The Impact

This chapter examines the ways that a co-operative creates shared value for the community that it serves and works to define the concept of ‘Co-operative Advantage’ in a context where competitive advantage is more commonly discussed. It uses a case study approach, based on research conducted between 2008 and 2013 with the Lincolnshire Co-operative Society, in the East Midlands of the UK. The chapter details the co-operative’s approach, and contrasts it with that of a standard investor owned firm (IOF) model. It suggests that the co-operative identity and practices are effective in creating shared value, enhancing the co-operative’s competitiveness while simultaneously advancing the economic and social conditions in the wider community.

The Impact

Purpose – It is recognised that reputation is a relational construct; however the impact of stakeholders’ various relational dimensions on their perceptions to influence reputation is not widely understood. The purpose of this paper is to add to the current understanding of stakeholders’ relationships, interactions, their subsequent relational dimensions and its impact on stakeholders’ perceptions to further influence relational reputation. Design/methodology/approach – This paper takes a case study approach. Findings – The findings of this study recognise the impact of relationship marketing (RM) on the influence of stakeholders’ perceptions. It discusses how RM substantiate the pertinent authenticity (symbolises reputation), relevance and differentiation (represent brand positioning) of an organisation’s profile and/or their market offerings, in relation to the interest of the target market through the cause and consequence of stakeholder relationships and interactions to influence their perceptions. The findings acknowledge 11 RM dimensions that have relational implications to nurture stakeholders’ perceptions and subsequent relational reputation, which appear viable across industries and markets. Originality/value – Underlying the cause and consequence of stakeholder relationships and interactions; these 11 RM dimensions emerge as antecedents to form/reform relational reputation. Further academic and professional implications of the findings are briefly discussed.

The Impact

Objective: To provide guidance to criminologists for conducting experiments in light of two common discouraging factors: the belief that they are overly time-consuming and the belief that they can compromise the ethical principles of human subjects’ research. Method: A case study approach is used, based on a large-scale randomized controlled trial experiment in which we exposed participants to a 5-s TASER shock, to describe how the authors overcame ethical, methodological, and logistical difficulties. Results: We derive four pieces of advice from our experiences carrying out this experimental trial: (1) know your limitations, (2) employ pilot testing, (3) remain flexible and patient, and (4) “hold the line” to maintain the integrity of the research and the safety of human subjects. Conclusions: Criminologists have an obligation to provide the best possible evidence regarding the impact and consequences of criminal justice practices and programs. Experiments, considered by many to be the gold standard of empirical research methodologies, should be used whenever possible in order to fulfill this obligation.

The research aimed to analyze the suitability of local tax target setting with real potential, analyze strategies and factors that influence the optimization of the advertisement tax performance, swallow's nest tax, groundwater tax, and Non-Metal Mineral Tax in Pekanbaru City. The object of this study is the Pekanbaru City Regional Revenue Agency and four objects/subjects of local taxes studied in Pekanbaru City. The method used is qualitative with a case study approach. This research shows that the target setting of Advertising Tax, Swallow's Nest Tax, Groundwater Tax, and Non-Metal Mineral and Rock Tax has not been adjusted to the real potential. The performance reports of each Regional Tax studied were inadequate in relation to the strategies implemented, which made it difficult for the Regional Revenue Agency to make effective and efficient decisions. The factors that influence tax optimization are the inadequate organizational structure, updating of the taxation database, human resources, the use of information technology, strengthening regulations, and supporting infrastructure.Keywords: Local Tax; Target; Strategy; Constraints. AbstrakPenelitian bertujuan untuk menganalisis kesesuaian penetapan target pajak daerah dengan potensi ril, menganalisis strategi dan faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi optimalisasi kinerja Pajak Reklame, Pajak Sarang Burung Walet, Pajak Air Tanah; dan Pajak  Mineral Bukan Logam di Kota Pekanbaru.

The Impact

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is a very powerful solution to many academic and non-academic institutions in case it has been implemented and used effectively. Otherwise, the system will interrupt several business processes. This research paper investigates the impact of ERP system on academic performance at Sohar University. A survey questionnaire is distributed to several academic stakeholders to investigate the impact of ERP system on academic performance within the University context. A total of 110 questionnaires was received from the key academic stakeholders to examine the relationship between the three core ERP modules i.e. the students’ information module, the financial module, and human resource module. The research outcomes indicate that there is a relationship between the three modules and the academic performance. However, only students’ information module and financial management module demonstrate a significant impact on academic performance, though the human resource module shows no impact on the academic performance at Sohar University. This study is a single case study approach, which might limit the findings to be generalized on other education institutes, but it gives a chance to other researchers to do multiple case studies in other Universities in the region.

New Devices

AbstractMinimizing risk is an important factor in new product planning because high volume breakthrough products require tens of millions of dollars to develop and bring to market. Sometimes risk can be minimized by following the IC model: build new devices on an existing process – just change the mask set. This approach obviously has limits. Adoption of new materials and processes greatly expands the horizon for “disruptive” products. This paper uses a case study approach to examine how changes in masks, materials and unit processes were used, and will continue to be used, to produce MEMS products for high volume applications.

Acoustics in churches design is concerned with the impact of sound on both the worshippers and the building as well. The aim of this study is to investigate sound audibility and quality with the use of acoustic materials and most appropriate architectural form. Qualitative and case study approach were adopted, the qualitative method involves the collection of narrative data in a natural setting, with a view to gaining insight. While the case study involved an intensive study of specific phenomena through investigations. These methods were chosen due to the nature of this research, personal observation and interviews were extensively carried out. Research shows that, architectural forms are special vaccines necessary to achieve quality of sound in churches and large halls in general.
