Item type:Publication, Assertiveness as a Critical Factor for Organisational Adaptability in Service SMEs<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>To continue operating and seeking competitiveness in a complex and highly changing context, small- and medium-sized service companies (SMEs) depend heavily on their employees. Organisations must identify capabilities that allow them to respond quickly to environmental changes. This chapter empirically explores the impact of assertiveness on organisational adaptability (OA) and proposes a model with relationships oriented to foster adaptability, considering assertiveness as a relevant factor. Partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to express and test the model hypotheses. Data were collected from 200 SMEs. The results show a strong and significant association between assertiveness, people development and organisational adaptation, suggesting that decision-makers can promote OA. This work may enable academics and managers to improve communication and inter-organisational relationships, allowing them to focus their strategies and resources to increase managerial and adaptive capacity and enhance performance and innovation.</jats:p> - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Systems Thinking Approach to Sustainable Performance in RAMSAR Sites(2019); ; ; <jats:p>This article explores and validates the integrated use of the viable system model (VSM) and the partial least squares path modeling (PLS-PM) approach to assess the sustainable management of RAMSAR sites carrying out economic activities. This work adopts a systems-thinking approach integrating systemic methodologies in three phases: (1) the VSM was first used to develop a conceptual model of the organisational problem; (2) PLS-PM was used to propose a construct to outline a solution, as well as to statistically validate the relationships proposed in the conceptual model; finally, (3) through the VSM, the relationships between actors were rethought in order to promote sustainable performance. The results obtained suggest that the joint use of VSM and PLS-PM is an effective approach that aids in the identification of relational and structural pathologies affecting the observed RAMSAR systems. It also proved useful to suggest that relationships can lead to the sustainable performance of the sites under study. It should be noted that the framework of systemic tools is constrained in its application to the organisational domain: assessing two RAMSAR areas in Mexico. Methodologically, this is the first application of the integrated use of VSM and PLS-PM to analyse the management and viability/sustainability of RAMSAR areas from an organisational perspective, opening a new avenue for the analysis and optimisation of management of such areas. This study provides tools to support actors and academics related to RAMSAR sites and opens up a discussion on how to rethink the organisational interactions in order to improve RAMSAR sites’ adaptive capabilities.</jats:p>Scopus© Citations 13 26 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Sustainable performance in tourism SMEs: a soft modeling approach(2022); ; Ramirez-Nafarrate, Adrian<jats:sec> <jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Purpose</jats:title> <jats:p>This paper aims to present a model to incentivize sustainable performance (SUP) in small- and medium-sized tourism by strengthening inner relations to adapt to a complex environment.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Design/methodology/approach</jats:title> <jats:p>The authors adopted the systemic approach complementing analytic, tourism, partial least squares path modeling (PLS-PM), social network analysis (SNA) and systemic approach tools as follows: frame the problem through the soft systems methodology and SNA and identify the conflicting relationships; apply PLS-PM to validate the model; and propose new interactions for small- and medium-sized enterprises conducive to SUP based on the viable system model.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Findings</jats:title> <jats:p>Considering the results, the authors pinpointed factors and relationships managers can address to foster SUP, highlighting the need to reinforce feedback loops and reduce inconsistencies between primary operations with coordination and management mechanisms.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Research limitations/implications</jats:title> <jats:p>This work is limited to the organizational domain. Although the results apply to the Mexican context, this could be overcome using methodological complementarity to extend the ideas to other organizations.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Practical implications</jats:title> <jats:p>This study invites discussing methods and viewpoints for rethinking SUP because of multiple factors. This requires adopting methodological complementarity to generate alternatives and reconfiguring inner organizational interactions.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Originality/value</jats:title> <jats:p>The model captures minimum but sufficient components advising leaders about SUP. This proposal differs from previous studies because it suggests exploiting methodological complementarity to capture the insights of key operative actors to conceive the model. Hence, the authors suggest new relations among organizational factors so managers can develop strategies for adaptability.</jats:p> </jats:sec>Scopus© Citations 4 37 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Determining the Factors to Improve Sustainable Performance in a Medium-Sized Organization<jats:p>Small- and medium-sized organizations rely heavily on their internal configuration to achieve sustainable performance. However, their internal structure often represents an obstacle to achieving that goal. To help organizations achieve sustainable performance, we develop a research framework using the viable system model (VSM) to evaluate the relationship between organizational factors. We adopt a systems perspective: (1) The VSM serves as a theoretical foundation to define factors to be evaluated through a conceptual model; (2) social network analysis to obtain information for the conceptual model; (3) partial least squares path modeling to test the proposed model with 150 employees; and (4) VSM to suggest changes. The nine hypotheses are supported, suggesting that improving sustainable performance is related to adopting a network structure and focusing on relational factors to reduce inconsistencies between operations and coordination systems. This article differs from previous studies, as it proposes a methodological coupling to assist decision-makers in improving organizational balance and performance. Additionally, it can encourage academics to reconsider structural factors, enabling them to allocate resources more precisely and enhance effectiveness.</jats:p>Scopus© Citations 1 13 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Systemic Design for Food Self-Sufficiency in Urban Areas(2020); ; Pedro Pablo Cardoso-Castro<jats:p>This article adopts a systemic approach to address the problem of the operationalization of relationships between actors conducive to food self-sufficiency in urban areas. Through the use of Social Network Analysis (SNA), the literature on urban agriculture was analyzed, detecting eight key trends and topic areas. This information was used to design a generic recursive organizational structure with the identification of the key roles and functions for management and governance in the multi-level and multi-stakeholder relationships of a sustainable urban self-sufficient food production system, inspired by the principles of complexity management and organizational cybernetics. Methodologically, this is the first application that combines the exploratory capability of SNA and the recursive structure of the Viable System Model (VSM) to propose applicable organizational structures in any urban area, suggesting a new route for the study and application of systemic thinking in the development of urban agriculture schemes. However, due to the conceptual nature of this work, this study opens a discussion on how we can rethink interactions to seek continuous adaptation in food self-sufficiency, provide tools that foster inclusion, and adapt to every context to support the relevant actors and academics in urban agriculture.</jats:p>Scopus© Citations 19 58 1
