We discuss how individual practices influence innovation, and how the clustering of specific practices matters for innovation outcomes. Relatedly, we discuss various possible mediators of the HRM/innovation link, such as knowledge sharing, social capital and network effects. We argue that the causal mechanisms underlying the HRM/innovation links are still ill-understood, calling for further research.

The people's fears are in line with a growing number of criminal cases. From street crime to serious crime, Malaysians expect practical initiatives to help solve this problem. This conceptual paper will discuss background, theoretical, past research, discussion of deviant behaviour tendencies, issues and challenges. In this discussion, too, the focus is on the individual's tendency to get caught up in deviant behaviour and thus lead to criminal behaviour. These tendencies will be examined in terms of affective, cognitive and behavioural aspects of individuals. This study combines several theories on the perpetrator's tendency to commit crimes that begin with deviant behaviour. Small-scale deviant behaviour should not be overlooked as it can often contribute to large-scale criminal activities. The most important part of this discussion is t...

The study mainly focused on the precarious framework of smart learning and key features of smart learning settings through earlier studies. There was a sample of 326 learners who were examined on the academic impact of the Smart Education System. Nevertheless, the results demonstrated that the use of the smart education system has a positive effect on teachers’ efficiency and educational outcomes. The political implications of this research are that it is anticipated that smart education will steadily improve, particularly in the UAE context.

The Korean popular culture has influenced youth consumption patterns. Today, information has a great influence on the values and lifestyle of society and also gives consumers a lot more options. Teenagers especially are very fond of American popular music, film and fashion because those are what they often see through broadcasting and entertainment. This opportunity has been used by South Korea to commercialize their culture as a commodity package through Hallyu. There is a need to look to Korea popular culture in every dimension because popular culture has a unique set of dimension. This study identifies the critical dimensions of Korean popular culture among adolescents living in the Klang valley. A study was conducted by an exploratory examination among Malaysian adolescents

Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine the ideal criteria of supplier for furniture manufacturing industry using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) model. This quantitative study method is carried out by distributing questionnaires to 49 respondents in SMEs furniture manufacturing industries and the data analyzed using Expert Choice Software to rank the supplier selection criteria. The result shows that the ideal criteria for supplier selection are ranked by quality, delivery, service and cost. Other SMEs furniture manufacturing possibly referred this outcome when sort out a decision making for ideal supplier selection

Therefore the use of Accounting Information System (AIS) is inevitable to organizations as to keep up with the change of technology with regard to the accounting related matters. The purpose of the AIS has evolved from the simple use of formal and financial information to incorporate various kinds of information (Chenhall, 2003)

This conceptual study sought to investigate the TQM best practices dimensions that could be applied by the service industry. The research in TQM in Malaysia have been explored quite extensively focusing particularly on manufacturing industry but not in other industry including service industry. The preliminary result indicated that seven dimensions of TQM could be applied for TQM best practice. The discussion and arguments in this conceptual study would be used further in the actual study to address the lacuna in research on TQM and provide insights for organizations to use TQM best practices in the service industry today. The main aim of this study is to determine the best practice dimensions of TQM in Malaysia’s service industry, taking into consideration the dimensions proposed by previous research (i.e.: leadership, supplier management, strategic planning, human resource management, customer focus, information and analysis and process management). This study will further identify how TQM could influence service industry organizational performance in Malaysia to fill the gap in TQM and service industry.

Strong brand equity is achieved when consumer recognize the brands and have favorable brands identification and brand loyalty (Sertac Cifci et al., 2016). Customer attitude and behavior intention are formed and influenced by considerable role of Words of Mouth (WOM) communication (Silke Bambauer-Sachse and Sabrina Mangold, 2011). Nowadays, WOM communication has becoming more influential than communication through other sources like editorial recommendation in magazine and advertisement in mass media like television and radio because it is perceived to provide comparative reliable information (Silke Bambauer-Sachse and Sabrina Mangold, 2011). WOM is defined as the passing of information from person to person by the oral communication which could be as simple as telling someone a simple quote (Nur A’mirah Hassan Basri et al., 2016).

Thisresearch aimed to identify the varieties and waste management of palm oil waste. The present paper also proposedto identify the potential of biogas as fuel for electricity generation purposes. Quantitative and qualitative approacheswere employed in this research by conducting a telephone survey with selected Malaysian palm oil mills, andobtaining information from secondary data. The result indicated that empty fruit brunch had the largest amount outof all palm oil waste; nevertheless, palm oil mills are still using palm oil mill effluent to produce biogas.Furthermore, most palm oil mill owners still are not aware that biogas can be used to power fuel cell for electricitygeneration. Therefore, it is recommended for biogas to be classified as a new type of renewable energy resource andthe Malaysian government can implement a new energy policy to encourage the consumptio...

This study aims to explore how the ownermanagers decide the network governance of network ties strength in their relationships in entrepreneurial networking. Specifically, the objective of the study is to determine the governance of network tie strength in entrepreneurial networking. This is a qualitative study involving eight cases of small-sized food manufacturing firms in the southern region of Malaysia using an in-depth interview technique with the owner-managers. The triangulation of data has been carried out by interviewing individuals who are seen as strong and weak ties of the network. This study found that the strength of ties was not only based on the strong intimacy and high emotional attachment (SIHEA) and trust, but also governed by the tie’s human capital...
