Main Context
- Organizational Structures Or Governance
It is little surprising to know about the organization and management of collective activities in the governance structures, whereas strategic collaborations have occurred in recent years as common and vital structural systems for the growth of the business. The typical organizational scholarship is perceived as a useful method because it both delivers clear concepts which distinguish the alternate intra organizational strategies and explains their impact on the internal operations of the organizations (Albers, Wohlgezogen & Zajac, 2016).
On the other hand, the existing collaboration classification systems which are on the basis of different kinds of collaborative activities, features of partnership, or legal arrangement, hardly describes the significant differences of the collaborative tasks which are arranged between the partners.
The drawback is sought to redress by planning a structure of collaborative organizational parameters on the basis of common corporate strategy considerations. Five important strategic parameters for collaboration has been recognized and discussed in the article. They are the administrative interface among the partners, the structural interface in the partners, the specialty, formality, and centrality of the collaborative organization. The journal has also discussed about the concerns of the five parameters, which has given more in-depth information about the collaborative governance.
Environmental Forces
The journal has discussed about the achievement of competitive benefit utilizing a strategic customer service alignment, which had got enormous research attention. The purpose of the article is to study the perception of strategic customer service alignment in the perspective of fast-changing environments of a competitive market. Manufacturing practices could apply the strategic customer service alignment manufacturing practices in order to achieve the best business performances in the environments of the competitive market.
Environmental Forces
The findings have shown that organizations with a strategic customer service alignment are applied on both human and technological factors of manufacturing practices which leads to outcomes better performances in environments of a competitive market (Hong, Yang & Dobrzykowski, 2014). The findings also suggest practical perception about integrating value creation by the service-driven process and providing achievement of outcomes of both cost efficiency and better performance in the environments of a competitive market.
- Risks Confronting the Firm
The research on the outcomes of diversity in teams in organizations has continued to provide inconsistent consequences. The latest developments in diversity research have been examined, and two risks have been recognized. The first one is lack of knowledge about the microdynamics which are affecting the procedures and outcomes within the diverse teams in organizations (van Dijk, Meyer, van Engen & Loyd, 2017). The second one is diversity research has led to treating various groups as equal and has not considered the experiences of the team members which might affect their membership and performances.
In order to address these drawbacks, research has been conducted on the stereotypes, which has signified that stereotypes are the reason behind micro dynamics between the attribution of friendliness and competency of a member of target team within the organizations. It is also the cause of observing the behavior of the members to the member of target team. Moreover, it is also affecting the action of the member of the target team. It has been suggested that impression, development, and encouragement of the perceivers are the main factors on the basis of which the perceivers would carry on to treat a target on the basis of classification.
Based on the review, the journal has given solutions for the issues of diverse teams based on integrative viewpoint and equivalent model which summarizes the Microdynamics of Diversity and Stereotyping in Teams (MIDST). It has shown that stereotyping could be an advantage and also disadvantage for the functioning of a team. It has also been discussed that MIDST could be related to social classification, decision-making process, establish research programs and argued about the implications of the managers in managing the risks of a firm in the context of issues of diverse teams.
- Organization And Business Practices
The journal is about different business practices through the approach of determined features in the context of human resource management (HRM) practices and innovative outcomes at the level of the workplaces. The innovators are classified by the degree of their success at achieving new business practices and new products and improve the consequences of those practices and product year after year.
The findings signify that workplaces, which establishes strategic targets related to innovation, the motivation of their workforces, creating opportunities for their staffs to act, and also create better utilization of technology, have the tendency to be more determined innovators (Chowhan, Pries & Mann, 2017). The findings of the journal could make the contribution towards the growth of government strategies, which seeks for the improvement of innovative outcomes and better performance of the organization and its business.
