This exploratory study uses data from 413 principals to examine whether and how competency-based education has been implemented in the Northeast states and the extent to which there is variation in implementation between states with different policies. Results suggest that competency-based practices that are most similar to current practices are reported more and practices that diverge from current practices are reported less. There were statistically significant differences between states with “advanced” and nonexistent competency-based education policies on three measures. Secondary principals could use this study to understand key features of the reform and the likely barriers and challenges to implementation regardless of their state policy context.

In response to practices by major U.S. corporations, the SEC and the FASB initiated major revenue recognition projects. This commentary examines the accounting for long-term contracts, an aspect of revenue recognition often overlooked in academic research. The exploratory study reported here describes current practices and disclosures about long-term contracts by Fortune 500 corporations, examines the level of comparability in these disclosures, and provides explanations for current practices.

This study investigates researchers’ current practices for managing and sharing research data. An online survey was conducted among researchers from three Arab universities in Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. In total, 337 participants filled out the questionnaire. The study shows that 97% of researchers were responsible for their research data, and 64.4% of researchers shared their data. Contributing to scientific progress and increasing research citations and visibility were the key factors that motivated researchers to share data. However, confidentiality and data misuse were the main concerns among those who were reluctant to share. Finally, some recommendations regarding the improvement of data management and sharing practices are presented.

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an approach that can be used to integrate different services across the operating system, platform, language, and network which offers some benefits. However, many organizations failed to fully utilize the SOA because the adoption processes are still immature. Therefore, an exploratory study was conducted which aims to investigate the current issues and practices of SOA adoption, the use of maturity levels for assessing the SOA adoption, and the importance of IT and business benefits in the SOA adoption. Thus, the Grounded Theory approach was adapted in the study which involved seven (7) software development companies in Malaysia. In this study, fourteen (14) SOA practitioners with at least three years of experience in the SOA development were interviewed. The collected data was analyzed through three main coding stages which are open, axial and selective coding. The theory emerged from this study reveals the SOA adoption issues, current practices, maturity levels, IT and Business benefits. The study managed to identify five main issues in SOA adoption which are knowledge, infrastructures, costing, readiness, and documentation issues. The study also portrays five practices related to technology, framework, platform, standard, and tools. On the other hand, the results show five IT and business benefits consecutively. The findings from the study have lead to the theories formulation on the SOA adoption which may assist researchers and SOA assessors to continuously improve the quality and maturity of SOA adoption in the future.

Building’s design is developing to involve complexities of engineering systems, where design process requires various disciplines of participants to solve the complex issues. Collaborative design is developed with main purpose to facilitate the integration of multiple participants in design process to produce best design. This paper presents conceptual understanding, current practices, and theoretical framework of collaborative design. Literature review builds the conceptual understanding, exploratory study through in-depth interviews to design managers and designers reveals the current practices, and grounded theory constructs the theoretical framework. The review had found three main indicators of collaborative design, and through those indicators it has been identified that collaborative design is implemented at design process. The interviews had revealed that best design is hard to be achieved although collaborative design has been applied. Through grounded theory analysis, it has been found that the lack understanding of Knowledge Management (KM) roles is found to be main issue collaborative design practices.
