This is the fourth volume of the compilation of case studies by UUM’s Institute of Management and Business Research (IMBRe). Following the successful publication of its three predecessors, the current Volume 4 selects and includes the best Malaysian case studies in the broad areas of management, economics and marketing. It is IMBRe’s aspiration to encourage both academics and students to embrace the case-study approach as an effective pedagogical tool. The cases are designed and written by academics to be used for both undergraduate and postgraduate courses, in which the academics themselves, more often than not, serve as instructors. Although each case is written specifically to cater for a particular course, it can be adapted for other related courses.

Book Description

This book for anyone who wants to undertake an engaging, satisfying, productive, and a more successful career as a qualitative researcher. This book is intended to contribute to the popularisation of qualitative research in Malaysia. Qualitative studies in educational research are very limited in many countries; and to date, there has been very little work done using this form of educational inquiry in Malaysia. The dominant tradition has followed the positivist paradigm. A qualitative case study offers a different approach and generates a range of information of different qualities from that obtained using traditional approaches. This book provides both the theories and practical practices to undertake a qualitative study. The conception of this book began from the assumption that our world is interpreted through language as means of communication and understanding. Writing narratives of experience is becoming a common way of describing how people make sense of their experience or problems at hand. At the root of the naturalistic inquiry exhibited in this book, is an interest in understanding the experience of learners and the meanings they make of the distance learning experience at Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM). This study was designed as a single case focusing on distance learners of different backgrounds in UUM.

Book Description

While many initial education benchmarks are being met, new and continuing challenges exist for adolescent girls in the developing world. Discrimination, violence, marginalization, and health-related issues prevail, making proper education at the middle school level crucial during this unique development time. As we continue to see the expectations for girls grow, education for girls must also find a new place within the evolving norms of political, economic, cultural and social life. This volume takes a global look at the obstacles and enablers in girls’ education that can have lasting institutional, psychological and social consequences. It looks at many complex issues affecting education for adolescent girls around the world, including the underlying global demands for women in the formal workforce and the universal impact of gender-based violence, and provides a critical framework through which researchers may explore and critique these complexities.

Book Description

This collection offers a sample of contemporary works on tourism and its impact on the Malaysian environment, written by academics from a variety of perspectives. Given the growing body of literature on different aspects of the industry the coverage is by no means representative, let alone exhaustive, of the current discourse. Nonetheless the nineteen chapters cover a range of interests and concerns which have emerged as a consequence of spectacular growth in tourist arrival which currently places Malaysia as one of the most popular destinations in Asia. Recent forecast indicates that the growth trends will continue for at least another decade before the country as a destination approaches maturity. This volume would be a useful reference for students, academic and other researchers who are looking for detailed information to enable them to analyse the impacts and implications of tourism development on the host society.

These chapters range from modelling new COVID-19 cases to examining the behavioural facets tied to the disease. They explore the intricate relationship between COVID-19 cases, the multifaceted impacts of the virus, the evaluation of the nation’s border openness to foreigners, the recovery rates of COVID-19 patients, and the continuous monitoring of new cases. The subsequent three chapters, grouped under the theme of scientific perspectives on lifestyle, concentrate on the repercussions of COVID-19 on life insurance sales, alternative therapies and treatments, as well as the dietary habits and lifestyles of undergraduate university students before and during the Movement Control Order (MCO) period. The final trio of chapters, falling under the innovative ideas on learning perspective, delves into the ramifications of online learning on students’ educational experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. These chapters explore the levels of student motivation in remote learning and optimal classroom layout management amid the pandemic. This book holds value for a diverse audience, including policymakers, researchers, and students aiming to understand the impact of the epidemic on the present state of affairs.
