construction companies and findings confirmed that these practices were exercised inefficiently. Based on these findings, a corporate financial model was developed on a computer to assist medium to large construction divisions formulate and evaluate strategies. The model simulates strategies and environments and produces a comprehensive financial report which can then be used by contractors to control performance. The model generates construction output by integrating individual contracts. An Important part of the model Is the single net cash flow forecasting module. This module fulfilled other explicit applications for small as well as large contracting firms. The two models were evaluated through several tests and proved to be reliable. Current budgeting techniques were evaluated against the proposed model and were confirmed to be significantly incorrect. Contractors should not rely on their budgets and must use a model which is made to Incorporate variations In strategies and environments (i.e. the C.F.M.C.C.).

Incubators have become a popular way for corporations to stay in front of their competition because,y pos today´s startups are an immense spring of innovation as many possess emerging innovation. These corporate incubators offer the startups a support system where they can test and leapfrog their innovations, and add innovation to the corporations. However, there is a large difference between these two parties, which makrs successful collaboration a challenge. This study examines how to improve this collaboration based on information obtained through an embedded case study of a large corporate incubator and startups present within it. The main findings suggest three important factors for a large enterprise to gain the most value out of their incubators: (1) clear communication, (2) startups need to know what their objective is, and (3) incubator support from the organization. To leverage startup innovation in a corporate incubator and to attain these three factors, three building blocks for a corporate incubator have been identified: selection process, case building, and graduation.Inkubatorer har blivit ett populärt sätt för företag att vara konkurrenskraftiga eftersom dagens startups är en enorm källa av innovation. Dessa företagsinkubatorer erbjuder startups ett supportsystem där de kan testa och accelerera deras innovationsprocess och erbjuda innobation till företagen. Men, det är emellertid en stor skillnad mellan dessa två parter, vilket gör ett framgångsrikt samarbete till en utmaning. Denna studie undersöker hur man kan förbättra detta samarbete baserat på information som erhållits genom en fallstudie av en stor företagsinkubator och dess startups. Resultatet av denna fallstudie är tre viktiga faktorer som behövs för att ett företag ska få ut det mesta av deras inkubator. (1) Tydlig kommunikation, (2) medvetenhet från startups av vad de behöver och (3) inkbatorstöd från hela företaget. För att utnyttja den innovation som startups tillför och för att uppnå dessa tre faktorer, tre delar av processen för en företafsinkubator identifierades: Urvalsprocessen, sammarbetsfasen och examen.

In this study Jarrow Turnbull (1995) Model, which is a reduced form approach for credit risk models, is employed to estimate the default intensity of US corporate bonds conditionally based on a fixed recovery rate. The estimations are performed with respect to the ratings of the bonds and the results were consistent with the ratings. US Treasury Bills are also used to since zero coupon default free prices, modeled by Svensson (1994) are necessary for pricing the default risky coupon bonds.

Liu, Zhun. "Essays on model uncertainty and corporate financial policies." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2016. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/94844/.
Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
The thesis comprises three essays on model uncertainty and corporate financial policies. Particularly, it studies how model uncertainty affects firm’s choice in financing method in distinct market conditions, as well as the evolution of corporate risk management policy under resolving uncertainty in firm’s profitability and the ability to hedge with derivatives. Chapter 2 is the first attempt to reconcile prospect theory and contract theory in explaining observed financing decisions. In a world of ambitious and aggressive economic agents, even original equilibria break down in the presence of asymmetric information. When the aggressiveness in the market prevails, multi-pooling-equilibria could exist, which might explain why academics cannot find the optimal leverage. In the meanwhile, debt issuance will be lower, which sheds light on the distinct liquidity provision patterns between bull and bear markets. Firms with lottery-like investment opportunity will get external financing more easily than that with safe projects because both market participants - entrepreneur and financier – will perceive the project to be more valuable than would otherwise be suggested by the classical expected utility theory. While current corporate risk management theories predict that young firms should hedge more than the established ones, the claim is not supported by empirical observations, which also present mixed evidence on whether hedging creates value. Chapter 3 attempts to address this puzzle by including model uncertainty as part of risk management process. We develop a dynamic model in which agents learn about a firm’s hedgeability, gauged by the correlation between its operating cash flow and underlying asset of hedging instruments, while weighing the costs and benefits of different risk management tools. The model predicts that resolving model uncertainty accelerates the process of building up hedging positions, but this is not necessarily accompanied with firm value creation. We conclude that dynamic information acquisition is an important determinant of corporate risk management. In Chapter 4, we develop a dynamic model of corporate risk management in which agents learn about a firm’s profitability and balance the costs and benefits of risk management. We depict how the resolution of this particular model uncertainty intertwines with corporate risk management policy. The model predicts that both cash balance and hedging level increase in profitability prospects. We conclude that unraveling profitability drives distinct dynamics in corporate cash management and hedging policy, as a result of trade-off between risk-managing consideration and default option value-maximization. This also yields insights into the puzzles of why young firms use less hedging than mature firms and why there is mixed empirical evidence on the value creation role of corporate risk management.

We suppose that the price of a firm follows a nonlinear stochastic delay differential equation. We also assume that any claim whose value depends on firm value and time follows a nonlinear stochastic delay differential equation. Using self-financed strategy and replication we are able to derive a random partial differential equation (RPDE) satisfied by any corporate claim whose value is a function of firm value and time. Under specific final and boundary conditions, we solve the RPDE for the debt value and loan guarantees within a single period and homogeneous class of debt. We then analyze the risk structure of a levered firm. We also evaluate loan guarantees in the presence of more than one debt. Furthermore, we perform numerical simulations for specific companies and compare our results with existing models.

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
This thesis aims to investigate the effects of mean reversion on dynamic corporate finance decisions and stock pricing.
In Chapter 1, a continuous-time real option model of mature firm that produces product with exogenous mean reverting price is developed to study the firm’s optimal exit and leverage policies. Simulation results show that both liquidation and bankruptcy triggers are negatively related to the long run price levels, while the speed of mean reversion interacts with the long run price level to affect the firm’s exit decisions in two opposite directions depending on the level’s relative magnitude to total operating expenses (the firm’s instantaneous operation costs plus coupon payments). Regarding the leverage policy, apart from showing the static tradeoff result that firm uses more debts when the current revenues are high, the model exhibits at high long run price levels low-debt scenarios that are analogous to the pecking order prediction, suggesting that both static tradeoff and pecking order effects coexist under a mean reversion environment. Because equity values increase more vigorously with prices than debt values do, the tradeoff effect is overwhelmed and the resulting optimal leverage ratios are generally decreasing with the current price levels.
Chapter 2 extends the model in Chapter 1 to derive the closed-form expression of the firm’s equity beta. Because expected stock returns are linearly related to the equity beta by model assumption, several implications to the cross-sectional behaviors of stock returns are obtained. First, it is predicted that firms with mean reverting characteristics should earn lower average returns than others without. The model further reveals the coexistence of positive book-to-market and leverage premiums to stock returns. Most importantly, due to the possession of bankruptcy option by equity holders, high distress risk stocks are expected to earn lower average returns than otherwise similar but low distress risk stocks. This provides an extra dimension to study the ‘distress premium puzzle’. Finally to verify the model predictions, empirical tests using historical market and accounting data from CRSP and COMPUSTAT are conducted, and supportive results are generally obtained.published_or_final_version

Li, Tsz Wan. "A Framework Proposal For Choosing A New Business Implementation Model In Henkel." Master's thesis, Vysoká škola ekonomická v Praze, 2015. http://www.nusl.cz/ntk/nusl-194126.
Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
Henkel's New Business team is a corporate venturing unit that explores corporate entrepreneurial activities on behalf of Henkel Adhesives Technologies. The new business ideas are implemented through one of these models: incubator, venturing or innovation ecosystem. In current practice, there is no systematic framework in place to choose the implementation model. The goal of the thesis is to propose a framework for choosing the most appropriate model for implementation of a new business idea in Henkel. The thesis approaches the topic on practical and theoretical grounds. The first part outlines the related literature and theoretical focus. The literature covers definitions and theories of incubator, corporate venturing, corporate venture capital, innovation ecosystem and investment decision-making process. The practical approach relates to the company case studies of Philips, 3M and BASF. In this thesis, each model is analyzed based on a broad literature review, case studies and personal interviews with experts. The second part is the main discussion and analysis of the topic assembling with practical examples in Henkel. It comes to a recommendation that Henkel should prioritize and choose the most appropriate model for the new business proposal after the "concept scoping" stage, and before detailed investigation. It also proposes a scorecard framework that entails 14 key criteria for choosing the mode: degree of market competition, potential disruptiveness, technological risk, time to market, strategic alignment, degree of customization, dependency of related industries, technological newness of related industries, idea source, protectability of intellectual property, internal expertise, technological competence, commercial competence and parenting advantages. Furthermore, a new business developing strategy matrix is constructed based on two dimensions: strategic importance and operational relatedness. It is to further check the accuracy and validity of the results from the scorecard framework. Finally, it is suggested that future research can be done to improve the framework by adding weightings and scale of each criteria within the framework.

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
This doctoral research enquires into the ways contemporary art has become a model for corporate management. Two entwined questions are essential: what kind of mechanisms should be enacted by contemporary art as a means to challenge the idea of model and how could these potentially alter the way corporate actors/authors think about artistic practices? As a means to understand how these two fields are being affected by each other in neoliberal ideology, an investigation is required from the standpoints of both art and management. This comprises of three stages: a historical review of artistic modes of production and their relationship with corporations in the 1960s through the case studies of Experiments in Art and Technology and the Artists Placement Group; a closer look at how art manifests in the imaginative economy of managerial writings; and the analysis of recent artistic practices, in which the performative takes a central role through the use of language. By looking at cultural theory, management literature, corporate projects (Deloitte, Quickborner Team and Xerox PARC), management conferences (Daved Barry), and artworks of artists (Alicia Herrero, Burak Delier, Carey Young, Jan Peter Hammer, Joel Slayton, Harun Farocki, Nicoline Van Harskamp, Pilvi Takala, and Pamela Z), this research discloses contrasting positions and ironic inversion as an artistic strategy of differentiation. Performativity is understood herein as the vehicle through which corporate actors/authors extract the necessary inspiration to reproduce artistic expressions and methods. Conversely, it is also the means of expression that contemporary practices often employ as a way to challenge corporate interests. This is achieved by deploying the theoretical interdisciplinarity of performativity and examining the linguistic standpoints of both corporate management and post-conceptual artistic practices. What changes today in contemporary art is not so much the meaning of parody or irony, but the nature of the artworks – implicated yet critical of capitalist structures – and the circumstances to which they are attached – the growing complicity of art institutions with corporations. By delineating a situation in which artists-as-curators are paradoxically placed as critics of corporate institutional structures and participants of those same structures, this research puts forward performativity as a disruptive device of a model of work idealised by corporate management that has been redefined in artistic practices in the past two decades.

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 78-79).
This thesis focuses on buildings as a subject of attention and inquiry in a corporate setting. It attempts to draw implications for the design of a management system to deal with the special nature of buildings as a resource. The concepts presented are grounded on organization theory and corporate planning theory. The emphasis and examples are from a research/consultation project for the construction· an real estate division of a large corporation. The study is presented in four parts. First. the question "what makes a good building?" serves as a starting point for a reconnaissance of different roles and perceptions that define the human environment for the management system. Understanding these perceptions is important in dealing with tensions and conflicts that arise within the organization that may impact the value of buildings as a resource. Here. special attention is given to the perceptions of architects and managers. The second part examines the special circumstances surrounding buildings as a corporate resource in order to derive conclusions about their role in strategic planning. Three levels of decision making are presented as part of a strategic planning model: corporate, division and function. It is argued that in this scheme, a construction and real estate group in the corporation is a function level operation. The types of decision making associated with the group are presented. The third part presents a learning/adapting management system and examines its main elements. Drawing upon work in environment-behavior. statistical quality control and decision support systems (DSS), it defines an integrated model of a management system for building- related activities. Examples of the use of the DSS are given. The fourth and final part takes a look back at the territory covered and a look forward to suggest future developments of the model.

When exploring business in China we noticed that companies behaved in a different way, Corporate Social Responsibility was seen as integrated in companies’ business models as an integral part in order for them to grow and sustain. This seemed to be a new approach to us as well as poorly discussed in the literature we had experienced. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the content of Business Model, the conceptualisation of corporate social responsibility in the Chinese context and the importance of including the concept of corporate social responsibility in firms’ Business Models. Based on the exploration, we decided to employ the hermeneutics perspective of social science. Accordingly, the research was conducted through a qualitative study with an inductive approach. Based on interviews of the respondents’ organisational and personal perspective of the Chinese context, with literature review as reference to and reflection on the findings to have in-depth understanding of the concepts, we conducted this study, which is shaped by the following major findings. Business Model and Corporate Social Responsibility are dependent on the complexity in a certain context, the studied Chinese context, and therefore need reconfiguration. Sustainability in China is assumed to move, but rather in its own direction than similar way to the development in West. The focus of Business Model is moving more towards creating value in terms of economic, social and societal rather than only considering money making. The Chinese government is seen to have political power and influence on the business market with heavy interference in the business’s direction, operation and management. As a result, collaboration with government can guide, facilitate and increase success of businesses. Business Model for Sustainability should be created on an aggregate level, where businesses should consider integrating Corporate Social Responsibility as the foundation in their business model, which is pushed and driven by the government. A business model for sustainable development in China is proposed with the two integral constituents: Corporate Social Responsibility and Politics represented by the government. Lastly, reflecting on the literature review of the studied fields respectively, it has been dragged behind the current state of the evolving world. What is happening in China, the second largest economy in the world and one of the biggest countries suggests that more intensive attention of researchers should be paid to business practice with Corporate Social Responsibility as an integral part of business model. With a focus more on the contextualisation, new dimensions or horizons of the literature development can be revealed when hidden or untouched aspects such as political influence in business are investigated. Accordingly, the heterogeneity in perspectives on conceptualisation and configuration of Business Model and Corporate Social Responsibility in the literature along with that in practice is inevitable. It is more important to see how the concepts look like and work in close connection with the context, rather than trying to shape the literature in one particular way to prove that it works in all contexts.

Bibliography: leaves 133-145.Epistemology is the philosophical study of knowledge; it attempts to understand which beliefs a person can claim to know. This thesis discusses how theories found in epistemology can be used to understand what knowledge an organisation possesses, and shows how epistemic theories can be used as a basis for a corporate memory model. Work in artificial intelligence knowledge representations and corporate memory knowledge representations are compared with ideas found in epistemology. A corporate memory model based on epistemology is proposed, and it is shown how this model can be used as a basis for development of corporate memory systems.

Mestrado em FinançasAtravés da avaliação do impacto das teorias de governo das sociedades nas empresas cotadas em Portugal e do seu desenvolvimento em Portugal, esta dissertação ajuda a compreender como a performance das empresas cotadas em Portugal se relaciona com as variáveis de governo das sociedades. Este estudo baseia-se numa amostra de 38 empresas Portuguesas entre os anos 2005 e 2012. As principais conclusões são que percentagens mais elevadas de independência nos conselhos de administração evidenciam maiores níveis de performance, e que a dualidade de funções de CEO e Chairman demonstra benefícios na performance das empresas. Também verificámos que o modelo Latino têm vindo a perder observações para o modelo Anglo-Saxónico, e adicionalmente, verificámos que a maioria das empresas cotadas em Portugal são controladas por famílias.

This project describes NASA's culture during two important time periods (1958-1972) and (1996-2004) and explains its relative fit with its system components-task, people, resources, and structure. The open-system model is used to explain how system components affect culture and how culture affects them. During the first period (1958- 1972), NASA was established and it landed the first man on the moon, a remarkable accomplishment given the advances in science and technology required to complete this mission. During the second period (1996-2004), the Columbia accident occurred, causing NASA's image to be tarnished and its credibility with key stakeholders to be compromised. To conduct this research, books, online resources, newspaper article, technical and investigative reports and theses provided the main sources of information. Project results indicate that culture alone is not the only contributory factor to NASA's performance. The space agency's technical culture closely aligned with system components enabled the organization to complete its moon-landing mission. However, NASA culture changed due to alterations in the system components. A misalignment between culture and its system components occurred during the second period, causing the Columbia accident. Therefore, the alignment between culture and other components is essential for NASA to perform its missions effectively. NASA leadership should monitor and assess this alignment to help prevent future mishaps.

Despite the globally growing interest in corporate responsibility (CR), there is little practical as wellas academic knowledge of CR practises in the media sector. The aim of this study is to make acontribution to the evolving understanding of what CR implies in the media sector by applying astakeholder approach to a case study, which is Alma Media, a Finnish media corporation. Firstly,from the corporate perspective, the objective of this study is to provide Alma Media with a CRagenda, based on the CR priorities defined in stakeholder interviews. Secondly, from a moretheoretical point of view, this study aims to evaluate the stakeholder theory as a means of definingthe CR characteristics of the media sector in Finland.The main body of the primary data is collected by 44 stakeholder interviews, supportedby participant observation at the case company. The data is structured with content analysis andanalysed according to the stakeholder categorisation of Mitchell, Agle and Wood (1997) in order toprioritise between the different stakeholders and their CR interests.The findings indicate Alma Media’s CR priorities are a mix of media ethics (reliability,responsible journalism, journalistic integrity), traditional CR issues (environment, personnel) andcultural responsibility (locality, citizenship). Most stakeholder demands concerns environmentalresponsibility. To understand media CR on a general, global level, further research is needed toconfirm the findings of this study and, particularly, to highlight the international differences andsimilarities in media CR.Concerning the theoretical objective of the study, the study concludes that the Mitchell,Agle and Wood model helps to identify the priority stakeholders and CR issues but fails to capturethe multi-dimensional nature of the power attribute and the role of stakeholder networks in themanagement of CR. Thus, stakeholder theory provides valuable insight into CR management butfurther research on stakeholder network models is needed.

Being green has never been as omnipresent as nowadays. Finite resources, growing population, natural resources degradation, and biodiversity loss to name some examples are reasons why major changes towards greener strategies in the economy are needed (Volery, 2015). Although research in the field of sustainable entrepreneurship has increased in the past two decades, no clear definition of ecopreneurship is existing yet. Many different terms are used to describe a similar concept (Gast, Gundolf, and Cesinger, 2017). It is self-explanatory that ecological sustainable entrepreneurship is a subfield of entrepreneurship, but the relation to social entrepreneurship gets blurry. With the help of a systematic literature review and interviews with experts, the question of how ecological sustainable entrepreneurship, which in the following is named ecopreneurship, can be defined as a subfield of entrepreneurship, is answered. The results of the literature review are analyzed with the focus on similarities and differences in definitions and put into context in a concept map to create a new and clearer definition of ecopreneurship. Furthermore interviews with experts in research and the industry are used to verify the newly formed definition and compare the findings in the literature with how researchers and practitioners see the field. Throughout the analysis, the question of how ecopreneurship differentiates from social entrepreneurship, is present. A detailed analysis of the relations between sustainability-related subforms of entrepreneurship brings better insights on how ecopreneurship is linked to social entrepreneurship. In summary defining ecopreneurship is di cult, because some characteristics can be interpreted in many dfferent ways depending on the perspective it is looked at. Findings in the literature are very much in line with how researchers and practitioners see and define the field. Nevertheless, different approaches towards ecopreneurship result in slightly different characteristics of ecopreneurship. This work provides future researchers with a clear defini- tion of what ecopreneurship is and how it is related to concepts like social entrepreneurship, sustainability entrepreneurship and traditional entrepreneurship.

With the advent and fast development of science and technology, especially that of the internet, enterprises in the 211 century are facing the most severe competition in the human history, and meanwhile are witnessing numerous new opportunities. Products and services are being wed out and created every day. In such an environment, every enterprise must clearly understand its core business strategies, and identify the core competencies needed by its organization to support such strategies. The core competencies of an organization are embodied by every individual employee at different function and position, and need to be systematically planned and developed. While in the past only big companies could afford to build up sophisticated internal training systems, the development of online education technology has made it possible for companies of all sizes to leverage the abundant external resources to meet the companies' training needs, with higher quality and at lower costs. This thesis analyzed the ongoing changes in the macro environment relevant to the enterprise competition, revealed the indication of such changes to the overall corporate training strategies, reviewed the traditional resources for corporate training in China, explored the emerging new resources for corporate training based on online education technology, and in the end discussed the possibility of a new business model for an external vendor to provide integrated customized solutions to the enterprises for their corporate training. The research methodology used for this thesis mainly includes document review and primary market research interview.

Two major objectives of organisations are to achieve firm performance and to maintain a competitive advantage; strategies to achieve these objectives differ widely. Research at the entrepreneurship and marketing interface investigates the application of both dimensions on firm activities, processes and behaviour to achieve different performance parameters. In the field of entrepreneurial marketing research two key approaches are discussed: a market-driven and a market-driving approach. Market-driven approaches, though applied by many organisations, are less successful in allowing organisations to outperform others and create long-term competitive advantage. Market-driving, on the other hand, is considered to contribute to enduring competitive advantage. Current research indicates that the construct of market driving and the factors that influence it are not well understood. The purpose of this study is therefore to measure market driving and determine firm-internal factors that influence an organisation’s market-driving ability in the South African healthcare industry. In this research, constructs drawn from the literature study were used to formulate the conceptual framework and statistical model. The empirical part of the study used a fully structured telephonic questionnaire and the respondents were managers in organisations in the South African healthcare industry. Data analysis employed structural equation modelling. The results indicate that market driving can reliably be measured by three activities: market sensing; influencing customer preferences; and alliance formation. Entrepreneurial behaviour, strategic orientation and entrepreneurial capital have a more positive impact on market-driving ability than corporate entrepreneurial management. The study demonstrated that market-driving ability significantly benefits firm performance and relative competitive strength. The study provides a solid basis for future research in the field. Moreover, the results of the study can be applied by organisations in a three-step process. First, organisations can assess their current level of market driving. Second, they can assess influencing factors, and finally identify areas for improvement. Through continuous reassessment organisations can work on their market-driving ability to achieve their organisational objectives.Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2011.

The primary objective of this research was to identify the determinants of corporate turnaround feasibility and their effect (in terms of their state of existence and their existence) on the probability of corporate turnaround feasibility in Successful and Non Successful Turnaround Companies. The other objective was the development of an empirical model of the determinants of corporate turnaround feasibility capable of predicting the feasibility of corporate turnarounds. One hundred 'troubled companies ' were identified out of two hundred and eleven publicly listed companies of the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange through observations of their share price performance, earnings before interest and tax, earnings after interest and tax and by the Malaysian Z- Score (PNB Score) failure detection model test. They were further demarcated into 57 Successful Turnaround Companies (STC) and 43 Non Successful Turnaround Companies (NSTC). These two groups were then compared on the determinants of turnaround feasibility. The study confirms that the feasibility of corporate turnaround of an organisation is dependent on the existence (exists or non existant) and the state of existence (whether favourable or non favourable) of a set of variables or determinants of corporate turnaround feasibility i.e. Causes of Decline, Severity of Crisis, Company's Historical Strategy, Industry Characteristics, Company's Cost Price Structure, Commitment of Shareholders, Commitment of Bankers, Commitment of Creditors, Commitment of Employees, New Competent Management, Viable Core Business, Bridge Capital and Realistic Turnaround Plan. In identifying the existence and the state of existence of the key determinants of corporate turnaround feasibility in the STC and the NSTC, it was found that the STC had higher occurrences of favourable states of existence for the key determinants than the NSTC. STC's were also found to experience higher occurrences of existence (exists) in the key determinants compared to the NSTC. A 'Corporate Turnaround Feasibility Intensity Model' was developed to test corporate turnaround feasibility intensity level. Subsequently, the empirical model or the multivariate logistic regression model was then applied to finalise and reaffirm the feasibility of the corporate turnaround of the organisation. The qualitative and empirical models complement each other in their application, or used on their own can test the feasibility of corporate turnaround. The availability of both qualitative and empirical models above to test and to predict the feasibility of corporate turnaround from this research can help solve one of the biggest dilemmas facing numerous shareholders, top management, management consultants and bankers, namely, deciding whether to go ahead with the turnaround process or not. The models can help save costly errors in terms of money, labour cost, psychological turmoil, time and wasteful resources due to wrong decision making. They also constitute a new contribution to knowledge.

Empirical studies into IT governance have considerably advanced our understanding of the mechanisms and practices used by contemporary organisations to govern their current and future use of IT. However, despite the progress made in identifying the various elements employed by contemporary IT governance arrangements, there has been relatively little research into the formulation of a holistic model of IT governance that integrates the growing collection of parts into a coherent whole. To further advance the concept of IT governance, the Viable Governance Model (VGM) is proposed. The VGM is a theoretical model of IT governance within a corporate setting that is based on the laws and principles of cybernetics as embodied in Stafford Beer's Viable System Model (VSM). Cybernetics, the science of control and communication in biological and artificial systems, establishes a firm theoretical foundation upon which to design a system that directs and controls the IT function in a complex enterprise. The VGM is developed using an approach based on design science. Given the theoretical nature of the artefact that is being designed, the development and evaluation activities are primarily conceptual in nature. That is, the development activity involves the design of a theoretical model of IT governance using theoretical concepts and constructs drawn from several reference disciplines including cybernetics, organisation theory, and complexity theory. The conceptual evaluation of the VGM indicates that the model is sufficiently robust to incorporate many of the empirical findings arising from academic and professional research. The resultant model establishes a "blueprint", or set of design principles, that can be used by IS practitioners to design and implement a system of IT governance that is appropriate to their organisational contingencies. Novel aspects of this research include: the integration of corporate and IT governance; the reinterpretation of the role of the enterprise architecture (EA) within a complex enterprise; the exposition of the relationship between the corporate and divisional IT groups; and the resolution of the centralisation versus decentralisation dilemma that confront designers of IT governance arrangements.

This thesis aims to extend the current knowledge about corporate image formation process by developing a comprehensive model which incorporates corporate identity mix elements (i.e. symbolism, communication, and behaviour) and unplanned communication factors (i.e. interpersonal, intermediary and intrapersonal communication). By examining the proposed conceptual model, this study challenges the claims of anything a company does communicate its identity (Balmer, 1997, 2001; Van Riel and Balmer, 1997) by testing the impact of company-driven communication efforts on corporate image formation in the consumer context. It also adopts the understanding of corporate image as a composite product of multiple communication factors (Bhattacharya and Sen, 2003; Cornelissen, 2000) and in addition to formal communication efforts it specifically tests the role of interpersonal communication, intermediary communication and intrapersonal communication factors in corporate image formation (Cornelissen, 2000). This research adopts a predominantly quantitative approach which is supported by insights from an exploratory phase that encompasses in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. The main survey data is derived from a cross-sectional survey which is conducted in Turkey. The data drawn from 439 questionnaires is analysed by multivariate data analysis technique including exploratory factor analysis (EFA), Cronbach alpha, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modelling (SEM). The findings show that not every aspect of corporate identity mix elements (e.g. corporate aesthetics, staff apparel) is considered to be salient communicators of corporate identity by consumers. They also indicate that when consumers attribute positive feelings to a company’s corporate visual identity systems, when they think that marketing communication activities reflect corporate values, and when they perceive a company as socially responsible, they tend to form a favourable image of that organisation. Moreover, the results highlight that interpersonal communication (word-of-mouth information exchange among close friends and relatives) and intrapersonal factors (i.e. corporate associations gap, consumer-company identification, emotional appeal, consumer-company value congruence) are determinants of corporate image formation. However, it is found that employee behaviour and intermediary communication may not activate immediate associations about corporate image.

The Kaplan and Norton’s (1992) Balanced Scorecard model was designed for Western countries that operate within a capitalist system. African countries differ from Western developed countries in respect of aspects such as their infrastructure, markets and customers, sources of capital, government interventions, literacy levels, and socio-cultural frameworks. Thus, the original Balanced Scorecard model cannot be reconciled fully with an African environment that is more humanist, community-based and socialist in nature. Hence, the study set out to establish whether or not a different understanding or new perspectives on the Balanced Scorecard model were needed and could be conceptualised and developed specifically for organisations in Africa. A structured questionnaire was used for the primary data collection. Exploratory factor analysis and correlation analysis, using SPSS Version 16.0, were employed to identify the four significantly intercorrelated perspectives of the African Balanced Scorecard model which is proposed in this study: (1) the relationships and culture perspective, which looks at an organisation’s continued stakeholder dialogue and relationships; (2) the stakeholder perspective, which looks at the recognition of contributions by individual stakeholders; (3) the value creation perspective, which considers maximum economy, efficiency and effectiveness when creating organisational wealth, and (4) the corporate conscience (resource allocation) perspective, which looks at the equitable allocation of organisational wealth to all stakeholders, especially those that are usually disregarded, such as local communities and the natural environment. The results of the study will facilitate the review and design of better corporate planning and performance measurement systems, the review and design of government and industrial policies and regulations, management consultancies, and will promote and facilitate change in accounting and auditing principles and practices. The study is subject to some limitations, particularly a lack of larger geographic coverage (as only Southern Africa was covered), the limited availability of information from some participants, and the need for further validation of the cause-and-effect relationships between the four perspectives of the proposed African Balanced Scorecard model.Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2011.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2001.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The utilisation of human capital and its impact on organisational performance must rank as one of the key managerial concerns III South Africa. The message from international competitive studies is clear: corporations become competitive when people and practices change. The global market has exposed the lack of competitive strength and effectiveness of South African corporations. Against this background, managing complex organisations in the private and public sector remains a daunting, pervasive and urgent task. By focusing on issues of organisational behaviour and global competitiveness, the study aims to contribute to the development of competitive (effective) corporations in South Africa. It is important to keep in mind that the present investigation was an exploratory study attempting to add to the body of knowledge about competitiveness. It aimed to enhance existing studies on global competitiveness and organisational effectiveness and open up possibilities for new management strategies and interventions as well as further research. In particular, it builds on previous work on the impact of organisational behaviour on performance. An extremely important development in the study of corporate culture has been proof that that the normative structure (corporate culture) has a significant impact on the performance of an organisation. Because of this impact, corporate culture has to be regarded as one of the key success factors in any corporation. Corporate culture is however no end in itself, but must be regarded as a hermeneutical key (interpretative) to corporate performance. The success of the corporation takes precedence over all other aspects of the organisation, even over its culture. The framework of corporate culture and competitiveness links patterns of behaviour and management practices with underlying assumptions, beliefs and values. It provides a clear description of the integrative mechanisms and dimensions of corporate culture and the way in which they impact on competitiveness. These behavioural factors are key determinants of organisational performance because of the close link between patterns of behaviour and underlying core values and beliefs. The model also defines the elements (people, change, projects, control) that need to be managed, as well as the traits (adaptability and innovation, mission, involvement, consistency) of the culture which determines the performance of the corporation. In terms of the corporate culture and competitiveness framework, the management activity of developing a set of common or core values is therefore a good starting point for any culture intervention strategy aimed at enhancing competitiveness (performance). A shared system of beliefs, values and symbols widely understood by an organisation's members has a positive impact on their ability to reach consensus and carry out coordinated actions. This impact, as well as the nature of the culture of the corporation has to be understood by everybody in the organisation. It also has to assist them in making sense of corporate life in such a manner that it creates opportunities for everyone to impact on the performance of the corporation.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die bestuur van menslike hulpbronne en die impak daarvan op organisatoriese prestasie is een van die kern bestuursvraagstukke in Suid-Afrika. Die internasionale boodskap oor mededingendheid is duidelik. Organisasies se mededingendheid verander wanneer mense en praktyke verander. Oor die algemeen vaar Suid-Afrikaanse organisasies redelik swak in die internasional mark weens 'n gebrek aan kompeterendheid en effektiwiteit. Dit is duidelik dat in hierdie lig, die bestuur van komplekse organisasies 'n uitdagende ontwykende maar dringende uitdaging aan bestuur is. Deur op organisatoriese gedrag en internasionale kompeterendheid te fokus, poog die studie om 'n bydrae te maak tot die ontwikkeling van kompeterende (effektiewe) organisasies in Suid-Afrika. Dit is belangrik om in gedagte te hou dat die studie van ondersoekende aard was en om daardeur verdere insig in kompeterendheid te verkry. Dit poog om by bestaande studies oor internasionale kompeterendheid en organisatoriese doeltreffendheid aan te sluit ten einde nuwe bestuursintervensies en strategië te ontwikkel en terselfdertyd rigting vir verdere navorsing aan te dui. Dit bou in besonder op vorige studies oor die impak van organisatoriese gedrag op doeltreffendheid. 'n Belangrike ontiwkkeling in die studie van korporatiewe kultuur was die bevinding dat die normatiewe struktuur (korporatiewe kultuur) 'n insiggewende impak op die prestasie van organisasies het. As gevolg van hierdie verhouding, moet korporatiewe kultuur as een van die sleutel sukses faktore in enige organisasie beskou word. Korporatiewe kultuur bly egter altyd slegs 'n middel tot die bereiking van doelwitte en nooit as die doel self nie. Dit moet daarom beskou word as 'n hermeneutiese (verklarende) sleutel tot organisatoriese doeltreffendheid. Die prestasie van enige organisasie moet voorkeur geniet bo all ander aspekte van die organisasie, selfs die korporatiewe kultuur. Die raamwerk van korporatiewe kultuur en doeltreffendheid verklaar die interaksie tussen die onderafdelings van kultuur en die organisasie se doeltreffendheid. Die aannames, oortuigings en waardesisteme van 'n organisasie vorm die basis van 'n stel bestuurspraktyke en gedragspatrone. Hierdie gedragspatrone is sleutelfaktore tot organisasie doeltreffendheid as gevolg van die noue verband tussen die gedrag en die onderliggende waardesisteem. Die raamwerk identifiseer die elemente (mense, verandering, projekte en kontrole) as die elemente wat bestuur moet word, sowel as vier meganismes (betrokkenheid, aanpasbaarheid en vernuwing/innovasie, konsekwentheid en doelgerigtheid/rigtingaanwysing) van kultuur wat die doeltreffendheid van die organisasie bepaal. Korporatiewe kultuurintervensie strategië, gemik op prestasieverbetering, behoort in terme van die korporatiewe kultuur en doeltreffendheidsraamwerk by die ontwikkeling van 'n stel gedeelde of kernwaardes te begin. 'n Gedeelde sisteem van oortuiginge, waardes en simbole wat deur alle lede van die organisasie verstaan en aanvaar word, sal 'n sterk en positiewe uitwerking op die vermoë om konsensus en gekoordineerde optrede te bereik, hê. Hierdie uitwerking asook die aard van die kultuur van die organisasie moet deur almal in die organisasie verstaan word. Dit moet hulle ook in staat stel om die organisasie se keuse van prioriteite te verstaan en daardeur geleenthede vir almal te skep om 'n impak op die doeltreffendheid van die organisasie te hê.

CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICOO presente trabalho é uma proposta para a criação de uma arquitetura geral de memória corporativa. A mesma tem três camadas: fontes, middleware e repositórios. Primeiro, criou- se um modelo conceitual de negócio baseado em teorias de administração de negócios e organizadas sob uma abordagem de ontologias, esse modelo denominou-se de Organizational Baseline (OB). Segundo, utilizou-se as abordagens de sistemas multiagentes como meio para organizar nossa proposta de arquitetura. O OB é o principal repositório onde se armazena informação relevante da organização, a qual é extraída a partir dos sistemas legados, bancos de dados, sites na internet ou mesmo elicitadas dos seres humanos por meio de entrevistas e formulários. O modelo conceitual está baseado nas abordagens de análise estratégica positioning e emphasizing efficiency, junto com a análise de funções e o estudo do gerenciamento da qualidade total.
This work presents a proposal for building corporate memory architecture. It has three layers: sources, middleware and repositories. First, we create an conceptual enterprise model, named Organizational Baseline (OB), based on theories of business management and organized in accordance with an approach of ontology. Second, we use multi agents system as a means to organize our proposal of architecture. The OB is the main component, where we store whole relevant information for the organization; it can be extracted from legacy systems, databases, Internet sites or human beings. The conceptual enterprise model is based on constructs elicited from positioning and emphasizing efficiency views of strategic analysis, together with function analysis and total quality management.

Due to the decreasing transparency of the financial reports, traditional logit models, usually employing accounting numbers as predicting variables, are facing questions of their effectiveness. However, the market value based corporate credit model, such as Merton type models, are also encountering problems of market inefficiency and inappropriate assumptions of value distribution. The purpose of this study is, therefore, to improve traditional failure prediction models by proposing an integrated model that incorporates both accounting and market credit information. We introduce the variable, Expected Default Frequency (EDF) generated from Merton model, as a predicting variable into traditional logit model. The empirical results show that Expected Default Frequency variable is not only significant in the model but also have higher failure predictive power than the traditional model.

Due to false financial statements, corruption, asset misappropriation, manipulation of stocks, occurs a series of corporate fraud in the early Taiwan, despite the administration has improved the part of the supervision systems, it could not prevent the corporate fraud completely. This paper will develop the most suitable prediction model for the corporate fraud, by using the ratio of 1:2 as sample for the corporate fraud and the non-fraud company listed in Taiwan by 1997 to 2015. Considering the integrity of the fraud’s factors, we select financial statements, corporate governance, market transactions and macro-economics as research variables. Different from the past corporate fraud related literature, through different types of the fraud and its timing based on the year before the fraud, and use the methods of decision tree, random forest and logistic regression to predict. The empirical results show that: (1) In the analysis of the decision tree, random forest and logistic regression, the variables of financial statements, corporate governance, market transactions are more significant. (2) Under the prediction of fraud and non-fraud companies, testing group which distinguish into fraud types has a higher correct rate. (3) Under the prediction of fraud company, either in testing or training group which distinguishes into fraud types has a higher correct rate. In addition, testing group of false financial statements completely predict correct. In conclusion, it is better to use distinction of fraud types as approach to predict the most suitable prediction model.

Current environmental management practices, sometimes, cannot fit into real-world business operations. Under the emerging environment protection trend, corporate needs to incorporate environment considerations into their management and production practices. This research, thus, focuses on the management strategies of how to align environmental requirements with business goals and how to meet consumer expectations through system construction and skill improvement. This research finds that corporate green management model is an ideal way to solve the problem under the circumstance of unchanging traditional corporate structure and at the same time responding to the arising public awareness of environment protection. Through green organization management and green production management in couple with current environment management system and evaluation tools, corporations are able to acquire useful environment information and use them to form strategies. Liquidation of product environmental information is a crucial criterion to ensure the success of this model. It plays an important role in both outside presentation and inside cost evaluation. Therefore, corporations should try to disclose as much product environmental information as possible to assist the running of corporate green management model. This research also analyzes problems of corporations in Taiwan with developing green management model under the pressure of international competition. It finds that corporations in Taiwan are immature in handling environmental issues and fail to incorporate current environment management tools into corporate structure. Since the market trend and environmental laws change rapidly, corporations would respond slowly and fall behind competition if they do not have an integrated management model. Consequently, this research suggests that corporations utilize green management model to integrate other corporations and industries such as suppliers, potential competitors, consumers and distributors. Besides, even though corporations in Taiwan are facing problems such as slow growth, fierce competition, high financial costs, small product differentiation, requirements of international buyers, threats from Korea, Japan and China, high substitution of products, weak international price negotiation power, and arising environment protection requirement, they can still take other advantages such as high-quality human resources, sufficient funds, advanced equipment and skills, complete industry structure, highly vertical integration, flexible production, and strong productivity to meet competition. These advantages give corporations in Taiwan a great environment to develop corporate green management model and thus enable corporations to build their competitive advantages. However, those are not enough to ensure the success of corporate green management model. This research suggests that improving the whole investment environment, aggressively setting up localization life cycle information database, building life cycle impact evaluation and quantitative index, assisting corporations to put life cycle evaluation into TYPE III environmental declaration of products, applying environment into design and utilizing quantitative index are keys to success.

On Dec. 2, 2001 Enron filed for bankruptcy protection under the U.S. federal bankruptcy law, hoping to reorganize its debt and continue operating. The Enron accounting scandal caused countless losses to large numbers of its stakeholder, and led to a loss of confidence in the government, the corporate sector, and financial specialists. Following the establishment of financial holding companies in Taiwan one after another beginning in November 2001, local financial institutions began diversifying their products as well as enlarging and internationalizing their operations. Finance is the foundation of an country’s economy system, and the multiplier factor of financial leverage exerted by financial holding companies is several times that of other industries; the supervision and governance mechanism for financial holding companies, therefore, should be stricter than that for other industries. A financial holding company can use a small amount of equity to control large amounts of assets, and the multiplier effect of its leverage is great; if a bank’s financial leverage has a 20- or 30-fold multiplier effect, then the multiplier effect of a financial holding company can reach 100 or 200 times. Without an appropriate mechanism for supervision or governance, it is very easy, under these conditions, for fraud to be perpetrated. Furthermore, the scale of a financial holding company’s assets is huge, and it is characterized by a concentration of equity and a diversity of businesses; if a subsidiary bank has an excessively high debt ratio and a financial crisis erupts, then the systemic linkage effect will bring about a heavy impact on the nation’s economy. In view of the complexity of financial management and its strong influence on economic stability, financial holding companies confront problems that are broader and more complex than those of other industries. This means, at the same time, that the bringing of financial companies under good corporate governance is more urgent than for other industries. The chapter of this paper that deals with case studies enters deeply into the operating conditions of the Fubon, SinoPac, Mega, and Chinatrust holding companies, and tries to gain an understanding of their independent directors and supervisors as well as to analyze the exercise and performance of their independent authority. Also, the turmoil about whether the China Development Financial Holding Corporation’s former chairman was suited to the office erupted just as this thesis was being written, and so an account is given of the development of that case and how the Ministry of Finance and China Development made use of the Financial Holding Company Law, Banking Law, and other related laws and regulations in their offensive and defensive machinations and their disputes. The case studies and in-depth interviews described in Chapter 4 show that the ratio of independent members on the boards of directors and supervisors of financial holding companies at the present time is not very high, and the exercise of the authority of those independent members is not very distinct. The reason for this may be that the law does not require the installation of independent members, and the independent members themselves understand that the results they can effect are limited. This study discovers that independent directors cannot take over the operation of a company from its managers, nor can they assume responsibility for the performance of their company. Their charge is to act as a devil’s advocate and, to a certain extent, they must perform the function of a frank critic. But a Taiwan company’s appointment of independent outside directors, its establishment of high-level committees, and its use of independent accountants does not mean that that company will not encounter problems; because this is a matter of morality, and the most that these people and units can do is try to set up a good system and map out preventive measures. However good a system may be, it will not be able to overcome man’s evil intent and his intelligence. The most important problem is “man.” Outside directors need not only wisdom; for them, courage is an essential condition. It is not easy to express moral courage in Chinese society, with its emphasis on human sentiment and good will; for independent directors to fulfill their proper function, however, they must have wisdom and courage too.

To financial institutions, measuring and managing credit risk has always been an important issue. Credit risk has been not only a major factor of making financial decision for financial institutions, but also for in the management of firms. Measuring the credit risk of a firm could detect the financial problems earlier and it is helpful to prevent from financial distress in advance. Previous literatures focused on the financial ratio analysis, but the effect of “window dressing” makes the analysis unreliable. Furthermore, Taiwanese government is promoting the governance mechanism. Therefore, this research investigates financial distress firms which had been listed in TSE, OTC, and ROTC and matches with healthy firms from the first quarter of 1996 to the third quarter of 2009. Based on the above reasons, in addition to the financial variables, corporate governance variables are also incorporated into logistic model. This research uses the data two years before financial distress and find corporate governance enhances the predictability of the model. Furthermore excluding the bailout-distress samples improves the predictability of financial distress and healthy firms apparently. Weighted financial prediction model also strengthens the predictability of the two groups.

A corporation is an organization that attempts to enhance its business value and make the most profits for its shareholders. However, there are many ways to evaluate a corporation. In 2002, the model of capital cash flow (CCF) was first developed. Some researchers discussed how a valuation model (CCF) is applied to a single corporation. This research selected 45 corporations in different industries and discussed how many other corporate valuation models are applied to these companies. This research applies various models, such as the discounted cash flow model, free cash flow model (FCF), capital cash flow model (CCF), adjusted present value model (APV), economic value added model (EVA), PE ratio model (PER), and market value to book value ratio (PBR) to evaluate corporate value and estimate its rational stock price. Then, we compared it with the actual market stock price. Furthermore, we also applied the Autoregressive model (AR) to forecast growth rate, and discussed its usefulness to better evaluate the value of a corporation. The smaller the prediction errors, the better the predicting investment performances are as an evaluation model. In terms of prediction error, relative valuation models are better than the discounted cash flow model (DCF). The economic value added model (EVA) is regarded as the most stable valuation model. From the views of investors, the discounted cash flow method (DCF) is steadier than relative valuation methods (such as PER and PBR). However, the forecasting growth rate by ARMA (1) is significantly better at evaluating the value than using the original growth rate data of the model. Overall, the discounted cash flow model (DCF) is more stable than other models, as well as a better model for predicting market value.

This study endeavours to conceptualise the corporate trust construct and its relationship with corporate reputation more holistically, to address the current perceived lack of conceptual clarity of the relationship between these two constructs. The key premise of this study is that a for-profit organisation’s ability to generate sustainable wealth over time and ensure its own long-term economic sustainability is related to its relationship with its entire stakeholder network. Since an organisation is dependent on its stakeholders’ approval, commitment and supportive behaviour, it is important to understand what influences and drives their perceptions and assessment of an organisation, and their decision to support it. This highlights the importance of understanding the relationship between corporate reputation and corporate trust. For this purpose this researcher has developed a conceptual model founded on basic, theoretical research, with the aim of clarifying current and existing theory and providing a new theoretical perspective. A conceptual model is a simplified and systematic representation of reality, which is made explicit in some abstract form. The descriptive and explicative properties of a model delineate the complex elements of the system more clearly, which fosters systematic thinking and enhances understanding. The model developed as the result of this study suggests an inverse direction to the generally accepted view in current literature of the relationship between corporate trust and corporate reputation. Where trust is usually regarded as an attribute or antecedent of corporate reputation, this study has conceptualised trust as an outcome of corporate reputation and as the more comprehensive construct in the relationship. Corporate reputation has been conceptualised as being merely a means to an end – to earn stakeholders’ trust and thus their commitment and continued support – and not as an end in itself. Trustworthiness, and not trust, has been identified as the key driver of corporate reputation. Seven key areas in which an organisation should display its trustworthiness have been identified. These are proposed as the new antecedents of corporate reputation in order to build a reputation that will lead to stakeholders’ trust and support. Finally, recommendations have been made and the areas requiring further research have been identified.Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2013.

Abstract Probability default can be estimated by stock price and corporate bond price. Our search count Probability default by Bond Pricing Model (BGM，1997) and Stock Pricing (Merton，1974) and then compared with them which one is more close to CDS spread. We choose the corporation which issue corporate bond and CDS spread to be the samples. Analysis the probability of forward rate under Merton(1974) and BGM(1997) Model. We find the forward rate under stochastic process of libor rate , the prediction bias is smaller and more accurate.

Usually a great deal of tacit knowledge is stored within the organization. However, the knowledge is rarely traded and shared systematically.Take corporate memory for example, the number of employees who quit their jobs every year under the flexible labor market environment has gradually lead to a corporate amnesia phenomenon. This will not keep the orgnization from effectively learning from and passing on the experience. This research is basically focus on the problem of losing corporate memory and by using multi-agent technology to construct multi-agent corporate memory system which will include a variety of topics and involve all levels of unstructured and semi-structured document which can be digitalized. The agent-based corporate memory model proposed by this research followed the PASSI methodology in system analysis and design to clearly identify the role, responsibility of each agent, and the relationship between agents. Moreover, to apply information retrieval and vector space model into agent application to achieve automated retrieve correlated document. The proposed system also can make recommendations according to keywords of document, user's profile, satisfaction evaluation documents, and ontology to be the basis of communications between agents. The actual result of the research is to allow users provide a window through agent-based corporate memory model. The member of the organization can retrieve correlated knowledge-based documents within the organization and assist users to find the knowledge-based documents which conform to the keywords they entered to achieve the purpose of recommendation.Users can continuously turn the explicit knowledge into tacit knowledge to generate more knowledge-based documents. Constantly doing so will form the spiral of knowledge transmit and help promote the know-how of the members within the orgnization.

Globalisation and its related social, economic and political challenges is making the South African business environment ever more competitive, with firms finding that agility, flexibility and continuous self-renewal are essential to maintain their positions. To exploit their current competitive advantages and explore future opportunities, firms are increasingly adopting corporate entrepreneurship (CE) – a type of proactive behaviour.The aim of this research was to determine the extent to which South African firms in the financial, retail and telecommunications sectors use CE methods, and to uncover the most important internal organisational factors that influence their use. A literature review of all the themes relating to the topic was done, from which five propositions were developed and a questionnaire was compiled. After four suitable companies had been identified (with the aid of five CE experts), the questionnaire was used in 24 interviews conducted across these four case study organisations. The results were analysed and used to draw conclusions relating to the aim of the research.From the research findings, the author has been able to construct a model that managers of South African companies operating in the fields of finance, retail and telecommunications could use to improve their companies’ financial performance.Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2010.

M.B.A.The main thrust of this research is its critical perspective on the current situation faced by corporate South Africa. This involves the deliberate attempt to make a contribution in dismantling the deeply rooted problems of the past. The research has specifically focused on the transformation of all organisations in the country. The study then chooses to argue that for corporate South Africa to undergo a smooth planned change and overcome resistance to transformation, it has to go via the cultural diversity route. There is a need to prioritise and find new solutions. There is much work to be done. The major motivation behind the study was the very perception that South Africa is a multicultural country having all members aspiring to have their voices heard. The study then further argues that it will be best timing to activate economic transformation simultaneously with political transformation with particular emphasis on corporate South Africa. Hence the need to develop an integrated and formalised methodology for managing corporate planned change in its entirety. The development of the model is thus intended to provide management with a holistic methodology to internalise, think, plan and in the process of its implementation, incorporate all members of the organisation in decision making. This work has attempted through conceptual literature, to create an outcome that will influence other disciplines in different spheres, generate constructive arguments and activate further research. The work also intends to create a new perception that South Africa be seen as doing something concrete- about its corporate impasses.
