Abstract: Entrepreneurs who are operating small businesses focus on faster growth of their firms through greater wealth creation. This wealth creation process requires skill and investment in terms of time and capital. However, the success or failure of entrepreneurial teams depends on personality differences among the entrepreneurs. In this context, the present study explores the impact of the Big 5 model traits on the team entrepreneurship and the performance of the ventures among the small businesses in the UAE. Further, the study encapsulates how these personality traits can help in solving business problems and achieving long term success for the business. In this regard, the researcher conducted a survey on 49 employees working in 5 entrepreneurial businesses in UAE. The findings of the study highlighted that sub-factors of big five leadership traits broad-minded, gregarious, assertive, responsible, anxious and emotionally depressed, significantly impact the team entrepreneurship of small businesses in the UAE, aiding in increased customer base, venture skills, stock values, and innovating of new products.

Abstract: The relationship between perceived values; customer satisfaction and customer repurchase intention of organizations toward tour choice in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) was defined in this study. In addition, this study also identified the impacts of the five independent variables of tangibles, assurance, empathy, reliability and responsiveness and the intervening variables of perceived value and customer satisfaction on repurchase inten-tion. Quantitative research was conducted by questionnaire with 300 middle and small organizations in HCMC, with variety of statistical techniques; including factor analysis, multiple regression analyses and path analysis to find the relationship between independent and dependent variables. Based on the results, the study suggests the fact that a higher perceived value would lead to a higher customer satisfaction. When consumers feel satisfied with services, they feel the choice was correct, which increases the customer’s confidence and intention to repurchase the service in future.

Abstract: According to the survey results of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), currently, 131/143 countries (accounting for 93%) have had official statements on the application of IFRS with different forms. Among countries which have not permitted IFRS application, there is also a tendency to adjust the national accounting standards system to match up to IFRS. Vietnam is preparing a roadmap for the application of IFRS in 2022. This paper conducts a study with 23 in-depth interviews and survey with 92 experts who are university lecturers, researchers from research institutes, experts in the fields of securities, banking, finance in order to collect some ideas on the roadmap, subjects and scope of IFRS application; assess the benefits and challenges when applying IFRS; then give the implications of IFRS application process in Vietnam. The ideas are consistent with the opinion that preparing IFRS financial statements will improve the transparency of financial statements. However, experts think that the biggest challenge when adopting IFRS is associated with high expenses. Therefore, most opinions suggest that businesses need 3 to 5 years to prepare human resources and other necessary conditions for IFRS application. In addition, in the first period, there is a need to apply IFRS to listed companies, public companies, foreign-invested enterprises, encourage large companies to apply voluntarily. Besides, the study suggests some implications about the implementation process for organizations, individuals and the government.

Abstract: University educational system plays an important role for the development of any country. Most industries normally rely on highly educated people with different skills and the universities are also responsible for training leading edge technology skills. During the past few years, there have been tremendous efforts to empower Vietnamese universities and to put more efforts to increase their ranking internationally. The purpose of this study is to determine the appropriate leadership style on higher education institutions and the role of the leader in promoting academic research at Vietnamese universities. Excellent and effective leadership is needed to develop employees as a sustainable competitive advantage. The leaders of organizations normally have difficulty in speeding up the performance of their followers. Individual performance is studied and evaluated in both scholarly and practical literature. Employee engagement is not only a moderator concept established in organizational theory, but it also offers a variety of views and theories. This paper designs a questionnaire and distributes it among 232 students to measure the effect of transformational leadership in higher educational organizations. Regression analysis is used to measure the effects of different components of transformational leadership on the performance of organizations. The survey results indicate that the Transformational leadership could actually be effective when they are allowed autonomy in organizations, especially on the budget. In summary, the results of the investigation clarify the role and importance of transformational leadership in organizations.

Abstract: The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effects of personal attitude toward entrepreneurship, self-efficacy (individual characteristics) and social capital, country norms (environmental characteristics) on entrepreneurial intention among students at universities and colleges in Vietnam. By collecting data from 210 students in Vietnam, authors employ the quantitative approach such as certain descriptive statistics, explorative factor analysis (EFA), KMO and Bartlett test, correlation coefficient analysis, ANOVA test and multiple regression analysis to test hypothesizes. The study investigates the relationship between entrepreneurial attitude, self-efficacy, social capital, country norms and entrepreneurial intention. The result of this research indi-cates that a large proportion of students only study and only a small percentage of them study and run their own business. In terms of willingness to take the risks, the highest figure belongs to the neutral level. In addition, the correlation coefficient and multiple regressions analysis indicate that all four factors were positively associated with entrepreneurial intention. Specially, country norms are seen as the most influential factors on entrepreneurial intention, followed by social capital, personal attitude, and self-efficacy, respectively.

Abstract: The primary objective of this study is associated with the management of educational system in schools using Three Law Auguste Comte at Pesantren Tebuireng Jombang, East Java, Indonesia. Since June 2006 the Tebuireng Islamic Boarding School has been providing the Islamic education. However, in these schools, the students coming from other schools do not have Islamic education and face difficulty while taking courses. Additionally, the students of Tebuireng Islamic Boarding Schools are not familiar with traditional education, such as science-based subjects; mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and management. Therefore, man-agement of educational system is required in Tebuireng Islamic Boarding Schools. For this purpose, data were collected from the teachers of these schools by using a questionnaire survey. Partial Least Square (PLS)-Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data. Findings of the study revealed that all levels of education in Islamic schools (Pesantren) should provide science-based subjects rational, among others: mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology, management, etc. Moreover, there should be a balance between Islamic education and science-based education.

Abstract: The article presents a methodological tool for analysis and evaluation of business processes of Ukrainian en-terprises. The proposed methodology is provided for the identification of “problem” areas of certain business processes by calculating average weighted, integral and generic indicators of efficiency and effectiveness. It allows to evaluate the status of both certain business processes of enterprises and their totality, and to set the priorities of management actions for their improvements. The proposed methodology is examined on the example of a specific enterprise of the construction industry. In the framework of the proposed criteria (financial-economic, resource-production, external integration, organizational), a list of indicators, taking into account the specifics of the enterprise are formed. Assessment of the efficiency and effectiveness of business processes by the specified criteria and indicators allows one to monitor the current activity of the enterprise and evaluate the effectiveness of its operations at every moment of time.

Abstract: Banks in Jordan are facing a crisis related to their employees, where it has recently become clear that employees are leaving their jobs in increasing numbers. Thus, this study examined the impact of the human resources management (HRM) practices (compensation, performance appraisal, promotion, and training & development) on employee’s turnover intention and the mediating role of career satisfaction. The survey questionnaire was gathered from 394 employees located in 25 banks in Jordan. The study used PLS-SEM to get the results and examine the hypotheses. The findings indicate that HRM practices (compensation, performance appraisal, promotion, and training & development) negatively impact employees’ turnover intention, and career satisfaction partially mediated the relationship between HRM practices (compensation, performance appraisal, promotion, and training & development) and employee’s turnover intention. The study recommends that banks in Jordan provide a high compensation, fair performance appraisal, fast promotion systems, sufficient training & development program and high level of career satisfaction to maintain the human element and reduce the employees’ turnover intention. Future studies may include other practices such as employee empowerment, teamwork, employment security information sharing, and job description.

Abstract: Presently, different kinds of sampling methods are used to collect consumer data for research in the coffee business, depending on topic, goal and budget. However, what survey method is capable of generating data that does represent the entire population is questionable. By comparing these surveys – one online, one face to face interviews and the other telephone surveys – this study aims to determine the differences between these sampling methods and determine the most effective methods in coffee consumer. Face-to-face surveys with 130 respondents and a telephone survey with 130 respondents are compared with telephone surveys with 130 sampling using identical questions when the total of respondents is 500 and 390 are valid. With regard to consumer behavioral characteristics, telephone data yielded the best results, followed by online quota survey and finally face to face interviews. Telephone surveys can be a good sampling method so the authors recommend using it for a larger sample.

Abstract: Companies seek to adopt competitive strategies that achieve sustainability standards, not only in achieving economic success but also in serving society and preserving the environment at the same time. Pharmaceutical companies and their supply chains are facing increasing pressure to preserve the environment because of the problems caused by medical waste, and it is necessary to show their role through their strategies in preserving the environment and serving society as well. This study aims to investigate the relationship between sustainable supply chain strategies and supply chain collaboration and its effect on competitive priorities. The study investigates whether Jordanian Pharmaceutical companies incorporate the sustainability strategy into supply chain strategy, and whether that may impact its competitive priorities. The study population consists of (23) Jordanian Pharmaceutical companies. A structured questionnaire is designed and distributed among top managers in the surveyed companies. A Structural Equation Modeling technique is used to analysis the data and provide the results. Analysis proves the relationship between sustainable supply chain strategies and supply chain collaboration, where companies are interested in attaining some achievements in the area of social and environmental to gain some collaborative strategies with their partners in the supply chain. The study suggests that organizations may adopt the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) framework to evaluate their performance in a broader perspective and extend the collaboration with suppliers and customers through information sharing along the supply chain partners.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to examine the role of entrepreneurial marketing as a mediating variable in the relationship between environmental turbulence and dynamic capability with sustainable competitive advantage. This study involved 130 craft industries in Malang Regency, Malang City, and Batu City, East Java, Indonesia. Application of loading factor followed by SEM-PLS developed a model showing how environmental turbulence and dynamic capability influence on entrepreneurial marketing which consequently leads to differentiation and performance improvement which are the established indicators of sustainable competitive advantage for the firms. The model was empirically validated using model fit indices and was found satisfacto-ry. The findings show that environmental turbulence did not have any significant relationship with a sustaina-ble competitive advantage. Dynamic capability had a significant relationship with a sustainable competitive advantage. Entrepreneurial Marketing mediates the relationship between environmental dynamic capabilities with sustainable competitive advantage. The analysis shows that highly dynamic capability and entrepreneurial marketing tends to highly sustainable competitive advantage. It indicated that dynamic capability and entrepreneurial marketing offer systematic model for supporting Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to build a well-maintained environment and sustainable competitive advantage.
