The Cost

Information technology and advanced online environments have reduced the cost of these exchange activities and triggered the emergence of the sharing economy. Con-sequently, public attitude toward the sharing economy has gradually shifted from re-luctance to acceptance. Moreover, the sharing economy has revolutionized the busi-ness models and viewpoints of conventional industries, and sharing service providers have gradually shifted from an independent to a collaborative stance, thereby affect-ing conventional economies. This study interprets the phenomenon of cross-industry collaboration in the sharing economy through social exchange and social network the-ories. A multiple-case research framework is used to examine tourism and service in-dustries. Secondary data of service providers and users on sharing platforms are ana-lyzed using content analysis, supplemented with a content analysis of the interview data of three hotel executives. The varying phenomena of the conventional and shar-ing economies on social exchange and social network were compared. Finally, this paper proposes conclusions and practical recommendations according to the analytical results. JEL classification numbers: D85, M31, L14. Keywords: Cross-Industry Collaboration, Sharing Economy, Social Exchange, Social Network.

It is very important that we may propose solution that allow us to diminish the consumption of gas and oil to run our light vehicle fleet. In this sense, a good alternative to the oil-dependent vehicles are the electric vehicles, although, consumers are resistant in adopting the electric car. A solution that was identified is electric car sharing. Considering the importance of promoting and diffusion of electric car-sharing, this paper aims to present the characterization of such business models implemented around the world, by using secondary-data analysis from each observed case, employing an adapted version of Weiller and Neely (2013) characterization model. The current research is a descriptive and qualitative based multiple-case study. The population is of 20 electric-car sharing models, located in 14 different countries. It was observed that the cost reduction of batteries accompanies the reduction of electric-car ownership cost. Moreover, the characterized business models did not make it any easier for technological innovation. It was also noted that predominantly, the risks and costs of electricity are borne by the service providers (taxed); that models encourage change in customer behavior; and that the models are not advantageous for long distances, given the low autonomy of the vehicles and restrictions of reach of the companies. Results corroborate Bohnsack, Pinkse and Kolk (2014), as it observes services-oriented business models. However, regarding the fear of limited vehicle autonomy, reported by Egbue and Long (2012) and Lim, Mak and Rong (2014), business models are not being elaborated and executed in the sense of solving it, which can be indicated as a discouraging factor to use of shared vehicles.

Murabahah is a particular kind of sale that compliant with shariah. In this scheme, the seller expressly mentions the cost he/she incurred on the commodities for sale and sells it to another person by adding some profit thereon which is known to the buyer. It is one of the most popular modes used by Islamic banks. With its fixed margin, it offers the seller a more predictable income stream. This study aims to analyze the implications of the determination of the profit margin for the murabahah financing at an Islamic microfinance called Baitul Qiradh Amanah. Primary data was collected mainly through interviews and observation. The observation was conducted for about two months. During the observation process, co-researcher was directly involved as a trainee at the Baitul Qiradh. Interviews were conducted to clarify some unclear information that was obtained through observation. To strengthen the primary data, the secondary data is also utilized through books, magazines, and other studies. The secondary data is then compared with the findings from the field which is then analyzed using content analysis. The results showed that the profit margins in the initial of profit determination unilaterally bring both positive and negative implications for the clients and the Baitul Qiradh itself. The positive implication is (1) the Baitul Qiradh is able to predict its profit and (2) the clients are prevented from the risk of inflation or economic crisis. While the negative implications are (1) eliminating bargaining power of clients and (2) affect to customer satisfaction that leads to the decrease of the number of customers of the Baitul Qiradh. =========================================== Pembiayaan murabahah adalah jual beli barang pada harga pokok dengan tambahan keuntungan yang disepakati. Dalam skema ini, margin keuntungan biasanya ditetapkan di awal sebelum transaksi terjadi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis implikasi penetapan margin keuntungan pembiayaan pada sebuah lembaga keuangan mikro syariah, yaitu Baitul Qiradh Amanah. baik terhadap nasabah ataupun terhadap Baitul Qiradh itu sendiri. Data primer dikumpulkan dengan wawancara dan observasi. Observasi dilakukan selama lebih kurang dua bulan di mana salah seorang peneliti terlibat langsung sebagai trainee di Baitul Qiradh yang menjadi objek penelitian. Wawancara dilakukan untuk memperjelaskan hal-hal yang tidak bisa didapat melalui observasi. Di samping itu, untuk memperkuat data primer, peneliti juga mengumpulkan data sekunder melalui buku-buku, majalah, serta penelitian-penelitian lainnya. Data sekunder ini kemudian dibandingkan dengan temuan lapangan untuk kemudian dianalisis dengan cara content analysis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penetapan margin keuntungan di awal secara sepihak memunculkan implikasi positif maupun negatif baik terhadap nasabah atau Baitul Qiradh sendiri. Implikasi positifnya adalah jelasnya jumlah keuntungan yang didapat Baitul Qiradh dan menghindarkan nasabah dari risiko inflasi atau krisis ekonomi. Sedangkan implikasi negatif adalah menghilangkan daya tawar nasabah. Hal ini berimplikasi pada berkurangnya kepuasan nasabah untuk berurusan dengan Baitul Qiradh.

This study analyses the relationships between service capabilities and financial statements indicators of 76 U.K. service providers belonging to the Standard Industry Classification (SIC) 49410 (‘Freight transport by road’). These firms were clustered in four different groups according to their service capabilities by employing content analysis on open secondary data. Then, statistical tests were employed to analyse whether groups with different service capabilities differ in key financial statements indicators. As the results show, economic-financial indicators (e.g., turnover) do not vary significantly between the groups, whereas differences arise in the number of employees and other asset-related indicators. It follows from these results that within the same SIC code, the various assortments of service capabilities do not have repercussions on the firms’ profitability; on the other hand, these assortments are correlated with firms’ size and infrastructure (e.g., magnitude of the Stock & W.I.P.). This research develops a heuristic approach using open secondary data to identify and classify service capabilities, and to investigate their relationship with financial statements indicators. This approach can be replicated in other business sectors thus supporting managers in identifying their firm’s capabilities and those of their competitors.

This study intended to use the film Mona Lisa Smile (1993) as an example to examine how women in the traditional generation of 1950 were gender stereotyped and used to trade themselves off through marriage in consideration of a cost-and-benefit analysis. However, as the change of women’s gender consciousness from the conservative to the feminist in the USA of 1950, women began to realize their potential and subjectivity, hence questing for liberal spirit and autonomy to choose their career and husbands based on love. The researchers used the qualitative method, with both the primary and secondary data, to facilitate a latent-content analysis. After conducting a content analysis of the film and the script of Mona Lisa Smile, the researchers took notes regarding gender stereotyping and conventional gender norms in social interactions and conducted a literature review of Becker’s side bet theory and Homan’s social exchange theory to investigate how women in America in the 1950s were disciplined to meet the expectation of social norms to fit the notion of conventional matrimony, and how people, both men and women, while choosing their mates, seek the maximum interest and minimum cost. The film Mona Lisa Smile lets readers have a chance to see the transformation of a marital relationship from the old days to modern ones. With raised gender consciousness, women may now subject their choices to their own will and, hence, apply a different definition to the word “marriage.”

Objective - This article aims to examine the relationship in the social network of Thai student labourers or special migrants known as “Thai-Aus labourers”, who are studying and working in Sydney, Australia. Methodology/Technique – Data was collected via in-depth interviews with 18 key Thai-Aus labourers in Sydney, Australia. These key informants were selected using the snowball technique. Content analysis was performed with the data based on the ATLAS.ti programme, and the social networks were analysed using the Ucinet and Netdraw programme. Finding – The results conclude that the relationships within the social networks of the Thai-Aus labourers were complex, although they each shared the same goal. The relationships were principally based on benefit exchange even though personal relationships appeared on the surface. Novelty - The directional flow in the pattern of benefit-giving and receiving, and the duration, did not affect relationships, which depended more on personal cases. Type of Paper: Empirical.

This study focused on social networks and business performance among Igbo businessmen in Ibadan, South-west Nigeria through the exploratory research design. Social exchange, social network and social capital theories were employed as theoretical framework. Twenty-six in-depth interviews, key informant interviews and case studies were conducted with purposively selected respondents in four business locations in Ibadan. The results showed that among the factors that facilitated migration of the Igbo to Ibadan were their interest to learn a trade, their inability to attain higher education, and having a relative in Ibadan. The types of social networks available showed that social network was not location bound, as all the respondents belonged to town progressive unions and mutual benefits/cooperative associations. Social networks played vital roles in business performance, including social support, access to loan, business growth and expansion. The main challenges to maintaining adequate social network in business were distrust, envy, unbridled competition, dishonesty and inability to keep terms of agreement. The study concludes that social networks have positively influenced the business performance of migrant Igbo in Ibadan. There is need for the Igbo to strengthen their social networks through honesty, forthrightness, and transparency in all their dealings.

Patient And Provider Perspectives

BACKGROUND Queueing patients on waiting lists is a common practice to manage access to rehabilitation services. To increase fairness and equity in access, a strategy emerging from the literature is patient prioritization. The goal is for patients with the greatest needs to be treated first and for patient wait times to be determined objectively on the basis of explicit criteria. Selecting criteria, however, is a complex task because it is important to simultaneously consider the objectives of all stakeholders. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare service users’ and service providers’ perspectives regarding patient prioritization criteria in two rehabilitation programs. METHODS We conducted a multiple case study in two rehabilitation programs at the Centre intégré universitaire de santé et de services sociaux de la Capitale-Nationale in Quebec City (Canada), i.e. a driving evaluation program (DEP) and a compression garment manufacturing program (CGMP). We sent a web-based survey asking two groups (patients and providers) of informed stakeholders to individually produce a set of criteria. We then conducted an inductive thematic analysis where each group’s individual answers were coded and combined in a single set of criteria. RESULTS Stakeholders from the DEP identified a total of 22 criteria to prioritize patients while those from the CGMP listed 27 criteria. Providers shared 76% of the criteria mentioned by patients. Some criteria, such as age, occupation, functional level, pain, absence of caregiver, and time since referral, were considered important by both stakeholders in both programs. CONCLUSIONS Patients and providers tended to have similar opinions about a majority of the criteria to prioritize patients in waitlists. Nonetheless, our study confirms that patients and providers base their choices on different types of knowledge and values, which explains some of the differences observed. Taking into consideration the opinions of all stakeholders concerning prioritization criteria is an important part of the decision-making process, based on a multiple constituency approach.
