Creating Sustainable Competitive Advantage for a Mid-Sized Business Institute: A Case Study for Market-based Management (MBM) Approach | Chapter 10 | Language, Literature and Education: Research Updates Vol. 1

The higher education sector in the UAE has witnessed escalating competition, resulting in an increase in the number of national and international universities operating here. This study aims to propose and test a conceptual model, Market-based Management (MBM) which is a management philosophy designed to enable organizations to succeed through internal cultural shifts. In order to get some insightful understanding, this research examines a mid-sized business institute, SZABIST-Dubai by using a qualitative research methodology of case study. The research adopted the five attributes of Market-Based Management (MBM) to SZABIST and some significant findings were the survival and profitability challenges faced by SZABIST and a unidirectional centralized decision-making model that is adapted currently at the institute.  The outcome of this paper is its proposition of Market-Based Management (MBM) as a tool to evolve into a knowledge-based learning organization that is more responsive to regional and local challenges. The most significant contribution of this paper towards this objective is the founding of Task Teams that transform tacit learning into explicit knowledge through the process of socialization. This paper can be useful for future researchers who wish to extend these findings to other higher educational institutes.

Leadership as a Mediator of Learning Organization, Technology and Innovation Influencing Competitiveness of Thai Exporting Business | Chapter 3 | Insights into Economics and Management Vol. 9

 The goal of this mixed methods study was to look into the function of leadership in conveying the impact of learning organizations, technology, and innovation on Thai exporters' competitiveness. In quantitative research, a structured and tested questionnaire was employed as a tool. The sample consisted of 110 exporting companies chosen at random among 1,723 Thai exporting companies using stratified random sampling. The findings revealed that leadership acted as a partial mediator in the transmission function. It was also discovered that leadership has a direct impact on a company's competitiveness. Technology and innovation were important antecedents of competitiveness since they had a large direct and indirect impact on the outcome variable. All of the respondents praised learning efforts and had worked to transform their companies into learning organizations in order to gain a competitive advantage. Business survival also necessitated the use of modern technology and innovation. Organizational culture, social capital, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and life-long education were among the hidden variables highlighted by key informants through in-depth interviews and were investigated further throughout this study.
