A Systematic Review of Agile-Adaptive Balanced Scorecard and Sustainable Performance: Bibliometric, and Future Direction
No full textWhile sustainability initiatives have gained recognition and significance in modern organizations, they often encounter obstacles within firms, especially SMEs. Consequently, the adoption of integrated tools like AABSC has become crucial, replacing traditional BSC tools, to empower managers to make informed decisions amid sudden economic fluctuations. However, the adoption of AABSC remains limited in the literature review and is still in the process of dissemination and adoption by scholars and researchers. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the literature that has adopted AABSC in developing countries, particularly to focus on SMEs. The research methodology involved a systematic review of the ScienceDirect, IEEE, Scopus, and Web of Science databases from 2010 to 2021, resulting in the gathering of 1,841 papers. These articles were then filtered based on inclusion and exclusion criteria defined in the systematic review protocol. From the findings, a total of 39 articles were selected and divided into four distinct categories. The first category encompasses MAS, accounting for 20.50%, followed by AABSC at 10.26%. The third category pertains to sustainable performance, representing 30.77%, while the final category consists of Hybrid Studies, accounting for 38.46%. Nevertheless, the systematic review also highlights the necessity for more rigorous evaluations regarding the adoption of AABSC. This research has implications for both the body of knowledge and practice, as it sheds light on the outcomes and potential benefits of implementing AABSC in developing country firms, particularly SMEs
Academic Entrepreneurship: A Systematic Review of Literature
No full textAcademic entrepreneurship has received a lot of attention in the academic community and policy makers (Teixeira & Nogueira, 2016). The underlying objective to present study is to conduct the systematic literature review on academic entrepreneurship and its role in developed and developing countries. Total 365 papers from 1990 to 2016 and 158 papers were published during the 2017 to 2020 in Scopus and Web of Science databases, after considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria, total 146 papers were considered in current study. The findings of present study reveals that the definition of academic entrepreneurship is still unclear and most of the studies are from developed economies and so far, literature in unable to consider the research ambidexterity among the individual faculty members. The findings of present study will facilitate the academicians, researchers, universities, and policymakers in understanding the role and significance of academic entrepreneurship
Coastal protection strategies in sustainable landscape design at Kelanang Beach, Selangor
No full textNatural attractions and distinctive geographical settings make the coastal environment a promising opportunity for economic and social development. However, coastal areas are susceptible to environmental change, as the recent event shows that sea level rise has damaged Kelanang Beach. Controlling and minimizing the damage caused by sea level rise in the coastal zone is important for the area\u27s benefit and long-term survival. Coastal protection strategies are essential to the survival of coastal ecosystems and the communities that rely on them. This study proposes coastal protection strategies in sustainable landscape design for Kelanang Beach, Selangor. The study entails the collection of primary data through site observation, in addition to the collection of secondary data which both compiled in the stage of site inventory, analysis, and map synthesis. The proposed design focuses on three main areas: the Kelanang Beach area, the glamping site area, and the mangrove trail area. The aesthetic value and practicality of these areas are highlighted through the design process including a zoning diagram, functional diagram, spatial diagram, design idea plan, and master plan proposal. Coastal protection strategies suggested in the master plan proposal include the integration of hard and soft strategies such as breakwater, planting buffer, and mangrove replanting. The design emphasized vegetation richness to stabilize the beach embankment and maintain the coastal line in the near future. This master plan idea is one of the landscape planning mechanisms to develop coastal areas while strengthening positive symbiotic relationships between local residents, tourists, and the natural environment
Assessment of flora diversity and population structure in Lagos-Sagamu-Abeokuta Expressway, Southwestern Nigeria
No full textThe Lagos-Shagamu-Abeokuta Expressway is a globally important biodiversity hotspot and is facing rapid loss in floristic diversity and changing patterns of vegetation due to various biotic and abiotic factors. This has necessitated the qualitative and quantitative assessment of floral diversity and population structure. The vegetation survey along this route was conducted using the systematic sampling methods. Three sample plots of 50 m x 50 m were laid in alternate side at 100m interval. In each sample plot, all living trees (with GBH at 1.3 m of trees) greater than or equal to 3 m high at midpoint were measured. A total of 4212 individuals representing 134 species, 117 genera, and 48 families were recorded. Fabaceae was the dominant family in this route with 22 species, followed by Euphorbiaceae (8 species), Apocynaceae (8 species), and Poaceae (5 species). Among genera, Senna was followed by Ficus, Terminalia, Cola, Clerodendrum, Albizia, and Alchornea. The population structure of woody species based on diameter class distribution reflected reversed J-shape. The species diversity indexes for dominance (0.02, 0.06), Simpson index value (0.97, 0.93), Shannon–Weiner (3.91, 3.25), evenness (0.59, 0.52) and Margalef (11.22, 6.15) were recorded for arboreal and non-arboreal species respectively. Results obtained revealed high diversity of woody species in the vegetation along this route. The non-arboreal species along this route is threatened by continuous animal grazing, intensification of commercialized farming and invasive species. The information on tree species structure and function can provide baseline information for the conservation of the biodiversity of the tropical forest in this area

Factors Influencing Customer Satisfaction In Using J&T Express Service Delivery During Covid-19 Pandemic In Malaysia
No full textOn April 1, 2022, Malaysia transitioned from the Covid-19 pandemic\u27s epidemic phase. The shift to the endemic phase, which allows Malaysians to resume a nearly normal life after two years of fighting the pandemic, is a strategy for exiting the situation. It has produced some unanticipated disruptions, exacerbated some pre-existing trends, and compelled us to make some adjustments to our way of life. Even after COVID-19 is no longer a public health threat, some of these modifications most likely will not disappear. Many of these changes, like the expansion of delivery options for customers and businesses, will be advantageous. Access to goods and services could be made simpler, which could raise everyone\u27s standard of living. In Malaysia, the government urges to utilize the online services and delivery services such as J&T Express. J&T Express is well-known for providing logistical services, particularly in the areas of parcel and document delivery. The purpose of this study was to look into the factors that influence customer satisfaction, such as price, reliability, and responsiveness, when using J&T Express Service Delivery during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Malaysia. These factors are critical since customers are likely to remain satisfied till services become more enticing.
