The document discusses the need for a fundamental rethinking of business theory and strategies in light of sustainable development. It argues that making money can no longer be the sole focus of businesses and that they must consider their ecological and societal impacts.

They also raise whether public policy needs to better regulate businesses to align with societal needs. Six academic articles supporting a shift in perspectives on business management and strategy are referenced.

Here are the key points about OSA pathogenesis:
- Overweight/obesity and excess regional adipose tissue are major risk factors for OSA.
- However, other factors also interact, such as craniofacial abnormalities and alterations in upper airway (UA) structure.
- Studies have found that craniofacial abnormalities and smaller UA size increase the risk of OSA, independent of obesity.
- Factors like overweight/obesity can worsen OSA by increasing pressure on the UA from surrounding fatty tissues. But abnormalities in UA structure and craniofacial features also play important roles.
- A combination of anatomical and adiposity factors likely interact to cause the airway

Nietzsche viewed priests ambivalently, seeing them as both the greatest haters but also the most intelligent due to their role representing ressentiment against the noble classes. While priests promoted slave morality that appealed to the common people, Nietzsche also acknowledged their intellectual abilities and cultural influence through establishing new systems of values. Overall, his perspective on the priestly figure was complex, containing both criticism and recognition of their social and ideological impact.

The day before launching NASA engineers had a meeting with the Morton Thiokol their contracting
firm to discuss the problems that would arise in launching the space shuttle in the low temperatures
forecasted for the next day. The Morton Thiokol engineers said it was unsafe for the launch of the
shuttle noting the 7 out of 24 shuttles launches in the past that had a problem with the O–ring that
was related to the low temperatures. Seeing that NASA was not happy about this, Morton Thiokol

Managing Team Conflict
Introduction
Teams are considered the catalyst and solution to the challenge of attaining very complex, highly
integrated goals and objectives across an enterprise. The emphasis on teams is so significant today
that it is common to find their use across broad geographic distances, ensuring an organization has
access to the best talent globally regardless of location. This is the concept of virtual teams, and their
continual and rapid adoption is reordering the management and leadership landscape in many
organizations today (Ayoko, Konrad, Boyle, 2012). The existence of virtual teams is also completely
changing the nature of team conflict as well (Purvanova, Bono, 2009). The intent of this analysis is
to evaluate the best practices leaders can use to bring change into their organizations successfully,
while also using management and leadership strategies to prevent and minimize conflict. The
techniques that have proven successful in minimizing conflict are also discussed.
Organizational Change, Team Conflict Management and Resolution
The strongest catalyst that leads to successful change management over time is the commitment
from a leader within the organization to support the transition and mitigate the negative effect on
employees (Felfe, Schyns, 2004). This is continually seen in the context of how transformational

These investments can then be used to measure key marketing outcomes such as changes in

Kumar and Michandani want marketers to identify social media users who are both influential and
particularly interested in the company's product or service category. Incentivize those influencers to
talk about the company's product or service. Use metrics to calculate the value of an individual's
influence. The authors developed a seven–step approach to ensure a successful social media
campaign. The authors suggest that "by developing and implementing this seven–step method to
first identify the net influence wielded by a user in a social network and then to predict that user's
ability to generate the viral spread of information, businesses can identify the "right" individuals to
engage in social media conversations to promote WOM. Further, they found that by linking the
generated WOM to actual sales, social media can be used to induce positive WOM, spread brand
knowledge, generate sales and increase return on investment." (Kumar and Michandandi, 2012)

Toyota grew at a record speed and could not keep up with the speed in which it was growing. They
are a centralized company and Japan only made the decisions. This prevented the company to keep
up with the safety problems. The process that Toyota external suppliers follow when improving
product and making sure the product is functioning properly before shipping to Toyota needs to be
improved before they release the product from their warehouse to be sent to Toyota. This problem
began when the company started to rapidly grow. Toyota's lack of communication led to the faulty

It is important that Toyota improve their communication and process of evaluating their parts
because if they don't they risk losing customers and market shares. An improved process would also
give them reassures that this issue does not arise again. According to Porter (1996) "Delivering
greater value allows a company to charge a higher average unit price; greater efficiency result in
lower average unit cost" (p.62). Toyota needs to focus more on quality than quantity. After quality is
critiqued then they can continue to grow at a lower rate. If Toyota gives their North American
companies power to make decisions than it would be a huge improvement to the companies and less
risk of safety issues.
Toyota showing their customers, potential customers and shareholders that they have improved the
way they communicate their process and procedures will lead to gaining their confidence back in the
way Toyota does business. This will also allow Toyota to gain their good reputation back and lead to
gaining profits. Communication is the most important asset in how a company does business and is

A job for a leader is to make decisions. Most managers or executives have to engage in some aspect
of decision making including coming up with ideas, evaluative alternatives, or implementing
directives (Brousseau et al., 2006). However, it could be a critical issue for decision makers to build
up proper decisions in various situations. Hence, how to adopt suitable technique in decision making
processes is a significant text for them. This essay firstly is going to discuss the benefits of
automated decision making due to improvement of technology, such as effective quality and

In the thinking mode, executives can make decisions that are broadly defined and consist of multiple
courses of action (Brousseau et al., 2006).
Successful managers in organisations are more analytic in their style while they progress in their
jobs (Brousseau et al., 2006). Further, Elbanna and Child (2007) prove that rationality has a positive
relationship with organisational outcomes.
Nonetheless, some constraints of rational decision making process should be pointed out. Firstly, in
Brousseau et al. (2006) study, significant differences of global management culture are
demonstrated. For instance, Americans stand apart in using a flexible thinking style more and more
when they progress in their position, but the situation is reversed in Latin America. Thus, global
management should be aware of differences in culture. Moreover, real–life decision making makes
more sense than people think because so much of it is beyond conscious thinking (Mintzberg and
Westley, 2001).
Intuition
To date, researchers have emphasised rational decision making processes rather than intuitive
processes (Elbanna and Child, 2007). However, all the data or information in the world cannot

Many people get satisfaction from their work and take pride in what they do, while others may view
it as only as a mere way of survival. In an attempt to identify successful approaches to management,
theorists and social psychologists have expounded theories on human motivation and skills. Social
psychologist Douglas McGregor set forth two contrasting theories on human motivation and
management in the 1960's: Theory X and the Theory Y. McGregor promoted Theory Y as the basis
of good management practice, pioneering the argument that workers are not merely pawns in the
company, as his Theory X type organizations seemed to believe (Cronkhite,2007). Both theories
look at how a manager's perceptions of what motivates his or her team members affect the way he or
she behaves allowing one to adapt their approach. McGregor's Theories X and Y Many people get

Foundations of Excellent Leadership Are Timeless
Introduction
It is often said that a manager is what one does and leader is who one is. This is especially the case
during times of turbulent economic, social and political change. In the debate of whether the
effectiveness of a leader's communication skills is dependent on their age or generation, one must
take into account one of the most critical skills in any leaders' skill set, and that is emotional
intelligence (EI) (Avolio, Yammarino, 2002). Great leadership is timeless as it is predicated on
respect and motivation of subordinates and peers and subordinates, along with a very clear focus on
results attained through shared vision. It is the intent of this analysis to show that transformational
leadership is timeliness because it is predicated on principles applicable to each generation. The
impact of technology on leadership is to accelerate transparency and trust across entire organizations
when transformational leaders are driving progress to shared goals and objectives (Bernoff, Li,
2008). Technology will amplify excellent leadership and shine a very bright light on mediocre and
inferior leadership over time (Gilley, Dixon, Gilley, 2008).

When it comes to the financial barriers that will need to be overcame, there are a number of ways to
help gather enough revenue to undertake such a green work project. Let 's face it, there is going to a
massive amount of capital that will need to be raised, in some form or fashion, to ensure that the
completion of the entire project will occur. First of all, there will need to be major cutbacks in each
department in many different ways. This will help to raise some of the capital. One of the ways that
this can be achieved is be the hiring of new employees through temp services instead of hiring new
employees themselves. By doing this, the cost of hourly wages and salaries of management can be
controlled and at a minimum. Another step that will need to be taken is the instillation of green
teams within each department of the entire plant. Each department will need to come up with ways
to move their own department towards being more sustainable and focus on this in a major way. By
doing this, Riordan will be able to cut cost down quite a bit and free up some capital to have for the

Nunes and Merrihue (2007) make the case that mass advertising still has power even if it is harder to
reach large amounts of individuals. They point out that things like TV commercials rose to
prominence because they were "bottlenecks" where a captive audience could be found. There are
still bottlenecks today, and where these are to be found, there remain opportunities for marketers to
utilize mass advertising. These can include elevators, airplanes and restrooms. They point out some
other techniques as well. One is the Trojan horse, where ads are on items that are commonly seen
such as coffee cups. Ads found in unusual places are also more easily remembered. Targeting people
at play is also suggested, such as placing beer ads on golf carts.
Schultz (2007) has some suggestions for improving a company's marketing. The first is to improve
marketing capabilities, especially the functionality of marketing in an interactive marketplace. The
second is to improve the customer focus, aligning the organization's tactics with its customer's

Socio–cultural Social issues include population demographics (such as growth rate or age profile),
employment patterns, income levels and population health and education. The above affect the
pricing of the product and how the product is advertised, for example. Cultural behaviour is not
always easy to analyse as it comprises many underlying assumptions which are hard to change
intentionally but which evolve over time (Mullins, 1985). Methods of conducting business are
altered by these cultural concerns. Technological This refers to the means and the methods used to
produce the product or the service supplied (Worthington and Britton, 2009). Although this involves
more than information technology, IT is becoming increasingly important. An organisation needs to
know what technologies are being used by its competitors in order to remain in the market and not
fall behind. To make its product more accessible to customers, a firm must also know what
technologies are being used by them and how these technologies affect the firm's procedures. In a
time where customers can read information on or buy products from firms around the globe,
business conduct must adapt to technologies. This is discussed in Iammarino and Michie's article

Dilemma/ Struggle of Established Firms
The idea of implementing radical/ disruptive innovation in mature firms is discussed in the article of
Richard Leifer; Gina Colarelli O'Connor and Mark Rice, "Implementing radical innovation in
mature firms" revealing the fact that there is increasing evidence of breakthrough innovation in the
competitive marketplace today, but there is uncertainty on whether it is worth risk taking today?!

40. Aligning IT with Business Strategy Essay
Is it smart for companies to invest heavily in information technology (IT)? Numerous studies
indicate that excessive IT spending will usually reduce company profits and slow productivity.
According to an article in the MIT Sloan Management Review, "Avoiding the Alignment Trap in
Information Technology," IT can become a huge bottleneck to growth in companies if they focus on
the wrong remedies for their IT problems (Shpilberg, Berez, Puryear, & Shah, 2007). The article
first focuses on Charles Schwab and its IT struggles during the early 2000's. Then, it presents a
study on 504 companies, and IT's effect on their revenue growth. Lastly, it covers the steps to ensure
success in IT's effectiveness. Charles Schwab is a Fortune 500 Company ... Show more content on

In addition, aligning each department to a different system or standard doesn't work because a
company needs all departments functioning at the same pace and every department must rely on
each other. The largest group (about 75% of surveyed companies) spent the average amount on IT,
but growth was slightly below average (Shpilberg et al., 2007). Companies in the "The Maintenance
Zone" have IT systems that are less aligned to business objectives and are, as a result, less effective
as a whole. The authors state that the group treats IT more like plumbing, "bumping along" until
something bad happens. However, since the group's deviation of IT spending and revenue growth
from the average is minimal, the article doesn't put much focus on the "The Maintenance Zone." The
next group, experiencing "Well–Oiled IT," were more focused on execution and effectiveness at
getting IT projects up and running (on a budget). They spent 15% below average on IT, yet revenue
growth was 11% above average (Shpilberg et al., 2007). Although the group's revenue growth was
above average, the companies just didn't spend enough on IT to maximize their potential. More
specifically, they didn't spend enough to align the effective IT systems to their business objectives.
The final group of companies, in the "IT–Enabled Growth" zone, experienced the upside of keeping

conclusion before we get to know someone or something. In my essay I will explain why people

Jumping to conclusion We always think we know something or someone better than we actually do.

But decisive dialogues can not be duplicated. These factors constitute an organization's most
enduring competitive advantage, and they are heavily dependent on the character of dialogue that a

Dialogue is not just a path of productive conversation but it also implies reflectiveness or positive
response. It is not just improving the effectiveness of business and proving objectives but its create
the relation between two parties eg. Stakeholder and owner, manager and worker, owner and
manager etc. in dialogue "each person is participating, is partaking the whole meaning of the group

Nine years ago when I first joined faculty of engineering at Alexandria University, I would have
never imagined that I would apply for a Management PhD program one day. My dream was to
become an electrical engineer but another thing was perfectly destined and planned for me. It has all

impact of the plan for public relations; they are objectives (Collis & Rukstad, 2008). The specific
activities that are put in place to ensure that some objectives achieved for a positive impact are also
not objectives but just tactics. Strategies combine the aspects of both tactics and objectives. The
strategy statement specifies key functions; the tactics can be said to be a clearer version of the
strategy, several key taken, but abstract, strategic elements and transforming them into concrete

50. To be loved or feared as a leader?
TO BE LOVED OR FEARED AS A LEADER? Leaders in fields ranging from military and politics
to business and even education have been posed with the choice of instilling love or fear among
their respective followers. Traits like warmth and trustworthiness of a leader instill love among
followers and fear of a leader originates mostly from his strength and competence. Although there
are numerous other traits in a leader, warmth and strength are the most influential. According to
psychology, a major part of other people 's perception about a person is determined by these two
dimensions of personality (Cuddy, Kohut and Neffinger, 2013, p. 56). The dilemma of the choice

Furthermore, there 's the story of the General who went way beyond the call of duty to personally
know all of the officers training under him (Cohen, 2008, p.149). The General 's gesture was one of
pure warmth. This could be seen as an argument in favor of applicability of the love model in any
organization regardless of its function and dynamics. Lastly, I would refer to the discussion in class
where it was established that interpersonal skills that come from emotional intelligence and
emotional quotient are much important for managers than technical skills that use academic
intelligence and intelligence quotient. Based on the arguments so far, it would be safe to say that
leadership can have much more to do with warmth and empathy than it is accredited for. And that
the love model, like the fear model cuts across culture, fields and time. There is ample evidence to
support both of the models of leadership under various circumstances. What determines the
effectiveness of leaders is their ability to get an emotional response from followers. The response
can be of fear or of love. According to Gittell, Ledeen and Maccomby (2004, p.15), what matters is
the decision making. If the decisions taken by the leader are fair, people will respond to both warmth
and strength. But If the decision making is arbitrary, people will cease to respond to either emotion.

Two theorists whose ideologies can be applied to change an organisational culture include Frederick
W. Taylor and Edgar Schein. Firstly, Frederick W. Taylor, a management theorist, significantly
contributed to establishing a scientific management approach to the workplace in the late 19th
century. "Taylor's most important contribution entails his principles of scientific management in
which his theory aims to create efficiency in the workplace by scientifically testing different
combinations of procedures, techniques and tools" (Mills, Helms – Mills, Bratton, & Forshaw, 2007
p. 25). Taylor felt that inefficiency in the workplace was due to three main factors which included
attitudes of the workers, methods of work and the system of management control. Taylor concluded
that these inefficiencies would be improved by a scientific approach to management. A summary of
the issues that came from Taylor's study of organisational behaviour includes issues of work
attitudes, job design, structuring of organisations, recruitment and selection, motivation, reward

Seven Costly Mistakes in Business
The seven most costly mistakes in business revolve around how companies manage their value
chains in a turbulent, rapidly changing world. Both primary and supporting strategies of value
chains need to be tightly integrated and well managed for any enterprise to survive and grow.
Losing track of customers and their needs, including a lack of insight into how they can best be
communicated with is the most costly mistake a company can make. The loss of relevancy within a
customer base immediately opens it up to competitors, drastically increasing the costs to get them
back and re–establish value of products and services (Allen, Carletti, Leonello, 2011). Lack of
customers will also lead to lack of insight into demand curves of products and the inability to
forecast them accurately (Docters, Durman, Korman, Schefers, 2008). Integrating Customer
Relationship Management (CRM) systems into the daily activity of a company is essential to
alleviate this problem (Bielski, 2003). Failing to integrate CRM systems into the overall workflow
of the company will lead to losing even more customers and lost revenue, and this is especially true
for foreign subsidiaries of global companies (Davids, 1999).

legacy, 3rd party and previously disparate, disconnected systems are for the first time being

social networks subscribed to, and customer interactions, and the amount of data available can

these terabytes and explore for insights and previously–unknown associations in the data, to get the

mothers were solely responsible for the babies they had out of wedlock at that young age. If a

crime that it is today. In Texas, it was legal for a man to shoot his wife and her lover if he caught

In the study mentioned above by Spool (2011), a major driver of impulse purchases is the use of the
category links on the website. Certain designs led shoppers to find products through category links
rather than the sites search engines. When shoppers used these categories, they were far more likely
to make impulse purchases than when they used the search engines. In the study, 87% of the dollars
spent on impulse purchases resulted from users navigating the site by the category links. Users spent
the remaining 13% of the money after navigating via the sites search engines. If a visitor sees a
"popular products" section or a "clearance" banner on a site, those are the things they are most likely
going to click. Even if they went to the site looking for a particular product, this strategy is usually
taken advantage of. Many retailers put a "may we suggest" section on each and every product page
with items that are relevant to what the customer was looking for, and this is also very enticing.
Other ways online pages encourage impulsive purchases is with the use of things such as time
sensitive sales. This can be sales such as Memorial Day sales, deal of the day, or just random
clearance sales. It doesn't matter what the occasion is, making a banner that says something like

71. Summary OfThe Merger Of Two Competing Hospitals
Healthcare Management Final Paper
In the short story "The Merger of Two Competing Hospitals", we see both Porter Regional Medical
Center and Banner Regional Medical Center reach an agreement to form a merger. Both Hospitals
had at least one major current flaw and by teaming up they no longer had to worry about the aspect
of competing with each other. PRMC faced the problem of annually losing large sums of money.
While over at BRMC the problem laid within the infrastructure and not the problem of money.
After the completion of both hospitals coming together to form a newly named hospital, the question
of creating an executive team in charge of management comes about. In my opinion, before moving
forward in any way to create the executive team, candidates must be considered for their potential
leadership. Just imagine how hard it would be to fail if the newly created hospital looked for
leadership comparable to Arthur T. DeMoulas, when hiring for the executive team. While Market
Basket is not a hospital, the whole idea of the managers acting as leaders would be great for a new
hospital1. This could make all employees act loyal and show great customer service, and lastly
having all the customers (patients) come and leave happy.
According to MIT Sloan Management Review, there are six steps that should be taken to properly
rebuild a management team. The first includes Reducing Role Ambiguity. This is essentially
individuals who leave the new company because of the uncertainty the future holds for them. To
help this, the board should do its best to ensure the company will be fine to the new executive team,
as well as quickly remove any individuals who doubt the new company will be a success. Having
just a few individuals who doubt the potential of the merger could quickly ruin a whole team and
bring moral down. The second step states "Due Diligence Around Talent Is a Dangerous Corner to
Cut". To solve this, the board needs to get to know all the managers on both sides of the merger and
actually find out about their full talent potential. The third part states "Recognize Old Habits Die
Hard – But Not All Should". Each company before the merger had a certain way of doing things,

The KPMG International Survey provides data that indicates that sustainability reporting is going
mainstream, found that among the world's largest 250 companies, the CSR reporting rate is more or
less stable at 93% (KPMG, 2013). Companies must rise to the demands for disclosure and
transparency by publishing sustainability reports, but sometimes the report alone is not enough to
satisfy stakeholders and that is why many companies also attach an assurance statement. Assurance
statements are issued by a third–party, such as Ernst & Young or KPMG, which validates, gives
creditability and reliability of the information provided in the company's reports with regards to
their sustainability practices to external stakeholders. The practice of an assurance statement in
sustainability reports serves as a communication mechanism as it arguably enhances the clarity and
reliability of these statements (Deegan, Cooper and Shelly, 2006).
The trend that I have found through researching legitimacy and sustainability are the four
stakeholders driving companies to initiate sustainability practices are customers, employees,

with his employees and customer in mind. It is more of a Theory Y leadership where trust,
democracy, and competence ensure high productive employees, creativity, and high job satisfaction.
Craig Jelinek has a huge effect on Costco as he sets the tone for all of his employees. He makes sure
that his employees are happy He also ensures that members of the club get the best prices and
quality products. Craig Jelinek shows charismatic Leadership. These leaders easily appeal to people
and use their strengths to forge lasting business relationships.

Kevin Shorts also talked about how the CEO makes 650,000, which is a big deal because that is a
lot less than most executives. These wages have to make Costco employees proud to be an employee
to know that the CEO cares about his employees. He also made sure that Costco is closed on
thanksgiving so that employees can spend time with their families. The company also works from
inside most of their higher end employees started as a cashier. "Zeynep Ton, an adjunct associate
professor at MIT's Sloan School of Management, says Costco employees are given greater
responsibilities too, which makes them a happy and highly motivated workforce" (Gabler,2016). As
a result of Costco having a great compensation plan even for they're part–time, it is a good look for
the company. The company has been praised for their compensation plan and their employees are
happy. Jelinek believes pricing the goods higher might lead to customers losing the trust on Costco.
Hence he never allows the items in the warehouse to be sold more than 14–15% from the cost. He
could have increased the price a little higher to improve profits. Costco should develop an improved
advertisement strategy so that people would know about the discounts and other advantages given to
customers. Nowadays people are not interested to go

77. To Be Loved or Feared as a Leader? Essay
TO BE LOVED OR FEARED AS A LEADER? Leaders in fields ranging from military and politics
to business and even education have been posed with the choice of instilling love or fear among
their respective followers. Traits like warmth and trustworthiness of a leader instill love among
followers and fear of a leader originates mostly from his strength and competence. Although there
are numerous other traits in a leader, warmth and strength are the most influential. According to
psychology, a major part of other people's perception about a person is determined by these two
dimensions of personality (Cuddy, Kohut and Neffinger, 2013, p. 56). The dilemma of the choice
between these two is inherently present in the nature of the two extremes ... Show more content on

For instance, has the change from autocratic to democratic societies and the change from vertical to
horizontal style of management in organizations affected the mindset of people including the leaders
and followers? From what I have observed while assisting my father in politics and overseeing my
family business in Pakistan is that people are more responsive to a leader who demonstrates strength
as opposed to a leader who shows warmth. The first thing that came to my mind was that this
reaction is probably due to the fact that Pakistan is a developing country evolving into a enlightened
society. I justified the fear model with backwardness of the area and attributed it partly to cultural
norms. But it was rather surprising to learn that this model is still practiced quite frequently in the
developed world as well. Taking the example of Texas Tech's coach, Bobby Knight, who is widely
respected for his leadership, had adopted the same fear model. His harshness dragged him into many
controversies including the one where he allegedly choked a player in practice (Snook, 2008, p.18).
It can be argued that some fields like organized sports, military or manufacturing industry require
such strict leadership as maintaining the chain of command is of utmost importance. However,
knowledge industry has no such restrictions but the same model has been applied there in various
cases. I personally know a few successful business owners in the US who rely on a

Integrated Healthcare Marketing Strategies
Introduction
The creation and execution of promotional and communications strategies are by definition today
multichannel and multimedia in scope. Combining both online and offline forms of media, the best
practices in integrated marketing communications includes digital media that is inherently more
measurable than offline counterparts, with offline media that is more agile from a messaging
standpoint (Finne, Strandvik, 2012). The accuracy and precision of measurement that online
marketing channels and platforms provide, in addition to the more immediate response generated
from programs, is leading to digital media being the majority of integrated marketing
communications spending globally (Reinold, Tropp, 2012). This has significant implications on the
ethicacy of advertising for healthcare products, as customers demand more authenticity and
transparency through these online channels (Bernoff, Li, 2008). The pervasive use of social media is
re–ordering the balance of power between customer and marketer roles in the marketplace (Finne,
Strandvik, 2012). These are all factors healthcare marketers need to keep in mind when designing
their strategic marketing plans.
Bringing Ethicacy Into Integrated Marketing Plans
For any health–related product, the integrated marketing communications strategy needs to first

The research program started in 1984 by MIT Sloan School of Management studies the influence of
IT on organization (Morton, 1991). Results include IT application needs changes in organizational
and management structure as well as organizations are required to go through necessary
transformation to compete globally. That findings lead to the MIT90S framework. Another study
looked at the IT's responsiveness to business strategy creation (Tan, 1995). Here, the responsiveness
is defined as the degree to which information technology is exactly considered in the formulation of
business strategy. The key finding is that the prospector business strategy is more IT–strategy
responsiveness than analyser and defender. In other words, IT is more ... Show more content on

Firstly, the company develop a business strategy. Secondly, the company choose an appropriate
structure. Thirdly, the firm design the management process. Finally, there is a need to align
Information Technology (IT) with the business strategy. IT here is treated as a 'back–office support'
(Allen & Morton, 1994). In addition, employees will be trained and their functions are designed
specifically. As a result, the most important issue in this model is to determine the strategic vision
and to handle the problems of implementation. According to figure2, in contrast, in the MIT
strategic model of change and fit, an "emergent perspective", the components are more interrelated.
The strategic fit attempts to align the organization with its external environment and to manage the
internal resources to meet that alignment (Miyamoto, Kudo and Iizuka, 2014). In terms of strategic
change, the business strategy is being shaped gradually and is an outcome instead of a driver. In
terms of IT, IT becomes an integrated part of a firm's key business process. To be more specific, the
story begins with the increasing and tactical adoption of technology in order to catch up with the
performance of the competitors. Then, it becomes the driver of changes in individual roles,
management process and corporate structure, which constituting
