Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leaders have a duty to make decisions that advance the course of their organisations. Cognitive limitations emanating from human bounded rationality, as well as complex external environments, place a limit on a leader's ability to make quality decisions. This problem becomes pronounced when leaders have to make strategic decisions; which are often irreversible and commit scarce organisational resources. There is, therefore creates a pressing need for organisations to develop capabilities that can aid leaders and their organisation discern their complex environment and improve decision making. This research was an inquiry into the development of dynamic capabilities that would aid sense-making, and decision making. The focal point for this inquiry was the role of Data science in enabling the creation of sense-making capabilities. The study deployed an inductive qualitative methodology suitable for exploring the link between data science-enabled dynamic capabilities, and strategic decision making, as an emerging area of work. Part of this exploration involved reviewing existing literature from both business and academic sources. Data collection from participants ensured the infusion of domain knowledge into this study as augmented by academic literature in order to improve the reliability of the findings.

Download or read book Big Data Capability Customer Agility and Organization Performance written by Ghazwan Hassna and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper responds to the continual call from both academic scholars and industry professionals to theorize about the influence of “big data” on organization competitiveness and performance. To resolve the ambiguity surrounding “big data” term we propose a new construct called “big data capability.” We consider “big data capability” as a higher-level construct consists of three sub lower- level constructs: big data infrastructure capability, big data management capability, and big data science capability. We argue that big data capability improves customer sensing capability, and we clarify that this impact is moderated by both the organization market orientation and the data-driven decision making practice. We further stress that creating the competitive action that contributes to the organization performance requires the alignment and fit between the two components of customer agility: customer sensing capability and customer responding capability. From the theoretical perspective, the paper contributes to the strategic IS literature by extending the dynamic capability theory through introducing the big data capability as a precedent to customer sensing agility, the dynamic capability. The paper also extends the theory by introducing both market orientation and data driven culture as moderators to the impact of big data capability on customer sensing agility. From the practical perspective, the paper provides useful insights for business and IT leaders who are interested in building their big data capability to improve their organizations competitiveness in the market.

Download or read book Business Model Innovation as a Dynamic Capability written by Marc Sniukas and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-21 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study adopts a dynamic capabilities perspective to explore the activities and processes through which business model innovations arise in established organisations. New and innovative business models are fundamental to the commercialisation of the latest technologies, performance, and competitive advantage, as well as value creation for customers, the focal company and its ecosystem. Yet, our current understanding of how established companies design and implement new business models is limited by a lack of empirical research. Based on a review of relevant literature, business model innovation is presented and explored as a dynamic capability. The book subsequently uses proven methodologies to gather and analyse data from five case studies in the manufacturing, financial services, media, consulting, and healthcare industries. The framework developed here offers a novel understanding of how business model innovations come about in established organisations, a practice it dubs ‘crafting business models in statu nascendi’.

Download or read book Influencing Organizational Effectiveness written by Linda Holbeche and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-12-08 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Linda Holbeche offers an historical narrative on the changing landscape of work since the 1980s and considers how definitions of organizational effectiveness have changed over time. She considers the characteristics and effects of the neo-liberal work culture of new capitalism, and how HRM practices have contributed to shaping this work culture. Influencing Organizational Effectiveness challenges mainstream thinking around business strategy, change and organizational effectiveness, and about the roles of HRM and management. While the overall tone of the book is critical, Holbeche argues that HRM can play an active role in giving voice to employees and advancing organizational effectiveness. Grounded in research, this book includes reflective questions, case studies and helpful guidelines to support HRM and organizational development professionals and master's-level students. It illustrates what ‘better’ might look like and how HRM can contribute to a new definition of effectiveness which is aligned to the needs of modern organizations.
