The ability to effectively manage operations is an essential asset for any firm. In addition to ensuring that procedures are efficient, it also guarantees that resources are utilized effectively and that the organization's goals are met. An investigation of operations management serves as the foundation for this paper, which is then analyzed and recorded by a survey of the businesses that were engaged. This paper employs literature review and literature analysis as its research methods and investigates the disparities between company operation management and performance, as well as the means by which competitive strategies can be implemented. The study's findings have facilitated accurate planning and performance for Walmart with respect to operation management, while also establishing the criticality of operation management in the company's growth trajectory. Additionally, it offers a solid basis and guidance for any organization that may have uncertainties and alternative decisions regarding operational management in the coming years.

“…Our review of HPO's nomological network highlights gaps in the extant literature. For example, while organizational learning was proposed as a key determinant of HPO (Hayter, 1997;Kirkman et al, 1999;Thomson, 2010), no empirical studies examined this relationship. Added to this, there are not many articles that investigated the interactive impact of multiple antecedents of HPO as proposed by conceptual studies (Kirkman et al, 1999;Owen et al, 2001;Lacy et al, 2009).…”

Purpose This paper aims to synthesize existing knowledge on high performance organization (HPO) in terms of definitions, contemporary trends and findings from empirical studies; from which areas for future research can be proposed. Design/methodology/approach This systematic literature review applies the matrix method to analyze major HPO literature in peer-reviewed English articles. A total of 73 articles have been found in 59 journals. Findings There are three key findings that emerged from this study. First, the research on HPO has been burgeoned in the past decades, generating several compelling studies in different contexts. The trend of HPO research is now shifting from theory development to theory validation. Second, HPO has been defined in various ways in the extant literature. However, they all address the importance of aligning the firms’ resources with the market demand and integrating various types of performance to measure HPO relative to competitors for a prolonged period. Third, an assessment of empirical HPO studies revealed gaps in terms of the research context, research design and the HPO’s nomological network. Research limitations/implications The literature search in this review targeted at only articles published in the English language; therefore, publications in other languages were not included. Originality/value The strength of this study is that it provided an updated systematic review of HPO literature, is therefore, valuable in providing an overall picture of the current state of HPO research and providing potential directions for future studies.
