This study aimed to implement a systematic review of literature, in order to find theoretical support on the relationship between new product development and product innovation, moderated by environmental turbulence in the technological and market dimensions. It was used the qualitative approach, with data and information collected from published articles on the subject. The criteria researched consisted of: temporal cut from 2000 to May 2015, the article must belong to the area of Business Management or Economy, to present relationship with Environmental Turbulence, Development of New Products and product innovation. In the literature used, it was not possible found any article presenting an integrative model using New Product Development or Product Innovation moderated by environmental turbulence in its two dimensions. Based on the review accomplished, it is possible to define more four subjects to be studied in future empirical works approach these elements

Social Capital and Firm Performance: Moderating Effect of Environmental Turbulence

This study aims to determine the moderating effect of environmental turbulence on the relationship among firm performance, entrepreneurial orientation, entrepreneurial management, and social capital. Along with survey on Indonesia SMEs, the finding shows that social capital plays pivotal role on firm performance. This study also provides evident that that environmental turbulence dampens the positive impact of social capital on firm performance. Under low environmental turbulence, social capital has positive impact on firm performance. However, social capital brings negative impact on firm performance during high environmental turbulence. This provides more fundamental issues on intersection between resource based view (RBV) and contingency theory (CT)

An Investigation of the Environmental Turbulence Factors and their Sources in the Collaboration - Post-harvest Food Loss Relationship

Recent studies suggested that collaboration among upstream agricultural supply chain (ASC) partners will impact and possibly reduce postharvest food loss (PHFL) levels; a possible direct relationship between collaboration and PHFL was indicated. There have been many changes in the ASC’s environment related to globalization, changing consumer attitudes and concerns, changing markets, increased competition, new technologies, commodity price fluctuations, food safety and quality standards and regulations, Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform in EU. The aforementioned changes cause turbulence in ASC’s environment and possibly impact both collaboration level among upstream partners and PHFL levels. The Greek ASC environment is characterized as being highly turbulent due to the changes in EU’s ASC environment. Contingency theory (CT) is utilized to conceptualize the different environmental turbulence factors in the Greek ASC. This research aims to identify the relevant environmental turbulence factors in the Greek ASC that might moderate the collaboration-PHFL relationship in the Greek ASC

HOW ORGANIZATION PERFORMANCE DIFFER FROM KOREAN AND MALAYSIAN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT) COMPANIES?

The main purpose of this study is to highlight the interaction effect between 'market orientation' which is recognized as a sustainable competitive advantage factor in the private sector and ‘environmental turbulence’ on the marketing capabilities which is one of the powerful antecedents of organizational performance, contrasting the IT companies in Korea and Malaysia believed to exist a certain difference in the capitalistic market economy system. It was found that there exists sharp contrast between two countries in that Korea showed a significant interaction effect between customer orientation and environmental turbulence, however, Malaysia showed no significant moderation effect. This result may implicate the difference in the process of market mechanism and environmental turbulence between the two countries

DAMPAK TURBULENSI LINGKUNGAN, SELF-ESTEEM DAN BUDGET EMPHASIS TERHADAP BUDGETARY SLACK

The study aims for: (1) to know how much environmental turbulence, self-esteem and budget emphasis simultaneous affect the slack budgetary; (2) know how much environmental turbulence affects the slack budgetary; (3) know how much self-esteem affects the slack budgetary; (4) knows how much the budget emphasis affects the slack budgetary. This kind of research is quantitative research. The object of this research is boelamo district BKAD. The sample sampling technique in this study is using the tedium sampling method. Data collection was conducted via a survey method using a questionnaire that was directly distributed to all employees in boalemo county records. The study suggests that (1) environmental turbulence, self-esteeme and budget emphasis significantly simultaneously affect the slack budgetary, (2) environment turbulence does not significantly to the slack budgetary, (3) self-esteem has a positive and significant impact on the slack budgetary, (4) budget emphasis have an insignificant positive effect on the slack budgetary

Innovating Mindfully with Service-Oriented Grids - The Role of Organizational Mindfulness in Turbulent Environments

Environmental turbulence as being illustrated by the current international financial crisis leads to a high degree of uncertainty in decision-making processes. However, even in conventional economic cycles, demanding decision processes are exposed to varying levels of environmental turbulence and institutional pressure. Consistent with the extant literature, organizational mindfulness as cognitive pattern is supposed to attenuate arising uncertainty and error in the IS assimilation process. So far, little empirical research has been conducted to quantify the impact of organizational mindfulness on the IS assimilation and business value generation process in industry. Grounded in the technology-organization-environment framework this research approach contributes to the diffusion of innovations and IS assimilation theory by validating the role of organizational mindfulness in interacting with institutional pressure against the background of environmental turbulence. The planned crosscountry (North America, Europe) questionnaire-based field study aims at IS decision makers among the 3000 largest financial services providers worldwide allowing for cross-country comparisons

Mindfully Resisting the Bandwagon – IT Implementation and Its Consequences in the Financial Crisis

Although the ”financial meltdown” between 2007 and 2009 can be substantially attributed to herding behaviour in the subprime market for credit default swaps, a “mindless” IT implementation of participating financial services providers played a major role in the facilitation of the underlying bandwagon. The problem was a discrepancy between two core complementary capabilities: (1.) the (economic-rationalistic) ability to execute financial transactions (to comply with the herd) in milliseconds and (2.) the required contextualized mindfulness capabilities to comprehend the implications of the transactions being executed and the associated IT innovation decisions that enabled these transactions

The development of a strategic control framework and its relationship with management accounting

Management accounting systems have been criticised for being excessively focused on shortterm performance. As a result long-term strategic direction and goals may have been neglected. To help overcome this problem it has been suggested that organisations should adopt strategic management accounting techniques and management control systems which are orientated towards the achievement of strategic goals. This paper argues that integration with strategic control would significantly enhance the relevance of management accounting systems. In developing such an approach this paper first integrates the salient features of the extant strategic control models in a framework that recognises the needs of the current business environment. And second, it examines how strategic control could be used as the basis for developing management accounting systems that have a stronger strategic focus

The Environmental Turbulences Effect on Organizational Learning (Review paper)

The aim of this study is to shed light on the environmental turbulences effect on organizational learning and evaluated degree of turbulence be reviewing the related work. Organizational learning is a field of study in business that is always evolving and generating new techniques for efficiently responding to the environments dynamic and disruptive developments. Organizations who are best able to anticipate and comprehend environmental developments, then proactively position their organization through an effective OL system, have a better chance of establishing a competitive edge. This advantage is based on the organizations capacity to analyze external data and apply that information to the organizations internal processes. This study reported that enhanced organizational capabilities performance, such as improving the pace of fostering innovation, knowledge application, and transfer to mention a few, will arise as a result of the use of this knowledge. Given that an organizations learning process is impacted by, and in many cases based on its ability to respond to environmental turbulence, a logical extension of reasoning would be that environmental turbulence has an impact on organizational learning efficacy. Organizational learning methods that are well-designed and implemented are critical for determining the real amount of environmental turbulence
