PurposeThis study attempts to gain an understanding of factors influencing the implementation of eco‐budgeting in food processing companies.Design/methodology/approachThe study employs semi‐structured interviews with senior‐level managers, including CSR, production and environmental managers, as well as site observations at leading food processing companies in Thailand.FindingsThe study identifies three primary factors: value in economic growth, management vision, and social pressure. The presence of these factors will contribute to the implementation of eco‐budgeting.Research limitations/implicationsThe study limits itself to Thailand, and therefore findings may not be applicable in other settings. To improve the generalization of the findings, future research should broaden the sample. It would also be beneficial to pursue comparative research between industries and countries.Practical implicationsEconomic incentives are the driving force behind the application of eco‐budgeting and the improvement of environmental performance in the long run. In addition, implementation of eco‐budgeting would require an increase in the “green” vision and values throughout the organization.Originality/valueThe study defines the foundations for developing environmental sustainability and outlines an incentive scheme to reduce barriers to the implementation of eco‐budgeting in food processing companies.

Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to present a model in order to select the most appropriate process for business process reengineering (BPR) through evaluation of the degree of change. Design/methodology/approach-Corporations usually work in an environment in which business requirements are subject to continuous inevitable change. Therefore, in order to sustain competitive advantage, the corporations are required to continuously configure their business processes and operations with respect to these changes. This paper presents a model for evaluating change in an organization. By applying this model, one can select appropriate processes for reengineering. Findings-The proposed model was confirmed by consulting with engineering companies and was also implemented in one of them. This model includes five soft and hard dimensions, 19 factors, as well as 44 indicators for measuring the changes. Eventually, the proposed model was carried out in "recruitment" and "performance measurement" processes in a consulting engineering company in the water industry. Originality/value-The paper shows that by applying the selected best practices in BPR projects, some degrees of changes are imposed upon corporation in which soft factors usually cannot be assimilated to these changes. This condition leads to a high resistance and finally the failure of the changes in corporation.

Orientation: This article reports on a learning intervention in a brokers company with fewer than 50 employees. A rich description of the participants’ experience is provided. Research purpose: The purpose of the study was to explore the use of an experiential learning process during an organisation development (OD) intervention in a small business by means of a case study.Motivation for the study: This study explored the important role of small businesses; the role of management; and, more specifically, organisation development models that were developed for large corporations; as these emphasise the need to study the purpose of organisation development interventions in small businesses.Research design, approach and method: The study reported on in this article was a qualitative case study in a small brokers company with 21 staff members. The data were analysed manually by means of qualitative content analysis.Main findings: The main finding of the research concerned how experiential learning intervention provided a space for participants to start exploring, and gradually changing the dynamics of their small business, by transforming their business into a more formal company.Practical/managerial implications: The primary implication is that experiential learning interventions that are operationalised, from a psychodynamic perspective, can be valuable when consulted by small businesses during their transformation towards becoming more formal companies.Contribution/value-add: This article contributes to the OD literature on small businesses, with fewer than 50 employees, by providing data on how the learning process, that commenced during an experiential learning intervention, assisted a small company to develop its identity towards that of a more formal company.How to cite this article: Geldenhuys, D.J., & Cilliers, F.
