إنتقال الشركات العائلية بين الأجيال في فلسطين
No full textPurpose – The main purpose of this research is to investigate the factors that affect familyowned
businesses succession process as well as outcomes and to present the necessary
recommendations for effective succession planning.
Design/Methodology/Approach –This research adopts the qualitative research design,
utilizing the content analysis methodology, and capitalizing on in-depth semi-structured
interviews with 16 persons who are purposively selected from family businesses in
Palestine to explore their perceptions and interpretations of the main factors that affect
succession planning and outcomes of these businesses.
Findings – The key findings of this research paper clearly illustrate that the top challenges
facing family businesses in Palestine are: (1) the general political and economic situation
in the country, (2) increasing competition locally and internationally, (3) financial-related
problems, (4) introducing new products and services, (5) finding more customers and
markets locally and globally.
The results also indicate that family businesses regard family business continuity,
maintaining family unity, protecting the family name in the market, and protecting the
family heritage and wealth as the most important benefits of succession planning.
In addition, it is found that the good father-son relationship is viewed as one of the most
critical factors that positively affects the outcomes of succession of family businesses. On
the other hand, rivalry among family members is one of the factors that negatively affect
succession outcomes.
Moreover, preparing successor during the life of the current business leader is considered
the best alternative for family businesses. On the other hand, having a written succession
plan is not popular to most family businesses.
Finally, family and management dimensions of family businesses are the most critical
factors that affect, positively or negatively, the process as well as the outcomes of
succession of family businesses.
III
Recommendations –The research provided some recommendations to family businesses
so as to effectively plan their succession. The recommendations include, among other
things, conducting effective communications among family members, separating
ownership and management, having boards of directors with independent directors, using
trusted advisors in succession issues, training successors, and putting in place an effective
communication mechanism among family members

Global asymptotic stability of the higher order equation x_ {n+ 1}=\ frac {ax_ {n}+ bx_ {nk}}{A+ Bx_ {nk}}
No full textIn this paper, we investigate the local and global stability and the period
two solutions of all nonnegative solutions of the difference equation,
xn+1 = axn + bxn−k
A + Bxn−k
where a, b, A, B are all positive real numbers, k ≥ 1 is a positive integer, and the initial
conditions x−k , x−k+1, ..., x0 are nonnegative real numbers. It is shown that the zero
equilibrium point is globally asymptotically stable under the condition a+b ≤ A, and
the unique positive solution is also globally asymptotically stable under the condition
a − b ≤ A ≤ a + b. By the end, we study the global stability of such an equation
through numerically solved examples
Data analytics as a tool for smart learning
No full textModern learning environments are characterized by the pervasive use of technology. Data from electronic submissions, student achievement and attendance records, student library/lab interactions, financial profiles, social media style interactions between students and teachers and content processing/delivery tools like TurnItIn, Moodle, and the likes is huge and growing fast. This big data can be exploited to profile learners so that content delivery is tailored for the particular needs and abilities of the individual learner. Educators always sought information about the learner to personalize the learning experience and make content delivery more effective and focused[2]. Learning analytics is concerned with using the multisource data on the learner and the surrounding environment/context for an optimized learning experience that is effective, personalized and less stressful and conducive to improved achievement. Learning analytics is based on applying data mining tools to student data footprint to ascertain user characteristics relevant to the educational process and adjust the teacher-student interaction accordingly[3].
The potential of data analytics is well recognized and is being increasingly exploited in diverse fields like finance, health, commerce, politics and much more. Education is no exception. We are already witnessing the expanded use of data analytics in the learning process for school, higher and continuing education and training. As elsewhere, one can foresee an array of issues that need to be tackled, including privacy, ethical and language considerations to steer the data analytics augmented learning process in the right direction[1].
With the growing emphasis on elearning and digitizing education in Palestine, one can see the potential of learning analytics in the local setting and the need to begin addressing this paradigm by teams of experts versed in both education and data analytics for the best results in the Palestinian context
