  • Effect of internal factors on strategic management practices of deposit money banks in South West, Nigeria   Order a copy of this article
    by Chinwe Chibuzor Etonyeaku, Adeyemi Oluwaseun Adepoju, Muftau Adesina Abayomi, Olalekan Aquila Jesuleye 
    Abstract: Organisations differ in their capacity to manage and implement strategies as internal operations determine their strengths and weaknesses, as well as develop strategic plans to exploit environmental opportunities. This paper assesses the effect of internal factors on strategic management practices (SMPs) of deposit money banks (DMBs) in South West, Nigeria. Multistage sampling procedure was adopted to obtain 384 questionnaires from various cadres in the DMBs. Data analysis was conducted using partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS version 3. The findings of the study revealed that communication system, financial capacity, and human capital constructs were positive and significant predictors of SMPs, whereas others were not significant. This suggests that DMBs should leverage the communication system to enhance the effectiveness of SMPs and ensure that adequate financial resources are allocated to enhance the business operations of the DMBs. We further provide implications and draw conclusion from the findings.
    Keywords: internal factors; PLS-SEM; strategic management practices; SMPs; deposit money banks; DMBs; Nigeria.

  • A new approach to effectively utilise the SWOT matrix in organisational strategic research (case study: Faraz Cement Company)   Order a copy of this article
    by Mohaddese Bagheri, Reza Kamranrad 
    Abstract: In this paper, a new approach is proposed for the effective use of the SWOT in organisational strategic research. This paper is a report on the analysis of internal and external factors, internal factors evaluation matrix, external factors evaluation matrix, combination of internal and external factors matrix, SWOT matrix and finally the application of quantitative strategic planning matrix and strategy prioritisation system. To run the proposed methodology, errors in the method of using the SWOT matrix in the organisation are presented. In addition, in order to show the efficiency of the fundamental method, a case study has been conducted in Faraz Cement Company. According to the results, the company should try to increase its production to develop export markets using existing facilities which lead to reduce the logistics and company costs that affect the company's profit margins.
    Keywords: strategic management; organisational strategic; SWOT; internal factors; external factors; quantitative matrix of strategic planning; prioritisation; logistics; company's profit.
