A framework for benchmarking the strategic position of bond markets in the competing environment

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to develop a benchmarking framework for identifying different indicators and their importance in forming the strategic position of Thai bond markets in competitive economies using Strategic Position and Action Evaluation (SPACE) matrix framework.Design/methodology/approachThe Delphi approach is deployed for indicator selection and the framework validation. A questionnaire survey is then used to assess the importance of different factors determining the strategic bond market development and competitiveness using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) model.FindingsA group of experienced bond market experts assign different levels of importance for each key factor under a given dimension to reach consensus. The results reveal that there are 17 factors affecting the strategic development and competitiveness of the bond market. Among four aspects under the framework, the financial strength dimension is considered by the experts as the most dominant aspect to strategic bond market development, followed by competitive advantage, industry strength, and environment stability, respectively.Practical implicationsThe benchmarking framework developed in this study is useful for guiding measurement and assessment of the strategic position of bond markets in the competing environment.Originality/valueThe author proposes for the first time a conceptual framework based on macro-level data to assess the strategic bond market development and competitiveness using SPACE matrix method. The study employs the Delphi’s technique and in-depth interview with bond market experts to build indicators for each dimension under the framework. Second, this paper also applies the AHP to discover the order of relative importance for the indicators identified by the experts through pairwise comparison to reach consensus, which has never been conducted before.

Developing a Fuzzy Logic Decision Support System for Strategic Planning in Industrial Organizations

Internal – External (IE), Strategic Position and Action Evaluation (SPACE), Boston Consulting Group (BCG), and Grand Strategy matrices are important tools in generating and evaluating alternative output strategies which is the most important step in the formulation stage in strategic management process. Managers need to make difficult and important decisions on the basis of imprecise information and incomplete knowledge and select the right strategic position or alternative output strategies. Managers found it difficult to make the right decision when the values that resulted from the internal and external audits of an organization's environment fall in the middle or on the sharp edges in these matrices. It is found that each matrix depends on some factors that represent the internal and external environment of an organization and neglect the others. A systematic approach that incorporates fuzzy set theory in conjunction with strategic planning is proposed to assist managers in reaching the best alternative output set of strategies. The four matrices are combined by relations in order to integrate more than two fuzzy factors in selecting the best alternative output strategies. This make the suggested strategic plan robust and help organizations with limited resources to neglect alternative output strategies that do not depend on the four matrices jointly. The implementation of the developed Fuzzy Logic Decision Support System (FLDSS) is done using MATLAB fuzzy logic tools and the relations between these matrices are entered as rules in the Graphical User Interface (GUI) screens. The model was validated by a case study on a Jordanian company, and the results were satisfactory.

A strategic analysis of volunteer tourism organisations

A significant number of tourists now wish to combine their concern for the degradation of the environment with their vacation activities. This concern, together with the need for educated people to work on ecological and scientific projects, has led to the emergence of a small but growing number of UK organisations that bring together paying volunteers and research projects to support research into sustainable development. There is little academic literature on the organisations that provide this travel service. The article examines key dynamics of the research volunteer market examined with data from questionnaire responses, interviews and observation. The article uses Porter's five forces model and the Strategic Position and Action Evaluation (SPACE) framework to strategically analyse this sector. The findings suggest that none of the five forces are strong enough to depress profits and therefore, the balance sheets should be healthy; however, this is not always the case. Consequently, the SPACE factors that appear related to the financial viability of the firms are explored. In conclusion, firms have the ability to make a substantial contribution to environmental sustainability and their survival is important; however, the risks of operating in this sector are relatively high.
