The aim of this study is to conduct a longitudinal reasearch into the influence between market orientation, innovativeness and business performance. The study endevours to examine possible changes in the model of the influence of market orientation on innovativeness and business performance in the 2016-2019 period in Croatian companies. To analyse data, we used regression and covariance analysis. The results show that the influence of market orientation, competitor orientation and interfunctional coordination on innovativeness and business performance did not exhibit statistically significant differences in the 2016-2019 period in Croatian companies. At the same time the influence of customer orientation on innovativeness, product innovation, business system innovativeness and on business performance showed a signifcant statistical change. Empirical results provide consequential theoretical implications and implications for the management in implementing market orientation, which would allow for the increase in company competitiveness on the market.

Durante años, expertos en Estrategia han resaltado la importancia de definir claramente el marco estratégico de una empresa debido a que éste le permite crear su identidad, propósito y dirección. Asimismo, porque a la vez dicho marco sirve como instrumento para apropiarse de una mayor porción de valor creado a partir de, por ejemplo, la implementación de más y mejores prácticas de innovación empresarial. Sin embargo, ¿es realmente determinante la construcción acuciosa de un marco estratégico para efectos de generar resultados adecuados en términos de innovación y competitividad? El presente trabajo tiene como propósito abordar dicho cuestionamiento. Para ello se pretende desplegar un planteamiento teórico y conceptual sobre el impacto de la calidad del marco estratégico (i.e., misión y visión organizacional) sobre la creación de ventaja competitiva y posterior consecución de una cultura de innovación en las organizaciones. Para ello, en principio se desarrollará una revisión sistemática sobre el impacto de estos dos componentes sobre los resultados organizacionales, y se propondrá el vínculo teórico que puede existir entre las variables involucradas. Los resultados obtenidos serán proposiciones teóricas susceptibles de ser comprobadas empíricamente en un estudio posterior.

La incorporación de diversas herramientas tecnológicas en el sector educativo en todos los niveles, ha planteado en años recientes nuevos retos para los docentes, dentro de estos las denominadas Competencias Digitales Docentes (CDD) que implican que el docente sea capaz de utilizar la tecnología para mejorar y transformar las prácticas docentes, así como pensar críticamente acerca del por qué, cómo y cuándo aprender nuevos aspectos relacionados con la tecnología y el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Los resultados que se presentan en este trabajo analizan la asociación entre la autopercepción del nivel de CDD (niveles: principiante, medio, experto y transformador) con variables sociodemográficas (género, edad, años de experiencia docente y grado de estudios). El encuadre metodológico es cuantitativo, no experimental y transversal. El instrumento utilizado se aplicó a 197 docentes de educación media superior en una región del Norte de México, y se diseñó a partir de la adaptación de estándares de Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación (TIC) para docentes del International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) y del modelo de Krumsvik, así como algunos atributos referentes al uso de las TIC que marca el acuerdo 447 de la Reforma Integral de Educación Media Superior (RIEMS) de México. Se utilizó la prueba de Chi-Cuadrado para analizar la asociación entre variables. Los resultados estadísticos sugieren que existe una asociación entre las CDD con las variables género, edad y experiencia docente (medida en años de servicio); la asociación no se presenta con el grado máximo de estudios.

According to the recapitulation of the utilization of Community Health Centre inpatient services in Depok in 2016-2018, it was very low. The results of an initial survey in October 2018 conducted by Community Health Centre researchers who only served inpatients in only 3 districts, while 1 sub-district had not served general inpatients since one year ago. Of the three sub-districts, only 1 sub-district has inpatients, while others sometimes do not have an in-patient visit within one month. Sukmajaya Community Health Centre was appointed to serve general inpatient care, basic neonatal obstetric services and care for malnourished children. Because of the low number of inpatient visits in the city of Depok, the researchers were interested in knowing the strengths and weaknesses as well as the opportunities and threats of the Sukmajaya Community Health Centre. This study used a qualitative method conducted in February 2020 with in-depth interviews using interview guidelines and voice recording devices. Interviews were conducted with the Head of the Community Health Centre, Head of Administration, Responsible for Inpatients, Doctors and Nurses. As a result, Sukmajaya Community Health Centre was unable to compete with Private Hospitals because private hospitals had better health personnel and infrastructure than Sukmajaya Community Health Centre. Besides that, the number of private hospitals in the city of Depok is large and the location is easy to reach, so people prefer hospitals with more convenient facilities.

Background and Purpose: Despite scholarly interest in understanding the role of different determinants on entrepreneurs and their behavior, little is known about the relationship between entrepreneurial curiosity and innovativeness. This research explores the relationship between entrepreneurial curiosity, which motivates entrepreneurs to gather information about their business and innovativeness that motivate entrepreneurs to incorporate innovations into entrepreneurial processes.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Participants in this study were entrepreneurs from Slovenia and USA. By using structural equation modelling, we linked the two constructs of entrepreneurial curiosity and innovativeness to test the influence.
Results: Results indicate that entrepreneurial curiosity positively influences innovativeness. The results of this study indicate that at the frame of entrepreneurship psychology entrepreneurial curiosity is important for innovativeness.
Conclusion: This paper links the two studied constructs and presents a valuable contribution for entrepreneurship theory; therefore, the results could be used for a further scientific research as also for practical implications.
Purpose
This study aims to explore the patterns of corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices and investments across different ownership groups and relevance of CSR practices in the vision and mission (V&M) statements of firms.
Design/methodology/approach
The paper uses the neo-institutional theory approach, which explains similarities and differences in the CSR practices of organisations embedded within (and between) similar sectoral contexts. The study accounts the CSR activities of the top 100 companies listed on the Bombay Stock exchange (BSE) based on their ownership and checks the overlap of the CSR activities conducted by the companies with the ongoing social development schemes launched in India during the same of time. The time period between 2017 and 2020 is chosen to analyse the CSR studies. The study uses content analysis technique to derive conclusions. A textual analysis of top 100 listed firms across all ownership groups aimed at understanding patterns of CSR practices opted by the different groups and coherence of CSR patterns in the V&M statements. CSR related keywords were analysed in the V&M statements to understand what influence reporting of CSR practices in the strategic communication of firms.
Findings
Overall analysis indicated that top 100 firms prefer to invest in the areas of “Education”, “Sustainability” “Skill” where public-owned firms preferred towards “Sanitation” and “Environment/Sustainability” showing concurrence with local development goals. Private and foreign groups preferred to park their CSR funds in “Education” and “Skill” development showing coherence with the global agendas. Public-owned firms tend to report more CSR related specifically “Environment’ and “Sustainability” in the strategic documents. However, private and foreign firms do not pay any significance to CSR related keywords in their V&M statements.
Research limitations/implications
Findings suggest that despite of huge CSR investments, private and foreign-owned firms lack CSR focus and communication in their V&M statements, which may create disintegration in the CSR investment and strategic alignment of near-term and future goals. The paper suggests that private and foreign firms should also communicate their CSR practices through their V&M to stakeholders so that CSR practices may not remain mere 2% mandated expenditure by the Government of India.
Originality/value
The study contributes in confirming the success of the CSR policy mandate in supplementing government’s social development programmes along with indications on the role of family firms in accelerating the process of community development as compared to foreign firms. The study also favours integration of CSR disclosures in the V&M statements to gain long-term benefit out of these investments.
Purpose: Strategic direction setting is a critical leadership practice to be adopted by organizations that intend to attain good performance. This study sought to examine the influence of strategic direction on Sacco performance. Design/Methodology: The study utilized descriptive and correlational research design. The study was conducted in SACCOs in Kenya. Primary data was collected using a close ended questionnaire from SACCOs senior managers and CEOs were also interviewed. For data analysis, the study used descriptive statistics, inferential statistics and content analysis. Findings: The study established that strategic direction setting significantly influenced SACCO performance. Implications/Originality/Value: The findings provide a valuable insight on the importance of strategic direction setting in enhancing performance. This study will guide SACCO leaders to proactively set strategic direction through developing and communicating the vision, mission, goals and objectives as this will boost performance in terms of increased level of customer satisfaction, increase in members, asset base growth and growth in deposit base. The findings can be used as a basis for further research by scholars who are interested in understanding strategic direction in SACCO’s.
This paper introduces a theoretical model that relates firm dynamics to bankruptcy processes on both univariate and multivariate bases. The distinctiveness of the study lies in the estimation of default using a framework where firm dynamics are linked to the bankruptcy process itself. The structure builds on theoretical relations among the constructs viewed from a perspective sufficiently wide to demonstrate value addition and dilution. The univariate‐based estimation results indicate that the variables determined via the model successfully differentiate distressed firms from non‐distressed and other firms, while the evidence from the multivariate analysis facilitate a 90%+ correct distressed/non‐distressed classification rate for both one‐ and two‐year periods. The findings provide a road map for selecting the most appropriate default prediction variables and identifying the role of each in the prediction process. The prediction accuracy of the model does not depend solely upon statistical techniques, but also reflects each variable’s theoretical underpinning. The model is shown to be useful for firm rating in general and credit approval decisions in particular.
