Modeling the Organizational Agility in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) Industry

In today's complex, dynamic, and uncertain business environment with increasing globalization, extreme competitiveness, and changing stakeholder needs, companies are expected to sense the change and respond appropriately. Agility is a significant concept that helps organizations survive, sustain as an operable entity, stay competitive, and become successful in a changing environment. Unlike the other sectors, agility has not been studied in detail in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. This article aims to investigate organizational agility of the AEC companies. In this respect, it proposes a model that includes the following components: organizational agility drivers (political, economic, social, technological, environmental, legal changes, the threat of new entrants, and rivalry among competitors), enablers (flat structure, changed culture, organizational learning, people, technology, and external relations), and capabilities (sensing, responsiveness, flexibility, and competency). The data to verify the model are collected from companies based in Turkey through an online questionnaire survey and analyzed by using structural equation modeling. According to the analysis results, the influence of agility drivers has not been found significant, changed culture directly contributes to higher levels of organizational agility, and responsiveness and flexibility are the major indicators of organizational agility. This study recommends the AEC companies to observe environmental changes and develop strategies enhancing the organizational agility enablers to address these changes.

Analisis Eksternal Sebagai Upaya Pengembangan Bisnis Perdagangan Internasional Baru (Studi Kasus: PT. GFA)

Indonesia is known as an agricultural country with abundant natural wealth and the majority of its population work as farmers. Agricultural products in Indonesia are in excess supply, while market demand for agricultural products abroad is very large. PT. GFA is a company that exports agricultural products from local farmers and SMEs which exports on HS07 and HS09. From this research it was found that the government has a very large role in the export business, for example through international agreements. From economic factors, there was an increase in vegetable exports but a decrease in coffee exports. From a socio-cultural perspective, PT. GFA can be sourced from local farmers. The existence of technological factors makes it easier for PT. GFA in marketing and control. Furthermore, PT. GFA has moderate buyer bargaining power, as evidenced by the Indonesian market penetration of trade value in Asia. However, the bargaining power of suppliers at PT. GFA is high, this is because the company does not have the goods but takes them from suppliers. On the other hand, the threat of small substance products is because HS07 and HS09 are commodities that cannot be replaced. Lastly, PT.GFA has a low threat of new entrants because to become an exporter requires quite a large amount of capital.

Overall competitiveness efficiency: A quantitative approach to the five forces model

This study proposes Porter’s five forces model-based technique that measures a company’s competitiveness through objective indicators and metrics. We introduce a novel model, the overall competitiveness efficiency, which points out that a company’s competitiveness level incorporates capabilities matching five environmental forces. The five forces are: bargaining power of suppliers, bargaining power of buyers, threats of substitutes, threats of new entrants, and rivalry among existing competitors. The overall competitiveness efficiency model also consists of five dimensions: bargaining power against suppliers, bargaining power against buyers, competitive power against substitutes, competitive power against new entrants, and competitive power against competitors. We develop three quantifiable indicators for each dimension and operationalize these indicators with objective metrics. To show the models’ applicability, we conduct a case study in a hydraulics press industry company by collecting quantitative data from document analysis, secondary data analysis, semi-structured interviews, and observations. Our model gives managers insight into improving the company’s competitiveness by focusing on weaknesses and capitalizing on the strengths through measurable competitiveness indicators and metrics. The models’ implications guide managers in making strategic decisions on the competitive position in the market.

Major Driving Forces for The Indian SME Pharmaceutical Industry: Using Porter's Five Forces Framework for A Comparative Analysis

The author aims to study the major driving forces that affect the operational efficiency of the Indian pharmaceutical industry with special reference to the SME pharmaceutical companies in India. For this, Porter's Five Force Model is used as a frame of reference to gauge the effect of the various environmental and regulatory forces that affect the working of the Indian SME pharmaceutical industry, using Regression Analysis as the main tool. The reliability and the Regression equation derived from the Regression Analysis showed that competitive rivalry among existing firms is the strongest force, followed by the bargaining power of buyers, the threat of new entrants, the bargaining power of suppliers, and the threat of substitute products in that order. Many researchers have studied the Porter model in theory, and others have studied the different aspects of the pharmaceutical industry. However, there needs to be more research on the analysis of the pharma industry using the Porter model, apart from the pioneering work of Michael Dobbs. This study follows in his footprints and applies the Porter model to the Indian pharma industry with special reference to the SME units. The industry will find this research of practical value, especially for SME industries that can use the outcomes of this study to devise their strategies for growth and competition assessment.

Development of the essential ecosystem area of Taman Kili-Kili Beach Trenggalek as a center for turtle conservation and ecotourism activities

The Essential Ecosystem Area (EEA) of Taman Kili-Kili Beach, located in Trenggalek District (East Java), plays an essential role in preserving the biodiversity of protected animals, namely turtles, who play a significant role in maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems, starting from maintaining productive coral reef ecosystems to bringing essential nutrients from the ocean to the coast. This study aims to develop the EEA of Taman Kili-Kili Beach as a center for turtle conservation and an ecotourism destination to improve the community’s welfare while preserving the coastal and marine environment and the biodiversity of protected animals, especially turtles. This study uses a descriptive method to analyze the five forces model. The results show that the existence of turtle conservation will be a strength and attraction for tourists to visit EEA, especially for educational purposes and tourism on the beach. The main weakness is the lack of management of ecotourism support units such as souvenir centers, restaurants, and adequate rest areas. EEA of Taman Kili-Kili Beach can be developed by improving service and quality as an ecotourism destination and a turtle conservation center. This improvement also faces the threat of new entrants and substitutes and competes with competitors.
