Profit Redistribution in Family-controlled, Group-affiliated Publicly-listed Corporations in Malaysia

Ng,Sin Huei, Shrives, Philip, Yeoh, Ken Kyid. 2013

 

This paper attempts to examine the potential occurrence of profit redistribution in family-controlled

business groups in Malaysia. It is argued that there exists a tendency for business groups with

extensive family ownership and control to redistribute resources from group affiliates that

outperformed to affiliates that underperformed. This phenomenon is prevalent particularly in large

business groups where the link between business groups and politics is most clearly displayed. Such

‘propping up’ activities are believed to adversely affect the shareholders of the outperforming affiliates

as the performance of these affiliates diminishes due to the profit redistribution. They also result in

inefficient allocation of resources within the business group, though it is found that higher board

independence may reduce such inefficiency.

Examining the entrepreneurial attitudes of Malaysian secondary school students

Lope Pihie, Z.A., Bagheri, A., Abdullah Sani, Z.H. (2009)

 

Abstract: Attitude as one of the most influential factors affecting entrepreneurial learning and behaviour has been under investigation to recognize how it can be improved through educational interventions. A study was conducted to determine the entrepreneurial attitude of 3,000 secondary school students in Malaysia. Findings indicate that students scored high on self-esteem cognition, achievement cognition, and achievement affect, but students had low mean scores in self-esteem behaviour, personal control affect and self-esteem affect. Moreover, there is no significant difference between the students’ ethnic groups in terms of their self-esteem behaviour. This paper discusses that entrepreneurial attitude can be developed through proper learning exposure and entrepreneurship education opportunities. It also presents the implications of the study to improve the Malaysian education system and entrepreneurial attitude of students during the critical years of secondary school

Learning style of university students: Implications for improving entrepreneurial learning paradigm,

Pihie, Z.A.L., Bagheri, A., Sani, Z.H.A. (2009)

 

Abstract: Learning is considered central in the process of entrepreneurial development. Learning styles play an important role in learning entrepreneurship at university. The main purpose of this study was to determine the university students’ learning styles as a whole and in particular, the preferred learning styles of the students who had taken entrepreneurship related courses. A total of 1,554 university students from three research universities in Malaysia were selected as respondents of the study. The findings showed that university students preferred active, sensing, visual and sequential learning styles compared to reflective, intuitive, verbal, and global learning styles. The findings may guide policy makers, educators and lecturers at universities to understand how students learn and thus, provide facilities and instructional activities to foster entrepreneurial learning. This paper also presents suggestions towards improving entrepreneurial learning paradigm.

Factors affecting the adoption level of c-commerce: An empirical study

Chong, A.Y.-L., Lin, B., Ooi, K.-B., Raman, M. (2009)

 

Abstract: The major objective of this paper is to examine the determinants of collaborative commerce (c-commerce) adoption with special emphasis on Electrical and Electronic organizations in Malaysia. Original research using a self-administered questionnaire was distributed to 400 Malaysian organizations. Out of the 400 questionnaires posted, 109 usable questionnaires were returned, yielding a response rate of 27.25%. Data were analysed by using correlation and multiple regression analysis. External environment, organization readiness and information sharing culture were found to be significant in affecting organizations decision to adopt c-commerce. Information sharing culture factor was found to have the strongest influence on the adoption of c-commerce, followed by organization readiness and external environment. Contrary to other technology adoption studies, this research found that innovation attributes have no significant influence on the adoption of c-commerce. In terms of theoretical contributions, this study has extended previous researches conducted in western countries and provides great potential by advancing the understanding between the association of adoption factors and c-commerce adoption level. This research show that adoption studies could move beyond studying the factors based on traditional adoption models. Organizations planning to adopt c-commerce would also be able to applied strategies based on the findings from this research.

Factors affecting the adoption of e-commerce: A study of the textile industry in Wujin, China

Chong, A.Y.L., Ooi, K.B., Tak, Y.K., ShuYang, Z. (2009)

 

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to examine the factors that influence the adoption of e-commerce with emphasis on textile companies in WuJin, China. The factors are organizational readiness, innovation characteristics, government influence and culture. Binary logistic regression was applied to test the research model. The result shows that organizational readiness, innovation characteristics and culture influence the adoption of e-commerce among textile companies in WuJin. As China's culture is different from many western countries, it is found that relationships between organizations, or GuanXi as it is commonly known in China, needs to be established before organizations collaborating with each other are willing to adopt e-commerce. The findings of this study are useful for the Malaysian companies who are interested to adopt e-commerce with their business partners in China.

TQM, knowledge management and collaborative commerce adoption: A literature review and research framework

Chong, A.Y.-L., Ooi, K.-B., Lin, B., Teh, P.-L. (2010)

 

Abstract: This article discusses the influence of total quality management (TQM) and knowledge management (KM) on collaborative commerce (c-commerce) adoption. An extensive review of literature was carried out to develop an integrated model of TQM and KM to examine the influence of TQM and KM on c-commerce adoption. The findings provide a basis for developing a model to advance the TQM, KM and innovation adoption research literature. This study proposes a new integrated model which includes practices from both TQM and KM theories to examine if these practices will result in an improvement in the adoption of c-commerce. Organisations intending to adopt or increase the level of adoption of c-commerce will be able to make managerial decisions based on TQM and KM practices from this research. The study makes a significant contribution by combining TQM and KM models as a methodological example which is useful for practitioners to track the degree of TQM and KM effects on c-commerce adoption. This model can be used by companies to do a pre-test baseline measurement, and then periodically reassess the effects of any TQM and KM change.

A structural analysis of the relationship between TQM practices and product innovation

Lee, V.-H., Ooi, K.-B., Tan, B.-I., Chong, A.Y.-L. (2010)

 

Abstract:  The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between total quality management (TQM) practices and product innovation performance as perceived by managers in electrical and electronics (E&E) organizations in Malaysia. This study is based on empirical data collected from a survey of 125 managers of E&E firms. Structural equation modeling analysis is conducted to test the research questions presented in this paper. Results reveal that leadership, strategic planning, customer focus, information and analysis, human resource management, and process management are positively associated with product innovation performance. Information and analysis is perceived as a dominant TQM practice in improving firm's performance on product innovation. This analysis is especially vital for senior managers of E&E companies who want to establish innovation capability. Senior managers can focus their efforts on TQM practices as means of maximizing organizational gains via product innovation in the context of a competitive environment.
