The paper aims at defining and measuring key internal factors which impact on export performance of vegetable and fruit export firms in Ho Chi Minh City, Lam Dong, Dong Nai, Binh Duong, Vung Tau, Binh Phuoc, Tay Ninh, Long An và Tien Giang province. The study uses resource-based theory (RBV) to explain the internal factors affecting the export performance by applying qualitative and quantitative methods. The qualitative method is carried out through in-depth interviews of 10 chief executive officers, while the quantitative one is conducted through direct interviews with 228 managers of vegetable and fruit companies. Export performance are measured under the subjective perspective to collect information from firms, considering the perception or satisfaction of firms on export activities. The results show that firm's export performance is under the direct influences of four internal factors including: (1) International experience; (2) export commitment; (3) product characteristics; (4) technology orientation. The study measures export performance and internal factors affecting export performance, thereby suggesting management implications that help businesses improve export performance of Vietnamese fruit and vegetable firms.

The purpose of this paper is to define and measure the key factors affecting the export performance of riceand coffee of some companaies Viet Nam. Results drawn from this study propose some implications for rice-exporting firms and coffee-exporting firms to increase their export performance. The article uses both qualitative and quantitative research methods The former was conducted in two phases by means of focusing on group discussions: the first group discussion involved 10 chief executive officers (05 rice-exporting firms, and 05 coffee-exporting firms) to explore factors that affect the export performance, the second one was conducted with another 10 chief executive officers (05 rice-exporting firms, and 05 coffee-exporting firms) to refine the observational variables of research concepts (based on the findings of the first focus group). And the latter was conducted through interviews with 232 owner/export managers (from rice-exporting firms, and coffee-exporting firms) in Viet Nam. The results show that: (i) export performance is affected by marketing strategies, management characteristics, domestic market characteristics, and foreign market characteristics; and export barriers; and (ii) marketing strategies are affected by management characteristics, and foreign market characteristics. However, the research has some certain limitations: (i) the sample size only consisted of rice-exporting firms and coffee-exporting firms, (ii) The sampling technique of the study is the convenience sampling.

The paper attempts to define and measure factors affecting export of provinces/ cities in Vietnam, using both qualitative and quantitative methods. In particular, the former was conducted through in-depth interviews with 15 experts (including 3 academics, 7 export officials of Departments of Industry and Trade and 5 managers of export enterprises) in December 2018. The latter was performed using spatial regression model on secondary data of 63 provinces/cities from 2013 to 2017. The paper provides a new research methodology on export of Vietnam’s provinces/ cities (i.e. the spatial regression model). The empirical results show that there is a positive correlation between neighboring provinces/ cities in export activities, indicating that the good export performance of one province boosts that of its neighbors. The results also show that the export of Vietnam’s provinces/ cities is affected by GDP, import value, investment capital, and labor costs.

The study focused on the effects of the board members’ remuneration on the performance of public enterprises in Namibia. The main objective of this study was to investigate the inter relationship between board members’ remuneration and the performance of the public enterprises in Namibia. The study used quantitative methods as a research strategy. The research study used secondary data from the Ministry of public enterprises database and primary data was gathered through structured questionnaires that were distributed to different public enterprises’ Chief executive officers in Namibia. The study focused on board members’ remuneration as representatives of the board members for each of the 97 state-owned enterprises in Namibia. The researcher used Excel to do the regression analysis. The researcher tested for correlation between a firm’s performance and annual salary and sitting allowance and miscellaneous allowance. Public enterprises are divided into four tiers. The researcher made use of the average revenue for each tier to represent the firm’s performance. A total of 75% of the respondents do not agree that there is a relationship between the board members’ remuneration and the firms’ performance, and 17% agree that there is a relationship between the board members’ remuneration and the firms’ performance. The study recommended that the MPE/Pes should implement motivational strategies to improve board members’ performance hence improving the firm’s performance.

By focusing on environmental management accounting in SMEs, the study helps SME managers to effectively understand and find better ways of improving environmental management. The paper investigates environmental management accounting applications in manufacturing small and medium enterprises in Gauteng province. Small and medium enterprises were chosen based on their exclusion from the mainstream research on environmental management accounting (EMA). To achieve the main aim of the study, 24 in-depth interviews were undertaken among SMEs’ managers, accountants, chief executive officers, and owners. The study found that physical EMA is more common in SMEs than monetary EMA. 77% of SMEs’ respondents confirm using physical environmental information in their operations. Therefore, SMEs prefer EMA practices with little cost or no cost attached and practices that can effectively generate returns in the short term. In addition, the avoidance of monetary EMA is anchored on the premise of avoiding costly projects with no immediate material financial returns. Therefore, EMA is critical for SMEs to achieve sustainability.

Purpose – The aim of this exploratory study is to examine the perceptions of stakeholders regarding the scope of internal audit (IA) work in Libyan state-owned enterprises. Design/methodology/approach – Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with chief executive officers, IA directors, administrative affairs managers, financial affairs managers and external auditors, which were supplemented with a review of relevant documentary evidence. Findings – The results of the study show that the scope of IA in Libyan organizations may not be sufficiently wide ranging to be considered as a value-adding service. The scope of the IA function may need to be expanded to cover a broader range of organizational functions if internal auditors are to offer value-adding services to their stakeholders. Practical implications – The IA profession has received scant attention in the literature, especially in the context of developing countries such as Libya. Therefore, such settings offer the potential to enhance the understanding of IA practices. As a study on a developing economy, it enhances understanding of the IA profession’s global configuration beyond the predominantly market-driven, industrialized Western economies. Originality/value – In contrast to most previous studies, this study covers a broad range of IA stakeholders’ views on the role of internal auditors. This coverage enabled an in-depth investigation of the factors affecting IA scope and understanding of stakeholder perceptions on the IA function.

Schooling System

In England, schools are able to take on academy status, which is intended by the central government to give them greater autonomy (DfE, 2018). Groups of academies can form multi-academy trusts (MATs), which typically grow in size with additional schools becoming academies and joining. One mechanism for MAT growth is sponsorship, which occurs when an underperforming school is required to become an academy and to join a MAT to facilitate its improvement. It was to explore the emerging patterns of MATs and their operation, especially in relation to sponsorship, that the research we report here was carried out. The research was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, we sought to establish the emerging patterns of MATs that sponsor underperforming schools. In the second phase, we interviewed MAT chief executive officers (CEOs) to further explore emerging patterns of MATs, the factors affecting the growth of MATs and the nature of sponsorship. Our analysis shows the development of a complex and potentially unsustainable state schooling system in England, managed by Regional School Commissioners (RSCs) and dependent on the altruistic values and motivations of CEOs of MATs to improve schools that are underperforming.
