...Int. J. of Human Resource Management 16:4 April 2005 584– 598 The challenge of international human resource management: balancing the duality of strategy and practice Helen De Cieri, Marilyn Fenwick and Kate Hutchings Abstract Over the last two decades there has been an unprecedented increase in the number of organizations that have internationalized their operations.

...1.0Title THE IMPACT OF TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT (TQM) ON CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AND COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE The proposed title for this research study is The Impact of Total Quality Management (TQM) to achieve competitive advantage in the Hospitality Sector. The research will give a background of information and literature review on TQM practices and how it enhances customer satisfaction by offering effective customer service. It will present various methodologies and approaches that will be used to achieve the research objectives. Total quality management has been evolving in the hospitality business since quality assurance was introduced in the 1980s (Breiter et al 1995) 2.0. Introduction The hospitality industry is a service based industry as services are produced and consumed in real time and are inherently variable – from customer to customer, from provider to provider and from time to time for the same customer and/or the same provider (John 2003). Total quality management (TQM) in the hospitality industry has risen to amazing levels due to preferences, customer behavior and competition to retain and attract new customers. This has resulted in the demand for quality service thus necessitating the need to implement TQM strategies to have a competitive edge over other players in the industry. Acceptance of TQM strategies in the hospitality industry (Raj Kumar, 2005), with service quality being an important factor for growth and survival is an integral part to achieve success...

Ronald Buckley University of Oklahoma Gloria Harrell-Cook Mississippi State University Dwight D. Frink University of Mississippi The theory, research, and practice of Human Resource Management (HRM) has evolved considerably over the past century, and experienced a major transformation in form and function primarily within the past two decades. Driven by a number of significant internal and external environmental forces, HRM has progressed from a largely maintenance function, with little if any bottom line impact, to what many scholars and practitioners today regard as the source of sustained competitive advantage for organizations operating in a global economy. In this 25th anniversary Yearly Review issue, we conduct a less comprehensive and more focused review of the field of HRM. In doing so, we attempt to articulate some key concepts and issues that can be productively integrated with HRM to provide some interesting and important directions for future work, and consider ways to bridge the gap between the science and practice of HRM. © 1999 Elsevier Science Inc.

...JOURNAL OF MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING RESEARCH Volume Fifteen 2003 pp. 95–116 Practice Developments in Budgeting: An Overview and Research Perspective Stephen C. Hansen The George Washington University David T. Otley Lancaster University Wim A. Van der Stede University of Southern California Abstract: Practitioners in Europe and the U.S. recently have proposed two distinct approaches to address what they believe are shortcomings of traditional budgeting practices. One approach advocates improving the budgeting process and primarily focuses on the planning problems with budgeting. The other advocates abandoning the budget and primarily focuses on the performance evaluation problems with budgeting. This paper provides an overview and research perspective on these two recent developments. We discuss why practitioners have become dissatisfied with budgets, describe the two distinct approaches, place them in a research context, suggest insights that may aid the practitioners, and use the practitioner perspectives to identify fruitful areas for research. INTRODUCTION udgeting is the cornerstone of the management control process in nearly all organizations, but despite its widespread use, it is far from perfect.1 Practitioners express concerns about using budgets for planning and performance evaluation. The practitioners argue that budgets impede the allocation of organizational resources to their best uses and encourage myopic decision making and other dysfunctional budget games....

...Evidence-based management (EBMgt or EBM) is an emerging movement to explicitly use the current, best evidence in management decision-making. Its roots are in evidence-based medicine, a quality movement to apply the scientific method to medical practice. Evidence-based management entails managerial decisions and organizational practices informed by the best available scientific evidence. Like its counterparts in medicine (e.g., Sackett, et al., 2000) and education (e.g., Thomas & Pring, 2004), the judgments EBMgt entails also consider the circumstances and ethical concerns managerial decisions involve. In contrast to medicine and education, however, EBMgt today is only hypothetical. Contemporary managers and management educators make limited use of the vast behavioral science evidence base relevant to effective management practice (Walshe & Rundall, 1999; Rousseau, 2005, 2006; Pfeffer & Sutton, 2001). An important part of EBMgt is educating current and future managers in evidence-based practices. The EBMgt website maintained at Stanford University provides a repository of syllabi, cases, and tools that can inform the teaching of evidence-based management. Efforts to promote EBMgt face greater challenges than have other evidence-based initiatives. Unlike, medicine, nursing, education, and law enforcement, "Management" is not a profession. There are no established legal or cultural requirements regarding education or knowledge for an individual to become a manager...
