An integrated model for international market entry location, entry timing and entry mode (ELETEM) decisions of Malaysian construction firms / Che Maznah Mat Isa
No full textThe strategy in making firms that are entering new foreign markets expand their businesses in terms of services, products, technology, human and other resources has been widely studied. However, a review of the literature suggests that a comprehensive model with existing theories to clearly guide the firms in adopting effective market entry decisions for construction firms is still lacking. Most previous studies have dealt with entry location (EL), entry timing (ET) and entry mode (EM) decisions in an isolated way by considering one dimension or a combination of dimensions in particular. Although there have been various studies relating to international market entry decisions, there is currently no model that attempts to integrate the common factors linked to ELETEM decisions for construction firms. The main aim of this study is to develop an integrated model by determining the mutually inclusive and significant factors (MISFs) that influence the ELETEM decisions. Questionnaires were administered to Malaysian construction firms with 62 managers participating in the survey. The findings on the proposed ELETEM decision model were then validated through interviews with 13 managers holding top managerial positions in the firms. It was found that majority of the firms have penetrated both ASEAN and non- ASEAN countries as late movers, using both equity (EQ) and non-equity (NEQ) modes in their international operations. Logistic regression predictive models for EL, ET and EM decisions were also established. The EL decision model predicts that firms need to acquire more knowledge related to the country factors in order to select suitable locations in both ASEAN and non-ASEAN regions. The ET decision predicts that firms need to acquire more knowledge related to firm, country, market and factors to be late movers. Finally, the EM decision model predicts that firms need to acquire more knowledge related to firm factors to adopt both EQ and NEQ modes. In addition, Rasch Model analysis was adopted to integrate all three entry decision constructs to determine the MISFs for the ELETEM decision model. The findings suggested that the MISFs amongst others were host and home government support, international risks, market potential, firm's tangible and intangible resources, such as financial capacity, strategic orientation, experience, reputation, business network and competency, and project requirements relating to time and contracts. The overall findings led to the emergence of a few critical issues relating to strategic, risk and resource management, and the sustainability of construction firms. Firms must increase efficiency in allocating their tangible and intangible resources, such as financial, experience, business network, and adopt suitable entry strategies in their global operations within any geographical proximity of the targeted potential markets. This study breaks out the silobased thinking by integrating all three domains of EL, ET and EM decisions. It provides a holistic approach to understanding how international construction firms make decisions that cut across all three domains as well as across country, market, firm and project factors and within the context of the well-established OLI+S paradigm. It is envisaged that the integrated ELETEM decision model provides more complete and coherent theoretical and empirical solutions for international market entry strategy to guide construction firms in avoiding poor decision-making, which can lead to failure in their new international ventures. The ELETEM decision model also offers valuable information to provide a comprehensive solution for construction firms already in international markets to make better entry decisions in their future ventures

Selection of high yielding Jatropha curcas L. accessions for elite hybrid seed production
No full textPhenotypic selection of individuals is the first step in a selective breeding program for elite hybrid seed production. In
this study, a total of 295 Jatropha curcas individuals raised from cuttings representing 21 accessions, collected from eight
different countries were evaluated for growth performance. The evaluation was done at the Biodiesel Research Station
of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Kuala Pilah from December 2012 to December 2013. Individual plants from each
accession were observed on several agronomic and yield related traits and all the data were recorded periodically.
Performance of each accession was analyzed using Statistical Analysis System (SAS) 9.4. Four traits which were plant
height (PH), number of flowers per inflorescence (NFI), number of female flowers per inflorescence (NFFPI) and hundred
seed weight (HSW) showed significant differences among the accessions after one year of planting. Maximum values for
each trait were 115.5 cm for PH, 6 for number of branches per plant (BPP), 9 for number of inflorescences per plant
(NIPP), 25 for number of fruits per plant (NFPP), 5 for number of fruits per inflorescence (NFPI), 191 for NFI, 10 for
NFFPI, 81.0 g for HSW and 70 for number of seeds per plant (NSPP). Accession number 1 from Thailand showed the best
performance for most traits. A highly significant and positive correlation was found between NFPP and NSPP. Based on
superior trait values for NIPP, NFPP, NFPI, NFI, NFFPI and HSW, five plants from accession UKMJC 01, 04, 05, 13 and 14
have been selected for generating elite intraspecific hybrids
Modern Arabic literary biography : a study of character portrayal in the works of Egyptian biographers of the first half of the twentieth century, with special reference to literary biography
No full textIn Chapter one, I presented a comparative definition of the meaning of Sirah (PI.Siyar), Tarjamah (Pl. Tarajim), Manaqib, Tabaqat and Maghazi as they were understood in antiquity. I also showed how the meaning of Sirah in modern times has only narrowly developed. Although the method of biographical writing continuously developed in Europe, it hardly progressed in Modem Arabic Literature. The only exception was seen in the writings by the pioneers of enlightenment in Egypt at the beginning of the twentieth century. This change of direction relied on borrowing European methodology in biographical writing.
In chapter two, I reviewed the early attempts at writing biographies in the nineteenth century by Abd al Rahman al- Jabarti and Ali Mubarak. Although both were the first
pioneers in this respect, yet they followed the footpath of classical approach above all that of al-Maqarizi from whom -Ali Mubarak derived inspiration in his book Al-Khitat al-Tawfiqiyyah.
In chapter three, I studied the twentieth century, starting with traditional biography writers who could not employ European methodologies and whose writings oscillated between biographical notes and biographical sketches; or whose texts were more of a literary study than a biography proper.
In chapters four to nine, I selected the most renowned, productive writers who best represented methodologies of biography writing. Perhaps certain writers have not
been mentioned in this period of study. This is not out of negligence but simply because their texts were totally out of reach, or their writings did not exhibit the
required literary criteria.
All methodologies representing the theory of biography writing in Egypt have been analysed in these chapters. All, in fact, form a digestion or assimilation of French,English and German schools. In Egypt, Taha Husayn is considered the chairman of the French school, al-Mazini and al-Aqqad of the English/German schools, al-Nuwaihi of the psychoanalytical/anatomical school and Sidqi who employed both. By contrast, al Iryan was the trailblazer of the distinguished biographical novel.
In these chapters, I tried to lay out the general outlines these writers have produced in the production of biographical texts, and how these attempts were a successful step on the road of presenting literary biographies characterized by high world standards.
Chapter ten may well seem traditional, but it is important to give a comparative outlook on the views of biography writers themselves when they study and analyse
the same character.
Among the characters studied ,I selected Bashsliar, Abu Nuwas, Ibn al-Run-i, al-Mutanabbi and al-Maarri. These are outstanding landmarks in the history of Arab verse and the subject of a multitude of studies as well. Modern biographers took these figures as a test field for the deployment and employment of biographical methodologies. I selected these examples to provide comparisons and explain how far these biographies were successful in producing a biography or a profile of those classical poets.
The conclusion and the bibliographical list arrived at the end of research.
I wish, however, to clarify one important point here. It seems that I could not fix the year 1950 as the temporal parameter of my research but took some textswhich were
published shortly beyond that point. The reason for this obvious extension was either to give additional useful details or simply because chapters of such texts had already
been published prior to that year and were known to the readership.
At times I would satisfy myself with analysing the part rather than the whole. This again was meant to eschew repetition or was due to the fact that the book in question
was not available
