development, philosophical underpinnings, and present state of strategic management research. This will also demonstrate the broad assumptions and implications of several strategic management approaches. Researcher will discover the knowledge and understanding by familiarizing the rich, multi-disciplinary literature in periodicals, journals and research reports on the history of strategic management and its ongoing evolutions in organizations and system. Furthermore, this chapter will provide the
Management in industry, corporates and organisations is the function that harmonizes the work of people to achieve objectives of said entity. This is done through using accessible resources competently and successfully. Management includes planning, organizing, recruitment, leading or directing, and regulating an entity to achieve the objectives and goals. In addition, to resource includes the distribution and employment of human, financial, technological, and natural resources. Management has definitely
performance management. This study mainly builds on the strategic HRM literature (Huselid 1995; Becker & Gerhart, 1996; Wright, Dunford & Snell, 2001) and employee performance management literature (Fletcher 2001; Armstrong & Baron 2002; Den Hartog, Boselie & Paauwe, 2004; DeNisi & Pritchard, 2006). In addition, this theoretical framework elaborates on the goal-setting theory (Locke & Latham 1990, 2002) and the social cognitive theory (Bandura, 1986).
tests. In conclusion, the experiments resulted in the advantages in generating theories and conducting tests to reiterate the research done. Human relations stressed that more attention must be paid to the workers well-being and welfare to create a motivational environment in the workplace. The Hawthorne studies were the building blocks to numerous studies conducted that improved the development in management theory. Many theorists have made important contributions to the study of behavioral science
The framework in figure 2.2 includes task and contextual performance with the addition of adaptive performance and counterproductive work behaviour. Counterproductive work behaviour is defined as behaviour that harms the well-being of the organisation such as absenteeism, being late for work, engaging in off-task behaviour, theft and substance abuse (Koopmans et al., 2011:862). 2.3.3 Predictors of job performance Sonnentag et al., (2008:432) argue that there are two predictors of job performance
Taylor's Scientific Management was the foundation stone for the development of this field through his principle of scientific selection and systematic training and development of the worker and Gantt later emphasized on it by adding that together with the above there was also a need for obtaining the willing cooperation of the worker. The same was also emphasized by M.P Follett. The biggest watershed came with the advent of the Human Relations revolution which made the study / theory of this field interdisciplinary

existing literature pertaining to the core construct of the study. Mainly the constructs which are going to be explored in this study are based on the renowned two theories called institutional theory and resource based view theory. The reason to relate institutional theory on adoption of green supply chain practices is due to supply chain management involves the corporation and interaction among multiple stakeholders. Further, decision to adopt green supply chain practices may have to more interact with
the interaction with the external environment and on the intrinsic thoughts of human actors about their webs, beliefs and actions. There are five main theories, which capture the explanation of why and how change happens, the evolution theory, the life-cycle, the teleology, the dialectic theory (Van de Ven and Poole, 1995) and the emergency theory (Plowman et al., 2007). Through the lens of the of the dialectic
3.0. Literature Review Raw Material Management in Supply Chain Management The raw material management in the supply chain management involves a systematic process that reveals the flow analysis for the availability of the raw resources (Bowersox, 2013). The flow analysis for the availability of the raw materials indicates the important drivers of both scarcity as well availability raw materials in terms of rates. The flow analysis shows the steps involved in developing a network of raw materials
