Volume 12, Issue 5 (Jul. - Aug. 2013), PP 56-61 www.iosrjournals.org Project Managers Vs Operations Managers: A comparison based on the style of leadership Hadi Minavand1, Vahid Minaei2, Seyed Ehsan Mokhtari2, Nasrin Izadian2, Atefeh Jamshidian2 1&2International Business School / Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) Abstract: Within a century after the emergence of the initial theories in leadership area, several theories have tried to explain the different styles of leadership and the extent to which leaders’ styles can affect the overall success of the teams or the organizations being led by them. Regardless of the different ways in which these theories explain and address the styles of leadership, two concepts of ‘task’ and ‘individual’ are focused by most of them. Leaders, depending on their personal traits, attitudes, and situational considerations may show different levels of concern for tasks and individuals. Also, the environment in which a leader operates may affect the leader’s concern for tasks or individuals. Project environments, regarding the temporary nature of project- based activities, basically differ from operational environments in several aspects. Consequently, leadership in project environments may require a different style in comparison with operational environments. The current study has applied ‘concern for tasks’ and ‘concern for individuals’ as two dependent variables to make a comparison between project managers and operations managers based on the style of leadership. An online survey in a global context helped us to collect data from 159 project managers and 171 operations managers. The respondents were from different countries and various disciplines.

Competitive and Cooperative Inventory Management in a Two-Echelon Supply Chain With Lost Sales Abstract This paper studies inventory management in a two echelon supply chain with stochastic demand and lost sales. The optimal policy is evaluated and compared with the competitive solution, the outcome of a game between a supplier and a retailer in which each firm attempts ot maximize its own profit. It is shown that supply chain profit in the competitive solution is always less than the optimal profit. However, the magnitude of the competition penalty is sometimes a trifle, sometimes enormous. Several contracts are considered to align the firms’ incentives so that they choose supply chain optimal actions. These contracts contain one or more of the following elements: a retailer holding cost subsidy (which acts like a buy-back/return policy), a lost sales transfer payment (which acts like a revenue sharing contract) and inventory holding cost sharing.

  • The Effect of Supply Chain Management Strategy on Operational and Financial Performance
    sustainability Article The Effect of Supply Chain Management Strategy on Operational and Financial Performance Rok Lee Department of LINC Plus Project Organization, Gyeongsang National University, Jinju 52828, Korea; [email protected]; Tel.: +82-10-6314-4004 Abstract: Given that small and medium manufacturing enterprises (SMEs) are key to national eco- nomic development, the application of supply chain strategies that support their sustainability is critical. This study aims to identify the effects of supply chain management (SCM) on the operational performance of SMEs in Korea, specifically considering organizational competencies. To achieve this, an empirical survey was conducted on 300 Korean manufacturing SMEs that had introduced SCM strategies. The relationships between the variables were analyzed through structural equation modeling. These show that specific SCM strategies and organizational competencies had a significant effect on overall business performance. Furthermore, the SCM strategies had a significant effect on SME organizational competencies. Additionally, we analyzed the mediating effect of organiza- tional competencies on the effect of SCM strategy on overall business performance. We found that organizational competence mediated the effect of SCM strategy on operational performance, but not on financial performance. The study shows that introducing SCM strategies directly improves business performance and is closely related to competencies such as research and development, technology commercialization, production capability, and marketing capabilities. Consequently, a combination of SCM strategies and organizational competencies can generate sustainable overall business performance among SMEs. Citation: Lee, R.
