To date, several studies have been conducted to determine the relationship between human capital and company performance.The relationship between human capital and economic growth has been explored.However, past literature reveals that artificial intelligence techniques have not been utilized in understanding the effect of human capital on economic growth.Artificial intelligence techniques such as neural networks have been successfully applied to business and financial problems.To this end, the neural networks approach was used to determine the impact of human capital on the New Economy.This paper discusses the results of the exploratory study for predicting demand for human capital. Data from 1971 to 1996 was collected for this study.The variables ...

Based on this objective, this study utilized unbalanced panel dataset of 17 Islamic banks in Malaysia over the period 1998-2012.The method use is this study is panel data regression analysis. The results show that the level of capital is significant with the liquidity risk.For debt financing variable, the results signify that the higher volatility of debt financing modes will cause some liquidity risk.For macroeconomic condition, the result shows that impact of inflation rate could decrease the nominal value deposits in Islamic bank and finally the relationship of liquidity risk and Islamic bank deposit rate is negative.The implication of this study is that when the Islamic banks consider on their liquidity risk management, the have to look upon the behaviour of debt financing, inflation rate and Islamic bank deposit rate.

Small and medium enterprises, in particular, have to grapple with the technological innovations that challenge operations, efficiency, and productivity vis-a-vis human resource capabilities.As in many countries, Malaysia has adopted ICT in various sectors such as manufacturing, banking, finance, and telecommunication, to name a few.These sectors utilize knowledge workers that have technological and ICT skills for competitive advantage.In line with the 9th Malaysia Plan (2006-2010), it was reported that investment from the technology and ICT sector are expected to be the main driver for the manufacturing sector’s overall growth, which in turn, could contribute to greater export and create more employment opportunities.This research assessed the development of human resources based on the application of ICT in the industrial sector ...

Moreover, total failure of the construction firms is higher than the percentage of failures of firms in other industries. Therefore, this study was conducted to achieve three objectives. First, this study identifies the failure factors of Bumiputerac ontractors by using ratio analysis. For this analysis,four financial variables were chosen, which are capital liquidity, profitability, debt, and the efficiency of financial management/assets. The second objective identifies the causes of failure associated with the four financial variables. The third objective identifies the elements of effective financial management. To achieve these objectives, data collection involved the use of qualitative (ratio analysis and interviews) and quantitative (questionnaire)research methods that led to the concept of triangulation. Respondentstothe qualitative study consisted of 6 Bumiputera construction firms, while the quantitative data had 54respondents.The findings of the analysis showed the firmshad shortage of capital to finance projects, received small profit from construction projects, carried higher debt, and were less efficient in asset management. The study confirmed that capital problems experienced by the firmsresulted from the small capital at the start of their business, and the late payment from the clients (progress and final payment). Small profit margin was due to the increase in the prices of building materials, low price of contracts, and delays in project completion. Analysis showed that the higher debt of firms was caused by delays of the payment of the project owner, small capital base, and late receipt of advance payments. Moreover, asset management of the firm was said to be less efficient due to the level of ownership of fixed assets at a higher rate, and theimproper management of cash flow.

All nations in the world may receive threat and are exposed to cybercrime from terrorists to attack their national security. Nowadays, most of organizations such as the government, the private sector and multinational company store important data for various purposes. Generally, the first step in planning the deployment of any IT system for security functionality should be a comprehensive risk analysis of the system for protection and the subsequent generation of a set of security policies. Attempting to bound the Internet from a security standpoint would have been a never ending task. However, many of the conventional risks associated with, for example, the deployment of a corporate IT communication systems may be inappropriate for global public system like the Internet. Thus, some fundamental security principles still hold for the Net and ‗necessary' for data security management. This pa...

These changes will be enormous in scale, global in scope and will extend across all sectors. In advance of knowledge based technologies will contribute towards Vision 2020, is "to develop a nation of healthy individuals, families and communities through a health system that is equitable, affordable, efficient, technologically appropriate, environmentally adaptable and consumer friendly, with emphasis on quality, innovation, health prevention and respect for human dignity and promotes individual responsibility and community participation towards an enhanced quality of life." This paper highlights the possible application of knowledge based technologies technique in medical management perspective. In addition, the trend and its challenges in the 21 st Century are also discussed.
