Title: Retailer pricing strategy: diffuse coupons effects contingent on store format
Abstract: Retail promotion strategies have become an increasingly prominent topic of research due to innovations aimed at helping the management attract customers to their online and offline sales channels. Various promotional and technology tools are being tested to select the ones that will facilitate multi-channel sales. Stores no longer use the model ?the same price for everyone? because sophisticated marketing software enables pricing to be tailored to customers with a view to keeping them engaged. Special offer and discount coupons (i.e. POS coupons, FIS and e-coupons) have become a vital part of the retail pricing strategy and a widely used promotional tool in which retailers invest significant marketing resources to create a competitive effect. The paper sets out the concept of promotion pricing and identifies the role of diffuse promotional coupons designed to help retailers attain their marketing and profitability goals. An empirical analysis is performed to determine the effects of coupons in a dynamic Every-Day-Low-Prices (EDLP) strategy employed by a large retail chain using a customer basket records. A univariate statistical analysis (GLM) is carried out to analyse cart data from nearly 25,000 transactions recorded in the course of one year in seven stores. The results of the analysis reveal the effects of most common three types of coupons on basket operational profitability in different store format context. The empirical results obtained from this research and insights gained into the effects of this type of promotion can help retail managers form reasonable expectations regarding the introduction of coupons in retail chain organizations.

Title: Activity-Based Costing of Library Services in Universities ? A Case Study of a Private University
Abstract: An organization's costing system is a system that helps the management with the strategy planning while the system plays an important role in providing accurate cost information about the products and customers. In other words, the costing management system is important to provide timely and quality information to help managers in their decision making process. Producing quality graduates is the main objective of any university and the cost of quality or the cost of poor quality is one that is often difficult to measure in higher education. This can be partly attributed to the fact that most accounting systems are not structured to capture important cost-of-quality information. In order to succeed, many organizations tend to shift from conventional or traditional costing system to Activity-Based Costing (ABC). ABC provides both higher education administrators and policymakers with better information on which to base decisions. The approach provides information to universities that could help them in better projections and forecasting. Not only that, this approach provides information on different activities and identifies the high cost areas and high impact activities that can help administrators in decision making process. The use of multiple cost pools and drivers under ABC leads to more detailed and accurate product costing than that provided by traditional cost systems. The individual activities become the central cost focus with the assigning of costs to activities based on the way in which the resources are consumed by the activities. Managers can then determine whether certain activities are necessary or whether they can be eliminated. Only services that are value adding are maintained while nonvalue-adding services can be eliminated, resulting in cost savings for the universityAlthough not trained as accountants, library managers rely on accounting information for strategic planning and operational decision-making. Increased demands for institutional accountability, with university performance and costs under increased scrutiny, place library managers under increased pressure to maintain quality services while faced with decreased funding and tighter budgets. A commitment to greater efficiency requires an understanding of cost behavior. Considering that there is no evidence of the costing systems in universities in the Kingdom of Bahrain, this paper attempts to investigate the possibilities and limitations of implementing ABC in the Royal University for Women. More specifically the paper discusses the benefits of ABC to library managers and explains the steps involved in implementing ABC in an academic library.

Title: Determinants and Impact on Job Satisfaction
Abstract: Job satisfaction refers to the level at which employees possess a positive affective orientation towards their employment in an organization. The emotional reaction may result from the current comparison of actual outcomes with those desired by the employee in question. Job satisfaction has been considered as a core element in organizational behavior. This is especially due to its direct co-relationship with job motivation and performance which directly impact an organization?s success in goals achievement. Besides, its effect on other organizational aspects, such as group cohesion, has made it critical to organization?s operations. Therefore, every effort taken by the management aims at lowering the level of job dissatisfaction in the workplace.This paper considers the subject of job satisfaction in details as it applies to the employees from Abu Dhabi. The aim is to identify the determinants of job satisfaction from the data collected from these employees in addition to the available scientific literature on the subject. To this effect, the paper will offer recommendations on the best strategies and approaches for reducing or eliminating job dissatisfaction in the workplace. As such, this will raise job satisfaction and help the organization achieve its corporate goals.

Title: Evaluating performance of accounting information systems using a fuzzy logic approach
Abstract: The study constructs an approach based on the fuzzy logic approach (analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and analytic network process (ANP)) and balanced scorecard (BSC) for evaluating (AISs) performance in the government financial management information system (GFMIS) in Jordan. The (BSC) concept is applied to define the (AHP) and (ANP) with four major perspectives (i.e. financial, customer, internal business process, and learning and growth), and key performance indicators (KPIs) are selected for each perspective. A fuzzy logic approach is then proposed in order to tolerate vagueness and ambiguity of information. A fuzzy logic approach (AISs) is finally constructed to facilitate the solving process. The results provide guidance to (AISs) in the (GFMIS) in Jordan regarding strategies for improving (AISs) performance. The constructed approach is suggested to be a good tool for solving other multiple-criteria decision-making problems.

Title: Strategic Resource Mobilization for Entrepreneurial Financing (A review of impediments for growth   of women owned MSMEs in Kenya).
Abstract: Strategic Resource Mobilization for Entrepreneurial Financing(A review of impediments for growth   of women owned MSMEs in Kenya).Ambrose Jagongo, PhD, Kenyatta University - Kenya  AbstractThis study examined factors that affect resource mobilization for growth of women ? owned MSMEs. It was based on the socio - economic cognitive entrepreneurial predisposition, aimed at discerning the complexities between the women entrepreneurship potentials and environmental constraints to resources for growth of the MSMEs.  Resource mobilization is an apparent phenomenon in this study having been the bedrock to MSMEs financing in developing economies today. Many women ? owned MSMEs have received financial and other assistance from various donors to start their business, but their inability to reduce reliance on external sources to grow had remained unexplained. The study hypothesized that the main constraints to resource mobilization for growth of women owned MSMEs arose from internal and external factors to the firm, the utilization of derived profits, and the characteristics of the woman entrepreneurs. The target population consisted of women entrepreneurs who had received assistance from the WEDCO project (3030), in Kisumu and Kakamega counties in Kenya. The sample size was determined through a multistage sampling process which culminated into 300. Questionnaires, interviews and observations were used to collect primary data. Data analysis was done by use of Pearson coefficient of correlation, chi-square tests of independence, analysis of variance. The major findings of the study were that the number of dependants; education level; cultural and religious attachments; endowed management skills; age and marital status had a significant relationship with the resource propensity amongst the women entrepreneurs. It was also revealed that environmental factors such as level of market competition; number and quality of employees, pricing of supplies; proximity to banking facilities; accessibility to information; economic inflation and physical infrastructures bore significant weight on the women?s ability to save for the growth of their enterprises.  The legal and regulatory framework significantly impeded resource ability for growth of women entrepreneurial ventures. It was concluded that the aforementioned factors should be addressed. Business development services should be enhanced and the women entrepreneurial competencies be improved to inculcate a culture of business resource for financing the operations and growth of women enterprises.

Title: Crop insurance market in Hungary
Abstract: This study makes a review of the agricultural risks management systems in Hungary with a special focus on agricultural insurances. We present the different types of agricultural insurances and analyse the structure of crop insurance market in Hungary.The weather risks (example hail, drought, frost etc.) are the most significant uncertainty for agriculture enterprises. These risk are managed with agriculture insurance by the companies. Because of high fee of insurance the enterprises insure themself only for hail generally. In order to reduce the cost of insurance, Hungarian Government use the establishment of a solidarity fund system and also the supporting system of insurance payment ex-post ? in accordance with Common Agricultural Policy. Based on the rate of the aid there are 4 types of crop insurances on the market (the maximum level of this subsidy is 65 % of the insurance fee).We analyse in this study the market share of Hungarian agriculture insurance with the main focus on subsidized insurance market.

Title: Financial Statement Analysis to Determine IPO Readiness: Evidence from Georgian State-owned Joint Stock Companies
Abstract: This paper analyzes financial statements of Georgia?s two of the largest state-owned joint stock companies (JSC), Georgian Railway and Georgian Oil and Gas Corporation to determine their readiness for Initial Public Offering (IPO). The above-mentioned firms represent 21% of the country?s JSC population by turnover and their IPO success index incorporates liquidity, profitability and capital and asset ratios. Series of tests illustrate that liquidity is one of the biggest determinants of IPO success with a 74% influence on the index. Liquidity also improves Return on Capital Employed by 53% and Return on Assets by 47.5%. Furthermore, we conclude that Return on Assets improves firms? chances of successful IPO by 31%. Consistent with our previous research, we believe that protection of minority shareholders? interests is crucial to the development of securities exchange and suggest specific legislative changes to that effect. We also suggest using constant currency financial reporting to eliminate the effects of currency fluctuations in short-term period.

Title: Investigating the Effect of Strategic Leadership on Competitive Advantage with the Mediating Role of Innovation Ambidexterity
Abstract: Gaining and sustaining the competitive advantage in today turbulent environment is an obsession of corporate managers. Manufacturing firms while investing in R & D, worry about the innovations driven from these researchers and their effect on the firm?s position in market. In other words, balance between innovation exploration and innovation exploitation (innovation ambidexterity) and its effect on firm?s competitive advantage is an important question of such firms. What is missed in many researches is the effect of strategic leadership on the relationship between innovation ambidexterity and competitive advantage that this research tries to fill this gap. This paper investigates the effect of strategic leadership (transformational and transactional leadership) on innovation ambidexterity capability (innovation exploration and innovation exploitation) and effect of this capability on competitive advantages (price advantage, service differentiation advantage and customer concentration advantage) of manufacturing firms in Kerman.The results show transactional leadership has an impact on innovation exploration, both transactional and transformational leadership has an impact on innovation exploitation. Both innovation exploitation and exploration have an impact on service differentiation advantage but innovation exploitation has an impact on price and customer concentration advantage.

Title: The importance of interpersonal and social factors in university?industry collaboration
Abstract: University?industry collaboration has gained in importance and been the subject of much research during recent decades. When it comes to factors that influence the success of collaborations such as these, the literature focuses mainly on resources, objectives, structure, flexibility, political environment or geographic distance. The social and interpersonal facets of these collaborations are often seen only as side aspects. In the course of this study, we reviewed the relevant literature regarding university?industry collaboration and examined the social and interpersonal factors that might influence success. We investigated peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2000 and 2016 in the English language. Our results indicate that communication, trust, commitment and culture are the most relevant factors in this regard and need to be considered carefully. These factors are important at all levels, from ordinary staff members to leadership and management. The participating partners and individuals are well advised to be aware of cultural differences between universities and industry and must handle dissimilarities and challenges adequately, because good social and interpersonal relationships are necessary for a successful partnership.

Title: On the Evaluation of Synergy and Systemic Risk in Innovation Creating Business Clusters
Abstract: It is necessary to be able to evaluate the synergistic effect, which is one of the key incentives for businesses to develop clusters and cooperate with each other in order to determine the efficiency of innovation creating business cluster. The synergistic effect of business clusters is one of the key factors supporting cooperation, boosting innovative operational efficiency. However, despite synergy is one of the main determinants of the business cluster establishment its evaluation is insufficiently investigated since the scientific literature has not yet offered a reliable method for determining the value of a business cluster synergy and influence the further development and commercialization of innovation in the business activities of the clusters. On the other hand, there are some fundamental prpblems to quantify the synergistic effects and to identify the factors that have a significant impact on the additional outcomes cluster activitiy. In the literature, there are many attempts to describe the synergistic effects and classify it, but this knowledge is still quite fragmented. This article aims to review the evaluation approaches of synergistic effect of business cluster activity and the structure of synergistic effect and the relationship between synergistic effect, complementarities and systemic risk in business cluster. This article identifies the major problems associated with cluster assessment modeling, and analyzed the possibilities to generalize the applicable models.
