| Abstract: | Objective - The purpose of this study is to investigate both "technology" and "knowledge" effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) on labour productivity in the medium-high manufacturing industries' classification in Malaysia. Methodology/Technique - This study employs a Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) estimator. Findings - The results conclude that diffusion of knowledge, which increases labour productivity, is greater via "learning effects" as compared to the investor countries' capital investments in the medium-high manufacturing industries. Novelty - This study expands the body of knowledge about the benefits of FDI spillovers on labour productivity according to specific investor countries, however, are rarely researched particularly in developing countries and at the industry level. Type of Paper - Empirical. |

| Abstract: | Scientific knowledge has throughout of history, been treated as a commodity and increasingly its value has thus during the last 40 years depreciated due to effect of Trickle-down Economics The production and selling of truth, is an on-growing industry where the interested parties, set the agenda by hiring academics and scholars hence turning complex issues into; bite-size, digestible content. Unfortunately, more extensive access to information, does not translate into unbiased knowledge. |

| Abstract: | Despite inherent differences across disciplines, collaboration in general and larger teams of co-authors in particular, are prevalent strategies to increase research performance via academic publications. We take a more fine-grained view of this relationship by distinguishing between two dimensions of research performance, namely impact (i.e., subsequent citations of a paper) and prestige (i.e., top academic journals). Different from prior literature, we argue that there are both benefits and pitfalls in having larger teams, and these trade-offs will affect differently the impact and prestige of academic research. Specifically, we propose that while team size will enhance linearly the impact of a paper, it will contribute in a non-linear fashion to its prestige. Furthermore, these relationships will be moderated by the knowledge and international diversity of the team. We test these hypotheses using bibliometric data on more than 40,000 publications between 1994 and 2013 papers across 21 sub-fields within the realm of Business and Management. Our results broadly support our theoretical assertions. We discuss some practical implications for assessing and stimulating the research performance of academics in business schools. |

| Abstract: | Increasingly tight business competition map of industry has been the main focus for everyone in the world, especially in the industry we call it as the Industry era 4.0 . The awareness of this competiton has made many business organizations in the world, including Indonesia busy preparing themselves, particularly those related to the development of human resources, to be ready to compete in this global era. The Fourth wave of industrial revolution is marked by the use of information technology, artificial intelligence, and automatic engines or vehicles that have been going on since years before. |
