Exploring How Environmental and Personal Factors Influence Knowledge Sharing Behaviour Leads to Innovative Work Behaviour in Vietnamese Higher Education Institutions

The Vietnamese Government has been struggling to build a higher education system that is innovative to the requests of national knowledge-based development. It is essential to explore knowledge sharing behaviour (KSB) from environmental and individual perspectives. It can help to contribute to innovative work behaviour (IWB) towards knowledge-based development initiatives, in particular regarding the phenomenon of knowledge sharing (KS) in Vietnamese higher education institutions (HEIs). The aim of this research-in-progress is to propose a research model based on social cognitive theory (SCT) that comprises environmental factors (subjective norms, trust), personal factors (knowledge self-efficacy, rewards, reciprocity), KSB and IWB. We advance to conduct a survey to examine our proposed conceptual model. It is expected that this research will contribute to the deeper understanding of the effects of personal and environmental factors and KSB on IBW within Vietnamese HEIs

Internationalization, Market Forces, and Domestic Sectoral Institutionalization

This paper investigates the influence of micro environmental international entrepreneurship and the macro-environmental market forces on domestic institutionalization of the industrial sector. In doing so, the paper examines the moderating effect of the degree of internationalization on the relationship between domestic market forces and domestic sectoral institutionalization

Re-Engineering a Financial Information Supply Chain with XBRL: An Exploratuon of Cooperative IOS Deisgn and Development

Financial markets worldwide have been experiencing dramatic changes since the mid-1990s. It has been claimed that XBRL, an XML vocabulary for business reporting, is capable of introducing greater integration and transparency into financial information systems, and thus addressing some of the challenges presented by these changes. This paper presents an exploratory case study of the cooperative design, development and implementation of an XBRL-enabled inter-organisational system (IOS) by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA), the Reserve Bank of Australia (central bank) and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to revolutionise reporting by financial institutions in Australia. The study describes how the three agencies modernised and harmonised reporting requirements through a gradual review of the reporting returns required by each agency. This harmonisation enabled the reengineering of the reporting process, as each financial institution now has to submit just one set of figures to meet the needs of all three agencies. The findings illustrate that the complexity of data consumption patterns drove increased interdependence within the financial information supply chain requiring the co-operative development of context sensitive data exchanges and commodity-like IT infrastructures. The paper concludes that the co-operative approach to IOS development exhibited in this study is likely to be more suited to the development of XBRL-enabled systems for financial information supply chains than the ‘hub and spoke’ model characteristic of IOS developments in other industrial sectors

Function and Dysfunction in Post-Conflict Justice Networks and Communities

The field of post-conflict justice includes many well-known international criminal law and rule of law initiatives, from the International Criminal Court to legal reform programs in Afghanistan and Iraq. Less visible, but nonetheless vital to the field, are the international staff (known as internationals) who carry out these transitional justice enterprises, and the networks and communities of practice that connect them to each other. By sharing information, collaborating on joint action, and debating proposed legal rules within their networks and communities, internationals help to develop and implement the core norms and practices of post-conflict justice. These modes of collaboration are particularly important because the field\u27s fundamental norms and practices are still evolving dramatically. But at times, these networks and communities are dysfunctional. Then, internationals\u27 ability to engage in robust dialogue and work together is compromised, to the detriment of the effectiveness of their work and the maturation of the field as a whole. In examining these issues, this Article draws on a series of interviews with internationals who have worked in post-conflict justice

The localisation of linkages to promote socio-economic development in the Namibian mining sector

Mini Dissertation (LLM (Extractive Industry Law in Africa))--University of Pretoria, 2022.The Namibian government, through its 5th National Development Plan (‘NDP5’) and the Ministry of Mines and Energy Strategic Plan of 2017/2018 – 2021/2022, seeks to localise linkages in the Namibian mining sector to drive socio-economic development. The Mineral Beneficiation Strategy for Namibia Abridged Promotion Version, reveals that the Namibian government is concerned that it has not reached its full potential in converting mineral endowments into socio-economic development across the country for Namibians. Given the Namibian government’s plan and other indicators, it is plausible that the new and existing linkages that stem from Namibia’s mining sector has more socio-economic development potential therefore this study aims to examine the local content policies (‘LCPs’) that affects the facilitation of linkages in Namibia’s mining sector in light of promoting the socio-economic development of Namibians.University of PretoriaPublic LawLLM (Extractive Industry Law in Africa)Unrestricte
