The purpose of this research is to provide new insights into the moderating effects that enable an MNE operating in Egypt to learn to attract, motivate, transform and develop its high-potential local employees for reverse adaptation so as to fit a global mind-set elsewhere in the organisation’s global positions. The methodology uses semi-structured story-based interviews to explore the significance of moderating effects and practices of absorptive capacity and reverse adaptation in Hi Tech in Egypt. The findings reveal the interrelated components that lead to reverse adaptation and how continuous management development is intermediated by learning and well-bonded reciprocity of relationships, amid continuous management development, transformation, and reverse adaptation. This virtuous cycle acts as an integrated adaptation learning loop that supports the process of transformation. The findings refute the linearity of the absorptive capacity model as the transformation stage does not appear to mediate the model but precedes other steps within it. Moreover, it was concluded that the model did not end in achieving the competitive advantage phase. Instead reverse adaptation, as a by-product, acted as a trigger for knowledge acquisition. The originality here is based on a greater understanding of the moderating effects that mediate the relationship between reverse adaptation and the transformation stage of absorptive capacity theory. This allows awareness of how, in the case of the Hi Tech in Egypt, the global mindset is delivered and offers valuable contributions to theory and practice. As reverse adaptation is a nascent multidisciplinary phenomenon for research, the paper also suggests a research agenda for researchers in the area of international management.

PurposeOrganizations invest in information security (IS) technology to be more competitive; however, implementing IS measures creates environmental conditions, such as overload uncertainty, and complexity, which can cause employees technostress, eventually resulting in poor security performance. This study seeks to contribute to the intersection of research on regulatory focus (promotion and prevention) as a type of individual personality traits, technostress, and IS.Design/methodology/approachA survey questionnaire was developed, collecting 346 responses from various organizations, which were analyzed using the structural equation model approach with AMOS 22.0 to test the proposed hypotheses.FindingsThe results indicate support for both the direct and moderating effects of security technostress inhibitors. Moreover, a negative relationship exists between promotion-focused employees and facilitators of security technostress, which negatively affects strains (organizational commitment and compliance intention).Practical implicationsOrganizations should develop various programs and establish a highly IS-aware environment to strengthen employees' behavior regarding IS. Furthermore, organizations should consider employees' focus types when engaging in efforts to minimize security technostress, as lowering technostress results in positive outcomes.Originality/valueIS management at the organizational level is directly related to employees' compliance with security rather than being a technical issue. Using the transaction theory perspective, this study seeks to enhance current research on employees' behavior, particularly focusing on the effect of individuals' personality types on IS. Moreover, this study theorizes the role of security technostress inhibitors for understanding employees' IS behaviors.

PT Arutmin Indonesia merupakan salah satu perusahaan yang bergerak dibidang industri pertambangan. PT Arutmin Indonesia memiliki kontrak  PKP2B dengan umur kontrak yang berakhir pada  2 November 2020. Penelitian dilakukan disalah satu area PKP2B PT Arutmin yaitu pit 11 di site Kintap. Pada pit 11 akan dilakukan eksploitasi dengan melakukan penjadwalan penambangan yang dipertimbangkan berdasarkan analisis kriteria ekonomi. Analisis kriteria ekonomi pada pit 11 digunakan analisis kriteria net present value (NPV).Pada penelitian proyek penambangan pit 11 terdiri atas dua general description yaitu penjadwalan penambangan dan analisis net present value. Penjadwalan penambangan dikerjakan dengan bantuan aplikasi perangkat lunak Xpac 7.14, dimana penjadwalan disimulasikan menjadi 2 simulasi berdasarkan penempatan fleet untuk menentukan penjadwalan penambangan berdasarkan target produksi.  2 simulasi penjadwalan akan diestimasikan berdasarkan forecast rain delay menjadi 3 skenario yaitu skenario 1 pada saat minimum rain delay, skenario 2 pada saat average rain delay, dan skenario 3 maximum rain delay. Dari masing-masing simulasi penjadwalan penambangan akan didapat target produksi batubara, volme overburden dan penentuajn jarak pengangkutan yang akan dianalisis tigkat keekonomisannya berdasarkan kriteria net present value dengan pertimbangan biaya (cost) penambangan dan pendapatan (revenue) dengan komoditas harga batubara (coal price) dan discount rate yang berlaku di PT Arutmin Indonesia. Dengan menggunakan SImulasi 1, penambangan akan berlangsung selama 10 bulan (skenario 1 dan 2 ), dan 11 bulan (skenario  3). Adapun bila menggunakan Simulasi 2, penambangan akan berlangsung selama 12 bulan (skenario 1), 14 bulan (skenario 2) dan 15 bulan (skenario 3Hasil Nilai NPV dari masing-masing simulasi 1 dan 2 didapat untuk skenario 1 nilai NPV yaitu $  29,608,151.48  skenario 2 besar NPV yaitu $29,589,419.87 , dan skenario 3 besar NPV yaitu $ 29,552,139.84. Sedangkan hasil dari simulasi 2 untuk skenario 1 didapat besar NPV yaitu $ 29,552,139.30 , skenario 2 besar NPV yaitu $  29,271,760.24 dan skenario 3 besar NPV yaitu $ 29,150,450.08. Berdasarkan hasil perbandingan, nilai NPV terbesar akan didapatkan bila penjadwalan penambangan dilaksanakan dengan Simulasi 1 yaitu penjadwalan produksi dilakukan dengan menempatkan 2 fleet di pit 11A kemudian dilanjutkan 2 fleet di Pit 11BKata-kata kunci: Fleet, Forecast Rain Delay, Cost, Revenue, Coal Price, Discount Rate, Net Present Value

Important Evidence

Economic evaluation provides important evidence on value for money in health care and is routinely used in health technology assessment processes. The relevant costs and benefits of health care that are considered may arise now and/or in the future, and the relative importance placed on costs and benefits in the future is reflected in the discount rate applied to them. In this paper we note that Australia appears to apply one of the highest discount rates in the world to the assessment of future healthcare benefits. At a time when healthcare systems worldwide are calling for a rebalance of effort towards prevention, Australia’s discount rate risks pulling resource allocation in precisely the opposite direction, locking in institutional short-sightedness to funding decisions.

It Assimilation

In this article, we propose and empirically test major KM effectiveness determinants from the perspective of experts’ perceptions. Specifically, we examine the complex interrelationships between infrastructural and process capabilities, uncovering their mediated and moderating effects on KM effectiveness. The results show that KM process capabilities constitute the primary direct determinant of KM effectiveness. As stipulated in the IT assimilation theory, the effect of IT is not direct, but rather fully mediated through KM process capabilities. Contrary to previous findings, culture acts as an oblique factor, moderating the effect of KM process capabilities on KM effectiveness. Using a formative model of KM process capabilities, we also identify the relative importance of KM processes, which should be of significant appeal to practitioners.

The Cost

In recent years, the environment surrounding companies has become more challenging. It has become more difficult for many companies in the manufacturing industry to possess all the skills they need, such as production, warehousing, and retailing, so they need to outsource certain skills. In supply chains with several companies, each has an optimal strategy. Specifically, supply chains where the solution is decided through negotiations with their partners are defined as “decentralized supply chains.” In such situations, collaborative relationships are important. One possible approach is replenishment contracts between vendors and buyers under the condition that demand for each buyer is constant. In a buyer-dominated supply chain, because the vendor cannot choose solutions that lower the satisfaction of buyers, it is difficult to change the replenishment intervals. The common replenishment epochs (CRE) strategy is one of the methods used to address this issue. The vendor integrates the buyers’ replenishment timings using CRE and provides a price discount on the products to compensate for the increase in the cost to the buyers. The price discount rate is calculated based on the worst reduction rate in the costs incurred by the buyers based on the economic order quantity (EOQ) model. The optimal CRE and discount rate are decided such that the cost incurred by vendor is minimized. The increased emphasis on the worst reduction rates can potentially lead to biases in buyer satisfaction, and the price discount rate is overestimated. Then, the cost of the vendor increases. Hence, through the negotiations with less satisfied buyers, the vendor changes the CRE so that their satisfaction is improved and the price discount is lower. As a result, the vendor can reduce its cost. This study develops a model to find an improved solution after the negotiations. If satisfaction of multiple players is regarded as multi-objective, a solution of multi-player decision-making is obtained using multi-objective optimization. Linear physical programming (LPP) has been applied as a form of multi-objective optimization, and it is possible to determine the weight coefficients using the preference ranges of the objective functions. In addition, by considering the buyers’ preference levels, the constraints of the discount rates are relaxed and the vendor’s cost can be reduced. Therefore, this study develops a model based on the CRE strategy using LPP.
