Mesure de la performance, système d'incitation et assignation des droits décisionnels : une analyse de la performance sous le prisme du design organisationnel. Le cas du secteur hôtelier en région PACA / Performance measure, incentive system and assignment of decision rights : an analysis of the performance through the prism of organizational design. The case of the French Riviera hotelsBénet, Nathalie 11 December 2014 (has links)
La littérature en marketing souligne l’importance du personnel en contact avec la clientèle dans le secteur des services. Nous développons une recherche ancrée en contrôle de gestion qui intègre ce résultat en analysant le lien entre (1) le contrôle de la performance opérationnelle et (2) la performance organisationnelle dans l’hôtellerie. Nous considérons plus précisément les relations entre l’assignation des droits décisionnels, le système de mesure de la performance, et le système d’incitation dédiés au personnel en contact avec la clientèle ; et leur influence sur la performance de l’organisation. Ces relations sont étudiées à la lumière du critère stratégique d’orientation marché, traduit à partir d’une étude qualitative par le concept de proposition de valeur hôtelière. Afin de tester notre modèle fondé sur la théorie de l’agence et sur la base d’une étude menée auprès des hôteliers en PACA, nous utilisons une méthodologie quantitative, l’approche PLS. Les résultats conduisent, d’une part, à valider les liens de complémentarité entre les trois composantes du design organisationnel ; et d’autre part, à rejeter les hypothèses liées à l’existence de relations entre (1) le design organisationnel et la performance organisationnelle, et (2) la proposition de valeur et le design organisationnel. D’un point de vue global, ces résultats sont cohérents avec littérature, et montrent la nécessité de considérer l’assignation des droits de décision lors de l’étude des systèmes de contrôle de gestion. Ils offrent un éclairage sur le secteur des services en montrant l’importance de la mesure non financière dans les pratiques d’incitation aux niveaux inférieurs de la hiérarchie. / The marketing literature indicates that employees in contact with the customers in the service sector are prominent. This research in management accounting considers this result and investigates the relations between the control of operational performance and the organizational performance in the hotel industry. Specifically, we are interested in the relations between assignment of decision rights, performance measurement system and incentive system dedicated to employees in contact with customers, and we consider the effects of this organizational design on organizational performance. These relations are studied in light of the strategic concept of market orientation, this one being operationalized through a qualitative study of the concept of hotel value proposition. In order to test our agency model, we use a PLS approach on the basis of an empirical study of hotels in PACA. Our results indicate support to the hypothesized positive relations between assignment of decision rights and use of incentive systems, and between use of incentive systems and non-Financial measurement. We find no support to the hypotheses that organizational design is positively related to organizational performance, and that hotel value proposition influences organizational design. Overall, these results are consistent with prior literature indicating that assignment of decision rights and management control systems are complementary choices. Furthermore, they provide insights on the specificities of service activities, as they indicate the importance of non-Financial performance measurement in incentive systems at the worker level.

Financial performance measurement of manufacturing small and medium enterprises in Pretoria : a multiple exploratory case studyIsmaila, Bouba 11 1900 (has links)
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) contribute substantially in economies around the world and in South Africa in particular. This study aimed to explore and describe the financial performance measures currently used by manufacturing SMEs in Pretoria. Semi-structured interviews were conducted at the participant SMEs’ premises in order to gather the information.
It was found that most of the respondents use financial ratios, but to a limited extent, when measuring their financial performance. The use of bankruptcy prediction models is totally absent among the participants.
It has been recommended that SMEs use more ratios from the literature that have been proven to be the best financial measures, and the six ratios that have worked well for some of the participants in the study. It is also recommended that SME owners enrol their financial staff for training in bankruptcy prediction models, and use financial software packages if they can afford them. / Graduate School for Business Leadership / (M.Tech.

CEO Compensation and the Relationship with Company Growth : An Analysis of Swedish Listed OMX Stockholm CompaniesNordlund, Albin, Pettersson Sango, Mathias January 2022 (has links)
As time progresses and compensation increases for CEOs, the need for information will be required to debate whether it is rational for CEOs to receive more pay in various forms. According to agency theory, CEOs have an intrinsic need to act in their self-interests, while the shareholder requires value creation and implements various safeguards to ensure that the CEOs do what they are expected to do. Therefore, corporate governance, which is a part of corporations' mechanisms, could be an act to minimise agency costs while forming the CEOs' compensation and controlling the work with various measures. Financial performance methods themselves, such as comparing revenue between years to control CEOs' work, are indeed essential to see if these could influence the CEOs' agenda. There have been previous studies regarding CEO compensation and company growth. However, there is a lack of research made in Sweden, especially for listed companies on OMX Stockholm. This research found a relationship between CEO compensation and firm growth. Nonetheless, previous research has shown contradicting results. This thesis performed a panel data regression that includes 354 unique firms that formed the OMX Stockholm PI, an index on Nasdaq. The firms have been observed for seven years, creating a data set with approximately 2,500 observations.
