The pandemic further accelerated this shift, with more prospective students considering remote study options. This poses a challenge for universities in preparing faculty for online instruction, given that instructors often lack prior exposure to online learning. The emergence of generative AI, such as ChatGPT, introduces a new technological dimension, prompting concerns about academic integrity. The paper provides strategic and practical approaches and resources for teaching an asynchronous online MBA marketing strategy course, addressing common challenges faced by instructors. It offers valuable insights into course content, assignments, time management, and integrating generative AI in the course. It aims to help marketing and management educators proficiently develop and implement comparable courses, especially those transitioning from traditional to online instruction.","PeriodicalId":507672,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management and Strategy","volume":"110 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141001876","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}

{"title":"Exploring Digital Strategy as a Business Management and Transformation Tool in Developing Countries: The Nigerian Experience","authors":"C. Emelogu","doi":"10.5430/jms.v15n1p12","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5430/jms.v15n1p12","url":null,"abstract":"Despite valuable business opportunities and solutions that digital technologies offer, studies show that many business leaders have yet to explore the potential of digital solutions to manage and transform their businesses to capture more value. Through a semi-structured interview with business leaders and managers in Lagos, Nigeria, and content analysis, this paper explored how business leaders may leverage the potency of digital strategies to manage and transform business operations in developing nations like Nigeria to obtain more value. The result provided a distinctive insight into the dynamics around digital strategy adoption in business and the inclusive effects, evidencing that managing and transforming business operations in developing nations is achievable by adopting soft and hardware digital solutions at all levels of the business process. This paper advances the discussion on digital strategy adoption in business and recommends a paradigm shift of businesses in developing countries to a digitally evolved business construct to streamline processes, unlock new opportunities, and benefit from the potency of digital solutions. The paper underscores the government and other stakeholders' roles in driving digital strategy adoption in developing nations' businesses. The recommendation in this paper could be rewarding to influencing change in the process and management of business operations in developing nations, creating an opportunity for theoretical expansion and implementation of digital strategies for business management and transformation to achieve operational efficiency and sustainability objectives.","PeriodicalId":507672,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management and Strategy","volume":"22 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141004977","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}

{"title":"The Relationship Between Political Leader’s Personalities and Regional Social Governance Modernization","authors":"Dengke Yu, Lina Le","doi":"10.5430/jms.v14n2p75","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5430/jms.v14n2p75","url":null,"abstract":"The study aims to investigate the relationship between the personalities exhibited by party and government leaders and the modernization of regional social governance. It aspires to offer novel insights to empower the local governments of Chinese provinces, thereby assisting them in augmenting the modernization of social governance.Led by upper echelons theory, we proposed an analytical framework to explore the relationship. We firstly collected the texts of the activity reports of the leaders in 31 provinces of mainland China during the years 2018 to 2020. Their personalities were discerned through the application of Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling and principal component analysis. Integrating the dimensions of processes and outcomes, we then devised an evaluation system to assess the level of regional social governance modernization. The system underwent a comprehensive evaluation employing principal component analysis. Finally, we employed regression analysis and the Quadratic Assignment Procedure (QAP) regression analysis to quantitatively assess the effect of political leader’s personalities on the modernization level of regional social governance.According to our results, the personalities exhibited by political leaders could be classified into six dimensions, aligning with the framework proposed by Holland vocational interest theory. We revealed that the six types of personalities indeed exert influence on the modernization of regional social governance. However, compared to the effect of environmental factors such as economic conditions and the availability of skilled personnel, their explanatory power is relatively weaker. Among the identified personalities, the leaders displaying realistic and research-oriented personalities demonstrate a heightened capacity to yield substantial positive impacts on social governance modernization. Additionally, social personality also plays a discernible role in the context. Furthermore, the amalgamation of political leaders’ personalities illuminates a nuanced picture marked by moderate influence and intricate complexity.","PeriodicalId":507672,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management and Strategy","volume":"55 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139184691","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}

{"title":"Delegation of Managerial Power: A Modern Lever for Participative Management in Cameroonian SMEs","authors":"Joséphine Florentine Mbaduet","doi":"10.5430/jms.v14n2p59","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5430/jms.v14n2p59","url":null,"abstract":"The main aim of this study is to highlight how the manager transfers her power to a company employee, whether close to the management board or not, to carry out a certain number of tasks on her behalf. An analysis of the literature revealed that, on the one hand, the delegation of power is a form of participative management that has a more or less harmful influence on the company and certain stakeholders. On the other hand, it has been shown that the delegation of power engenders an agency relationship that is a source of conflicts of interest between the delegator and the delegatee, due to non-compliance with contractual clauses or the opportunism of the delegatee, who may use any means at his disposal to definitively oust the delegator and remain in his new position for a long time. This practice does exist within companies in Cameroon, although it is not clearly defined by OHADA law.","PeriodicalId":507672,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management and Strategy","volume":"1 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139244125","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}

Despite its uniqueness in the context of the new socialist rural society, this custom has become widely acknowledged among local residents. Our study, based on extensive field research, selected two adjacent villages in the Chao-Shan region (referred to as L Village and G Village) as case studies. We objectively analyzed the factors contributing to the formation of this tradition and its implications for contemporary rural governance. Applying the framework of the Nudge Theory, the research explored the practical application of flexible governance tools through a strategy of assistance in rural governance. In conclusion, this study provides policy recommendations for addressing such issues in rural governance, offering valuable insights to enhance the effectiveness of rural governance.","PeriodicalId":507672,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management and Strategy","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139352891","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}
