Linkage of Management Decision to Shareholder's Value: EVA Concept
No full textIn this paper, the author investigated the influence of management decisions like capital structure, dividend policies, remunerations, credit policy decisions and investment decisions on shareholder wealth maximization. To achieve the objective, portfolio theory, capital asset pricing model and modern financial theory providing evidence on the linkage between management decisions to shareholder’s value. Shareholders are only concerned about the value of shares of the company and the amount of return in the form of dividend paid. Thus in order to meet the demands of the shareholders of the company, managers needs to increase their abilities and skills to overcome the organizational goals. Thus the main goal of this paper is to discuss on the role of management decisions towards increasing shareholder’s wealth and meet organizational goals
Business and entrepreneurship
Get PDFENTREPRENEURSHIP as a course is a required to be taken by undergraduates in public higher education institutions in Malaysia.(Ministry of Higher Education). This is tandem with government's acknowledgement that ENTREPRENEURSHIP is a appealing field of employment to venture on graduation. The graduates with technical skills acquired at the university coupled with precise business knowledge will be successful in their careers. Venturing into business is a promising job which contributes to a good income. The business sector has been in existence'since time immemorial and it was known for its barter trade in which merchandise were exchanged among merchants to consumers. However, today the business system had improved leaps and bound as the use of currency was introduced
An Empirical Investigation on Annual Reporting Practices of Malaysian State Islamic Religious Councils: Issues and Challenges
Get PDFThis paper aims to evaluate the extent and quality of disclosure of annual report and to investigate in-depth explanation on the obtained evaluation. Specifically, semi-structured interviews are conducted to address the reasons/constraints of such disclosure/non-disclosure and for not preparing an annual report. This study found that there are external and internal problems in preparing annual reports; where it was inferred that the internal problems are more serious. The former consists of lack of enforcement and reporting guidelines, whereas the latter includes attitudes of top management, lack of staff, difficulties in preparing annual reports and transformation of SIRC organisations. However, such a lack of enforcement is the main reason for the inconsistency of the annual report disclosure of some SIRC and its total absence from others. This was highlighted by majority of the interviewees. Despite of those problems, most of the SIRC’s accountants claim that they are becoming more active in issuing annual reports. It seems advantageous to address those issues and challenges and SIRC should consider producing a comprehensive annual report for the discharge of their accountability and thus, encourage more funding. They should be more transparent to enhance accessibility, concerning the extent and quality of the disclosure.Consequently, this study was able to make empirical contributions to the literature, and particularly to the practice and knowledge of this type of institutional accounting
The Effects of Perceived Service Quality on Patient Satisfaction at a Public Hospital in State of Pahang, Malaysia
Get PDFThis study focuses on the effects of perceived service quality on patient satisfaction in a public hospital. Data was collected from 109 respondents that experienced the hospital service. Using a PLS-SEM tool, the hypothesized effects among the constructs were tested empirically. No statistically significant relationships were found between perceived service quality construct and (i) the hospital infrastructure constructs and it did not support the hypothesis H1 (beta= 0.000 and t-value= 0.004,ρ > 05.0 ) (ii) interaction with care providers construct and it did not support the hypothesis H2 (beta= -0.045 and t-value= 0.443, ρ > 05.0 ). However, the results indicate that the path coefficients were significant between perceived service quality construct and (iii) patients’ perception of administrative procedure construct and it supported the hypothesis H3 (beta= 0.317, t-value= 3.026, ρ < 01.0 ), (iv) patients‘ perception of medical care construct and it supported the hypothesis H4 (beta=0.182, t-value= 2.150, ρ < 05.0 ) and (v) patients’ perception of nursing care construct and it supported the hypothesis H5 (beta= 0.481, t-value= 5.190, ρ < 01.0). The constructs were considered the key factors that influence the perceived service quality in the current study. The path coefficient from perceived service quality to patient satisfaction was very significant and it supported the hypothesis H6 (beta= 0.816, t-value= 19.460, ρ < 01.0 ). The antecedents of service quality demonstrated considerable power in explaining variance in perceived service quality. The infrastructure, interaction, administrative, medical care, and nursing care constructs explained 69.7% ( 2 R = 0.697) of the variance in perceived service quality and overall the model explained 66.6% ( 2 R =0.666) of the variance in patient satisfaction. Therefore, it can be concluded that the model is suitable in determining the health care service quality

Expedited analytical hierarchical process for multicriteria decision making
No full textIn this study, a procedure to overcome analytical hierarchical process (AHP) limitations was developed and tested, and a tool created via pairwise comparison chart and weighted sum method hybridization was introduced. In addition, a multicriteria decision-making software was selected to validate the constructed hybrid decision-making tool. The software was formulated based on an established decision-making technique. Data for the comparison analysis were obtained from an ongoing research, and output from the comparison analysis provided evidence for the accuracy of the constructed tool. The proposed hybridized method aligned with AHP reasoning but demonstrated a faster process; hence, it was called ‘expedited AHP’
