There are 7 dimensions in TIC, namely learning capability, R&D capability, resource allocation capability, manufacturing capability, marketing capability, organizing capability and strategic planning capability. The analysis method used in this research is the structural equation modeling (SEM) approach using SmartPLS 3.0 software. The data processed is the result of a questionnaire that was answered successfully by 178 SMEs. The analysis results indicate that the marketing capability, R&D capability and strategic planning capability had significant impacts on the new product development performance.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of work discipline on the performance of Ambon State Polytechnic education staff and analyze the effect of work discipline on performance through Total Quality Management (TQM) in Ambon State Polytechnic education staff. Respondents in this study were 100 Ambon State Polytechnic education staff. The analytical model used to determine the effect between variables is a structural model with the Partial Least Square (PLS) approach. The results show that work discipline directly affected the performance of educational staff by 20.6% and the indirect effect of work discipline affected the performance of the education staff through Total Quality Management of 38.7% which means that the practice of TQM is able to provide a considerable influence in improving the performance of educational staff. To improve the performance of educational staff, work discipline should be directed at the TQM process in advance so that the work process is more directed.

The research investigates the role of innovative behavior in mediating the effect of transfor-mational leadership and talent management on the lecturer’s performance of private higher education in Indonesia. Samples of this research are 230 lecturers selected by purposive sam-pling. Data were obtained by spreading questionnaires and analyzing with path analysis using supporting descriptive statistics. The results confirm that transformational leadership and in-novative behavior had significant direct effects on performance, transformational leadership and talent management had significant direct effects on innovative behavior, transformational leadership and talent management had significant indirect effects on performance mediating by innovative behavior, and talent management did not have any significant direct effect on performance. A fit research model has been achieved about the effects of transformational leadership and talent management performance by mediating innovative behavior but requires verification through further research, especially to verify the effect of talent management on performance.

The population of this study is government employees in the city of Makassar, Indonesia, and given the huge number, the sampling technique uses purposive sampling. The amount determined referred to the variance-based (or Partial Least Square) Structural Equation Analysis tool and obtained by 100 local government employees. Primary data collected through a questionnaire is processed with the assistant of Smart PLS. The results show that intelligence, leadership, and HR quality had positive and significant ef-fects on NPM. The direct relationship also indicates the significance of constructs on performance, except intelligence, which directly has no significant impact on the performance of government employees.

This paper examines the relationship between the presence of the foreign chief executive officer (CEO) as a director of a firm and firm performance in Saudi Arabia. Performance is measured in terms of a business’ profitability proxy, return on assets (ROA), and the market performance measure, Tobin’s Q. Herein, we use a sample of non-financial companies that have been listed in Saudi Arabia between 2005 and 2016. The results reveal that firms managed by a local CEO outperform firms helmed by their foreign counterparts. They also support the notion that the success of managing directors in emerging markets requires cultural and intercultural skills.
