Increasing Trend

This paper aims to investigate the trend of human resource disclosure (HRD) quality based on publicly disclosed annual reports of 235 Malaysian listed companies. The data was collected through content analysis method using HRD index. The results reveal that there is an increasing trend of HRD quality from 2010 to 2014.  However the significant increase is only between 2012 and 2013. This study provides empirical support for Institutional theory’s coercive isomorphism, through its findings on quality of HRD. This is because, the related disclosure regulations and the Malaysian government policy through Malaysia Plan may have significantly influenced firms to increase HRD quality in their annual reports.

This paper examined the problems bedeviling the operations of the Nigerian ports before the concession programme of 2006 and how well the concession has improved the performance of the Ports system. Data were collected through secondary methods such as annual reports, as well as interview and media reports.  The content analysis method was adopted in analyzing the data. The findings of the study showed that the concession may for all its worth have been able to earn more income for the government but the Authority has failed to keep its part of the contract agreement especially as it concerns the provision of the enabling environment for port operations; infrastructures were still lacking, dwell time has not substantially reduced and corruption still soared high. The paper submits that the regulators of the maritime system need to do more to ensure that it is not paying lip service to its vision of being the leading port in Africa.

In Cyprus, many pupils with chronic diseases attend public school in regular classes, managing their disease's demands in parallel with their education. Teachers are responsible for both education and management of these pupils at school. They have to see to their safety, but they must also provide equal learning opportunities to pupils with chronic diseases. Therefore, teachers' information about each child's condition and needs is crucial for their better response to the challenge of coping with the unique needs these pupils may have at school and in the classroom. This study's purpose is an initial investigation of the quality of the information teachers receive in this context. Our methodology is qualitative. We conducted twelve interviews with secondary education teachers in Larnaca and Famagusta in Cyprus during 2019-2020. We analyzed our data by applying the Thematic Content Analysis method. Our findings indicated that teachers felt that the school's information regarding pupils with chronic diseases was either incomplete or, even worse, non-existent.

Taiwan has been nearly 40 years of history in developing B&B, and has accumulated rich experience in B&B development and management. While B&B history is much shorter in mainland China, there is a gap of industry matureness between two sides. Therefore, it is of great practical significance for the development of B&B in mainland China to systematically discuss the quality of B&B in Taiwan. This study extracted 24 B&B cases in Taiwan from Agoda website, based on stratified sampling method, and classified and assigned values according to the quality evaluation index and coding standard with content analysis method. Finally, the paper obtained the key factors of the quality of the B&B based on the evaluation of indicators at all levels, and got the correlation analysis results: cost performance and fitment time are positively correlated to the quality of the B&B while guestroom number is negatively correlated to the quality of the B&B.

It provides a mechanism through which the company’s objectives are set, and for attaining those objectives and monitoring performance. The main objective of this study is to explore how far the GCG principles have been implemented in listed State-Owned Enterprises (SOE). In addition, the writer compares the GCG implementation among the participant companies as well as across the industries, in which the companies are classified. The method used in the data collection is observation through the company’s annual report (content analysis). The writer uses GCG Evaluation Manual of Badan Pengawasan Keuangan dan Pembangunan (BPKP) released and endorsed in 2004 by the Ministry of SOE, as the scoring system. The results generated from this study are the company’s scores in implementing the GCG principles.
