“…Studies published in the last decade by Casslolato, Rosenberg, Castellacci, Fagerberg, Fagerberg, Maryann Feldman, Martin Srholec, showed that innovation is the engine of the growth, being an important element of the development achievements (Szabo, Šoltés & Herman, 2013). Innovation relies on the operations core competency of a firm (Ahmed & Wang, 2007). Innovations in relation to increasing of the business processes efficiency guarantee the strategic growth of the company and orienting management decisions to the position of knowledge represented by innovative products.…”

Business performance management and measurement is a relatively complex and difficult process, which is currently undergoing significant changes in terms of both theory and practice. Previously used indicators, methods and models, largely based on financial indicators and methods of financial management, have been gradually modified and improved to provide owners and managers with a sufficient true and fair view of business performance. Despite the efforts for continuous improvement, it appears that the traditional management of enterprise performance based primarily on financial management hits its limits and companies around the world are beginning to promote new non-traditional indicators, methods and models, based primarily on non-financial, strategic and often qualitative indicators. We recommend that enterprises apply the selected methods and models of strategic business performance management in different industries of the Slovak Republic. By applying the selected strategic methods and models such as BSC, BI, strategic planning and controlling, innovations and others, a higher performance of companies can be achieved.

“…Researchers have measured dynamic capabilities in different ways. Wang and Ahmed (2007) see adaptive capability, absorptive capability and innovative capabilities as dynamic capabilities. Li and Liu (2012) believe that dynamic capabilities include strategic sense-making capacity, timely decision-making capacity and change implementation capacity.…”

Sustainability research has been expanding rapidly during recent decades. Such research takes various forms with the identification of mixed results. Even though there are several review articles on sustainability with valuable insights, the time dimension aspect of sustainability is totally missing in addition to lack of well-developed framework. This paper systematically reviews previous sustainability studies published in the refereed scientific journals for the past two decades to understand the evolution of sustainability issues in the business context and solutions proposed until now. The study categorizes the popular sustainability practices into short-and long-term practices based on the time effect, and link them with different forms of organizational capabilities and sustainability performance. The paper further proposes a two-dimensional sustainability framework that incorporates practices, capabilities and performance, and the balancing issues between short-and long-term sustainability. At the end, it suggests potential research directions for future research as well. Graphical abstract Highlights We systematically reviews the past two decades sustainability studies published in the refereed scientific journals  We use time dimension to classify and understand sustainability benefits Review of sustainability theories, practices, capabilities, and performance Classification of sustainability practices, capabilities, and sustainability performance Model & propositions development We categorized sustainability practices and performances into short-and long-term perspectives for effective managerial decisions  We propose research propositions relating firm's capability and its implementation of shortand long-term sustainability practices and sustainability performance.  We draw attention to the future role of organizational capabilities and their interactions with sustainability practices to achieve better performance.

Abstract-Recently, the strategic approaches of public sector organizations are reevaluated in order to achieve modern effective operations and provide better services to their customers (citizens and businesses). Business Process Management (BPM) solutions are recognized as essential tools for public services transformation, as they enable public organizations to be more efficient, to meet business challenges rapidly and flexibly, and to improve the customers experience by resolving incidents and responding to requests in a timely fashion. Within this context, this paper describes the development of a BPM System (BPMS) as a part of a web-based integrated system for benchmarking, monitoring, simulation and redesigning processes. This system will be deployed initially in Municipalities and later on in several Greek government agencies, in order to offer more efficient, personalized and consistent services to citizens and businesses, in a reduced operational cost. The paper presents the methodological approach followed for BPMS development. It also highlights system's functionality and its usefulness in process design, benchmarking, redesign and continuous improvement.Index Term-Business process management system, public sector services, benchmarking, business process improvement. I. INTRODUCTIONPublic Sector Organizations are facing the challenge of delivering high quality services that meet local needs, efficiently. A variety of computer based support tools for performance management and process improvement has been proposed and t[ried out in governmental settings [1]-[3].Business Process Management (BPM) solutions are widely spread in private sector offering many advantages to those companies that adapt them. The key benefits of BPM software solutions include the increased business efficiency, rapid deployment of compliance and process changes, improved employee productivity and increased business engagement [4]. BPM systems also recognized as essential tools for public services transformation, as they enable public organizations Manuscript received February 4, 2015; revised August 25, 2015. This work is a part of the research project "Public Services' Benchmarking, Design, Monitoring & Evaluation Platform (PSB-DMEP)" in research action: "Synergasia", which is implemented under the Operational Programme: Competitiveness and Entrepreneurship (OPCE II), NSRF 2007-2013 and is co-funded by European Union (European Regional Development Fund) and Greek Government.S.
