Item Restricted Exploring the Role of Strategic Management Accounting in Enhancing Organizational Performance: A Comprehensive Literature Review(Swansea University, 2024-09) Alfaddah, Zuhair; Ojra, JafarThis dissertation explores the role of Strategic Management Accounting (SMA) in enhancing organizational performance through a comprehensive review of existing literature. SMA, which integrates financial and non-financial information with long-term strategic goals, is positioned as a critical tool for improving decision-making and maintaining competitive advantage. Key techniques such as Activity-Based Costing (ABC), the Balanced Scorecard (BSC), Target Costing, and Benchmarking are examined for their contributions to aligning management accounting with broader business strategies. The study identifies SMA’s potential to improve resource allocation, cost control, and performance measurement by linking accounting practices with strategic objectives. However, the successful implementation of SMA is challenged by factors such as complexity, high implementation costs, and resistance to cultural change within organizations. These barriers, especially prevalent in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), underscore the importance of tailoring SMA techniques to specific organizational needs and fostering cross-functional collaboration. The dissertation also highlights gaps in the literature, particularly the under-exploration of SMA in service industries and its integration with emerging business trends such as sustainability and digital transformation. Recommendations are provided for practitioners on how to overcome implementation barriers, invest in data infrastructure, and integrate SMA into strategic planning processes. In conclusion, while SMA offers significant benefits for improving long-term competitiveness and decision-making, its effectiveness depends on the organization's ability to align SMA practices with strategic goals, adapt to evolving market conditions, and overcome operational and cultural challenges. The study suggests areas for further research, including the application of SMA in non- manufacturing industries and its role in supporting sustainability initiatives16 0Item Restricted An effective way to train Cyber Security in Saudi Arabia Assessing the impact of emerging information technology on project performance in construction(University Of Portsmouth, 2024-09-16) Albishri, Abdullah Mohammed; Boadi, PriscillaDue to rapid workplace change, effective training and development are crucial for employee growth and organisational success. Hence, this research aims to examine how training and development programs effect company and professional performance. This study examines how training programs affect workers' professional growth, job satisfaction, and corporate production. The study addresses three main questions about training programs and career progression, the relationship between skill-improvement programs and organisational results, and how personal and organisational variables affect program success. The literature and empirical assessments show that concentrated training programs boost career prospects and job satisfaction. Organisations that provide professional development improve performance and retention. Findings emphasise the need to tailor training programs to corporate and individual needs. The study acknowledges data reliability, scope, and technique constraints. Practitioners, lawmakers, and organisations should establish customised training programs, pass learningfriendly laws, and foster a climate where individuals are continually improving. Future research should address long-term effects, new technologies, and varied demography using longitudinal studies.11 0Item Restricted Effects of Workforce Diversity on Employees and Organizational Performance(King's College London, 2023-12-01) AlShammary, Talal; Krachler, NickCompanies are looking for different ways in which to improve their employee and organizational performance in a highly competitive market.
