The chapter provides an overview of how policy analysis takes place in Mexican Think Tanks. It focuses on two of the few organisations of this kind that currently exist in the country: the Centro de Investigación para el Desarrollo (CIDAC, or Centre for Research for Development) and the Centro de Estudios Espinosa Yglesias (CEEY, or Centre of Studies Espinosa Yglesias). The chapter is divided into four sections. The first discusses the main features of think tanks, with a particular focus on the Mexican ones. The second presents the origins and general objectives of CIDAC and CEEY, and describes how these two organizations conduct policy analysis. The third compares both cases, paying particular attention to how they define their topics of interest, how they gather relevant information, what kind of policy products they generate, what kind of communication channels they use, and how they assess the impact that their analyses may have had. The chapter closes with some conclusions and general remarks about the future challenges of policy analysis in Mexican think tanks.

The study aims at identifing the concept of strategic vision of the authorities in Zarqa University, identifing the most important elements, and proposing the appropriate mechanisms to meet the future challenges facing the university leader as a result of competition and how to maintain the teaching and non-teaching staff within the institution to enhance loyalty of the 'internal client ' in the future. Strategic vision variables were used; future status was determined, goals achieved by the vision were achieved, university culture was selected, and the appropriate strategy was chosen as independent variables affecting a dependent variable that is is the internal client relations management. The researchers collected the initial data of the study by means of a special questionnaire. The sample consists of (115) out of 300 faculty members at Zarqa University of various qualifications, ranks and experience.The results of the analysis show that there is a strong and significant effect on all elements of the strategic vision on internal client relationship management, and demographic variables (gender, age group, job title and years of experience) contributed intrinsically to the response of the sample regarding the adoption of the strategic vision factors in managing the internal client relations.Based on the findings of the study, the researchers proposed a number of recommendations to the administration of the university, focusing on spreading and supporting positive culture among faculty members, setting specific and clear objectives for the future to all university employees, along with constructing lucid future strategic directions, and updating the vision and mission of the institution. It is also recommended to comprehensively expand the study of the impact of strategic and other organizational factors; and programs and plans of management development on improving the management of relationships with the internal client of the University.

Humans besides losing lives have faced a monstrous situation of losing jobs. With all this when the employees were in a state of work from home, there was an important role played by cloud computing. Its applications played their part in making people achieve their tasks. In this situation, cloud computing has held one side of the rope when employees were in the condition to work remotely. The smart working apps have proved their amazing performances. Its applications had their influence in causing individuals to accomplish their assignments. The truly great individual in the COVID-19 pandemic emergency is the cloud computing environment (CCE). It comprises the high-speed rehearses for administrations that mirror the pattern of quickly deployable applications for keeping up with information. In any case, there is an increment in its utilization, and the exploration shows there is a test to see the performance of CC applications accessibility in regards to the security, data, and everything worried about it. The focal point of this paper is to talk about the difficulties that the Coronavirus has welcomed on cloud computing and what will be the future and further difficulties it.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to benchmark the progress of integrated marketing communication (IMC) education, by replicating and extending a study on IMC education by Kerr (2009). It documents progress, examines the impact of digital disruption and concludes with an agenda for change. Design/methodology/approach Using the Delphi technique, this study recruited leading IMC educators and thought leaders internationally to find consensus on an important range of IMC issues, including its place within the university, the IMC brand, curriculum, impact on practice, the incorporation of digital and future challenges. Findings IMC has strengthened its place within the university and also within the minds and understanding of academics, students and industry. Digital disruption provides many challenges including updating curriculum and up skilling staff. It is vital, however, that IMC thinking be positioned as the integrator and digital as the facilitator, providing platforms to actualise IMC strategy such as content, customer service and cross-functional planning. Practical implications This study shows what IMC education has achieved since Kerr’s (2009) study. Further, it outlines what needs to be achieved in the future by providing a “To do” list for IMC educators. Originality/value It is vital that the development and progress of this important new area of study is tracked to ensure industry challenges are met, such as digital disruption, and the right education for IMC managers of the future is provided.

The purpose of this article is to provide the basic model of Hofstede and Grays’ cultural values that relates the Hofstede’s cultural dimensions and Gray‘s accounting value. This article reviews some studies that prove the model and develop the research in the future. There are some evidences that link the Hofstede’s cultural values studies with the auditor’s judgment and decisions by developing a framework that categorizes the auditor’s judgments and decisions are most likely influenced by cross-cultural differences. The categories include risk assessment, risk decisions and ethical judgments. Understanding the impact of cultural factors on the practice of accounting and financial disclosure is important to achieve the harmonization of international accounting. Deep understanding about how the local values may affect the accounting practices and their impacts on the financial disclosure are important to ensure the international comparability of financial reporting. Gray’s framework (1988) expects how the culture may affect accounting practices at the national level. One area of the future studies will examine the impact of cultural dimensions to the values of accounting, auditing and decision making. Key word : Motivation, leadership style, job satisfaction, performance
