Research Awards
Latest press releasesResearch Awards
Three WBS researchers receive recognition from Emerald, a top academic publishing group. The award brings with it peer recognition and, frequently, increases in research funding. Over 15,000 article reviews are added annually, so being singled out as one of the top 50 is a significant achievement.
Loizos Heracleous is among the winners of the newly-launched Best Practical Implications Award. Based on Emerald's long-standing 'Research you can use' publishing philosophy, the award was set to encourage and acknowledge research that is both rigorous and relevant to practitioners.
His jointly-authored paper Managing human resources for service excellence and cost effectiveness at Singapore Airlines is published in Managing Service Quality, Vol 18 No 1, 2008. It was selected by Emerald representatives for its quality and clear application of research among articles published last year.
Practical implications
This research has implications for organisations that aim to deliver consistent service excellence, by outlining HR practices that assist in this goal. The importance and contribution of HR to competitive advantage, and the importance of strategic alignment between functional strategies and business-level strategies, is highlighted for senior management.
Originality and value
The paper contributes to the understanding of how HR practices contribute to service excellence and competitive advantage, this being a key dimension of strategic alignment.
