Management Competence Model

Abstract

Based on the extensive literature review of the last chapter, we will use this chapter to present our model. In section 3.1, we will start with the description of the base model. In section 3.2, we will then continue with the description of the dimensions of the base model in more detail. We will finally conclude in section 3.3 the base model with the links between management practices and operational and business performance. In section 3.4, we will summarize the chapter with the setup of hypotheses and the distinction of the base model according to the samples taking into account market concerns. In our model description, we will use a similar chapter structure as in the last chapter, i.e., we will start with classical resources, continue with resource management and conclude with competitive priorities and additional performance indicators. This chapter will however not yet deliver the operationalization of the constructs we will test. We will only present a conceptualization of the model. Nevertheless, for presentation purposes only, we will start with a description of the model. The content of the different constructs will however be discussed in the chapter five, empirical results.
