- Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explain to what degree supplier relationship obstacles and operational tool obstacles hinder supply chain integration of the performance management (PM) process.Design/methodology/approach – This is a hypothetical‐deductive study, where the results are based on a survey of 257 purchasing managers in nine manufacturing industries in Sweden.Findings – Supplier relationship obstacles (lack of trust, different goals and priorities and lack of parallel communication structure) were found to significantly hinder PM process integration the most, which is in accordance with previous studies. The operational tool obstacles (manual performance data management and non‐standardized performance metrics) were seen on an overall level to hinder PM process integration. However, the hypothesis that non‐standardized performance metrics hinder PM process integration was not verified, which does not accord with previous studies.Research limitations/implications – The use of single informants in data collection presents a limitation of the study.Practical implications – Contrary to previous studies, the paper has applied a broader, quantitative survey methodology, and hence provides deeper knowledge about the impact of obstacles on PM process integration. It identifies critical obstacles which are important for industry to overcome.Originality/value – Most previous studies of supply chain PM are either case‐ or experience‐based. Here, hypotheses are tested on empirical data and general results presented regarding lack of supplier relationships and operational tools as obstacles for supply chain integration of PM.

- Purpose – One practical challenge in managing logistics performance concerns the size, or thenumber of actors involved, in a performance measurement (PM) system. The first objective of thispaper is to describe and compare the advantages and disadvantages of four logistics performancemeasurement system sizes. The second objective is to develop a model of the factors affecting logisticsPM system size.Design/methodology/approach – This is a conceptual paper based on a literature review.Findings – Internal PM systems were related to advantages connected with convenience and theavoidance of implementation problems. Disadvantages of an applied system were severe, especially ina supply chain context. Supply chain PM systems contained attractive advantages that can be reachedwith an applied system. However, a number of disadvantages in the shape of implementationproblems must be handled. A model of the factors affecting the decision on logistics PM system sizeswas developed. Power, purpose and implementation were found to be important factors. Fivepropositions were formulated.Research limitations/implications – The contribution of this paper is mainly theoretical; theresults remain unverified until empirical studies are conducted.Practical implications – The paper can be seen as a first step towards new knowledge on howlogistics PM system size is decided.Originality/value – As little research exists in the area, this paper highlights the theoretical aspectsof a practical challenge

Grundkurs i Organisation: för studenter eller forskare?
- 2009
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Abstract Artikeln fokuserar på grundkurser i organisationsteori (organisation, organisering och ledning, etc.), och på en oroande tendens som visat sig de senaste åren. Denna tendens skulle kunna sammanfattas som att grundkurser i ämnet allt mer blir en kurs för forskare inom ämnet än för studenterna. Detta kan spåras i några uttryck. Det verkar vara oerhört viktigt just inom grundkurser i organisationsteori att lägga 20-30 % på att diskutera ämnets utveckling och gamla "klassiker". Görs detta inom marknadsföring? Ekonomistyrning? Entreprenörskap? För varje år blir det allt mindre utrymme för att diskutera mer relevanta teman och allt mer går åt till att diskutera att efter Fayol kom Weber och glöm inte Follett, och sedan Simon och… Ett annat uttryck är en närmast besatthet vid perspektiv. Särskilt ska perspektiven perspektiveras utifrån genus, etik, hållbarhet eller något annat politiskt korrekt begrepp. Det blir allt mindre utrymme kvar för att diskutera mer grundläggande teorier och modeller. Hur fungerar exempelvis grupper? Via nerslag i bl a kursplaner och läroböcker försöker jag illustrera denna tendens och lyfta frågor kring vad det är vi erbjuder studenterna i dylika kurser och vad vi kanske skulle kunna erbjuda dem.
