Research of the relationship between management control systems with different strategies and business performance- An example of Taiwan Synthetic Resin Industry

Wang, Yi-Ling 02 September 2011 (has links)
This research aims to discuss the influences of strategy choices on the management control systems. There is no absolute definition, range and classification of management control system which mainly includes management accounting and other controls. Moreover, management strategy is produced by the business after a series of evaluation and analysis of the internal and external environment. It is the business choice while proceeding resource operation and distribution and also the guidelines of business management activities. Management strategy makes the business achieve the goals, create competitive advantages and get more markets and chances in the intensely competitive environment. This research is explorative and uses business strategy as the variable and chooses the synthetic resin industry as the interview object. With Porter¡¦s general business strategy as the strategy classification standard, we differentiate the interviewed businesses into variation strategy and low-cost strategy and interview the outstanding persons separately. This research analyzes and induces the interview results as the following, 1. The group of cost-leading strategy emphasizes standards and is partial to centralization. In the application of management control system, they emphasize formal control and traditional cost control. However, the variation strategy emphasizes conformability and effective business strategy control. 2. The management control system of variation strategy company is partial to interactive control system and the management control system of low-cost strategy company prefers the diagnostic control system. 3. The degree of budget participation in variation strategy company is higher and it is lower in low-cost strategy company. 4. The degree of formalization in variation strategy company is higher and it is lower in low-cost strategy company. 5. The degree of participation and communication of interactive control system in variation strategy company is higher, and it is lower in low-cost strategy company. 6. Complete management control system helps the strategy performance.

Strategiorientering och finansiella bootstrappingmetoder i småföretag : en kvantitativ studie om småföretagares strategiorientering och dess påverkan på val av finansiella bootstrappingmetoder

Jusufovska, Sevgi, Krasniqi, Albana January 2019 (has links)
Denna kandidatuppsats syftar till att undersöka hur småföretags strategiorientering påverkar det val av alternativa finansiella bootstrappingmetoder, som småföretag väljer att tillämpa. Småföretagare motsvarar 96 procent av samtliga svenska verksamma företag och utgör därmed en betydande roll i samhället. Detta för att de ses som samhällsbärare, då fyra av fem arbetstillfällen skapas av svenska småföretag och bidrar vidare till välfärd. Trots deras betydande roll i samhället möts de av finansiella barriärer som leder till att småföretag hamnar i ett så kallat finansiellt gap. För att ta sig ur det finansiella gapet, tvingas småföretagare finna alternativa finansieringsmetoder. De alternativa finansieringsmetoderna benämns finansiella bootstrappingmetoder, vilka har kommit att bli avgörande för småföretags överlevnad. Småföretags strategiorientering anses påverka valet av finansiella boostrappingmetoder. Således omfattas studien av småföretags strategiorientering, vilka har identifierats utifrån Miles och Snows typologi. En kvantitativ forskningsansats med en positivistisk forskningsfilosofi har legat till grund för studien vilket möjliggör att resultatet ska kunna generaliseras. Studiens enkätundersökning omfattar 84 svenska småföretag som bidragit till studiens resultat. Slutligen är studiens resultat att prospektörer är positivt relaterade till användningen av de ägarrelaterade- och minimerande bootstrappingmetoderna. Medan försvarare är positivt relaterade till användningen av den relationsorienterade bootstrappingmetoden. / This bachelor thesis aims to explore how strategy orientations influence the choice of financial bootstrapping methods among small firms. Small firms represent 96 percent of all Swedish operating companies and thus represent a significant role in the society. This because they contribute to welfare, since four out of five jobs are created by Swedish small firms. Despite their significant role in the society, they are faced with financial barriers that lead to small firms ending up in a so called financial gap. To get out of the financial gap, small firms are forced to find alternative financing methods. The alternative financing methods are called financial bootstrapping methods, which have become crucial for the survival of small firms. The strategy orientation in small firms is considered to affect the choise of financial bootstrapping methods. Thus, the study covers small business strategy orientation which has been identified based on Miles and Snow’s typology. A quantitative research approach with a positivist research philosophy has been the bases of the study which enables the result to be generalized. The survey included 84 Swedish small firms that contributed to the results of this study. Finally, the results of this study are that prospectors are positively related to the use of the owner-related and minimizing bootstrapping methods. While defenders are positively related to the use of the relationship-oriented bootstrapping method.

Strategy analysis frameworks for strategy orientation and focus

Isoherranen, V. (Ville) 17 April 2012 (has links)
Abstract The primary research target of this dissertation is to develop new strategy analysis frameworks, focusing on analysing changes in strategic position as a function of variations in life cycle s-curve/time/typology/market share/orientation. Research is constructive and qualitative by nature, with case study methodology being the adopted approach. The research work is carried out as a compilation dissertation containing four (4) journal articles. The theoretical framework of this dissertation is built from strategy analysis, as well as from strategy orientation and typology theories. Strategy analysis focuses to examining the strengths of business positioning; understanding the external and internal factors that influence a position or orientation. In strategy analysis, several frameworks or tools can be used. The SWOT, PEST, Five Forces, Four Corners, Value Chain, and Blue Ocean strategy profile analysis frameworks are introduced in this research. Strategy orientation or focus can be described as the underlying attributes of a company’s strategy, which directs decision making and orients the activities within a company towards a specific course. Using strategy orientation or focus as a means of innovating and guiding decision making fosters an environment conducive to strategizing, thereby facilitating the formulation of the actual strategies followed by the company. In this dissertation, the Miles and Snow (1978) strategy typology is introduced along with market orientation, product orientation, technology orientation, and customer orientation (focus). This research contributes to existing literature in that it provides a set of strategy analysis frameworks. Each of the frameworks answers a specific research question within the research target. The frameworks created are life cycle with a strategy typology framework, four-way strategy orientation framework, strategy orientation framework with market share analysis, and orientation with a typology framework. All these frameworks can be used individually. Together, they build an analysis toolbox that can generate valuable information from analysis. The developed strategy analysis frameworks are tested with two case companies’ strategy materials taken from publicly available annual reports. The case companies are Nokia and Amer. Empirical results show that the developed strategy analysis frameworks can generate new information regarding case businesses strategy, and detect changes in strategic positions. The theoretical implications of this dissertation contribute to research on strategy analysis, and are a result of combining the perspectives adopted in the strategy analysis frameworks with those of the strategy orientation domain, thereby creating new strategy orientation analysis frameworks. Areas for further research include the linkage of business success to orientations, transformation strategies, and consumer focus as elements of strategy formulation. / Tiivistelmä Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena on kehittää uusia strategian analyysikehikoita, joitten tavoitteena on tutkia muutoksia strategisessa asemassa. Muutosten lähteenä voivat olla vaihtelut elinkaaren/ajan/typologian/markkinaosuuden tai orientaation suhteen. Tutkimus on konstruktiivista ja laadullista, käyttäen case-tapaus menetelmää. Tutkimus on toteutettu julkaisuväitöskirjana, sisältäen neljä (4) tieteellistä julkaisua. Tämän tutkimuksen teoriaosuus on rakennettu strategia-analyysin, strategisen suuntautumisen ja typologian teorioista. Strategia-analyysissa tutkitaan yrityksen strategisen aseman vahvuutta, pyrkien ymmärtämään ulkoisten ja sisäisten tekijöiden vaikutuksen asemaan tai strategian suuntautumiseen. Strategia-analyysissa voidaan käyttää useita analyysikehikoita tai työkaluja. Tämän tutkimuksen teoriaosuudessa esitellään SWOT, PEST, Five Forces, Four Corners, arvoketju ja sinisen meren strategian analyysikehikot. Strategiseksi suuntaumiseksi tai keskittymiseksi voidaan luonnehtia niitä strategian piileviäkin ominaisuuksia, jotka tosiasiassa ohjaavat päätöksentekoa ja suuntavat yrityksen toimintoja kohti tiettyä päämäärää. Strateginen suuntautuminen tai keskittyminen ohjaa yrityksen todellisen strategisen suunnan määrittämistä. Tutkimuksen teoriaosuudessa esitellään Miles ja Snown (1978) strategiatypologia, kuten myös markkinasuuntautunut, tuotesuuntautunut, teknologiasuuntautunut ja asiakaskeskeisen strategian tunnuspiirteet. Tämän tutkimuksen tuloksena on syntynyt kokoelma strategian analyysikehikoita. Jokainen rakennettu analyysikehikko vastaa erilliseen tutkimuskysymykseen tutkimustavoitteen sisällä. Rakennetut kehikot ovat elinkaarimallin ja strategia typologia -analyysikehikko, neljän-suunnan strategisen suuntautumisen analyysikehikko, strategisen suuntaumisen ja markkinaosuuden analyysikehikko sekä strategisen suuntautumisen ja typologian analyysikehikko. Kaikkia näitä kehikoita voidaan käyttää erikseen strategian analysointiin. Yhdessä nämä kehikot muodostavat arvokkaan analyysityökalupakin. Kehitettyjä strategian analyysikehikkoja on testattu kahden case yrityksen strategia-aineistolla, jotka ovat olleet saatavilla julkisista vuosikertomuslähteistä. Case yrityksinä ovat Nokia ja Amer. Tutkimustulokset osoittavat, että kehitetyt analyysikehikot pystyvät tuottamaan uutta tietoa case yritysten strategiasta ja havainnoimaan muutoksia strategisessa asemassa. Tämän tutkimuksen tulokset luovat uutta tietoa strategisesta analyysista. Tutkimus yhdistää strategia-analyysin ja strategisen orientaation tutkimusta, ja luo uusia strategisen suuntautumisen analyysikehikoita. Jatkotutkimuskohteina voivat olla niin yrityksen liiketaloudellisen menestyksen suhde strategiseen orientaatioon, muutosstrategiat sekä asiakaskeskeisyys osana strategian muodostamista.
