Succession Process

Despite substantial research on business success, female succession, its associated process, the encountered difficulties within the succession process, and the suitable support are theoretically ignored. The low attention of this subject is preconditioned by some cultural factors essentially religion and habits favorable to man. Successors face some difficulties like acceptance, integration, insertion, and management. It differs from the context and the successors' identities. Some countries support men more than women; others support women than men while some countries refuse this distinction. Using 20 successors, this study aims to understand how religion interferes in supporting successors within the succession process. Muslim countries offer to contextually support and assure business continuity and business cohesion.

AbstractIn the period 1815–1870, several thousand British workers and engineers went to the continent for work purposes, playing a decisive part in European industrialisation. Workers emigrated because they could market their skills at good value; or because their British employers sought to make the most of their technical lead by setting businesses up abroad, and by producing on the continent, they could avoid protective tariffs.Which social and cultural factors enabled British capital to flow to continental and indeed global enterprise, British skills to shape labour processes overseas, and British male and female labourers to seek and find overseas employment? This introduction to the Special Issue raises a series of questions on these flows. It asks what numbers went to the continent, in comparison with the large flows to the US and the British World. It addresses the legislative and economic aspects of these labour migrations and tries to relate these to the discussion on the supposed ‘high-wage economy’ of the British industrial revolution. It also focuses on the practicalities of migration. Last, it is also interested in the cultural, religious and associational life of the British migrants, as well as in the relations with the local populations.

Background. Recent epidemiological data suggest a decline in bulimia nervosa (BN) incidence in primary care. We sought to examine BN point prevalence from 1982 to 2002 in a college population.Method. In 1982, 1992, and 2002, 800 women and 400 men were randomly sampled from a university for a study of health and eating patterns. Participation rates were 72% in women and 63% in men, resulting in n=2491 participants.Results. BN point prevalence decreased significantly in women over the period of observation. Eating Disorder Inventory Bulimia scores decreased across cohorts, and these decreases remained significant when male and female and Caucasian and non-Caucasian students were analyzed separately.Conclusion. These data support a decline in BN rates that cannot be attributed to changes in service utilization. Changing socio-cultural factors may explain a true decrease in BN incidence and prevalence.

Body-satisfaction and self-satisfaction scales based on the work of Secord and Jourard (1953) were given to 146 male and 194 female adolescents ranging in age from 11 through 19 yr. Response tendencies of males and females are significantly different, females expressing more dissatisfaction with themselves and their bodies than do males. The expression of body- and self-satisfaction was not related to age for this range. Despite differences in response tendencies, male and female adolescents tended to react to body- and self-satisfaction items in a similar fashion. For both sexes the same degree of relative dissatisfaction was expressed for those aspects of the body experience associated with growth, namely, height, weight, and physique. It is also suggested that the relative expression of dissatisfaction with height, weight, chest, waist, and hips may reflect cultural factors associated with concerns with weight gain in an affluent society, rather than concerns with stylized standards of beauty.

<p>Perkembangan <em>startup </em>berbasis teknologi informasi (TI) semakin meningkat dewasa ini. Sebagai penunjang keberhasilan bisnis perusahaan, TI memiliki risiko yang timbul di berbagai keadaan terutama di era pandemi COVID-19. Salah satu alternatif yang dapat dimanfaatkan untuk mengelola dan menjamin usaha yang lebih kondusif dan kredibel yaitu manajemen risiko yang tepat. Hal ini karena manejemen risiko menjadi hal yang penting pada bisnis dalam meningkatkan keuntungan dan mempertahankan kontinuitas bisnis, terutama dalam kondisi pandemi COVID-19. Pembahasan manajemen risiko TI secara umum sudah cukup banyak, namun penelitian manajemen risiko dalam menghadapi masa pandemi perlu dipertimbangkan. Hal ini dikarenakan pada masa pandemi ini, TI menjadi salah satu kunci agar bisnis dapat bertahan dan memenangkan kompetisi. Selain itu, pandemi COVID-19 termasuk dalam kasus luar biasa yang belum pernah terjadi dalam kurun waktu ratusan tahun, sehingga secara teknis risiko dari pandemi ini termasuk dalam risiko yang tidak terpikirkan sebelumnya oleh perusahaan. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengidentifikasi kondisi implementasi manajamen dan ancaman risiko terhadap proses bisnis pada sebuah perusahaan <em>startup </em>terutama di masa pandemi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan mengacu pada COBIT® 2019 fokus domain DSS04 <em>Manage Continuity </em>dengan melakukan observasi awal terhadap kondisi perusahaan dan wawancara terhadap pemangku kepentingan perusahaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perusahaan telah melakukan penyesuaian terhadap kebutuhan bisnis selama masa pandemi COVID-19 untuk memastikan keberlangsungan bisnis. Namun dalam pelaksanaannya belum ada pengukuran <em>risk management</em> untuk mengontrol apakah manajemen risiko yang dijalankan sudah tepat, sehingga diperlukan penerapan COBIT® 2019 dalam tata kelola bisnis perusahaan.</p><p> </p><p><em><strong>Abstract</strong></em></p><p><em>The development of information technology (IT) based startups is increasing nowadays. To support the company's business success, IT has risks arising from various circumstances, especially in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. One alternative that can be used to manage and ensure a conducive and credible business is proper risk management. This is because risk management is important for businesses in increasing profits and maintaining business continuity, especially in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a lot of discussion about IT risk management in general, but research on risk management in dealing with the pandemic needs to be considered. This is because during this pandemic, IT is one of the keys for businesses to survive and win the competition. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic is included in an extraordinary case that has not occurred in hundreds of years, so that technically the risks from this pandemic are included in risks that were not thought of before by the company. The purpose of this study is to identify the conditions of management implementation and risk threats to business processes at a company startup, especially during the pandemic. This study uses a qualitative method with reference to COBIT® 2019 focused on the DSS04 Manage Continuity domain by conducting initial observations of the company's condition and interviews with company stakeholders. The results show that the company has made adjustments to business needs during the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure business continuity. However, in practice there is no risk management measurement to control whether the risk management is carried out properly, so it is necessary to implement COBIT® 2019 in corporate business governance.</em></p><p><em><strong><br /></strong></em></p>

Customer Delight

Purpose Entrepreneurial marketing is a hybrid concept of entrepreneurship and marketing defining business for future challenges. This study aims to examine the following two issues of entrepreneurial marketing concerning impact of perceived quality on customer delight: first, identifying entrepreneurial marketing factors of delight and customer perceived quality to develop the model; second, applying the aforesaid model to discriminate customer delight in categories of gender as male delight and female delight. Design/methodology/approach In this endeavour, the authors examined the data collected from survey of Indian mobile users. In total ten perceived quality predictor variables are used to measure customer delight. Further, for identifying the difference in male delight and female delight, discriminant analysis is used. Findings The conceptual and empirical vantage point of study provides a framework to entrepreneurs emphasizing on male and female customers distinctly during marketing. Research limitations/implications The results are used to sketch the profile of male and female customer segment, and innovative applications are discussed for business success. Though proposed approach is limited to gender, mobile users still open the avenue for researchers to work on other demographic factors and product categories. Practical implications The theoretical underpinnings warrant practical applications of quality dimensions in telecom market for creation of customer delight. The present gender classification of customer delight will assist the entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs and product developers in developing the competitive business policy. Social implications The classification of male and female delight suggests the female segment of Indian telecom market is socially important and as similar to the male segment. Originality/value The study is a novel assessment of customer delight on gender quality perception contributing the newly explored concept of entrepreneurial marketing.

This study investigates whether cultural factors play a significant role in the low number of women in political positions in Cross River State of Nigeria. Stratified random sampling was used in this study for the purpose of separating the respondents into educated (HND/B.Sc. and above) and less educated. Responses from educated respondents were used in this study. Equal number of questionnaire was distributed to male and female respondents in each senatorial district. Data were collected by distributing 1223 questionnaire across the three senatorial districts of the state (407 the northern senatorial district, 408 in each of the south and central senatorial districts). Likert-scale ranking ( of 4, 3, 2, 1) was used in the questionnaire to measure the respondents views on how certain cultural views affect the number of women in political office holding duties. T-test statistical technique was used to analyze data obtained. It was found that culturally, women are deemed to be inappropriate for such duties, which account for their very low number in political office-holding duties considering their number in the population of Nigeria (about half of the population).

This article investigates how cultural factors might affect the employment of female immigrants to Europe. Cultural factors include the characteristics of individual women, their countries of origin in Africa, Asia and Latin America and the European regions where they reside. Data are from the European Social Survey (2002 to 2019) and various international organisations. Employment is predicted by educational level and religiosity, religious composition of the country of origin, and rates of unemployment in the region of residence. Less educated immigrants from Muslim countries have particularly low employment rates. Contrary to expectations, the employment of female immigrants seems unaffected by overall female employment rates in the region of residence, and correlation with female employment in the country of origin disappears when controlling for its religious composition. The findings for cultural factors are consistent with theories about transculturation and also with theories about religion and moral orders. They are less consistent with a standard acculturation model hitherto popular in the research literature.

The Impact

The financial reporting is considered to be a ‘universal’ language of business, the efforts to harmonize and standardize it are dictated by conviction, that the usefulness of financial and non-financial information delivered this way can be improved and might facilitate comparisons of companies operating around the world, etc. However, the real perception of information generated by financial statements is made by real people, not by the economic model of homo oeconomicus, that is why psychological and cultural factors are extremely important in the analysis of this process. There is a lack of comprehensive studies on this subject. Most of publications are contributory. The research is based on the critical review of the subject literature and using mostly the method of induction, the impact of selected cultural conditions on the formulation of expectations on the content of the financial statements is examined and proved. The example of Muslim countries is used as the beginning of series of articles in the taken subject. Keywords: accounting harmonization, cultural factors, decision-making, financial reporting, Islam.
