May 4 to May 7, 2007 1 ABSTRACT As reported extensively in academic literature, companies have been forced by increasing global competition to devise and pursue international purchasing strategies that hinge on reducing prices and optimising quality, fulfilment, production cycle times, responsiveness and financial conditions. As a result, purchase management has turned to improve internationalisation to support companies’ globalisation processes. Specifically, research studies focusing on Multinational Companies’ (MNC) corporate purchasing strategy influence on affiliates’ global supply strategy (GSS) development reveal a strong link between two key dimensions: a) supply source –i.e., the level of supply globalisation as related to MNC’s worldwide operating needs - and b) purchase location –i.e., the level of centralisation in relevant purchasing decisions. In this research, a sample of seven Italian MNCs operating in Latin America’s MERCOSUR (Southern Common Market) region have been studied in an attempt to analyse their purchasing strategy definition and development processes. -

International Strategic Management: a Conceptual Model with Top Managers' Emotional Intelligence, Cultural Intelligence, and N
information Review International Strategic Management: A Conceptual Model with Top Managers’ Emotional Intelligence, Cultural Intelligence, and Networking Ângelo Miguel R. Cabral 1,*, Fernando Manuel P. O. Carvalho 1 and José António Vasconcelos Ferreira 2 1 CeBER, Faculty of Economics, University of Coimbra, 3004-512 Coimbra, Portugal; [email protected] 2 GOVCOPP, Department of Economics, Management, Industrial Engineering and Tourism, University of Aveiro, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 8 October 2020; Accepted: 8 December 2020; Published: 10 December 2020 Abstract: The conceptual approach in this article follows and analyzes the holistic model of Kuivalainen, Sundqvist, Saarenketo, and McNaughton in 2012, making it analytically fitting to the SMEs’ international strategic groups concerning their international scale and scope. That model, according to our conceptual proposal, needs a methodological readjustment to an effective conformity towards the cross-sectional research. Accordingly, we presented two main considerations. First, we put together a conceptual model, fitted towards the field of top managers’ psychological characteristics as major antecedent of the firms’ international strategy. Second, the proposed conceptual model is methodologically oriented for cross-sectional studies. In relation to the antecedents, we took top managers’ emotional intelligence and cultural intelligence as distinctive capabilities of the firms’ international strategy and as major antecedents of top managers’ networking behaviors. Regarding firms’ international performance as the major conceptual model outcome, a multidimensional approach is taken with financial, strategic, and overall performance. These elements of the international firms are regarded as of major importance within the international firms’ enterprise architecture. Methodologically, we performed a bibliographic review on the fundamental concepts that we present in the model. -
Under Pressure: Time Management, Self-Leadership, and the Nurse Manager

Neck 4 1 School of Nursing, Ball State University, Muncie, IN 47306, USA 2 Department of Management, Ball State University, Muncie, IN 47306, USA; [email protected] 3 College of Human Sciences & Education, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA 70803, USA; [email protected] 4 Department of Management and Entrepreneurship, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ 85287, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 6 May 2020; Accepted: 12 June 2020; Published: 28 June 2020 Abstract: Decision making by nurses is complicated by the stress, chaos, and challenging demands of the work. One of the major stressors confronting nurses is perceived time pressure. Given the potential negative outcomes on nurses due to perceived time pressures, it seems logical that a nurse manager’s ability to lead nurses in moderating this time pressure and in turn to make better decisions could enhance nurse well-being and performance. Paralleling research in the nursing literature suggests that, in order to improve patients’ judgement of the care they received, nurse managers should embrace ways to lower nurses’ perceived time pressure. In this conceptual paper, we propose a model to help mitigate time pressure on nurse managers and their frontline nurses based on the research regarding time pressure, psychosocial care, time management, and self-leadership. Three metaconjectures and suggested future studies are given for further consideration by organizational and psychological researchers. Keywords: nurse manager; time pressure; self-leadership; stress 1. -

Time Management and Polychronicity
Journal of Managerial Time management and Psychology polychronicity 14,3/4 Comparisons, contrasts, and insights for 288 the workplace Received May 1998 Revised October 1998 Accepted November Carol Kaufman-Scarborough 1998 Rutgers University, Camden, New Jersey, USA, and Jay D. Lindquist Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA Keywords Individual behaviour, Time management, Work psychology Abstract The goals of this investigation are to identify behaviors and attitudes that are predictive of an individual's polychronic or monochronic time use, relating these findings to individuals' time management approaches. A modified polychronic attitude indicator (PAI3) scale is used as the overall measure of monochronic/polychronic tendencies. A series of potential predictor variables from the ``structure'' portion of the FAST scale, items related to the time structure questionnaire, and other items based on literature synthesis and researcher judgment were used. A stepwise multiple regression analysis resulted in an eight-predictor variable solution. It was concluded that polychronicity is related to different aspects of time management; recommendations are given for future study and for application in the workplace. Introduction Students of time management have attempted to analyze and understand the time use of those persons who want to become more efficient on the job, in their home lives, and in the other activities that they undertake. Through the years, some sets of common precepts have emerged. These include the need for prioritization, the creation and use of lists, and the assigning of activities to particular time slots on an individual's calendar (see, for example, Bond and Feather, 1988; Macan, 1994; Macan et al., 1990). -
