The relationship of social entrepreneurship orientation and the halal logistics values creation on food and beverage MSME’S in Malaysia
Get PDFThe food and beverage industry, particularly the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), continues to serve as a vital contributor to the overall economic growth of both the local community and the country. However, there is a lack of comprehensive research on MSME entrepreneurs and their impact on the social sector. This study has been conducted to identify factors contributing to social entrepreneurship and improving firm performance. Additionally, the study evaluates the value creation of halal logistics, which includes packaging, warehousing, transportation, and halal management systems. Therefore, the study examines the relationship between the independent variable factors of Social Entrepreneurship Orientation and the dependent variable of Firm Performance. This study also examines the influence of the moderating variables of Halal Logistics Value Creation on the relationship between Social Entrepreneurship Orientation and Firm Performance. This study is conducted using an online questionnaire data collection strategy based on simple random probability sampling. The study involved 248 samples among MSMEs throughout Malaysia. The study found that the relationship between Social Entrepreneurial Orientation, innovativeness, and socialness has a significant positive relationship with Firm Performance. The findings of the study also discovered that the variable factor of halal management system simplification significantly affects the relationship between the variable factor of Social Entrepreneurship Orientation, innovativeness, and socialness with Firm Performance. In addition, the social entrepreneurship orientation variable and the Halal Logistics Values Creation variable have a significant relationship with Firm Performance as unidimensional variables. In conclusion, this study contributes to findings that show the tendency of top management/MSME owners in Malaysia towards Social Entrepreneurship Orientation and Halal Logistics Values Creation
Pengaruh gaya kepimpinan ke atas orientasi keusahawanan dengan prestasi perniagaan usahawan mikro bumiputera di Kedah
Get PDFMicro Enterprenuership is one of the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that is actively growing and has the ability to help the projection of income both to the society and to the country. Moreover, through the Federal Expenditure Budget 2016, the government has put this group into their main consideration via the increasing of the outlay and financing packages. However, there are less research regards to micro enterprenuership which may help the financial sectors to comprehend the needs of helping this group. This research is performed to identify factors of enterprenuership orientation which enable the business performances and the influence of leaderhip styles; transformational and transactional. This includes dependent variables of business performance, independent variables of enterprenuership orientation and the influence of moderating variables. The research has been conducted via mailing process and based on simple random sampling technique. Through this, there were positive significances between business orientation and risk taken by the enterprenuers. In addition, the research has found that, there are influence of moderating variables of transformational leadership styles on the risk factor and business performances. Furthermore, it is also found that, transactional leadership style also significant in affecting the relationship between the variables of entrepreneurial risk-taking to business performance. The execution of this research involved 81 samples of SMEs micro entrepreneurs in the state of Kedah, Malaysia. This study shall provide empirical feedback to the authority which help them to have in-depth understanding of these entrepreneurs in achieving better achievement
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
