    Objectives: This study was designed to analyze entrepreneurial competency and enhance college students' abilities in innovation and entrepreneurship. Methods: Ten relevant factors were summarized based on the interview records. Relevant data were collected through questionnaires and tested for reliability and validity. The effectiveness of the ten factors on entrepreneurial competency was tested using the regression analysis method. Then, an analytic hierarchy process model of entrepreneurial competency was established to calculate the relevant weights. Findings: The data collected from the survey questionnaire had sufficient reliability and validity. The ten relevant factors were effective in developing entrepreneurial competence. The weight distribution in the analytic hierarchy model indicated that entrepreneurial knowledge was most important, followed by entrepreneurial ability, and intrinsic potential was least significant. Novelty:The novelty of this article lies in not only verifying the effectiveness of relevant factors through regression analysis but also further analyzing the weight of these factors through an analytic hierarchy process. Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2023-04-04-011 Full Text: PD

    Establish and improve the venture investment and financing system is an important issue of economic growth in China. By reference to the stakeholder theory, we select first grade assessment indicators including government policy factor, financial institutions factor, intermediary service factor, enterprises factor and other factors (risk investment funds, insurance funds, private capital) and second grade assessment indicators. The evaluation index system was constructed to the venture investment and financing system of China. We analyze new ventures in Anhui incubation base by AHP method and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. The results show that: The intermediary service system performed quite well in the evaluation, while government factor, financial institutions factor, enterprises factor and other factors perform poorly. So the overall performance of the system is in mediocre level. Finally some relevant recommendations are put forward to optimize the venture investment and financing system

    The aims of this study to reveal (1) the description of characteristic vocational teacher, (2) the criterion competency, (3) the account of important competency, (4) the description of actual competency performance, (5)the identification of competency gaps, (6) the determination of training priority order, (7) the recommendations regarding with training methods and training organizerThis study employed a mixed method with exploratory sequential combination. The research subjects comprised the Vocational Technical Teachers with ICT expertise program especially for Network and Computer Engineering expertise competence. This study devised competency needs for training program incorporating Training Needs Analysis. The data were collected through FGD, questionnaires and an interview guide. The data were analysed using Fuzzy Delphi method to determine criterion competency by screening process. Analytic Hierarchy Process method was conducted for determining the important competency. 360-degree rater as evaluation teaching performance. Importance Performance Analysis diagram were used for describing the competency gaps. The determination of Training Priority Order based on quadrant in IPA diagram. The results of this study showed that: (1) Vocational teachers from multiple expertise program are still lack of ICT knowledge and practice mastery especially in network engineering field because they had no ICT educational background. They still look confused and nervous in teaching and practicing in front of the class. (2) criterion competency consists of pedagogy-andragogy aspect with 11 domain areas and 34 sub-domain, professional aspect with 3 domain areas and 7 sub-domain, vocational aspect with 3 domain areas and 8 sub-domain and technology aspect with 4 domains. (3) the order of importance in terms of competency aspect is pedagogy-andragogy with weight of 0.466, vocational around 0.300, professional with weight of 0.172, technology approximately 0.063. (4) the lowest performance in pedagogy-andragogy aspect is ability in guidance and supervision internship program with 3.19 total performance, Whereas in professional aspect is the competency in application of vocational content with 3.35 total performance, in vocational aspect is competency in networking and collaboration with 2.82 total performance and In technology aspect is ability using and utilizing ICT for self-development with 3.56 total performance. (5) the competency gaps fall into the vocational knowledge & skills, application of content, content knowledge, networking and collaboration, continuing professionalism development and entrepreneurship. (6) TPO based on competencies needs has described in IPA diagram most of training needs is located in vocational and professional aspect. (7) In House Training, specific training, and short courses training were recommended as effective training methods. The training organizers may come from P4TK BMTI, P4TK BOE, Private Institutions, Universities/LPTK, Industry.:CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Research Background B. Problem Identification C.

    The application of analytic hierarchy process in higher learning institutions: a literature review

    Get PDF
    In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) in the educational sector. However, little effort has been invested in reviewing its application particularly in higher learning institutions (HLIs). As such, this paper attempts to present a thorough literature review of the applications of the AHP in this context. It was observed that 33 articles of AHP application in HLIs were published in the period of 1992-2013. These identified articles were classified according to the publication year, country of origin, integrated techniques that were simultaneously utilised with AHP and also the HLI areas wherein the AHP was applied. The study observed that few articles were published in the period from the 1990’s to the early 2000’s. However, the number of papers has recently increased, especially after 2010, due to recognition of its effectiveness as a decision-making tool in HLIs. The AHP was widely applied in the USA (18 articles) followed by Taiwan, Turkey and India which emerged with three articles each. It is also noted that Quality Function Deployment and Kano model were techniques commonly integrated with AHP by previous researchers. Application of the AHP was dominantly applied in measuring quality education of HLIs (6 articles), faculty member evaluation (6 articles) as well as measuring performance (5 articles). Other areas wherein the AHP was applied include strategic planning, university selection and selection of university majors
