Multiple strategy paradigms: an integration framework

Article Abstract:

Much of the research carried out on management practice looks at only one function of management. The researchers tend to examine each paradigm as if it is in opposition to all the others. They fail to offer ways how the different paradigms could be brought together. Even those researchers who do look more closely at the complex nature of management not consider any similarities which may occur. Researchers must consider more than one strategy model because in reality managers have to cope with a number of goals, aspirations and complications when formulating their plans.

The time series behavior and predictive-ability results of annual value added data

Article Abstract:

The time series behavior and accuracy of four value added (VA) measures, namely, gross VA based on sales, net VA based on sales, gross VA based on production and net VA based on production are examined. Results show that the four VA measures can be described as a random walk process. It is also argued that factors such as economic conditions and business policies affect a company's earnings and VA figures.
