Top Management Commitment

This paper puts forward several principles that the authors believe are essential for quality education in Canadian colleges. The relationship between establishing communities of practice, creating knowledge repositories, encouraging top management commitment to knowledge sharing and establishing a comprehensive reward system are examined in relation to innovation in education. Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) #4 of the UN postulates quality education among its top initiatives.The question that arises is how do we ensure that SDG #4 is implemented in higher education institutions? Accordingly, data was collected through observation of faculty and staff from the 2017 Ontario Colleges strike. Although a strong corporate culture exists in Ontario colleges, the system continues to struggle with explicit top management principles that support knowledge sharing across different disciplines. Inter and intra departmental forums including students are non-existent. Knowledge repositories, that staff, faculty and students can tap into are lacking. A greater conversation with stakeholders is imperative to weave all the threads of organizational behavior practices together to nurture future global citizens. Only then can we achieve sustainable quality education.

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between pay and benefits, work environment, top management leadership, workload and job satisfaction among academic staffs in a private academic institution in Malaysia. Motivation-Hygiene Theory, Maslow’s Needs Hierarchy theory and Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) theory were used to establish the theoretical framework of this study. Questionnaire survey method was employed to collect data which yielded 82 responses in this study. Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) was used to perform data analysis throughout the study. All study variables were found to have significant positive relationships with job satisfaction among academic staffs in the selected institution. Top management leadership was discovered to have the most significant relationship with job satisfaction. The findings of this research provide a clear message to the top management that leadership plays an important role in enhancing job satisfaction of the academic staffs. Hence, it is suggested that the institution management should adopt appropriate leadership style and establish effective strategies and policies that aim to increase job satisfaction and performance of the academic staffs.

Valuation of the value and structure of capital using the discounted cash flow (DNT) method is one of the safer and more valid methods used by the valuation team to evaluate the value of the capital. It essentially involves the application of capital appreciation through a yield method of calculation. The data obtained by applying this method are confidently presented in the results of the assessment team, which are submitted to the top management of the company. The aim of this paper is to show the advantages of applying the method of estimating the value of the capital of the company, because in comparison with other methods of valuation, this method is viewed as a unique entity for profit making. The authors conclude that the use of DNT reveals a link between the achieved business results of the enterprise as measured by the size of the profit and the expression of the enterprise value. The contribution of the study's authors is that they have discovered a link between the value of a business and its ability to fertilize borrowed capital and make a profit.

AbstractIn management studies, systems theory is an underexplored construct consistent with the dynamic capabilities framework. The systems approach received attention from management scholars in the middle of the last century, but, since then, has been largely abandoned. Meanwhile, academic disciplines have continued to narrow their focus. The capabilities and systems frameworks both adopt a holistic view that calls for all elements of an organization to be in alignment, and both recognize the importance of some form of learning for the purpose of adaptation. Dynamic capabilities go further by recognizing that organizations not only adapt to the business environment, they often try to shape it, too. While systems theory emphasizes internal stability over time and homogeneity across similar systems, dynamic capabilities include an explicit role for management/leadership that allows systemic change to start from within, which is the source of heterogeneity across firms. Dynamic capabilities are part of a system that includes resources and strategy. Together they determine the degree of competitive advantage an individual enterprise can gain over its rivals.

Professional Pride

Enterprises do not give much importance to creating knowledge management systems pertaining to their organization. Most of the top management in organizations are under the impression that these systems will be misused by their employees. Some of the organizations fear that there is every likelihood that their employees, after updating their knowledge of their system, may leave their organization to better their prospects. It would be better if the top management in the organization were open and transparent for creating knowledge management systems. This approach will help employees to make use of the knowledge management systems. By making use of these systems, employees will be able to create knowledge harvesting systems. Knowledge harvesting systems will facilitate them to create an open innovation environment. Involvement of employees in an open innovation environment makes them take professional pride and feel they are the backbone of their organization. This chapter explains the benefits from knowledge harvesting systems in the context of open innovation initiative ventures. Case illustrations in this chapter stress the importance of knowledge harvesting systems in the open innovation environment in organizations.

Knowledge has been recognized as a valuable resource for organizational activities. As businesses are entering the world of Web 2.0, knowledge sharing is widely regarded as a critical issue in the area of organizational knowledge management (KM). Recently, organizations have started adopting blog-based knowledge management systems (KMS) with encouraging results. Used as a tool for sharing organizational knowledge, blogging can aggregate the intellectual power of individual members, serve as innovative KMS, and lead to the creation of a trust-based corporate culture. However, despite the increasing adoption of blogs by organizations, a theoretical framework for understanding a blog-based KMS has not been developed. This chapter attempts to present a framework for understanding a blog-based KMS in an organizational setting, grounded in a socio-psychological approach and the application of social identity and symbolic interaction theories.
