Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2013 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: complete, course: Business Management, language: English, abstract: This study examines personal values for its influence on entrepreneurial orientation, and determines the role of mediator [self efficacy (SE)] and moderator [business environment (BE)] variables on the relationship between personal values (PV) and entrepreneurial orientations (EO). The examination of the mediator-moderator effect involving PV, SE, BE, and their subsequent influence on EO was also undertaken. A survey was administered with the assistance of MARA officers the whole of West Malaysia. The data generated was based on 162 owner managers' selfrating of PV, SE, BE and EO. Rasch Model and SPSS programs were employed to analyze the data using several different analyses. Multiple regression, hierarchical stepwise regression, One Way ANOVA and Independent t-tests were used to test the hypotheses. The results provided general support for five out of the six hypotheses. Specifically, the direct relationship between personal values (especially religious values) and entrepreneurial orientations was found to be positively related. Different dimension of personal values predicted different dimension of entrepreneurial orientations. Self-efficacy was found to have positive relationship with entrepreneurial orientations; mediate the relationship between personal values of hard work and discipline, and also entrepreneurial orientations. However, business environment did not moderate the relationship between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial orientations. Therefore, the Rasch Model has developed a new entrepreneur competence measure as it generates four classifications of Malay owner managers. As this is a fresh finding, it serves as a new contribution for the present study. The results suggested that religious values and self-efficacy motivation were needed to infl

Book Description
Entrepreneurs who are effective leaders and have the right level of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) are able to create successful organisations. A review of literature suggests that research examining the impacts of leadership and EO on organisational performance is still scarce, especially within the context of small businesses in Malaysia. This study is important since finding the right balance between leadership behaviours of entrepreneurs and EO could improve SMEs' contribution towards economic development in Malaysia.
E-commerce for Malaysian SMEs in Selected Services

Book Description
Findings from a recent survey done to identify the barriers and benefits of e-commerce for Malaysian SMEs in the retail and food and beverage services indicate that both e-commerce adopters and non-adopters are similar in that they perceive the CEO or decision-maker to be the most important factor in the adoption of e-commerce. The relative importance of the other three main factors (namely, organizational, technological and environmental) differ for adopters and non-adopters. Likewise, there are also differences in response based on firm size. Based on the survey findings, Malaysia needs to shift from one-size-fits-all strategies to a more nuanced policy response that addresses the differences in perceived barriers of adopters and non-adopters and which is also cognizant of firm size. Grant recipients are more concerned about technological and environmental factors, indicating that grants need henceforth to be accompanied by appropriate policies that address these two barriers. The perceived benefits focus more on the domestic market than on exports. Getting firms to invest in e-commerce does not automatically lead to export. Exporting via e-commerce requires complementary policies that focus on specific issues, such as digital marketing at the targeted export destination.

Book Description
Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 3.8, Limkokwing University of Creative Technology, language: English, abstract: This report will helps identify gaps that this study is aiming to bridge, which will also help guide the entire paper. It is becoming increasingly difficult to overlook the importance of the small and medium enterprise (SME) sector in the economic and social development of a country. In view of their identified importance, this study aims to develop a better understanding of the factors that influence success and performance in small and medium enterprises in Malaysia, as perceived by owners and/or managers. The research framework, which was derived from a systematic literature review, was carefully analyzed, observed and investigated using a two (2) stage design, which incorporated both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The justification behind the two (2) stage methodology was mainly to avoid common method bias and, furthermore, seek to clarify findings arising from the survey by providing individual insights. Approaches were adopted in succession with the findings from the quantitative phase which in turn informs the qualitative phase. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have an important role to play in the development of a country. A strong SME sector contributes highly to the economy, contributing to the gross domestic product, by reducing the level of unemployment, reduction in poverty levels and promotion of entrepreneurship activity. Therefore, the success of this sector determines economic status of the economy of Malaysia which is dependent on a number of factors.
