Pemanfaatan Teknologi Digital dalam Upaya Memperkuat Ekonomi Digital pada Koperasi Simpan Pinjam di Desa Sobangan Mengwi

Cooperatives as a form of microfinance institutions are known as pillars or cornerstones of the economy. However, not much has been heard of the actions of cooperatives that are capable of becoming cooperatives on a national, international scale or using digital financial services. The existence of digitalization of cooperatives has a goal orientation for convenience, speed of service, comfort, and security when making transactions with cooperatives. In addition, efforts to digitize cooperatives are expected to accelerate the growth of cooperatives. With digitalization, cooperatives are able to expand their business scale to remote areas. Based on the situation analysis of Candra Sedana's KSP partners, various problems and limitations have been found which can be identified as follows: partners' lack of knowledge about the concept of digital transformation regarding cooperative financial information systems that are connected to the banking system and QRIS adoption and partners' lack of knowledge about the concept of change management. The solutions offered related to partner problem solving are as follows: Providing counseling regarding the concept of 'change management', Providing counseling regarding the concept of digital transformation regarding literacy regarding cooperative financial information systems that are connected to banking and the QRIS concept of optimal utilization, as well as implementing assistance and direct practice regarding the adoption of information systems and QRIS development.

Productivity development enablers in the infrastructure sector: capability maturity model integration approach

PurposeInsufficient productivity development in the global and Finnish infrastructure sectors indicates that there are challenges in genuinely achieving the goals of resource efficiency and digitalization.

KPA attributes and their maturity criteria were formed through a thematic analysis of interview data from 12 semi-structured group interviews. Finally, validation and refinement of the model were performed with an expert panel.FindingsThis paper provides a novel maturity model for examining and enhancing the infrastructure sector’s maturity in productivity development. The model brings into discussion the current business logics, relevance of lifecycle-thinking, binding targets and outcomes of limited activities in the surrounding infrastructure system.Originality/valueThis paper provides a new approach for pursuing productivity development in the infrastructure sector by constructing a maturity model that adapts the concepts of CMMI and change management. The model and findings benefit all actors in the sector and provide an understanding of the required elements and means to achieve a more sustainable built environment and effective operations.

Quality Management Systems Implementation and their Output on Productivity and Organisational Performance

The companies that struggle with the problem of inefficient resource usage are most likely those with the absence of an effective management system. Organizational performance can be greatly enhanced through the systematic measurement, monitoring, and improvement of the quality of a company's offerings. This paper presents a study that determines the relationship between applying quality management systems (QMS) on organi-zational performance (OP) and impacts and benefits generated by their implementation. The main purpose of the article is to survey the effect of QMS on organisation efficiency based on the concept of change management. Data was collected from randomly selected employees from the top and middle management through questionnaire survey to check the implementation process and effectiveness of QMS. The collected data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The results of this study confirm that there are some positive effects on organisational management variables and establishing training and explanation courses and meetings. Organisational impacts such as efficiency, consumer satisfaction, employee performance, profitability, internal improvement, competitive advantage, supplier relationships and quality of products and services can be also highlighted. The findings from this study are expected to support management’s decision to implement QMS if one of their objectives is to use their resources efficiently. Customer's needs and perceptions are also considered by an adequate feedback system, proper audits, and management reviews. It is shown that QMS can only be successful if top management are persuaded to take a sustained and active role in the implementation process, it is essential to regularly conduct training in this area in order to instill habits and make employees more amenable to the change of working methods.

Process and Product Change Management as a Predictor and Innovative Solution for Company Performance: A Case Study on the Optimization Process in the Automotive Industry

Change and innovation are increasingly exerting a significant influence on the daily activities of companies. To ensure optimal control, innovative solutions are employed that are encapsulated in the concept of change management. In the engineering change sector, the proposed approach involves developing solutions and making continuous adjustments to the manufacturing process to enhance productivity and to meet customer needs. Within the automotive industry, companies utilize innovations and process change management to continuously improve and strengthen their position in the market, such as KPI/KPRS and PCI. To achieve this, the present study gathers real digital data from the Romanian branches of two renowned automotive companies. The data regarding change requests include 215 registrations for the first company and 734 registrations for the second company. By employing complex statistical methods such as ANOVA, Student’s t-test, the Mann–Whitney test, and a regression model, the primary objective of this study is to model and to identify the best predictor of change request status. Additionally, this study aims to explore how this change process influences the economic performances of the companies and the performance indicators of change management in manufacturing processes. The findings indicate that, both in the organizations in general and within the automotive industry, when products experience high demand in the market, the number of change requests increases. This highlights the importance of internal optimization of the automation system. Moreover, the study results underscore the crucial role of an effective smart manufacturing and optimal change management system to uphold and to enhance the economic performance of automotive companies.

Developing Capacities to Lead Change for Sustainability: A Quasi-Experimental Study of Simulation-Based Learning

Education for sustainability should be capable of developing citizens with the mindset and skills to meet the complex sustainability challenges faced in the 21st century. Although educators have advocated for the use of simulations and serious games in education for sustainability, there is need for experimental research that tests the effects of these active learning methods on learner knowledge, skills, and attitudes. This empirical study aimed to fill this gap by examining the effectiveness of the Leading Change for Sustainability—Business, an online computer simulation that challenges learners to transform a company’s capacity to achieve a triple bottom-line of sustainability goals. This article reports the results of a quasi-experimental study that was designed to assess change in knowledge and attitudes of 87 students studying in a Master of Management program in Thailand. The research found that learning with the Leading Change for Sustainability—Business simulation resulted in large, significant change in knowledge of sustainability and change management concepts, as well as in the sustainability mindset of students. The successful use of this simulation in a “fully online instructional environment” not only offers support for the use of this simulation in educating for sustainability, but also for the broader potential of simulations in online learning during the post-COVID-19 era.

It’s Time for a Turnaround on Turnaround Studies: Putting People and Process First

Unsatisfied with the low success rates of turnarounds, this paper investigates the literature on turnarounds from a process perspective. Using an input-throughput-output model we investigate the causes of decline, the different aspects of turnaround practices, their contextual factors, and the assessment of turnarounds. We conclude that all causes of decline are internal, stemming from dysfunctional leadership habits and human interactions, behaviors, and beliefs. Taking this seriously, turnaround studies should start integrating these organizational pathologies into their research objectives, to advance turnaround practices. We also find that similar turnaround measures under similar conditions show very different results, adding to the notion that content doesn’t matter when it comes to turnaround success, but process does. Still, the interplay between leadership style, the turnaround process, and staff engagement and their relationship to turnaround success is little investigated. We develop an agenda to fill this gap, integrating change management and systems psychodynamic concepts into turnaround studies to advance our understanding of decline and turnarounds and improve turnaround practices around the world.

Pilot implementation of the national longitudinal communication curriculum: experiences from four German faculties.

Background: The German national longitudinal communication curriculum provides medical faculties with orientation for the content of their communication teaching. But its implementation also requires changes in the organization of teaching. However, due to a lack of reports and studies on experiences with the development and implementation of communication curricula, recommendations on the procedure and the use of suitable instruments cannot be provided. Consequently, as part of this exploratory study the implementation process of the communication curricula was observed at four faculties.Methods: A comparative case study was conducted against the background of a change management concept. The four participating faculties were selected in such a way that they differed significantly in their initial conditions, particularly the development stage of the communication curriculum. Group interviews were conducted with the project teams at each faculty concerning the conditions and experiences with the implementation process. The evaluation took the form of a qualitative content analysis with a focus on identifying supporting and inhibiting factors and useful activities. Results: Different faculty approaches, support structures, core skills, the scope of study and examination regulations, teaching organization and available resources can have a major impact on the implementation processes. It became clear that, depending on the status of the implementation process, other barriers and supporting conditions gain in importance. Strategically, it proved to be a particular success factor to implement the communication curriculum together with other innovations in the course of the conversion to a model study program. This enabled a particularly quick and efficient implementation. The implementation into an existing curriculum proved to be much more protracted. In addition, a change management concept was used to illustrate which measures were found to be effective for which task areas. This includes, for example, curricular mapping, the development of skills in communication teaching or the integration of communication into exams.Conclusions: Thus a concept with strategies and measures for the implementation of the National Longitudinal Communication Curriculum is available. It already contains numerous suggestions for planning one's own approach in line with the conditions and resources of other locations. However, it needs to be supplemented and further validated.

Dynamics of Change Resistance Management Within the Nigerian University Structure

Change is the most permanent process in any organization. Any other process in the organization is a result of change thereby making change to be inevitable. The concept of change management is such a critical issue that if not handled with the highest level of caution can bring about devastating hazards to the organization. As important as change, one major issue that affects change in any organization is the resistance to change by the targeted recipients of the change. Naturally, humans are created with the instinct to resist subjugation when perceived. This has also been the driving factor for resistance to change. This paper explores the various dynamics for managing change resistance within the Nigerian University system through review of various literatures with special focus on the Nigeria University system and drawing relevant conclusions. The paper concluded with the view that the University system as a knowledge enhancing citadel of learning is one of the major agents of change in any society. Therefore strong theories for managing change resistance can be formulated by Universities to give a good management foundation to upcoming and practicing managers as majority of these manager pass through various tertiary institutions as a transition to the industry. Similarly, this paper suggests that Change management forms part of the major management courses within the University’s academic curriculum for students.

E-Learning Strategy Development for Fully Aligned College Curricula

The background of this study is a well-established 21 st century trend, leading education institutions towards diversifying their offer with e-learning. While top engineering institutions worldwide have developed e-learning, many others were still focusing on limited traditional offers until the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 which has brought unprecedented upheaval and drastic change even for small local colleges. The aim of this study is to analyse the dimensions of this change and evaluate the change management processes across engineering departments in local UK colleges that have had to shift their teaching, learning and assessment from face-to-face delivery to an e-environment in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and are considering moving onto e-learning wherever possible. The initial research for this study has been collected across 77 further education colleges in the North West of the UK that also have a higher education offer and that teach engineering at various levels. Key aspects of the move to e-learning as well as the wider context will be presented, followed by a contextualised literature review where examples of challenges from analysed institutions will be presented in relation to key concepts of change management. Some critical aspects of higher education across colleges are considered along with their challenges in the present COVID-19 context. This will be followed by recommendations. The basis for the recommendations is an extended market and change management analysis available in the appendices to this work. SWOT, Porter’s Five Forces as well as stakeholder analyses are complemented by Culture Web and McKinsey’s 7S models which have been used to analyse the current state of operations and present strategic positioning of UK colleges with an engineering further and higher education provision in order to identify which of these may need reinforcement and propose recommendations.
