Perturbed by many corporate scandals, the shareholders are now adopting responsible investing as their common investment approach. Thus, this has made shareholder activism on the rise. This phenomenon has attracted many corporate governance scholars and policy makers. Through relational investing method, such as private meetings and negotiations shareholder activism flourishes. Shareholder activism is purported as one of the corporate governance issues that the management and the board of directors have to seriously take into consideration while implementing corporate governance practices in their establishments. Based on the shareholder activism literature review, the essential components are identified, thus, the suggested factors are integrated into shareholder activism overall process of shareholder activism in order to gain its effectiveness. Shareholder activism will be more effective if the two parties involved in the process aware of their corporate governance roles and the roles are being assimilated into the suggested model. The factors have been identified in the corporate governance literature, specifically on shareholder activism and the conceptual process model has been developed to model the interactions of the all the factors during shareholder activism takes place. The action in the process is an integral of determining the success of shareholder activism in influencing the behaviour of the targeted companies. This paper suggests the use of external consultants and the right channel and follow-ups as additional factors to the process model in ensuring the effectiveness of shareholder activism.","PeriodicalId":163324,"journal":{"name":"Labuan Bulletin of International Business and Finance (LBIBF)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134529300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The S&P 500 index is also included to capture its influence on these stock markets. The procedures performed include the unit root test, ARDL bounds test for cointegration, estimations of long-run coefficients and error correction model (ECM). For Bursa Malaysia, the results reveal that the sectoral indices of Finance, Property, Technology, Construction, Industrial Product, Plantation, Trading/Services and Consumer Product are cointegrated with the macroeconomic variables. For Hong Kong Stock Exchange (SEHK), the findings confirm the existence of cointegration between the stock index and macroeconomic variables only for the Finance, Properties and Construction, Information and Technology, Industrials, Materials, Consumer Goods and Conglomerates sectors. The magnitude and significance of the macroeconomic variablesâ€™ influences vary across sectors and are different between the two stock markets. Specifically, the long run influence of macroeconomic variables on sectoral stock indices is in overall more significant in Malaysia than in Hong Kong, suggesting that the SEHK is more efficient with respect to the influence of macroeconomic information.","PeriodicalId":163324,"journal":{"name":"Labuan Bulletin of International Business and Finance (LBIBF)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116429467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The evolution in beauty and personal care industry offers more opportunity for small businesses in marketing personal care and cosmetics products. There is an increasing number of nail salons providing manicures and pedicures services as well as nail art in the city; mostly in middle to high-end shopping malls, business centres or standalone nail salon in commercial shop lots. The consumers are mostly influenced by heavy advertising, for instance advent of K-pop and K-drama, marketing activities and growing trends of chasing beauty. The beauty industry or more specifically the nail care segment is highly fragmented due to various customers with different needs and wants pertaining to service levels, product categories and pricing. Hence, innovative marketing will become an important tool to success. The conventional marketing strategies are no longer effective as the businesses are propelled by the advancement of technology and change in social factors. The departure of conventional marketing strategies is necessary for the vendor to open new market segment and to increase sales. This study will explore the innovative marketing strategies in nail salon through case study method. The study also aims to discover on how the vendor overcome the challenges faced in this industry.

One of the social returns of human capital investment is an increase in productivity that leads to economic growth. This paper studies the contribution of human capital investment towards productivity. In particular, we quantify contribution of different levels of education to productivity growth at industry level in Malaysia during 2005 to 2012. The Arellano-Bond (1991) approach that uses the longitudinal data, produces efficient and reliable estimates in our case. We find that at aggregate level, primary, secondary, and tertiary education levels are all important in terms of its contribution to productivity. The more specific industry analysis however shows that primary education does not play a significant role in productive industries, whereas it is as important as any other level of education in low productive industries. We also study the impact of National Higher Education Strategic Plan (NHESP) 2007 policy during our sample period on productivity growth and subsequent policy change in 2009 due to change in the regime.","PeriodicalId":163324,"journal":{"name":"Labuan Bulletin of International Business and Finance (LBIBF)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126808787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
