AbstractProfessional literature deals extensively with commitment (management and personal commitment), trust between partners and transparency as critical success factors in collaboration in general and in collaboration among public entities in particular. The State of Israel and the Municipality of Tel Aviv owned seven joint subsidiaries with different holdings in each of the companies. The Israeli government made a decision to sell the State's shares in these companies to the Tel Aviv Municipality. In 2016, a long process, of over eight years of negotiations, between the parties on a commercial basis, came to an end. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how the implementation of principles of commitment, trust and transparency in practice led to the successful conclusion of the process. The research method was qualitative research, using semi-structured interviews, in the process where involved 12 people.

Wakaf ialah apa-apa harta yang ditahan hak pewakaf ke atas harta tersebut daripada sebarang urusan jual beli, pewarisan, hibah dan wasiat, ada masa yang sama mengekalkan sumber fizikalnya untuk kebajikan dengan niat mendekatkan diri pewakaf kepada Allah SWT. Di Malaysia, wakaf ditadbir oleh Majlis Agama Islam Negeri (MAIN) di negeri masing-masing. Namun, dewasa ini wakaf sering dikaitkan dengan masalah tadbir urus rentetan daripada kelompongan yang terdapat dalam tadbir urus institusi wakaf itu sendiri. Seiring dengan kebangkitan institusi wakaf mutakhir ini, maka panggilan ke arah pengamalan tadbir urus yang baik dan amalan terbaik wakaf semakin terserlah. Ini kerana amalan terbaik tadbir urus yang baik perlu diadaptasi oleh MAIN lantaran ia merupakan antara faktor kejayaan yang bersifat kritikal untuk menghidupkan semula institusi wakaf di Malaysia. Artikel ini bertujuan membincangkan transformasi tadbir urus Majlis Agama Islam dan Adat Istiadat Melayu Perlis (MAIPs) selaku institusi yang menguruskan wakaf di negeri Perlis. Kajian ini berbentuk kualitatif dan menggunapakai reka bentuk kajian kes. Dalam menganalisa data kajian, penulis menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan. Data kajian dikumpul melalui dokumen dan temu bual separa struktur bersama pegawai-pegawai wakaf di MAIPs. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa MAIPs telah melalui beberapa fasa transformasi tadbir urus yang positif dalam menguruskan wakaf di Perlis. Kejayaan tadbir urus yang diimplementasikan oleh MAIPs merupakan bukti bahawa MAIPs bersikap proaktif dalam mengurus dan mentadbir wakaf di negeri Perlis. Implikasi kajian ini dapat membantu pembuat dasar, pentadbir dan pengurus institusi wakaf untuk menambahbaik sistem tadbir urus yang sedia ada agar wakaf dapat dimartabatkan dan dimanfaatkan untuk umat Islam di Malaysia secara keseluruhannya. ABSTRACT Waqf is any property that the donor retains right over the property from any sale, inheritance, grant and will, at the same time retaining his physical source for welfare with the intention of bringing the donor closer to Allah SWT. In Malaysia, waqf is governed by the State Islamic Religious Council (SIRC) in their respective states. However recently, these waqf are often associated with stringent governance problems resulting from the gaps inherent in the governance of the waqf institution itself. With the rise of the modern waqf institution, the call for good governance practices and the best practices of waqf is growing. This is because good governance practices need to be adapted by SIRC as it is one of the critical success factors for revitalizing the waqf institution in Malaysia. This article is intended to discuss the governance transformation of the Perlis Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIPs) as the institution that administers waqf in the state of Perlis. This study is a qualitative study with case study designation. In analyzing the research data, the authors use the content analysis method. The data were collected through documents and semi-structured interviews with MAIPs officers. The result shows that MAIPs has gone through several phases of positive governance transformation in managing waqf in Perlis. The success of the governance implemented by MAIPs is a proof that MAIPs is proactive in managing and administering wakaf in Perlis. The implication of this study is to help policy makers, administrators and managers of the waqf institution to improve the existing governance system so that waqf can be fully utilized for Muslims in Malaysia.

Purpose This research aims to focus on the idea management system (IMS) with the main purpose of identifying and describing the factors that promote success in managing ideas, grounded on the analysis of case studies. Design/methodology/approach The method used consists of a case study and semi-structured interviews with those directly responsible for the management of ideas from four companies, which are presented in this paper. Findings The main findings, critical for the success of an IMS, are as follow: the involvement of top management, evidence of results, establishment of goals and objectives, dissemination of good results, willingness to share and develop ideas, complete transparency in the management of ideas, maintenance of dynamic and proactive attitudes and mainly recognition. All have been described. Research limitations/implications This work presents a preliminary framework for further research toward the study of CSFs inherent to IMSs that is still bound by the limited number of case studies presented. Further research should be undertaken to broaden and consolidate the presented CFSs and their pertinence. Originality/value This study, although limited to four case studies, presents conclusive results that support managers of suggestion systems/IMSs in improving or deploying such systems. The main factors were identified and described. They can contribute to the effectiveness of employee suggestion system. It can be reasoned from this investigation that the contributions from employees toward the success of a company leads to excellence in business.

During the first two decades following the establishment of the State of Israel, the Tel Aviv-Jaffa municipality had to deal with flooding from the Ayalon River. By means of constructing a series of walls, the route of the river and its depth were altered in an unsuccessful attempt to solve the problem. It became clear that a more drastic solution was necessary. Water issues and rivers in particular provide a unique opportunity to study the underlying relationships between local and central governments and between local and international water experts. In this article, I compare the different interests of those who were involved in dealing with the flooding from the Ayalon and the motivations behind their actions. As part of the solution to the Ayalon flooding problem, an infrastructure company was established in 1965 as a partnership between the Tel Aviv-Jaffa municipality and the Israeli government. The main task of the company was to construct a highway along the route of the river, thus ironically providing a drastic solution to the problem.

PurposeWicked problems require collaborative innovation approaches. Understanding the problem from the users' perspective is essential. Based on a complex and ill-defined case, the purpose of the current paper is to identify some critical success factors in defining the “right problem” to be addressed.Design/methodology/approachAn empirical research study was carried out in a low-density municipality (case study). Extensive data were collected from official databases, individual semi-structured interviews and a focus group involving citizens, local authorities, civil servants and other relevant stakeholders.FindingsAs defined by the central government, the problem to be addressed by the research team was to identify which justice services should be made available locally to a small- and low-density community. The problem was initially formulated using top-down reasoning. In-depth contact with citizens and key local players revealed that the lack of justice services was not “the issue” for that community. Mobility constraints and the shortage of economic opportunities had a considerable impact on the lack of demand for justice services. By using a bottom-up perspective, it was possible to reframe the problem to be addressed and suggest a new concept to be tested at later stages.Social implicationsThe approach followed called attention to the importance of listening to citizens and local organisations with a profound knowledge of the territory to effectively identify and circumscribe a local problem in the justice field.Originality/valueThe paper highlights the limitations of traditional rational problem-solving approaches and contributes to expanding the voice-of-the-customer principle showing how it can lead to a substantially new definition of the problem to be addressed.
