CSR is the obligation of businessmen to follow specific policies for making decisions or to do certain actions with the purpose of recognizing the need of society or any ethical factor to be followed in the entity. It is also for mangers to have responsibility for the public good, where that includes investigating whether the action is effective and contributes in promoting the public good and for advancing the basic societal beliefs to manage and contribute in its stability, harmony and strength. Corporate managers are normally appointed as being public trustees. The UAE offers insights into CSR because other Middle Eastern countries have not adopted the concept as quickly as the UAE. One indication of CSR in the UAE is its transparent firms. This article explores the current stage of CSR implementation in Arab countries, with special attention given to the UAE. An in-depth study was conducted to explore CSR implementation among local managers. Primary data from 198 questionnaires and case studies were analyzed to obtain valuable insights into the current state of CSR in the UAE. Key concepts are highlighted regarding the definition and practices of CSR in the UAE. Secondary data from both western and eastern cultures was also analyzed to examine the extent of adoption and adaptation of CSR and corporate philanthropy from multiple perspectives. Findings suggest all organizations, both local and multinational, must consider environmental and stakeholder interests in order to become global. Some confusion appears to exist between the concept of philanthropy and CSR. Some CSR highlighted by firms includes following regulations effectively and efficiently, adopting environmentally friendly business processes, organizing seminars, and creating awareness of the concept among peers. Although CSR is maturing in the Middle East, UAE firms need to improve CSR to compete with the practices that have become the CSR standard in western countries. In the last few years, governments and local organizations have strictly enforced business ethics and environmental regulations to support the growth of CSR in the country.

Notary is a public official who provides legal services to the public. Notary's Authorities are regulated in Article 16 paragraph (1) of Law Number 2 of 2014 on Amendment to Law Number 30 of 2004 on Position of Notary. Based on data of Directorate of General Criminal Investigation Metro Jaya in 2014 and 2017, the number of Notaries who were placed as suspects and witnesses of criminal acts and falsification were increased. It was because of the absence of obligation to prove appearer document authenticity as contained in Supreme Court Decree Number 702 K/Sip/1973, September 5, 1973. The research was sociological normative by testing the truth of deelneming criminal exception with secondary data, supported by primary data in the form of interviews, using non-random purposive sampling. Theory of lesser evil made Notary is excluded from deelneming claim in Article 55 of Criminal Code on documents falsification, as long as the Public Notary applies 2015 Law and Ethics Code, and ignores Supreme Court Decree Number 702 K/Sip/1973, September 5, 1973. Further, he continues to conduct his duties within a standard operating procedure for himself and related agencies when proving the documents in the form of minutes. Therefore, this exception principle in falsification is given conditionally. It applies to Notary if he can prove that he has conducted an act to prove appearer documents).

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to address how cultures could affect the way different people use the internet. The study showed that there is a great potential for e‐commerce in Egypt in particular and Arab world in general. However, there are many challenges, where people are used to paying cash for what they buy, the credit or debit card as an instrument for buying things is not readily acceptable by public Egyptians.Design/methodology/approachThis is an exploratory study based on analysing secondary data and observation. The reason for choosing this approach in this stage of research is the lack of research that deals with this particular issue in the chosen case study.FindingsThe results showed that e‐commerce has some merit in targeting global customers, if it considers cultural differences when adopting and applying global marketing strategy. Although there are many governmental initiatives to adopt ICT on all levels in Egypt, the reality still far behind and there is still a lot need to be done from both government and private sector to gain the benefits required. Research limitations/implications–Limitations include the use of secondary data and observation as the research method in this study. Empirical data and sampling will be required for further research. A comprehensive cross culture study among Arab countries and how a framework of culture could affect the online shopping behavior will be required for further research. Managerial implications are discussed with respect to formulating suitable marketing strategy to fit with the cultural differences of the Middle Eastern courtiers especially the language, values and religion.Originality/valueProvides insights for future researchers.

The past ten years (2010- 2020), an overwhelming number of buildings (forty-eight) have collapsed in Nigerian urban cities, with about 77% rise from the previous decade. To address this menace, the study aimed at exploring major causes of building collapse in Nigeria as perceived by building industry professionals, policy makers and the public; with a view of establishing effective ways for mitigation. The primary data were obtained from Questionnaires and field observations while secondary data were obtained from textbooks, Journal articles and newspapers.   The results revealed that factors such as change of use for building without following professional protocols is a major cause of building collapse. Poor supervision or lack of supervision by qualified professionals; substandard materials, structural failure; government controlling agency not monitoring projects and standards are compromised, a significant amount (27.7%) of collapse cases recorded during constructions. Other factors include faulty architectural and engineering designs; clients not ready to pay for quality jobs and contractors cut corners for profit. The study recommends use of Building Information Modelling to predict behaviour of buildings under various loading and environmental conditions. Also, only certified professionals should carry out design and supervision of projects. Further research should evaluate the role of technology on existing buildings to check the level of safety for occupants’ in such buildings.

<p>Penelitian dilakukan di sebuah perusahaan distribusi di Jakarta dengan melakukan pengukuran kinerja menggunakan <em>Balanced Scorecard</em> agar bisa menganalisa secara keseluruhan perspektif antara lain perspektif keuangan, pelanggan, proses bisnis, dan pembelajaran dan pertumbuhan. Metode penelitian adalah dengan <em>survey</em> lapangan, wawancara dan kuesioner. Permasalahan adalah penurunan penjualan perusahaan sejak tahun 2017. Teknik Pengumpulan data yang penulis lakukan adalah dengan penelitian lapangan, penelitian langsung pada objek yang diteliti. Data yang digunakan adalah data primer dan data sekunder. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa perusahaan dalam keadaan sehat, perspektif yang paling rendah adalah perspektif proses bisnis internal, walau perspektif lain dalam keadaan baik, namum tetap perlu adanya kemajuan berkelanjutan. Perusahaan perlu untuk menambahkan lini <em>product</em>, setidaknya menambah supplier baru , karena di perspektif ini sangat rendah dan membuat <em>bargaining power</em> dari <em>supplier</em> tinggi. Malah jika memungkinkan mulai untuk memulai brand sendiri. Melakukan penugasan kembali <em>job description</em> karena beberapa sistem sudah tidak sesuai dengan karyawan yang baru, harus di sesuaikan lagi dan perlu mengisi kursi- kursi yang memang kosong supaya tidak terlalu pembebanan di individu - individu tertentu. Saran dari penelitian ini ada beberapa hal yang harus diperhatikan disarankan penambahan <em>supplier,</em> <em>aftersales</em> lambat<em>,</em> harus adanya SOP yang lebih baik dan sistem <em>reward</em>.</p><p><strong>Kata Kunci:</strong> <em>Balanced Scorecard</em>, pengukuran kinerja, manajemen strategis</p><p> </p><p><em>The research was conducted at a distribution company in Jakarta by measuring performance using the Balanced Scorecard in order to analyze the overall perspective, including financial, customer, business process, and learning and growth perspectives. The research method is by field survey, interview and questionnaire. The problem is the decline in company sales since 2017. The data collection technique that the writer does is by field research, direct research on the object. The data used are primary data and secondary data. The results showed that the company is in good health, the lowest perspective is the perspective of internal business processes, although other perspectives are in good condition, there is still a need for continuous progress. Companies need to add product lines, at least add new suppliers, because in this perspective it is very low and makes the bargaining power of suppliers high. In fact, if possible start to start your own brand. Reassigning job descriptions because some systems are no longer suitable for new employees, have to be adjusted again and need to fill empty seats so as not to be too burdensome for certain individuals. The </em><em>suggestion</em><em> of this research is that there are several things that must be considered, suggesting additional suppliers, slow after sales sales, better SOP and reward system.</em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><em>: Balanced Scorecard, performance </em><em>analysis</em><em>, strategic management</em></p>
