The innovative activity of HEI depends on both internal and external factors. Today, more and more emphasis is placed on innovative ecosystems, in which the HEI acts as one of the active actors in cooperation with business, government, public and private organizations. The research case study paper explores and compares the approaches development of regional innovation ecosystem of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT) Innovation and Entrepreneurship Teaching initiative, as well as an assessment of its impact on the results of this particular innovation method at the HCT. The case study reveals on the topic of using and adapting 3D printing technologies in the field of education. 3D printing technologies can be applied to teach technological skills in different fields, including the field of education. They also contribute to the reorientation of attention from the digital or virtual environment to the real world, since the results of educational activities are not sketches and models, but real objects with given characteristics. 3D printing technologies are among the fastest growing and promising technologies. These technologies can significantly contribute to the introduction of new forms of organization of the educational process, increase motivation and the formation of the necessary competencies of learners, graduates and teaching faculties. The objective of this paper is to review the basic issues related to 3D printing technology initiative as a process of technological transition though integrating the technological innovation into the educational ecosystem and measuring its impact on students. The paper elaborates this practical showcase experience through a case study of ‘Al Ibtikar’ – Innovation and Entrepreneurship Club at HCT to provide empirical support for similar industrial and education players to better predict the innovation trajectory through 3D technologies in the future. In this way, the research presents a conceptual framework that provides a foundation for discussing 3D technology and discover a development prediction of 3D printing technology in the lens of using this practice in the educational process.","PeriodicalId":224800,"journal":{"name":"Sumerianz Journal of Business Management and Marketing","volume":"260 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117099280","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}

Arokiasamy, Tamah Alice","doi":"10.47752/sjbmm.43.91.104","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47752/sjbmm.43.91.104","url":null,"abstract":"Specifically, this research paper aims to provide a more detailed understanding of how transformational leadership can influence employee’s morale and attrition intentions, using the exploration of job satisfaction and organizational size as a moderator. The survey included 652 employees from sixteen MNCs operating in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Data was analyzed using AMOS software package version 24.0. The results have shown that transformational leadership has a positive impact on work engagement and work engagement has a mitigating effect on turnover. In addition, it suggests that job commitment influences the connection between transformational leadership and the employee’s desire to make a transition. This study’s result will benefit the managers who wish to reduce employee turnover by leveraging on the transformational leadership style of management. In larger organizational settings, empirical evidence supports this theory. Both theories were afforded empiric support. Discussions, conceptual and administrative consequences, shortcomings, and potential guidance are also presented.","PeriodicalId":224800,"journal":{"name":"Sumerianz Journal of Business Management and Marketing","volume":"142 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124505017","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}

A two years trial was conducted in in Ovia North East LGA, Edo State, Nigeria (Latitude 6.636oN, 6.909oN and Longitude 6.182oE, 6.364oE) to evaluate the effect of NPKMg fertilizer and interplanted cassava on growth and yield of plantain in oil palm based system. The treatment consisted of NPKMg fertilizer as the main block treatment (with and without NPKMg fertilizer) and crop combinations [oil palm/plantain (OPP) and oil palm/plantain/cassava (OPPC)] as sub block treatments. The treatments were laid out in split block arrangement in RCBD replicated thrice. Data were collected on plantain plant height, number of leaves/pseudostem, leaf area index, number of suckers/pseudostem, number of days to 50% flowering of main psuedostem and first ratoon plants, number of days to first appearance of peeper sucker from main pseudostem, number of leaves at flowering from main pseudostem and first ratoon plants, finger weight (kg/bunch), finger circumference/finger (cm), finger length/finger (cm), number of fingers/bunch, biomass weight (t/ha), number of bunches/ha and bunch yield (t/ha). NPKMg fertilizer significantly increased (p<0.05) the growth and number of sucker produced. Plantain planted in OPP combination had taller plant and more number of suckers (first ratoon plant and second ratoon plant, respectively) relative to those in OPPC combination while plantain planted in OPPC combination lead to delayed appearance of peeper suckers, delayed fruiting of plantain and resulted to 18, 15.8, 1.6, 6, 8.3 and 12 % increase (p<0.05) in plantain bunch weight, finger weight, finger circumference, finger length, number of fingers and biomass weight, respectively relative to those in oil palm/plantain (OPP) combination.","PeriodicalId":224800,"journal":{"name":"Sumerianz Journal of Business Management and Marketing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130487589","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}

It used monthly time series data from the central bank of Nigeria (CBN) website (www.cbn.gov.ng) from 2017-2020 This period was chosen to capture the effects of changes in oil price on the performance of the Nigerian stock market within the context of the global economic challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The auto-regressive distributed lag ARDL approach has been applied in the model specification and data analysis for the study. The results of the ARDL in both the short and long run revealed that the recent crude oil price shock has a significant impact on stock market performance in Nigeria. The results of the granger causality test also reveal a unidirectional causality from crude oil price to stock market performance with a piece of evidence from the current decline of global crude oil prices from December 2019 to April 2020. The study, therefore, suggests the need for the Nigerian capital market to continue to pursue with vigor the implementation of the capital market master plan in the hope that a more developed capital market should be able to absorb external shocks such as those arising from crude oil price fluctuations.","PeriodicalId":224800,"journal":{"name":"Sumerianz Journal of Business Management and Marketing","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129128949","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}

It has evolved from hamlets of the primitive era of civilization, through village clusters, micro-cities, cities to urban centers. The dynamics of change has been constant in the evolutionary trend of civilization, and of the growth of cities. The only deviation in the narrative of globalization and urbanization is that the developed cities of western world have always served as the case studies. This could be attributed to the fact that the West for example, laid better technological foundations that helped in the realization of their city development plans. The catch-up game has been the order of the day with African countries and cities. In examining the effects of a globalized and urbanized world, and its attendant security implications in Africa, this chapter, as a point of departure focuses on the technological dimension of this problem.","PeriodicalId":224800,"journal":{"name":"Sumerianz Journal of Business Management and Marketing","volume":"142 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132795467","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 optimum design of manufacturing flows requires the creation of appropriate conditions for the constructive and technological realization of the products. Thus, in the design of the various products, the manufacturing flow must be designed so that they can be processed in the superior conditions by using the type constructions for different parts or semi-products, unifying and typing the parts. On the basis of these conditions, the technological design of the manufacturing process is carried out, providing for the concrete forms of the technological process under the conditions of the organization of the manufacturing flow.","PeriodicalId":224800,"journal":{"name":"Sumerianz Journal of Business Management and Marketing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134019670","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}
