A Study Of The Effect Of Globalisation On The Malaysian Film Production Industry., Herwina Rosnan

Student Works (2010-2019)

Studies on the effects of globalisation are extensive. However, the existing literature concerning the effects of globalisation on the film production industry has been largely the interest of scholars from cultural studies, media and/or communications fields of study. Much of their concerns pertain to the spread of cultural homogeneity and the effects of culture, particularly that of film consumption, on citizens or local audiences. Although cultural industries have become one of the most dynamic emerging sectors in world trade studies, many developing countries have not given fair attention to their film industries due to the priority given to other sectors. …

It reviews the tension from the perspective of management scholarship and themes found in Biblical theology. The exploration reviews some of the issues that Christian leaders face as they attempt to manage this tension. It concludes by offering implications for leadership education.

Conditioning The Capital Asset Pricing Model To Incorporate Macro-Economic Based Variables, Maria Casandra Rusti

Whittier Scholars Program

Time variations in expected returns are related to the business cycle. Evidence shows that expected returns are higher in economic recessions, since investors are less willing to hold risky assets, and lower in economic booms. This suggests that time variations in equity premiums should be accounted for by variables related to the business cycle. Being able to model equity premiums helps investors optimize their portfolios. Therefore, we develop a conditioning macroeconomic variable that captures time variation in risk premium across business cycles and we test its predictive power for future market returns. More specifically we look at the following macro-economic …

Faculty Publications - College of Business

The strategy to improve business results through globalization has become increasingly common. Success in reaping the business value intended from a globalization strategy is, unfortunately, not as common. As national boundaries blur and everyone grows more connected through global collaboration, the dynamics of organizational life grow more complex. These complexities offer challenge, confusion, and frustration – but also great opportunity! The key to achieving improved business results does not hinge on strategies alone, but also on our ability to effectively lead global product and service development teams to successfully execute the strategies. Those struggling the most are the practitioners who …

The Relationship Of Integration And Automation Under An Uncertain Environment: A Sem Model, Qiang Tu, Kun Liao, Yulong Li

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Business

Under a uncertain environment (i.e., growing global competition, changing customer demand, shorter product life cycles, and increasing market diversity), two manufacturing strategies often emerge: manufacturing technology automation and manufacturing system integration. Existing case studies indicate that firms should adapt manufacturing integration first and then automate the manufacturing system to improve manufacturing performance. Using 288 responses from manufacturing managers, the findings of this study empirically supports this proposition. Analytical results also show that the combination strategies of manufacturing system integration followed by manufacturing technology automation have more than twice the effect on manufacturing performance than using manufacturing automation strategy alone.
