Product Industry

The halal product industry continues to grow and has a big influence on the global market. In fact, Indonesia is determined to make the country's halal product industry more competitive in the world halal market. To anticipate this global market competition, Indonesia as a Muslim majority country must be able to take the advantage of this enormous opportunity. The role of the network in developing halal products to the global market was when marketing its products. PT. Mitratani could not be separated from relationships with business partners. Each business partner had a role to play. Also, PT. Mitratani could not separate the use of information technology and media as a means to expand marketing to the global market. To create an edge in competition, PT. Mitratani focused on customer and consumer needs. The most important thing was to build trust in business partners. PT. Mitratani's advantage was in the cultivation of edamame. It was from planting to the use of pesticides and fertilizers, until PT Mitratani farmers did their own crops and carried out quality control on each land. This was done to maintain the quality of edamame. PT. Mitratani also improved the quality of its products by implementing HACCP, SOP and GMP in processing and production. In addition to maintaining the quality of PT, Mitratani had established good relationships with company stakeholders so that loyalty and trusted in the product and the company could continue.

The Absolute

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of product market competition in shaping a firm’s reporting quality (RQ). Design/methodology/approach This research uses an aggregate measure of a firm’s RQ, considering both the absolute level of discretionary accruals (DA) and the quality of accruals, using modified Jones model and Francis et al. (2005) accruals quality model, respectively. Whereas, the Herfindahl-Hirschman index and the Lerner index are used to measure product market competition. Further, this study considers the transitional economy of China and employs panel data estimation techniques for testing the hypothesized relationships. Findings This study finds that firms operating in more competitive industries are associated with higher RQ. This association still prevails when analysis is done using the component measures of RQ (i.e. the absolute level of DA and the quality of accruals). Overall, the empirical results provide evidence on the disciplining role of product market competition among Chinese firms. Practical implications Given the complex governance structures and specific kind of agency problems in Chinese corporations, this study suggests that product market competition may play an external disciplining role to improve the corporate information environment. Originality/value This research explores the role of product market competition for a firm’s RQ in Chinese-listed companies, while the prior studies on the same topic are mostly from the developed countries.

Background/Context For over two decades, there has been a steady call for deregulating U.S. teacher education, closing down allegedly poor quality college and university programs, and creating greater market competition. In response to this call to disrupt the dominance of colleges and universities in teacher education, and because of the policies and funding allocations of the U.S. Education Department and private foundation funding, non-university providers of teacher education have proliferated in certain areas of the country. A critical aspect of the current call for greater deregulation and market competition in teacher education has been the declaration that university teacher education has failed. While there is no dispute about the need for improvements in the dominant college and university system of teacher education, it is also important to critically evaluate the warrants for the value of programs that critics claim should replace college and university programs. Purpose The focus of this paper is to illustrate how research has been misrepresented to support policies and programs that would simultaneously reduce the role of colleges and universities in preparing U.S. teachers and support the expansion of the role of non-university providers. We also examine the print news media's role in uncritically reproducing a narrative of failure about university teacher education and promoting the success of new non-university programs—attention that has served to inflate the public perception of these organizations and programs beyond what is warranted by the available evidence. Research Design Four cases are presented that illustrate the efforts to manufacture a narrative of the failure of colleges and universities in preparing teachers, and to construct a narrative of success for the non-university programs that have been funded to replace them. The authors use the concepts of echo chambers and knowledge ventriloquism to show how this process operates. Conclusions/Recommendations Following the presentation of the cases, specific recommendations are offered for raising the quality of the debates about the future of U.S. teacher education. These include greater transparency in the process of reform, better communication between researchers and stakeholders, using research that has been vetted to inform the debates, and genuinely exploring different policy options for teacher education.

El papel del profesional de la contabilidad ha evolucionado incorporando un amplio abanico de tareas que requieren de los futuros profesionales (al menos a un cierto nivel) mucho más que conocimientos técnicos. Paralelamente a este incremento de los requisitos se percibe la existencia de problemas en cuanto a las características de los alumnos que optan por una carrera en contabilidad. Algunos autores han sugerido que en el origen de esta divergencia requisitos profesionales –características del alumnado está una concepción errónea, por parte de los estudiantes, de cuáles son las tareas de un contable y las capacidades necesarias para ello. Así, es posible que se perciba por los alumnos una imagen estereotipada de la profesión y la clase de trabajo que realiza: aburrido, definido, preciso y orientado al cumplimiento de normas. Esta imagen parece basarse y reforzarse por la ofrecida en distintos medios (p.e. las películas o series). En esta línea, el presente trabajo tiene como objetivos estudiar (I) la percepción que tienen los estudiantes de contabilidad sobre la profesión contable al comenzar sus estudios universitarios y (II) las motivaciones subyacentes y su posible relación con la imagen. La muestra se compone de estudiantes de los dos grados con más peso en esta materia (ADE y FICO) de la Universidad de Sevilla. Los resultados indican que no hay una visión claramente estereotipada, ni diferencias destacables por grado. Se confirma que la principal fuente de motivación en nuestros alumnos es la externa. La relevancia de determinadas facetas y sus implicaciones para el área se discuten. The role of today’s accountant has evolved including now a set of tasks that require from the future professionals (at least to reach higher level positions) much more skills than merely technical knowledge. At the same time the professional requirements are growing, there is a perception of lack of quality of entry level students. Some authors suggested that the origin of this divergence (professional requirements – students characteristics) is the students’ misconception about the real tasks an accountant must perform and the skills required for that. Therefore it is likely that some students have a stereotyped image of accounting: boring, precise, oriented to standards. This image appears to be due to, and reinforced by, the stereotype that appears in media (v.g. films or TV series). In this line, this paper aims to study (I) the perception about accounting of entry level accounting students, (II) the underlying motives, and the relationships between these motives and the perceptions. The sample is composed of first year students at the two relevant degrees in accounting (Finance & Accounting and Business Administration) at the Universidad de Sevilla. The results suggest that the students do not present an acute stereotyped view of the area, but external motivation is still the strongest source of motivation. The relevance of certain students’ views on accounting and their academic implications are discussed.

This article introduces Cognitive Health Counseling 40+ (CH.CO40+), an individualized intervention that is conceptually based on the orchestration model of quality-of-life management ( Martin & Kliegel, 2010 ) and aims at improving satisfaction with cognitive health in adults aged 40 years and older. We describe the theoretically deduced characteristics of CH.CO40+, its target group, its multifactorial nature, its individualization, the application of subjective and objective measures, the role of participants as agents of change, and the rationale for choosing participants’ satisfaction with their cognitive health as main outcome variable. A pilot phase with 15 middle-aged and six older adults suggests that CH.CO40+ attracts, and may be particularly suitable for, subjective memory complainers. Implications of the pilot data for the further development of the intervention are discussed.
