In this paper, we examine disruptions in the automobile manufacturing supply chain that resulted from COVID19 pandemic. We explore relationships between organizational resilience and agility agility. frame exploration terms of rare earth elements (REEs) microchips, supplies come Tier 3 4 chain. look at some adaptations made by Volkswagen to adapt these but note adaptation does not always result...

In the current research, I developed and tested a novel psychological framework that integrated three contemporary career theories (i.e., Protean, Boundaryless, and Social Cognitive Career theories) to understand the process of career adaptation by investigating antecedents and consequences of job-related coping behaviors. I tested differences in adaptation for younger employees (25 to 39) and,...

Business processes are continually subject to changes which must be supported by process models and systems that implement them. This paper deals with the adaptability of process models obeying to specific architectures of Inter-Organizational Workflow (IOWF) such as the “subcontracting” and the “chained execution”. In order to obtain process models easily adaptable, we first propose cooperatio...

Information system (IS) infusion denotes the degree to which an IS is fully integrated into an organization’s or individual’s work practices, and the degree to which the full potential of the IS is being exploited. Most infusion research has focused on broad antecedents of the construct at an organizational level. The current study examines infusion at an individual level. Specifically, it exam...

Organizational sustainability is driven by effectiveness and adaptation. To be sustainable, an organization needs two things: (1) knowledge of its impacts on the world and (2) the capacity to learn and innovate in response (McElroy, 2006a). However, most learning and innovation systems in mainstream business are dysfunctional and unsustainable. In this paper, we propose to measure organizationa...

Many enterprises implemented Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems as a bedrock strategy with a view to integrating all data and bringing an organization into a joint system. However, most enterprises in an attempt to carry out ERP often end up in failure and it seems the probability of the mishaps is considerably high. This paper applies the Organization Fit Theory to examine an organizat...

Automation of organizational processes that make intensive use of expert knowledge has on the intelligent agent paradigm an appropriate metaphor. The idea would be introducing autonomous agents carrying out tasks on behalf of human users in organizational processes. Knowledge transference from experts to autonomous agents has been treated on different ways taking advantage of more than 20 years...

Prior research on global virtual teams (GVTs) identifies ‘cultural discontinuity’ as a salient boundary that needs to be bridged for better performance. Grounding the study in organizational discontinuity theory (ODT), we propose cultural intelligence (CQ) as one of the modalities through which cultural discontinuities in GVTs could possibly be bridged. Situating the discussion, in transactiona...

Organizations are increasingly being described as complex adaptive systems (CAS). In this view, the behavior and structure of an organization emerges out of the interaction of a collection of organizational agents. Seemingly, there is no role for strategic leadership because the system self-organizes. We argue that strategic leaders play a crucial role in moving organizations to the “edge of ch...

There is empirical evidence that established firms often have difficulty adapting to radical technological change. Although prior work in the evolutionary tradition emphasizes the inertial forces associated with the local nature of learning processes, little theoretical attention has been devoted in this tradition to understanding how managerial cognition affects the adaptive intelligence of or...
