La Responsabilidad Social Corporativa es un término que a pesar de la importancia que está cobrando en la actualidad, cuenta con una larga historia previa. Esta relevancia se debe principalmente a la toma de conciencia por parte de las empresas a tener comportamientos sostenibles y responsables. Gracias a estas actuaciones, las organizaciones consiguen relacionarse con mayor facilidad con sus stakeholders, ya que estos prefieren empresas con prácticas responsables. Por otro lado, cabe destacar que la Dirección de Operaciones tiene una competencia fundamental sobre la RSC a la hora de fijar sus objetivos y las estrategias que pretende seguir. Esto es, por la gran influencia que tienen estas decisiones sobre la RSC. En este trabajo se ha analizado la RSC tratando de explicar cuáles son sus principales componentes, y como la Dirección de Operaciones se encuentra estrechamente relacionada con ella.

This paper addresses the reasons why a growing number of students are failing to complete their final master dissertations/thesis. It analyses the final Master's Course Thesis (TFM, Trabajo Fin de Máster) on the Masters in Advanced Business Management Studies course (MUEADE, Máster Universitario en Estudios Avanzados en Dirección de Empresas) at the University of Seville, which has a 100% success rate (the number of passes over students who completed the Master's Thesis). However, the same is not true of the performance rate (the number of students completing the thesis over the number of students enrolled on the course), which means that a large number of students do not receive their Master's Degrees. Using results from a survey of final year TFM students and of their course supervisors, this paper seeks to better understand the reasons why students are dropping out before completing their final thesis with a view to taking corrective actions.

This paper analyses the research published in high-impact journals on Financial Management in large projects. Our purpose is to answer the following research questions: (a) Which financial aspects are analysed? (b) How are the financial theories applied to large project management? (c) What are the potential areas for further research? The methodology applied is a bibliographic review of articles related with research questions published from 2000 to February 2013 as stored in the main databases. Our findings show that performance is the most intensely studied aspect although no agreement in performance measurement has yet been reached.

Stakeholder management (SM) in megaprojects was established as one of four working groups within the Megaproject COST Action. The critical importance of stakeholder management in megaprojects was identified in the first phase of the COST Action‘s research by case studies. It was obvious that stakeholder have huge impact on the performance of megaprojects. Thus, this working group started with the focus on this specific aspect of megaproject management. Thereby, the focus was aligned with the overall aim of the COSTAction: "…to understand how megaprojects can be designed and delivered more effectively to ensure their effective commissioning within Europe. Effective design and delivery means not only insuring that the megaproject is delivered on-time and to budget but that it satisfies the societal and commercial needs that motivated its creation and that it continues to do so throughout its entire life-cycle.

This paper focuses on the interrelationships among the different dimensions of supply chain integration. Specifically, it examines the relationship between employee commitment and supply chain integration dimensions to explain several performance measures, such as flexibility, delivery, quality, inventory and customer satisfaction. Very little research has been conducted onto this topic, since employee commitment is rarely included as an antecedent of the effect of supply chain integration on performance. Seven research models have been analysed with Structural Equation Models using a multiple-informant international sample of 266 mid-to-large-size manufacturing plants. The findings suggest that the relationship between employee commitment and operational performance is fully mediated by supply chain integration. Employee commitment contributes to improving internal integration, and internal integration affects performance both directly and indirectly. Moreover, obtaining internal integration helps to achieve supplier and customer integration. As a result, companies should strive to achieve both employee commitment and internal integration, as they mutually reinforce each other. Similarly, managers should achieve internal integration before external integration and include external integration at the strategic level in order to reap the greatest advantages from supply chain integration. Meanwhile, managers should promote employee commitment not only for better supply chain success, but also to mitigate the barriers of supply chain management implementation.

Purpose: The clarification of the constructs of the supply chain integration (clients, suppliers, external and internal), the creation of a measurement instrument based on a list of items taken from earlier papers, the validation of these scales and a preliminary benchmark to interpret the scales by percentiles based on a set of control variables (size of the plant, country, sector and degree of vertical integration). Design/methodology/approach: Our empirical analysis is based on the HPM project database (2005- 2007 timeframe). The international sample is made up of 266 plants across ten countries: Austria, Canada, Finland, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Spain, Sweden and the USA. In each country. We analized the descriptive statistics, internal consistency testing to purify the items (inter-item correlations, Cronbach’s alpha, squared multiple correlation, corrected item-total correlation), exploratory factor analysis, and finally, a confirmatory factor analysis to check the convergent and discriminant validity of the scales. The analyses will be done with the SPSS and EQS programme using the maximum likelihood parameter estimation method. Findings: The four proposed scales show excellent psychometric properties. Research limitations/implications: with a clearer and more concise designation of the supply chain integration measurement scales more reliable and accurate data could be taken to analyse the relations between these constructs with other variables of interest to the academic l fields. -Practical implications: providing scales that are valid as a diagnostic tool for best practices, as well as providing a benchmark with which to compare the score for each individual plant against a collection of industrial companies from the machinery, electronics and transportation sectors. Originality/value: supply chain integration may be a major factor in explaining the performance of companies. The results are nevertheless inconclusive, the vast range of results obtaine

Competitive pressure, high development costs, long lead times, rapidly changing technologies and the risks inherent in projects combined with the delays seen in the latest aircraft models (with the rise in costs that these have entailed) highlight the need to reorganise the supply chain in the aeronautics sector paying special attention to an improvement in inter- and intra-organisational integration. The aim of the present study is to analyse the situation of supply chain integration (SCI) in the aeronautics sector using three dimensions (information integration, coordination and resource sharing and organisational relationship linkage), considering both internal integration and external integration with customers and suppliers. A group of first tier supplier experts analyse the dimensions and assess the degree to which the factors that define SCI have been achieved. The results enable strengths and weaknesses to be determined and indicate possible improvements to the situation that is detected with clear managerial implications.

Academic literature would appear to indicate that supply chain integration is a major factor in explaining the performance of companies. The results are nevertheless inconclusive. Certain authors put forward the idea that the vast range of results obtained are due, amongst other things, to the fact that there is no exactness to the group of scales used, no-one has yet published an analysis of the measurement models nor clear benchmarks. In this paper, we present the theoretical definition of four supply chain integration scales (clients, suppliers, external and internal) and the convergent and discriminant validity of a measurement instrument based on a list of items taken from earlier papers. We also propose a benchmark to interpret the scales by percentiles, using a diverse international sampling broken down into sub-samples based on sector, type of company, size of company and degree of vertical integration.

There is mounting interest in both theory and practice regarding the relationship between Human Resource Management (HRM) and Total Quality Management (TQM), as well as the relationship between HRM and TQM and organisational performance. This paper focuses on the empirical explanation of the role of commitment as a form of mediation between the HRM or TQM practices and company competitiveness (competitive advantage and customer satisfaction). Light is also shed on the interrelationship between HRM and TQM practices testing the scope of influence of each HRM practice on TQM implementation, including the effect of HRM on individual TQM practices., Hay un creciente interés, tanto en los aspectos teóricos como en los prácticos, sobre la relación entre la gestión de los recursos humanos (HRM) y la gestión de la calidad total (TQM), así como sobre la relación entre HRM y TQM y los resultados empresariales. Este artículo realiza un estudio empírico que analiza el papel del compromiso de los trabajadores como variable mediadora entre las prácticas de HRM y TQM y la competitividad de la empresa (ventaja competitiva y satisfacción del cliente). También se analiza la relación entre las prácticas de HRM y TQM, determinando el efecto que cada práctica individual de HRM tiene sobre la implementación de TQM, así como el efecto en HRM de cada práctica de TQM.

[ESP] Los programas de gestión de recursos humanos (HRM) son un sistema formal de actividades usadas en la organización, que dan a los empleados las habilidades, información y motivación para intervenir en la toma de decisiones y, como resultado de ello, transforman la mano de obra en una fuente de ventaja competitiva sostenible, siempre y cuando se utilicen integrados con la estrategia de la empresa. Por otra parte, los programas de gestión total de la calidad (TQM) tienen por objetivo mejorar y mantener la calidad de los productos y procesos para cumplir y superar las expectativas de los clientes, aprovechando la implicación de los mandos, trabajadores, clientes y proveedores . Tanto HRM como TQM forman un sistema coherente de prácticas, consistente y reforzado, en el que el resultado global es superior a la aplicación aislada de alguna de ellas. El objetivo que aborda el presente trabajo será validar las escalas HRM y TQM, propuestas por el modelo HPM, para que puedan ser usadas como variables exógenas en investigaciones posteriores. En aquellas subescalas que no tengan unas propiedades psicométricas adecuadas, se realizará una propuesta de modificación de ítems para que superen los mínimos exigidos.

Los directivos actuales conciben que la competencia ya no es empresa frente a empresa, sino que desborda este plano generándose una competencia cadena de suministro frente a cadena de suministro. Por ello, la gestión de la cadena de suministro se convierte en un elemento clave para la supervivencia empresarial y la obtención de ventajas competitivas. El diseño de la cadena de suministro viene definido, en buena parte, por las características del sector al que pertenece. En consecuencia, es de interés realizar análisis sectoriales. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar la cadena de suministro en un sector de gran importancia en la economía española, como es el metalúrgico. En concreto, buscamos determinar su cadena de suministro, definiendo los principales eslabones que la configuran y las relaciones entre ellos., In the current business context, competition is no longer firm against firm, but has moved on to a higher plane, with the generation of supply chain against supply chain competition. Therefore, Supply Chain Management (SCM) has strategic relevance as a source of competitive advantage. The design of the supply chain is defined largely by the characteristics of the sector. Consequently, sectorial analysis is required. The aim of this paper is to analyze the supply chain of the metallurgical sector. Specifically, it will be focused on determining its supply chain and defining its main links and relationships.

Purpose: Information & Communication Technologies (ICT) can be a fundamental aid for the design of new teaching methods that better adapt to the framework of the European Higher Education Area. In this context, this study aims to develop and assess a complex and truly interactive ICT-based teaching tool for instruction in OM. Design/methodology/approach: A multimedia application for Just-in-Time (JIT) / Lean Production has been conceived, designed and assessed. A constructivist focus was followed in its conception and design to encourage active and flexible learning adapted to each individual’s own requirements. Using empirical research the tool has been assessed by students and compared to the traditional teaching methods. Findings: The interactive multimedia application has been clearly valued for the way it conveys information and for its usability, for the way the application is structured and the improvements to students’ understanding of the knowledge. Students are also in favour of ICT being incorporated into teaching over more traditional methods. The assessment took students’ gender and the average overall mark on their academic records as control variables but, broadly-speaking, no significant differences were found.

Design/methodology/approach: A bibliometric study was carried out of 45 of the main JCR OM and Management journals for the 1995-2010 period. The 129 articles identified on research in OM teaching were analysed. Findings: There is a dearth of articles on teaching in the main OM and Management journals. Sixty-two point two percent of the journals analysed have not published any and the remainder (17) have devoted only 0.4% of all their publications to this subject area. Descriptive and theoretical/conceptual studies that address teaching innovations dominate. One of the challenges identified that should be highlighted is the need to develop quality empirical studies that enable the real impact of teaching methodologies on improving student performance (in all its different aspects) to be known. Research limitations: The analysis was restricted to 45 of the most important OM and Management journals on the basis of prior studies. This sample can be considered to be representative given the objectives of the study. Practical implications: Researchers in teaching in OM are provided with an analysis of published studies which will enable them to steer future research according to the results and challenges set. Teachers of OM are provided with a selection of articles that can help them to develop their teaching strategy. Companies will be affected to the extent that they properly train future managers. Originality/value: Innovation in teaching is the basis for the improved training and skilling up of students and future company managers. No previous research has been done that examines publications in teaching in OM and Management journals and valorises this major field of study.

El presente trabajo busca la mejora de la formación de la Dirección de Operaciones (DO) tomando como punto de referencia al estudiante. Los resultados obtenidos muestran la necesidad de hacer más comprensibles y motivantes las asignaturas de DO ante la falta de interés del alumno por desarrollarse profesionalmente en esta área. Por tanto, debemos orientar la estrategia docente de forma que actúe sobre estas variables. Con tal objetivo, se han analizado tres metodologías (enseñanza asistida por ordenador, seminario presencial y enseñanza a distancia tradicional) determinando su influencia en variables como motivación, dificultad percibida, comprensión de la materia y percepción del aprendizaje. Haciendo uso, entre otros, del análisis factorial y el análisis de la varianza se han evaluado dichos entornos educativos, estableciendo los que resultan más adecuados para abordar la problemática que para el alumno presenta la formación en una disciplina tan importante para la gestión empresarial., This paper proposes to improve instruction in Operations Management (OM) by taking the student as a reference. The results show the need to make the subjects more understandable and motivating, given the student’s lack of interest in developing professionally in this area. The aim should therefore be for the teaching strategy to act upon these variables. Three educational environments (computer-assisted learning, presential seminar and traditional distance teaching) have been analysed with this goal in mind in order to determine their influence on such variables as motivation, perceived difficulty, understanding of the material and perception of the learning. Said educational environments have been evaluated making use of such aids as factor analysis and variance analysis. We have determined the environments that are best suited to dealing with the problems that instruction in such an important discipline for business administration presents for students.
