Technology transfer in Malaysian high technology industry
Technology transfer is vital to contribute to Malaysian economic development and firm’s productivity.As such, this study is aimed to investigate the practice of technology transfer among 12 major Malaysian high
- tech industries in order to develop an overview about the technology transfer, which has been implemented among Malaysian high-tech industries.The technology transfer practices encompassed (1) 5 classifications of
technology transfer-advocated by Khalil(2000), (2) 8 channels of technology flow advocated by Khalil (2000), (3) the Malaysia model in technology transfer for the beneficial of national technological development. A detailed survey instrument was
administered to 12 major Malaysian high
-tech industries to collect the required data
.The results of this investigation indicated that the rate of technology transfer was high as these firms under each industry were found to be performing outstandingly
The implementation of integrated management system in AUO SunPower Sdn. Bhd. towards Quality Management System
Link to publisher's homepage at http://ijbt.unimap.edu.my/Over the past few decades, many companies have embraced the Quality
Management Systems since quality appears to be the fundamental
requirements for corporate competitiveness. Recently, Environmental
Management System, ISO 14001 and Occupational Health and Safety
Management System, ISO 18001 need to be considered as one of the
additional quality management system dedicated to the management after the
ISO 9001 has been implemented. The relations and contacts between the
three main management system lead to the existence of Integrated
Management System (IMS) as the way to meet the requirements in quality
management, environmental management and occupational health and safety
management. This study explored the effectiveness of the Integrated
Management System in order to enhance the efficiency in management.
Furthermore, this study used mixed method, which is quantitative and
qualitative method that included interviews and also a questionnaire
technique to investigate the related and importance for AUO SunPower in
identifying the drivers, benefits, components, processes and barriers for the
implementation of Integrated Management System. By doing this, the author
can identify the important factors and also the best strategies in
implementing the Integrated Management System (IMS). On the other hand,
the author also have proposed the innovative suggestions and best practices
to enhance the efficiency of the IMS implementation which can enable the
company to have the maximum advantages of these comprehensive
management systems. As a conclusion, the Integrated Management System
might become the best practices for AUO SunPower Sdn. Bhd. in order to
maintain the green management system and provided the sustainability
practices. Besides, IMS also supports AUO SunPower to be more competitive
than the other system and provided the sustainability practices. Besides, IMS
also supports AUO SunPower to be more competitive than the other
companies
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Service Innovation in Malaysian Banking Industry towards Sustainable Competitive Advantage through Environmentally and Socially Practices
AbstractGlobalisation and increasing market competitiveness have driven banking institutions toward innovativeness in their operation to gain sustainable competitive advantage. Banking institutions are now competing on the basis of services rather than on the basis of physical products as it is hard to distinguish between products of competing brands in a given product category. It is the service offered by the banks that manifests true value. Service innovation involves intangible resources for a more radical service logic perspective that challenges the conventional attribute-based view of services delivery designs. It goes beyond the conventional boundaries of product innovativeness and involves assimilation of improved service processes by means of designing and improvising service delivery systems. In fact, the Malaysian banking industry has witnessed radical transformations based on many innovations in products, processes, services, business models, technology, and delivery systems. The pervasive influence of information and communication technology has revolutionized in banking. There has been relatively little research investigated the appropriate service innovations that influence firm performance in Malaysian banking industry. Thus, this research paper attempts a look at identifying the initiatives of Maybank Malaysia toward sustainability through a planned and systematic service innovation. The study is conceptual, based on survey of literature and document analysis. Two models of innovation 4P's of Innovation models by Bessant and Tidd (2011) and Six Dimensional Model of Service Innovation by den Hertog, van der Aa and de Jong (2010) were used in the study. It is observed that Maybank is moving towards sustainable competitive advantage through environmentally and socially responsible business practices. The findings of this paper aim to contribute to the strategic planning of banking institutions by optimizing their resource allocation to ensure sustainable growth
