“…As a source of competitive advantage, knowledge can also enhance organizational performance if it is applied and managed effectively; therefore it is necessary that some indictors and measures are defined to enable managers to control the performance of the applied knowledge and make decisions about knowledge management activities (Carrillo & Gaimon, 2004;Pfeffer & Sutton, 1999;Ribiere & Sitar, 2003) to ensure effectiveness of KM initiatives (Ahn & Chang, 2004).…”

With the transformation of managerial views and the increasing focus on knowledge and intellectual capitals as the most important resources to the organizations, the necessity for retaining these resources and monitoring their effectiveness in order to know how they are utilized becomes significant. As for the universities, this requirement is even higher compared to other organizations, due to the fact that almost a complete chain of knowledge management processes and practices exist in the universities, from knowledge creation, planning, creation, development, and acquisition to knowledge updating, sharing, dissemination, utilization, and protection. Therefore, it is crucial to assess the performance of these knowledge management processes. Yet, it is noteworthy to re-look at universities to find out about their position in the community and their responsibilities towards the society at large. Universities do not operate in vacuum; rather their actions and decisions affect the society and the environment. Hence, any program aimed at evaluating the knowledge management performance of universities must also take into consideration their responsibilities toward the society and its sustainable development. This study emphasizes on the importance of putting sustainable development view at the core of any knowledge management performance evaluation effort and proposes a sustainable development-led framework for evaluating knowledge management performance in the university setting.

Measuring the efficiency of large pharmaceutical companies: an industry analysis

et al. 2016

This paper evaluates the relative efficiency of a sample of 37 large pharmaceutical laboratories in the period 2008-2013 using a data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach. We describe in detail the procedure followed to select and construct relevant inputs and outputs that characterize the production and innovation activity of these pharmaceutical firms. Models are estimated with financial information from Datastream, including R&D investment, and the number of new drugs authorized by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considering the time effect. The relative performances of these firms-taking into consideration the strategic importance of R&D-suggest that the pharmaceutical industry is a highly competitive sector given that there are many laboratories at the efficient frontier and many inefficient laboratories close to this border. Additionally, we use data from S&P Capital IQ to analyze 2071 financial transactions announced by our sample of laboratories as an alternative way to gain access to new drugs, and we link these transactions with R&D investment and DEA efficiency. We find that efficient laboratories make on average more financial transactions, and the relative size of each transaction is larger. However, pharmaceutical companies that simultaneously are more efficient and invest more internally in R&D announce smaller transactions relative to total assets.

“…The understanding of comparative statistics itself is crucial in developing strategies for the improvement of organisational performance (Škrinjar et al, 2008) Garvin (1998) contends that processes offer a level of analysis which is both convenient and intermediate because they consist of diverse, interlinked tasks. This brings in the needed integration, which ensures that the realities of work practice are linked categorically to the organisation's overall functioning (Ahn & Chang, 2004). A process lens provides fresh insights into managerial behaviour since it emphasises the interconnections that exist among activities, which shows that seemingly unrelated activities are often part of a single, unfolding sequence.…”
