Economic impacts of digital home-sharing platform: Creative destruction in the hospitality industry

This paper describes an empirical study that was conducted by applying creative destruction theory to examine structural changes in the hospitality industry due to the growth of digital home-sharing platforms. To achieve these research aims, the current study considered the hospitality industry, which encompasses the accommodation and restaurant sectors, as well as Airbnb, representing the digital home-sharing platform. The findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between the exit of the accommodation industry and the supply of the digital home-sharing platform, while both entry and exit in the restaurant industry are significantly associated with the supply or performance of the digital home-sharing platform. Over time, this leads to industry transformations as certain segments of the lodging industry are replaced by digital home-sharing platforms, and as the restaurant industry undergoes a process of creative destruction, with establishments unable to adapt to changing business environments and the emergence of new facilities tailored to new technologies or accommodation models.

The Impact of an Organization's Digital Transformation on the Long-Term M&A Performance

Based on the data of China's A-share listed companies from 2012 to 2022, this paper uses a benchmark regression model to explore the impact and mechanism of corporate digitization on long-term M&A performance. It is found that the higher the degree of corporate digitization, the worse the long-term M&A performance. This finding reverses the traditional view that digitization can effectively improve the operational efficiency of enterprises and the quality of M&A decisions. This finding still holds after changing the enterprise digital transformation measure, replacing control variables, and lagging long-term M&A performance by one period. This paper provides new perspectives on the risk points that companies may overlook in pursuing digital transformation, aiming to help companies use information to make rational decisions and use digitalization to predict future developments accurately. This study emphasizes the need for managers to balance long-term and short-term interests and identify and prevent short-sightedness issues, providing insights for managers to balance immediate benefits and sustainable development in a complex and changing business environment, which is essential for enterprises to deploy strategic plans in the current fast-changing economic environment.

Adaptive strategic analysis models in a volatile market: case studies of today’s organizations

Adaptive models of strategic analysis are crucial in unstable market conditions for modern organizations. These models assist organizations in identifying and responding to the changing business environment, ensuring their sustainable development and competitive market position. The use of adaptive management allows companies to make flexible and informed decisions considering the impact of digitalization on business relationships. Factors such as leadership, culture, structure, and business strategy play an essential role in supporting organizational changes and adaptation. This paper discusses the fundamentals of adaptive management, including models of strategic analysis and strategic management. It covers the theoretical foundations of adaptive management, organizational structures with an adaptive management type, adaptive analysis models, and provides examples of companies that employ various tools. Additionally, a model of adaptive organizational management is developed, enabling companies to evolve in uncertain conditions. This model includes three subsystems: diagnostic of premises, selection of the optimal option, and implementation of the strategic scenario. The article concludes that adaptive strategic management is quite relevant in the context of variability and high environmental uncertainty; however, the strategy should not remain static.

Efficiency and Mergers and Acquisitions of Electric Utility Companies

Since the 1990s, market liberalization of the electricity industry has advanced all around the world. To survive in the drastically changing business environment, incumbent electric utility companies have conducted operational reforms, including Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As), to enhance and/or complement existing business capabilities. The purpose of this study was to measure the operational efficiencies of 31 of the world’s largest electric utility companies using data from 2010 to 2020 and examine regional differences in and the impacts of M&As on the efficiencies. For this purpose, we applied a new type of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Tobit model regression. We provide findings from the empirical analyses and discuss the business implications of M&As for electric utility companies. The operational efficiency measures were different among regions, but did not show statistically significant changes over the study period from 2010 to 2020. Furthermore, the results of regression analyses indicate that the increasing number of M&A buying transactions and M&A total transactions has a negative marginal impact on the operational efficiency or leads to a lower operational efficiency for utility companies. Since electricity utility companies have not received gains in operational efficiency from increasing the number of M&A transactions, they need to be more cautious about whether M&A transactions can provide value to the operation and technology management.

Exploring the Association Between Corporate Financial Credit Risk Management and Corporate Value

In the rapidly changing business environment, corporate financial credit risk management has become a key factor in the stable operation and continuous value enhancement of enterprises. Corporate value is reflected not only in its tangible assets but also in its intangible assets and management capabilities. Among them, financial credit risk management, as an important part of corporate management, is increasingly being paid attention to for its association with corporate value.

Effective financial credit risk management not only helps enterprises reduce potential losses and protect asset safety but also enhances the market reputation and competitiveness of enterprises, thereby increasing their overall value. With the continuous development of financial markets and the strengthening of globalization trends, the financial credit risks faced by enterprises are becoming increasingly complex and varied. Therefore, building a comprehensive financial credit risk management system and enhancing the risk management capabilities of enterprises have become key to achieving sustainable development and creating long-term value.

Transformation Of Economic System In Poland. The SMEs And EU Integration.

Brand-new economic system has been introduced in Poland two decades ago. The economic transformation from central planning to market system had no precedent and the theory of economics had not offered any complex model of such a makeover. So, we have been all learning by doing. And now, as we want to understand the process we aim at identifying both major agents and processes that were responsible for the results achieved. Without any doubt there has been at least one important agent of the transformation that could be easily recognized, namely: individual entrepreneurship. After 1989 we have been observing numerous small enterprises being established in Poland. The SMEs sector (small and medium enterprises) after half a century of centrally planned economy has been catching up with its developments. Nowadays - as in any other market economy - SMEs are important element of economic system in Poland, too. They account for 99.8 per cent of total number of enterprises, approx. half of both capital investment and value added and roughly 1/3 of exports. The following paper aims at identify the role of the SME sector in the process of reconstruction of market system in Poland after 1989. It concentrates on one special aspect of economic transformation, namely the integration with European Union on SME development potential. To set our reasoning in order we pose the subsequent questions: What is the role of SMEs sector in Polish economy? What changes of business environment has EU integration brought? What were the costs and benefits of the integration for Polish SME sector?

Modelling employee retention in small and medium-sized enterprises and large enterprises in a dynamically changing business environment

Purpose This study aims to explore the holistic context of organisational staff retention in small, medium and large organisations. It also aims to identify the factors affecting the retention of organisations of different sizes. Design/methodology/approach The study implements an empirical test of a model created during previous research with the participation of 511 employees. The responses to the online questionnaire and the modelling were analysed using the partial least squares structural equation modelling method. The models were tested for internal consistency reliability, convergent and discriminant validity, multicollinearity and model fit. Findings Two models were tested by organisation size, which revealed a total of 62 significant correlations between the latent variables tested. Identical correlations were present in both models in 22 cases. After testing the hypotheses, critical variables (nature of work, normative commitment, benefits, co-workers and organisational commitment) were identified that determine employees’ organisational commitment and intention to leave, regardless of the size of the organisation. Research limitations/implications As a result of this research, the models developed are suitable for identifying differences in organisational staffing levels, but there is as yet no empirical evidence on the use of the scales for homogeneous groups of employees. Practical implications The results show that employees’ normative commitment and organisational commitment are critical factors for retention. Of the satisfaction factors examined, the nature of work, benefits and co-workers have a significant impact on retention in organisations, so organisational retention measures should focus on improving satisfaction regarding these factors. Social implications The readers of the journal would appreciate the work, which highlights the significance of employee psychology and retention for organisational success. Originality/value The study is based on primary data and, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, is one of the few studies that take a holistic approach to organisational staff retention in the context of the moderating effect of organisational size. This study contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon of employee retention and in contrast to previous research, examines the combined effect of several factors.

조직 구성원의 셀프리더십이 혁신행동에 미치는 영향 분석

In a rapidly changing business environment, innovative behavior within an organization is emphasized for a company to continuously develop and succeed. This study specifically identified various factors (self-leadership, entrepreneurship, and innovative behavior) that support such innovative behavior. Self-leadership refers to the ability of members to voluntarily and actively perform leadership roles within an organization. In relation to this, innovation behavior includes the act of introducing new ideas and leading change within the organization. This study examined the interaction between self-leadership and innovation behavior, focusing on empirical research on how entrepreneurship mediates the relationship between the two factors. For this purpose, a survey was conducted targeting 335 office workers over the age of 20, and among the collected questionnaires, 326 questionnaires, excluding 9 that were judged to have response bias, were used for analysis. For data analysis, SPSS Statistics ver 26.0 and Amos ver 23.0 programs, which are widely used in the social science field, were used, and the research results are as follows. First, self-leadership was found to have a positive influence on entrepreneurship and innovative behavior, and entrepreneurship was found to have a positive influence on innovative behavior. In other words, it was confirmed that the higher the self-leadership, the higher the entrepreneurship spirit, and the higher the entrepreneurship spirit, the higher the innovative behavior. Second, the indirect path from self-leadership to innovation behavior through entrepreneurship was found to be significant. Past studies have often emphasized the importance of innovative behavior, but have not sufficiently identified how individual factors can lead to and promote such behavior. This study further expanded the understanding of innovation by specifically examining how leadership style (self-leadership), an individual-level resource, functions in the relationship with innovative behavior. We hope that this study will serve as basic data to improve the organization's capabilities to respond to future challenges and opportunities and strengthen the organization's agility to change.
