Our study examines the effect of business‐level strategy on performance. Past literature examining the aforementioned effect in the pharmaceutical industry is scarce. Furthermore, there is a lack of studies that analyze how competitive strategy is contingent on firm entry timing. Hence, to explore our understanding in this area, the present study was conducted in the German pharmaceutical industry. Two hundred valid responses were collected from CEOs. The data were analyzed using SPSS and partial least square (PLS) techniques. The findings indicate a surprising result that, while the differentiation strategy is significantly related to pharmaceutical companies' performance, cost leadership strategy is not.


Current state of the art and future challenges of mobile learning: Bridging formal education and home environments

As competition increases, educational institutions are under extreme pressure to increase the quality of teaching and learning. Advances in mobile technologies, together with better and more powerful personal digital devices and a growing mobile ecosystem are key enablers of the next big wave in education: mobile learning (m-learning). Students, who are digital natives, and educators are already using mobile technologies in diverse contexts, but turning m-learning into a widespread practice requires planning and knowledge about its pros and cons, demonstrating its usefulness and adequacy to all skeptical audiences, and designing learning in a different way, with new knowledge and skills. This study describes the main characteristics of m-learning, and outlines the potential of mobile technologies for education. Similarly, the research presents criteria for successful integration of mobile technologies in learning environments. The study also offers an overview of the main barriers to m-learning adoption, presenting the main challenges and trends –from both technological and educational perspectives– in digital mobile contexts. In sum, the research analyzes the current state of m-learning and offers a critical assessment of its potential for bridging formal and informal learning, inside and outside educational institutions, including home environments.

Competitive tactics play a key role in explaining different levels of organizational performance since they are the linkers between strategy formulation and implementation. This study focuses on two main competitive tactics, namely, Quality-Oriented Competitive Tactic (Quality) and Cost-Oriented Competitive Tactic (Cost), which are the ones that are closely related to Porter’s generic competitive strategies. Apart from that, we will analyze two other important competitive tactics, namely, Innovation-Oriented Competitive Tactic (Innovation) and Marketing-Oriented Competitive Tactic (Marketing) which will mediate the relationship between the main tactics and performance. Hence, we try to adopt an integrative posture by viewing competitive tactics in the pharmaceutical industry as inextricably linked, forming the fundamental pillars on which sustainable competitive advantage could be established.

This study explores the changes in human resource management, which take place after a public company's privatisation and proposes a theoretical model of global analysis that covers relevant factors in the different performance areas of management (culture, management style, employee involvement and influence, remuneration, training and development, recruitment and selection, and job security/lay-offs). To confirm the theoretical propositions posed, contemporary multiple case studies are used as a research methodology, with a scientific analytical induction approach through the replication logic (analytical generalisation) and a partially deductive approach.

The privatisation of a firm entails a thoroughgoing process of reform that includes the introduction of new management practices. A review of the theoretical and empirical studies conducted allows us to confirm that a systematic analysis of the contextual, organisational and strategic factors that arise after a public company's privatisation does not exist. This study explores the changes in strategic management that take place after a public company's privatisation and proposes a theoretical global analysis model that facilitates their analysis. In order to confirm the theoretical propositions posed, the contemporary multiple case study was used as a research methodology. In particular, the changes experienced in the strategic management area in four privatised Spanish companies were investigated along the lines of a longitudinal analysis. The results of this study show that most theoretical propositions are confirmed or tend to be, according to the evidence shown by the firms in the sample. In addition, a comparative analysis of the different firms' behaviours by following the structure constructed on the basis of the three areas (strategies, objectives and organisational structure) leads to the conclusion that all these areas are relevant to the process of change in a privatised firm's strategic management.

This work presents the results of an ambitious and innovative use of the Delphi technique in supplying a quantitative economic model, specifically in the preparation of the Input–Output Tables for Catalonia (TIOC 2001). Using this technique for obtaining subjective information from experts comes forward as a valid and reliable option for improving the quality of the data with which the Input–Output tables are constructed, also providing further economic and social advantages. The application presented thus opens up an interesting field of development for this technique and also gives several contributions for appraising the execution of a Delphi exercise of this type.

Changes in Operations Management of Privatized Spanish Firms

Firm privatization entails a thorough process of reform that includes the introduction of new management practices. A review of theoretical and empirical studies conducted confirms that a systematic analysis of changes in management arising after a public company’s privatization does not exist. This study explores changes in operations management that take place after a public company’s privatization and proposes relevant factors in four operations performance areas. In order to confirm the theoretical propositions posed, we used contemporary multiple case studies as a research methodology. In particular, changes experienced in the operations management area in four privatized Spanish companies were investigated using a longitudinal analysis. The results of this study confirm most theoretical propositions and identify four areas considered are relevant to the process of change in a privatized firm’s operations management.

... The results are also consistent with competitive strategy research (Jermias & Mahmoudian, 2024). In addition, our model provides a more comprehensive perspective that integrates both knowledge management and competitive strategy, thus deepening our understanding of the role of contextual features of different competitive strategies in contributing to organizations' desired outcomes (Campbell-Hunt, 2000;Castillo-Apraiz & Matey, 2020). ...

... Newbery & Pollitt (1997) further argue that because privatisation is a recent phenomenon, most of the published work that investigates the impact of privatisation on corporate performance investigates the differences in the performance of publicly owned and privately owned companies. To address this limitation, Zabalza & Matey (2011) suggest that, in order to analyse corporate performance and evaluate the efficiency of privatisation, most empirical studies either conducted comparative studies using a cross-sectional analysis of public and private firms or a longitudinal analysis looking at before and after privatisation. Zabalza & Matey (2011) further advise that an analysis of the internal changes that take place after privatisation could lead to a better understanding of the relationship between privatisation and efficiency. ...
