Like business enterprises, mosques and other nonprofit organizations also need to have a vital source of competitive advantage to increase their worshippers' uniqueness and attractiveness. If it can be adequately managed, imam masjid can be one of the uniqueness and continuing excellence for the mosque. One of the best practices in managing mosque’ imams as a competitive advantage is Masjid Raya Hubbul Wathan Islamic Center in West Nusa Tenggara. This research examines differentiation strategies in managing imams at Masjid Raya Hubbul Wathan Islamic Center in West Nusa Tenggara and how imams in the mosque can be a source of sustainable excellence and not only temporary. This research was conducted using qualitative methods with a case study approach. The collected data is analyzed descriptively based on the theory of competitive advantage, differentiation, and the VRIO framework. Among the critical findings in this study is the differentiation strategy in the management of imams at Masjid Raya Hubbul Wathan Islamic Center in West Nusa Tenggara carried out by: (1) the existence of a measurable and selective imam recruitment process; (2) the availability of competent priests with extensive and varied numbers; (3) involvement of international priests; and (4) the existence of a system of appreciation, improvement, empowerment of good mosque imams.

Using an interpretive case study approach, this paper describes the data quality problems in two companies: (1) a global wholesale technology distributor, referred to as (GWTD), and (2) a global exporter of hardwoods (GEH). These two interpretive cases examine the outbound transportation system of these two companies. Specifically, the issues examined are GWTD’s freight bill audit and payment process and GEH’s transportation coordination system. A data and information quality (DIQ) assessment of the freight bill audit and payment process, using a framework referred to as PGOT, demonstrates how the framework can identify improvement opportunities within any information intensive environment. Data quality problems within key processes were identified during the assessment, and their implications are described. This paper provides recommendations for DIQ best practices, and illustrates these best practices within this real world context of outbound transportation.

The article builds on the growing importance of knowledge as a strategic resource for maintaining the competitive advantage of a business. We illustrate one of the initiatives contributing to effective knowledge transfer by describing a case study approach which suggests how universities might assist in disseminating knowledge and enhancing industry competitiveness.The case study approach is apparently an effective way to share best practices, and with the use of appropriate ICT tools, it provides for an enormous diffusion of codified (explicit) knowledge in the industry.The example in the focus of this article describes aVirtual Portal designed as a single-point access to information and tools (case studies, decision models and software), with the emphasis on case studies (their selection, coding and use).

Critical Literature

Narrative advertising has emerged as a popular advertising practice to communicate an authentic and engaging brand story. New media platforms such as YouTube and video advertising have allowed advertisers and marketers to tell longer brand stories. Scholars have attempted to explain the effectiveness of narrative advertising and storytelling execution through narrative transportation or self-referencing perspective. This chapter employs a combination of critical literature review and a case study approach. This book chapter provides an assessment of current practices and theoretical explorations in narrative advertising. The authors conclude this chapter by providing two best practices in narrative advertising to explain this popular advertising practice and explore its implications for the advertising and marketing communications industry.

Migration Research

An ethnographic case study approach to understanding women’s actions and reactions to husbands’ emigration—or potential emigration—offers a distinct set of challenges to a U.S.-based researcher.  International migration research in a foreign context likely offers challenges in language, culture, lifestyle, as well as potential gender norm impediments. A mixed methods approach contributed to successfully overcoming barriers through an array of research methods, strategies, and tactics, as well as practicing flexibility in data gathering methods. Even this researcher’s influence on the research was minimized and alleviated, to a degree, through ascertaining common ground with many of the women. Research with the women of San Juan Guelavía, Oaxaca, Mexico offered numerous and constant challenges, each overcome with ensuing rewards.
