Common committee membership on the relationship between CEO incentive compensation and risk-taking: A study of the banking industry
Pages 24-35
Chia-Chi Lua, Pai-Ta Shihb, Ju-Fang Yenc
Abstract
TCEO compensation practices in the banking industry are widely believed to have induced excessive risk-taking and, thus, to have played an important role in causing the recent financial crisis. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) has called attention to the need to understand, and improve the corporate governance of financial organizations. The purpose of this study is to analyze whether there is a mechanism in boards that may have impacts on the relationship between CEO incentive compensation and risk-taking behavior for the banking industry. The mechanism this study proposes is the compensation/audit committee overlap (hereafter, director overlap). In this study, the results show that in the banking industry, director overlap affects the risk incentive resulting from CEO incentive compensation; director overlap can reduce the relationship between CEO incentive compensation and default risk; and director overlap reduces the relationship between CEO incentive compensation and systematic risk, instead of idiosyncratic risk. These findings indicate that director overlap between compensation committee and audit committee can help risk management by reducing risk-taking behavior inducing by CEO incentive compensation, reducing default probability inducing by CEO risk-taking behavior and systematic risk.

Abstract
This research aimed to grasp the contextualized concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Oman Medical Specialty Board (OMSB). The primary objectives of this research were to explore the level of CSR engagement at OMSB, to explore CSR benefits, to explore CSR impact on OMSB performance, reputation and competitiveness, and finally to explore employees‟ attitudes and perceptions towards CSR. A convenient sample of 120 employees was asked with a standardized questionnaire. The data were analyzed using mixed methods. The study findings have indicated that there was a general lack of CSR initiatives at OMSB. However, findings have acknowledged the benefits of CSR, the positive relationship between CSR and performance, and the positive employees‟ attitudes towards CSR. Several valuable strategies and recommendations have been suggested for making a great difference in OMSB by promoting CSR practices.
Employee Engagement & Its Impact on their Performance: The Case of Oman Medical Specialty Board (OMSB)
Pages 51-63
Badriya Mohammed Al Habsi
Abstract
Employee engagement has gained popularity over the past years. It became a very popular managerial construct. I strongly agreed that Employee engagement is the key source of organization’s competitive advantages and high performance. Several literatures highlighted the impact of employee engagement on organization’s performance. Therefore, we noted that most organizations use different engagement building tools to sustain their competitive advantages and improve the performance. The overarching aim of this research is to attempt to find out what encourages employees at my work place “Oman Medical Specialty Board” to have a passion for the job they do, which encourages them to display discretionary effort thus going the extra mile to do their job to the very best of their ability. Also, as the new strategic plan of OMSB considers employees engagement as one of its objectives, therefore this research will be a good starting point to achieve this objective and for sure it will add value to OMSB. In fact, the generation and harnessing of high employee engagement has been link to high levels of individual performance as well as increased organizational financial performance. Therefore, this research is an exploratory study that aims to measure the current levels of engagement within OMSB, to identify the key drivers of employee engagement, to examine the employees’ attitude toward engagement strategy and to study the impact of employee engagement on job performance which is directly affecting other dimensions like employees’ satisfaction and organizational commitment and performance. To achieve these objectives and to answers the research questions, a survey questionnaire was developed and validated. The findings of this research were presented in mean and standard deviation in addition to other calculated elements. The result showed that OMSB has high engagement level and the employees have high attitude toward this strategy. Also, findings showed that OMSB should take attention regarding some engagement drivers within the organization to sustain and improve its performance. Several recommendations for improvements that would enhance the organization’s employee engagement level have been suggested. Additionally, this study is very important catalyst to explore the area further. This is so because it will require future work and further research after this body of work has been completed as it is suggested in the “Future Work” part in the paper.

Pages 64-69
Anura Amarasena
Abstract
This paper investigated the influencing elements for the global competitiveness of firms in exporting. In order to achieve this purpose the paper reviews the export related literature and critically evaluates the effect of the Internet in exporting. The understanding gained in this in-depth review has led to suggest that the functions of the managers and their ability to interact with environmental factors of these small firms, which carry the potential to influence the performance of firms, is vital. Literature highlights the importance of relationships to small firms where mutual-understanding adding value to the exporter-importer relationships to overcome their difficulties and disadvantages. The manager‟s commitment seems vital in developing this relationship. The potential factors which carry the converging effect that would nourish the relationship between the exporter-importer leading to strengthening their mutual-trust have been discussed. In-depth review of the literature helped to gain clear insights of the benefits of the Internet for exporting firms. However this review led to questions about whether such benefits are fully applicable to small firms exporting from developed to developing market situation, highlighting the vital role of social relationships to the success of these firms. Thus it is worth investigating to observe whether comprehensive benefits of the Internet could be given to exporting firms through full implementation of this technology.© 2017 The Authors.

New Light on Regional Development in China: The Role of Overlapping’s
Pages 70-83
Shu hen Chiang
Abstract
Over the past few decades, shift-share analysis is widely applied to explore the sources of local economic growth; however, there is little agreement as to the law of comparative advantage (CA) due to questions arising from spatial and industrial overlapping. The purpose of this paper is to exclude all overlapping biases to generate a new identity, which can fully show the concept of externalities and CA, the nation-industry-region interactions and the structural change of local industry in a timely manner. Finally, the usefulness of classical shift-share analysis faces serious challenges, especially for the high degree of geographical and industrial concentrations characterizing China’s regional economy from 1978-2008.

Abstract
In this paper, we integrate the motion-capture technique of Kinect 2, the plant growth simulation of L-system, and Unity to implement a somatosensory Edutainment System. This system provides users interesting and interactive experience of growing plants in real-time. The user can swing his/her body to control the virtual tree growth in the beginning. After that, the virtual tree will swing its branches as user did, just like the Ents in the fantasy world. Finally, user can wear HTC VIVE HMD to observe their own generated trees. We look forward to increasing users’ awareness and care about the environment through our system.
