Authors: Syed, Obed Rashdi; Omar, Rosmini; Rasool, Shahid Abstract: Business schools and industry collaboration helps the business schools to produce relevant research, resolve industrial issues, and enhance knowledge and skills of students of management education programmes. However, questions have been raised regarding weak ties of business schools with the industry, which then questions about the quality of management graduates and research outcomes. Many theorists have thoroughly studied university-industry collaboration for over two decades. Similar theoretical studies in the context of business schools need to be explored. Previous studies on business school and industry collaboration are mainly conducted in Western and developed nations, and the implications are irrelevant to Asian business schools. This study uses qualitative interviews to explore the motivations for collaborations. Three business schools in Malaysia are selected, and research participants include deans, faculty members, administrators, and industry partners of the selected business schools. Findings highlight four primary motivations of the schools to foster collaborations, namely relevance, sustainability, networking, and exposing students of management education. The industry partners are mainly interested in grant projects, management education for their employees, and they show little intention to support the schools in enhancing the relevance. The weak ties with industry are instigated by the business schools. Thus, the study provides recommendations for business school leaders, policymakers, and faculty members. 2024-09-01T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/12454 Title: FDI-ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY NEXUS: SOUTHEAST ASIAN TIGER CUB ECONOMIES Authors: Wei, Yong Sze; Hui, Jerome Kueh Swee Abstract: Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is a crucial catalyst for economic growth in countries, especially in the Southeast Asian Tiger Cub economies, including Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. Nonetheless, the impact of foreign direct investment on environmental quality may differ by region. This study aims to investigate the impact of the FDI on carbon dioxide emission among Tiger Cub economies. Panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) and quadratic estimation methods are adopted in the study to estimate the relationship between FDI and carbon dioxide emission from 1995 to 2022, in view of linearity and non-linearity aspects. Empirical findings indicate that there is a negative relationship between FDI and carbon dioxide emission in the long run under the linearity model and supported the Pollution Halo Hypothesis (PHH). Furthermore, the nonlinearity results show that existence on inverted U-Shaped relationship between FDI and carbon dioxide emission. There is a positive impact of FDI on carbon dioxide emission when FDI is below the threshold level, while there is a negative impact of FDI on carbon dioxide emission when FDI is above the threshold level. The government should encourage green investment by offering business incentives or carbon credits, with a focus on high-value sectors such as advanced manufacturing, technology, renewable energy and research and development, as well as promoting technology transfer and innovation to attract foreign direct investment and stimulate economic growth, all while reducing environmental degradation. 2024-09-01T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/12453 Title: EXPLORING SUSTAINABLE LEADERSHIP: TRENDS AND INSIGHTS FROM A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS IN BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT Authors: Jusoh, Ahmad; Abbas, Alhamzah F.; Latif, Hamrila A. Abstract: This study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of sustainable leadership using 645 documents from the Scopus database, analyzed with VOSviewer software. It examines publication trends, keyword trends, co-citations, co-authorship, and contributions by countries and institutions. The findings highlight the rapid growth of literature in this field, with the United States leading in research output. The analysis shows that sustainable leadership positively impacts organizational performance, including financial outcomes and employee engagement, while cultural factors influence leadership practices across regions. Ethical and transformational leadership are critical in promoting sustainability, especially in supply chain management and innovation within emerging industries. This study identifies key research gaps and offers opportunities for future exploration in sustainable leadership. 2024-09-01T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/12452 Title: THE MULTIDIMENSIONAL POVERTY CHARACTERISTICS OF THE POOR AND DESTITUTE ASNAF IN KUALA LUMPUR Authors: Zailani, Muhammad Nooraiman; Satar, Nurul Huda Mohd; Zakaria, Roza Hazli; Rasiah, Rajah Abstract: From an adapted method originally developed as the Multidimensional Poverty Index by Alkire and Foster, this paper examined the multidimensional poverty characteristics of the poor and destitute asnaf in Kuala Lumpur with a sample of 380 poor and destitute asnaf households. The survey was conducted from March 2022 until January 2023, still very much affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings of the study reveal significant dimensions of deprivation experienced by the poor and destitute asnaf in Kuala Lumpur, which were not sufficiently captured by previous assessments. In addition to the headcount and intensity of the poverty experienced, the study captures the dimensions and indicators that contribute to the poverty scenario of the poor and destitute asnaf in Kuala Lumpur. Consequently, zakat institutions are recommended to integrate non-monetary poverty indicators into their assessments to obtain a rigorous framework to address poverty-related issues and the factors that affect the well-being of the poor and destitute asnaf households in Malaysia. The results bring wide ramifications for casting the poverty net more exhaustively than before but also for identifying the indicators that the poor and destitute are most vulnerable to. In light of the findings, it is critical that future programmes that are designed address the non-pecuniary dimensions of poverty so that zakat resources are allocated effectively. 2024-09-01T00:00:00Z
