Factors Influencing Entrepreneurialism in Rentier State

Economy: Oman Case

Issa Al Shabibi*

Abstract The paper identified three main types of factor impacting on

entrepreneurship at national level: political, economic and cultural. The micro level,

on the other hand, encompasses demographic, social and educational factors which

vary from one individual to other. The finding elucidates the powerful influence of

both contextual and individual factors, which help shape the way in which such a

concept is understood. This then contributes to an existing argument surrounding

the extent to which these factors at national (macro-) and personal (micro-) levels

can determine entrepreneurial tendencies in a new rentier state context – adding

novelty to the comparative entrepreneurship literature. These factors vary in the

degree of their significance to entrepreneurial tendencies and appear as pulling or

pushing the occurrence of entrepreneurship among stakeholders. First, within the

contextual factors, political and particularly economic seem more important

influencers in Oman context than cultural aspects. This varying degree of

importance is also seen in the individual factors. For instance, gender and discipline

of study do not show extensive impact on the creation of sound understanding,

whereas, HEI level and ranking reveal a considerable influence, as well as the

impact of family and friends, social media, and participation in national

competitions or civil events. When applying Hofstede’s cultural dimension of

individualism, there is evidence that Omanis are becoming more entrepreneurial by

expressing positive attitudes to innovation risk-taking, and independence (locus of

control), despite a certain amount of restrictive cultural, religious and social effects.

Intrapreneurship: Advancing Business by Enhancing

Synergy

Dr. Frank Koe*

Abstract The landscape in business management continues to evolve. In recent

years the idea of how to innovate has changed considerably, shifting to an

interactive process that involves diverse individuals working together on solving a

particular business challenge. The strong desire for corporate America, or for a start-

up for that matter, to stay ahead of competition demands that solutions need to be

found quickly to complex problems. This implies that team members with

appropriate yet diverse skill sets merge to create synergies based not on common

hiring practices but on a mutual desire to solve problems. Achieving synergy in the

workplace goes beyond placing random individuals in teams and assigning them a

task to be completed. It calls upon management to carefully understand the

capabilities of each team member who is motivated to work for a particular

company. To have synergistic qualities, one should place their self-importance

behind achieving a mutually agreed upon goal. Like the entrepreneur, one must feel

an intrinsic motivation to solve a problem because finding the solution is more

important than ones perceived status. This presentation will address the role of ‘flat’

vs. hierarchical company structures and the roles of the Intrepreneurial employee

and management.

Understanding Financial Literacy Among Youth

Shelly Daly*

Abstract The subject matter of financial literacy deals with broad implications of a

nation’s economic well-being and potential advancement. Bhutan’s economic

advancement over the last fifty years has been a role model for Asia and the entire

developing world. Bhutan boasts one of the highest literacy rates and lowest

unemployment rates in South Central Asia. However, this study shows that financial

literacy on issues such as budgeting, saving, investing, cash management and

insuring are minimal. This study uses a sample of 320 youth and detailed statistical

analysis to enumerate and discuss potential causes. Understanding and improving

financial literacy will allow Bhutan to continue its path towards economic security

as it continues to serve as an example in the region and for all emerging economies.

Strategic Communication in Higher Education

Fundraising for the Generation

Traci L. Austin1, Lindsay Clark2, Lucia S. Sigmar3*

Abstract Nonprofit fundraising is a multi-billion-dollar industry in the U.S. and has

enormous impact on the lives and professions of those in higher education. Yet little

scholarly study has been made of the processes and products of fundraising, with

practitioners drawing upon their own experience, rather than relying on empirical

studies as a guide to best practice. In business communication courses, AIDA

(Attention, Interest, Desire, Action) is proposed as the most persuasive series of

rhetorical “moves” in both spoken and written discourse. However, while

commonly employed in fields such as sales and marketing, AIDA does not appear

to be the rhetorical structure of choice in higher education fundraising. Upton’s

(2002) review of a corpus of nearly 1,000 direct mail fundraising messages indicated

that they tended to follow one of three distinct rhetorical patterns—none of which

resembles the traditional AIDA strategy. Our research examines the

effectiveness/impact of these rhetorical strategies in higher education fundraising

by using a “moves” analysis of AIDA versus direct rhetorical strategies.

Approximately 122 individuals in the 18 - 25 age range participated in this study.

Specifically, we wanted to determine whether Upton’s direct “prototypes” were

more or less persuasive than the AIDA strategy. In addition, we wanted to discover

if generational differences impacted how these fundraising strategies were received

and acted upon. Our preliminary findings indicate that our participants—who

represent an emerging audience for university fundraisers—prefer the direct

strategy over the AIDA strategy--thus perhaps changing business communication

pedagogy and increasing university fundraising effectiveness.

The Impact of Economic Risk Factors on Industry Stock

Returns: An Empirical Investigation in The UAE Stock

Market

Mahdy Elhusseiny1*, Mariam Ali Alyammahi2

Abstract This study employs a multifactor pricing model in investigating industry

stock returns in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) based on the work of Chen, Roll,

and Ross (1986). A set of local macroeconomic factors are used, which is initially

guided by the basic economic theory of asset pricing as possible explanatory factors

of local industry stock returns. This study also employs a global version of the

single- factor CAPM to test the effects of global risk factors on industries’ stock

returns in UAE Stock market as well. Most of the work on this topic has been carried

out to investigate the effect of different sets of local and global risk factors on the

returns of either individual or portfolios of stocks regardless of industry type. For

instance, Fama (1980), Chen, Roll, and Ross (1986), Poon, and Taylor (1991), and

Altay (2003) employ different analytical methods such as the factor analysis

technique or utilize regression processes in order to test the significance of different

sets of local and global factors and their betas on portfolio stock returns. However,

it would be appealing to investigate the returns at the industry level. The objective

of this study is to add to the limited amount of literature by identifying and

examining the extent to which innovations in several key local macroeconomic

factors are reflected in the performance of different local industries stock returns. It

also investigates to what extent the global risk factors have effects on industry’s

stock returns. More specifically, three main questions are poses in this study. First,

whether and to what extent do returns on local industries respond to changes in local

macroeconomic risk factors? Second, whether and to what extent do returns on local

industries respond to changes in global risk factors? Third, Is the impact on industry

stock returns similar acros industries? For this purpose, several local

macroeconomic risk factors are constructed. These Macroeconomic risk factors are:

Composite market Price, Exchange rate, Export of Goods, Imports of Goods,

Industrial Production, Inflation, money supply (M1), money supply (M2), and Oil

Prices, we also consult the world market index provided by The Global Financial

Data (GFD) as proxy for the global risk factors. The results of this study should

provide valuable empirical and practical contributions. First, the findings of this

study should add to the limited research of the effect of macroeconomic risk factors

as well as global risk factors on industry returns. Second, more practically, the

findings of this study can be beneficial to investors and practitioners by improving

their understanding of how local and global risk factors influence investment returns

of different industries. Such an understanding should enable investors and

practitioners to make more informed decisions with regard to allocating, timing, and

diversifying their investment portfolios

Behavioral Agency and Corporate Entrepreneurship:

Ceo Equity Incentives and Competitive Behavior

Carla D. Jones*

Abstract The influence of entrepreneurial behavior among established firms has

been long studied. Yet little is known about how individual factors shape a firm’s

choice to pursue entrepreneurship. To improve our understanding of internal factors

influencing corporate entrepreneurship (CE), we combine behavioral agency and

CE literature to explore the consequences of different forms of CEO equity

compensation on firm-level entrepreneurial strategies. We test the contrasting

effects upon entrepreneurial choices of (1) CEO restricted stock & stock options,

and (2) the role of industry dynamics in shaping these relationships. We elucidate

the CEO’s perception of risk consequences and provide insight regarding the

consequences of CEO equity based pay. We use S&P 1500 firms, which are

included in the Raven Pack database. Our time frame spans from 2000 to 2014. We

obtained 159,729 headlines to capture competitive activity. Entrepreneurial actions

refer to externally directed, specific, and observable moves initiated by firms to

enhance their relative competitive position. We used fixed effects regression

analyses on our panel dataset. Our results support that different types of CEO equity

incentives differentially influence CE behaviors. Specifically, CEO stock option

wealth is negatively related to CE, only when we include an interaction with

industry dynamics. Similarly, CEO restricted stock wealth weakly positively

influences CE, only as an interaction with industry dummies. Our findings suggest

CEOs avoid CE as option wealth increases. Hence, to predict the role of equity

incentives in influencing CE, it is necessary to integrate industry dynamics. Our

findings provide a theoretical platform for predicting dimensions of entrepreneurial

behavior and CEO equity ownership.

‘

Association Between Job Characteristics and Health

Care Staff’s Well Being: Mediation of Work Life

Conflict

Ali Waqas*

Abstract Health care staff’s wellbeing is crucial for the efficiency of overall health

care system. The staff’s wellbeing is compromised in the health care organizations

of developing countries which ultimately become the reason of poor health care

services and higher mortality rate. Furthermore, job characteristics like job demand

and supervisors support play significant role for the employees’ wellbeing. The

studies also highlight the influence of the work family conflict on the health care

staff ‘s wellbeing at the workplace. Thus, this study aims to investigate the

association between job characteristics (Job demand and Supervisor’s support) and

health care staff’s wellbeing (Burnout and Work engagement) through the

mediating role of work life conflict. This study is of cross sectional design. The self-

administered questionnaire was distributed to the 110 staff nurses of public hospital

of Lahore, Pakistan through simple random sampling. The secrecy of data and

ethical measures of data collection was ensured. The findings of the current study

reveal that job demand has significant and positive relationship with burnout and

work engagement. However, supervisor support has insignificant relationship with

burnout but significant relationship with work engagement. In addition, work life

conflict mediates the relationship of job demand with burnout and work

engagement. However, work life conflict does not mediate the relationship of

supervisor support with burnout and work engagement. Thus, organizations should

emphasize on job demand and supervisor support to attain the health care staff’s

wellbeing so that efficient health care services can be provided. This study also

provides the limitations and recommendations.
