The impact of organisational culture on firm performance has been well documented. Previous studies on the impact of organisational culture derived from its national culture have been conducted in homogenous cultures. Little attention has been given to the impact of organisational culture derived from Indonesian culture on firm performance. Indonesia's subcultures may not be represented in the national culture. This study examines the impact of organisational culture on firm performance among Indonesia manufacturing firms. Results from 152 organisations confirm that organisational culture has significant effect on firm performance. Only individualism and uncertainty avoidance significantly impact firm performance. The implication is that, even in a country with many subcultures, firms' top management still need to pay attention to the impact of national culture at organisational level. Furthermore, since Indonesia has a very low score on individualism, managers need to create a conducive and rewarding environment for individuals to contribute.

Purchasing consortium (PC) is horizontal collaboration amongst companies to jointly perform their purchasing activities. PC offers companies with better pricing in obtaining goods. One of the critical factors companies to join in the PC is the amount of benefits that would be achieved when they join in the PC compared to when they purchase individually, this factor also called nature of benefits. Strategies to maximize the nature of benefit of PC include two aspects, namely minimizing the total cost of purchasing and maximizing the allocation of saving/gain to each member. This research will be focused on the first aspect of those strategies which is modelling strategy to minimize the total purchase cost. The total purchase cost involves the purchase costs, ordering costs, shipping costs, inventory costs, fix operational cost and penalty cost. Mixed integer programming was developed to model procurement strategy to minimize the total cost of the purchasing system. Sensitivity analysis was also performed to evaluate how different values of parameters affect the total cost. Numerical experiments showed that the total cost of purchasing very sensitive to changes in number of demand from each member of PC. Potential contributions of this research is to provide an overview of the purchasing strategy in the PC by a quantitative approach and determine the condition when a PC needs to make changes on its procurement strategy to maintain and/or improve its nature of benefits during different system's condition.

Selecting attributes for shipyard performance measurement remain essential as the dynamic changes occur in manufacturing technology and future ships products. The present study provides the Value Engineering and Risk Assessment (VENRA) approach as the performance measurement model for ship manufacturing. Existing criteria similarity and applicability, in shipyard industry, have been examined through a thorough critical review. A number of performance criteria have been identified, including technical, business, external, and safety/risk groups as part of the VENRA model. Subject experts provide the relevant scoring of the model through a dedicated Likert Scale to assess the weighted criteria. The result shows shipyard facility and capacity are the most critical main criteria, while launching/docking facility and welding machine facility are the top two crucial sub-criteria. The case study of one Indonesian shipyard shows the model’s effectiveness, suggesting shipyard examine their existing facility and capacity as part of the technical performance.
