Libraries are taking on new roles in a disaster and with that comes strategic responsibilities beyond traditional asset recovery activities. In the past, library disaster plans have emphasized recovery of materials. Here, the emphasis is on continuing business operations. Libraries have become the centers of communication for their communities in a crisis. This article will demonstrate the essential role of libraries before, during and after a disaster, both short term and long term and how to get a seat at the table with community planners by demonstrating the functions that are critical to recovery. A literature review and case study are used to develop these recommendations. A critical success factor is to use a disaster preparation methodology that includes a business continuity plan.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the issues relating to sustainable development (SD) in the context of indigenous village development in Hong Kong. Design/methodology/approach – A case study approach is used in this research. In addition to literature review, qualitative data, primarily collected through personal interviews with various stakeholders were the main source of input. Findings – The Small House Policy (SHP) case illustrates an unsustainable policy. It underscores the interrelatedness among the relevant systems – social/cultural, economic, political and environmental – in the context of SD. In the short term, the government can at least expedite the construction of sewage facilities for the villages. Furthermore, the government can consider elevating the penalty and tightening policing/patrolling in village environs to discourage the illegal sale of “ding” rights and small houses. In the longer term, the government needs to put the rural area in order. Identifying means to zone planning would be a possible direction on this front. Originality/value – Through examining the case of SHP relating to the indigenous villages in Hong Kong, the complexity of SD is thoroughly revealed.

The aims of this study to find out anti-corruption education urgence for state Islamic religious teachers. This study use Qualitative Research Methods. The result show that Corruption is seen as an extra ordinary crime, therefore it requires extraordinary efforts to eradicate it. Efforts to eradicate corruption which consists of two major parts, namely prosecution and prevention will never be optimally successful if only carried out by the government without involving public participation. Therefore it is not an exaggeration if students - as an important part of society who are the inheritors of the future - are expected to be actively involved in efforts to eradicate corruption in Indonesia. Of course, these efforts are still a discourse and the benefits will not be felt in the short term, but in the long term this discourse is believed to be fruitful. If higher education starts, especially PTKIN, it will inspire others, and one day it comes to efforts to draft a legal product with anti-corruption nuances that can be initiated in PTKIN, such as the Bill, Ranperda and the like. Hopefully PTKIN can play a more significant role in the future. Thus, corruption can be minimized and even eliminated from this beloved country, including through optimizing the role of PTKIN.

For an industry, business sustainability is a critical aspect to be addressed by the company to remain relevant in an ever competitive market demand. In doing so, one of the strategies that can be taken is through adhering to all laws and legal requirements, particularly on halal aspect. The establishment of the Internal Halal Committee (IHC) is part of the requirement stipulated by the Malaysia Guidelines on Halal Assurance System 2011 (HAS 2011) and Manual Procedure for Malaysia Halal Certification (Third Revision) 2014 (MPPHM 2014). These laws must be read together with standards, Fatwa decisions, and regulations which are enforced pertaining to Malaysia Halal Certification. The law requires the establishment of IHC together with the appointment of a halal executive, supervisor, and also checkers in order to ensure that products are in accordance with standards prescribed by the law and Shariah principles in Malaysia. By adopting a case study approach involving a multinational slaughter house, this article highlights the practice taken up by Jimat Jaya Sdn. Bhd. The study employed interviews and non-participatory observation for data collection. It was revealed that strict legal requirements imposed by the government on halal products and compliance by the company have helped the company to gain more confidence from its existing and potential customers in relation to their products, hence ensuring sustainability of the business in the market.

Researchers have endeavoured to explore how hybrid organizations navigate conflicting institutional demands. Yet, the role of time has often been neglected. We address this oversight through a longitudinal comparative case study, where we investigate how time and stakeholder engagement shape hybrid organizations’ capacity to secure support from stakeholders adhering to different logics. Grounding our insights in the literatures on hybrid organizations and stakeholder management, we reveal how stakeholder demands that appear to be incompatible when analysed from a short-term perspective can be seen as paradoxical when addressed with a long-term perspective. We also find that the development of this paradoxical perspective is facilitated by stakeholder engagement. Finally, we show that a long-term perspective helps hybrid organizations manage symbolic and substantive actions with the appropriate sequence and timing. Together, this evidence contributes to research by providing a better understanding of temporality and how it influences the effectiveness of organizations in responding to divergent stakeholder demands.

The Covid-19 disaster experienced by Indonesia demands a quick and precise response from the government to apply various cross-sectoral policies to limit the spread of Covid-19. The involvement of government and non-government stakeholder networks is crucial in public policy. Therefore this paper will analyze the role of actor-networks at the strategic level, which relates to various state institutions at the national government and government at the regional level, to actors at the operational level such as academics, companies and entrepreneurs, society, and mass media. Through that, it is possible to assess the effectiveness of the Covid-19 handling policies that have been undertaken so far. This article, composed using qualitative methods and a case study approach, has the conclusion that the handling of Covid-19 in Indonesia has not been able to run optimally. It happened because of the minimal utilization of the actor's network. The execution of the management policies of Covid-19 was impaired, which became complicated and overlapping to have a direct effect on the group as a whole.

Abstract Since China enacted its Anti-Monopoly Law (AML) in 2007, foreign observers and business operators have constantly raised concerns as to whether the AML can inject a modern competition spirit into the world’s largest transitional economy or whether the AML will be overridden by policy objectives. These concerns become more obvious in industries that have been heavily regulated by the government. In this article, we choose the airline industry as a research target to explore possible ways to restrain industrial regulators from unduly interfering in competition and to reinforce the role of the AML. We focus on three kinds of administrative regulations in China’s domestic aviation market: limiting the threshold of market entry, price regulations, and subsidies. Then we analyse the policy objectives these regulations intend to achieve and their anti-competitive effects. Finally, we conclude with two suggestions from long-term and short-term perspectives: first, the newly established Fair Competition Review System (FCRS) should be effectively used to normalize and limit regulators’ policy-making authority. Moreover, the reviewing criteria should be made clearer and more meticulous to offer both FCRS reviewers and anti-monopoly agencies guidelines for assessing the effects of administrative behaviours on competition. Second, in the long term, industrial regulators are encouraged to set up competition-friendly industrial policies, embrace modern competition concepts in their traditional regulatory paradigm, and foster a competitive culture.
