Investigation on influence factors of high impact practices

The purpose of the study is to examine the impact factors of 11 high impact practices (HIPs) of the Association of American Colleges and Universities to identify their influences on the learning experience of college students. A research model is developed based on the theory of planned behaviour to link beliefs of high impacts to the practice of learning behaviours. Structure equation modelling analysis was conducted on the performance metrics of 11 American universities from 2014-2021. Findings indicate that undergraduate research can predict the success of other high-impact practices in Florida. The results will guide administrators in higher education to make financial decisions with a reference to factors of high impact practices. Theoretical and practical implications are also presented.Journal ArticlePublishe

Development of tactical solutions for the e-credit card issuing industry

Purpose – This paper aims to develop a set of tactical electronic business solutions for the electronic credit card issuing industry. Design/methodology/approach – Specifically, a strategic credit card issuing (SCCI) model is developed to analyze e-business in the credit card issuing industry. Second, a set of tactical solutions is derived on the basis of the SCCI model. Third, pattern analysis is conducted on the basis of data collected from dominant credit card issuing companies to further investigate the implementation status on these electronic business solutions in the credit card issuing industry. Findings – The findings show that three categories of electronic business solution items can be classified. The average variability of electronic business implementation patterns for business-to-business, business-to-customer and business-to-internal in each company shows a variety of electronic business strategies implemented by these dominant companies. Originality/value – The results will help managers and executives when they make strategic and tactical decisions on electronic business in the credit card issuing industry.Journal Articl
