    Notes: One of the keys to success in the digital economy is the appropriate management of human capital. Because of sweeping technological changes, old behaviors of human capital management may not be suitable in the digital domain. Traditional businesses will need to evolve and radically transition themselves into an electronic business mode. This study implements a rigorous qualitative case study methodology to examine an electronic business corporate entrepreneurship team within a large, traditional business. Faced with the need to work at "Web speed", this group had to adapt quickly, both to complete its task on time and to master a steep learning curve. This process is examined systematically, in order to examine the major research question: "What are the changes necessary to support the transition of a new venture creation team as it moves from the traditional domain into the digital economy domain?" Through in-depth interviews, this study examines the transition process, drawing conclusions that may have far-reaching ramifications for both practice and theory in human capital management.

    Toward a conceptual framework of employee volunteerism: an aid for the human resource manager (2000)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Management decision 38 (2000), S. 280-287

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: The purpose of the research is to provide HR managers with some guidance, as they develop employee volunteer programs to meet specific workforce needs. Structured interviews were conducted with eight employees. The data suggest that employees who volunteer time believe that such experiences benefit them personally and improve their ability to perform their work duties. There were slight differences in program type, with those employees involved in programs characterized by high management support and commitment tending to perceive that they reap high overall rewards for their volunteer activities. The perceived impact of volunteer activities on employees included: an improved ability to cope with job challenges; the development of contacts and skills that can be used on the job; improved self-esteem and a sense of pride. These factors can increase employees' ability to be proactive problem solvers on the job.

    Developing and validating an international business negotiator's profile: The China context (2001)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Journal of managerial psychology 16 (2001), S. 364-389

    Notes: Reports on the development and the validation of a measurement scale of International Business Negotiators (IBNs), derived from the literature and confirmed byself-perceptions of Chinese business negotiators. Following a qualitative approach, the authors analyzed literature based on prior works in international business negotiations, cross-cultural management, international business executives, and Sino-Western business negotiations, to derive themes and items for developing an IBNs measurement scale. The key-informant method was used to survey Chinese business negotiators (N1=92, N2 =478) for operationalizing the IBNs scale. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, as well as structural equation modeling analysis, were carried out to examine and to validate factor structures, internal consistency, unidimensionality and the construct validity of the IBNs. The results justify a ten-factor IBNs scale with significant psychometric properties.

    State-owned enterprises (SOEs) in Vietnam - Perceptions of strategic direction for a society in transition (2000)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of public sector management 13 (2000), S. 169-177

    Topics: Political Science , Economics
    Notes: Explores, using face-to-face interviews, the perceptions of managers in state-owned enterprises in Vietnam, as to their strategic plans. Given that many of these enterprises will have to be privatized, sometime in the future, it is surprising that little thought has been given to this eventuality. Suggests that the massive nature of the state sector (40-50 per cent of the economy) will make it difficult for policy makers to enact change. Outlines a macro-economic formula for planned, gradual conversion, keeping this reality in mind.

    Guanxi and the realities of career development: a Chinese perspective (2000)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Career development international 5 (2000), S. 369-378 
    Details
    ISSN: 1362-0436

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Understanding and utilizing guanxi presents a continuing challenge for western firms in China. This article reviews current research, highlighting two different types of guanxi: person-to-person and firm-to-firm. Based on interviews with 43 Chinese managers, it is suggested that firm-to-firm guanxi may be the more valuable to western companies, as most expatriate managers are sojourners, destined to stay only a relatively short time in China. The ramifications for career planning are discussed within the context of a model that illustrates how firm-to-firm guanxi can be created.

    The missing link: coaching as a method of improving managerial skills in smaller businesses in Asia (2001)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Career development international 6 (2001), S. 218-225 
    Details
    ISSN: 1362-0436
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Using the example of a "successful" managerial training programme as a starting point, this article illustrates how training addresses only the routine, or core aspects of the small business manager's job. Thus, training is discussed in terms of where this activity should fit into the developmental paradigm. Then, utilizing recent advances in executive coaching techniques, a different learning model is created, one that builds on traditional training, but focuses on behavioural change.

    Changing the management mindset: management style and coping with world-class competition (2000)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Management decision 38 (2000), S. 607-612 
    Details

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Using the Chinese, family-owned manufacturing firm as a primary example, Asian styles of management are examined in light of their ability to compete in a free-trade environment. It is concluded that traditional, authoritarian, relationship-based management concepts are not likely to fare well in fast-changing global arenas. Nevertheless, a model for expanding into international markets is presented, with the realization that most Chinese-managed firms would be advised to adopt regional rather than global strategies.
