Abstract
Today, energy management is an important tool for organizations to achieve their key goals, but only by considering the role of energy management strategies, we cannot achieve scientific and precise results from energy management system. So this research aims to propose a comprehensive model of energy management strategies that is in line with organization and manufacturing strategies and increases performance of energy management. In this research, we collect information from the petrochemical companies and refineries, whose energy intensity is determined by hydrocarbon balance sheet of the country and examine them. Results show that organizations in which the type of their energy management, manufacturing, and organization strategies are coordinated have better energy management performance.
Highlights
Today in the world, sources of fossil fuels are decreasing and costs of providing them are increasing
The main purpose of the present study is to describe how the coordination between important influential factors such as energy management strategies, Organization and manufacturing strategies will increases the energy management performance
Iran Energy Efficiency Organization (SABA) declared that energy intensity of internal industries is more than the global average so that intensity of energy in the country based on current rates in 2014 is 3.6 times more than average energy intensity of the world
Summary
Sources of fossil fuels are decreasing and costs of providing them are increasing. Our findings confirm certain assumptions of the previous studies and provide new insights, giving us a better understanding of coordination between different functional and business strategies such as energy management, manufacturing, and organization strategies and evaluate its effect in energy management performance. Based on the previous studies related to the topic of this article, manufacturing strategy among three strategies of corporate, business and functional, is a functional strategy (Daft, 2006; Harrison & John, 2007; Wheelen & Hunger, 2010). Building on the study of Shams (2014), energy management strategy is a functional strategy, which wants to optimize efficacy of energy resources that organization uses to help realization of the goals and strategies of the firm and business. According to this main question, the following hypothesis is presented: Coordination between energy management strategy, manufacturing strategy and organization strategy leads to higher energy management performance
