Effective employee motivation has long been one of the elusive “Holy Grails” of management. Motivation refers to the internal and external factors that stimulate excitement and energy in a person to be continuously interested and committed to a particular goal.
Leaders are often faced with the challenge to motivate their employees: How do I consistently motivate my employees to “go the extra mile” for the organization? How do I get employees to give their 110%? Although motivation is highly individualized, having a sound framework to understand the psychological processes involved in motivation will greatly help leaders. One such framework that can be applied to the workplace is Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs.

This paper investigates the macroeconomic drivers of house
prices in Malaysia using VECM, over a fifteen year period.
The key macroeconomic factors investigated were real
GDP, bank lending rate, Consumer Sentiment, Business
Condition, Money Supply, number of loans approved, Stock
market (KLSE) and Inflation. The macroeconomic factors
found to be significantly related to the Malaysian housing
prices were inflation, Stock Market (KLSE), Money Supply
(M3) and number of residential loans approved. The results
hint at the potential of a housing price bubble as GDP
wasn’t identified as a driver of house prices.
Recruitment Practices in Malaysian Knowledge Intensive Start-UpsShanmuga Pillaiyan
This paper investigates Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) practices adopted by knowledge intensive start-up companies in Malaysia. SHRM is considered a key to the success of these firms in line with the Resource-Based-View (RBV) of the firm. Particular focus was given to recruitment practices as recruitment is viewed as having the most significant short term impact for start-ups. This paper is based on the case study of three Malaysian knowledge intensive start-ups. The study finds that Malaysian start-ups do not perceive SHRM as critical for their success. Owner-managers of Malaysian start-ups prefer an informal & unstructured SHRM process. Key SHRM areas of recruitment and compensation are ad hoc. These findings are in line with other studies carried out globally. This paper discussed the pros and cons of the SHRM practices at Malaysian Knowledge intensive start-ups and recommends a framework for recruitment in small knowledge intensive start-ups is proposed.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

3. Problem Statement
Axiata has had an amazing period of growth for the last couple
years, highlighted by the fact that it has clinched Frost & Sullivan's Asia
Pacific ICT award for the "Best Telecom Group of the Year" for four
consecutive years since 2009.
However, a new technological paradigm has emerged in recent years
that could threaten the traditional telco business model. The question
is:
Can Axiata continue it’s stellar growth
performance within the context of the
New Telco Paradigm?
Nottingham Malaysia

4. The New Telco Paradigm
The mindshare of mobile users is currently dominated by handset
manufacturers, having shifted away from the mobile network operators.
The 3 main drivers for this paradigm shift are:
1. Smartphones
2. Commoditization of telco services
3. OTT Services

5. New Paradigm Driver: Smartphones
1.
Smartphones reached 30% market share in 2011 with a total of 483
million units shipped worldwide
2. This trend is likely to increase significantly in the coming years as
the battle for market share between handset manufacturers
intensifies.

8. New Paradigm Driver: Commoditization of
Service
As the telecommunication industry approaches maturity, telco offerings
and QoS begin to look and feel the same between different
competitors, causing:
1.
Less room for differentiation in terms of the core services offered
2. Margin erosion from lower prices
Commoditization
occurs as the

The business environment for telcos
is changing rapidly, and Axiata has to
change accordingly to stay relevant
and vital in the new telco paradigm
Axiata's current strategy has been
successful so far, but it needs to:
A. Diversify its service offerings

21. Recommendations
Based on our understanding of Axiata’s capability and firm
characteristics we feel that there are only 2 viable strategies:
3rd Party Business Enablers
Own-brand OTT services
Because Axiata is operating in different geographical locations with
different cultural leanings, market maturity, industry
focus, infrastructures, it is imperative to select a strategy that can be
rolled out and implemented successfully and uniformly by each entity.

1.
Negotiate payment settlement agreements with popular online digital
content stores (eg. Apple iTunes, Google Play, Blackberry AppWorld, etc)
by leveraging on subscriber base size
2.
Develop interfaces with these stores to enable customers to pay for their
purchases using their mobile subscriptions (postpaid and prepaid)
3.
Develop fraud management policies to cater for the potential for increased
bad debts by postpaid subcribers
4.
Extend the payment solution to other products and services by working
with selected vendors and merchants

26. Takeaways
1.
ICT
Businesses in technology driven industries are facing ever shorter business model cycles,
due to ICT –
Inevitable Convergence of Technologies.
More consideration must be given to the lifespan of any initiative recommended in the
context of a strategic framework. The current frameworks have limitations with regards to
how well they can predict the viability of any strategy in the face of this convergence.
2.
BOP
More focus should be given towards developing Bottom of the Pyramid strategies that
treat that segment as potential viable consumers and a latent economic/entrepreneurial
force, especially in developing countries, because
the poor of today could be the middle class of tomorrow.
Nottingham Malaysia
December 2012
Slide 26
30. Porter’s 5 Forces
Threat of New Entrants (low)
Capital requirements – very high to start a telco
Government policy – cellular spectrum in most cases is tightly controlled by governments, and in most
cases, only a few licenses to operate a telco are issued in each country
Economies of scale – Incumbent operators in mature or maturing markets are usually more able to
stave off challenges from late market entrants because of their existing user base
Bargaining Power of Suppliers (low to medium)
Importance of volume to supplier – traditionally none except for network throughput capacity
limitations, but there is a trend that vendors are revenue sharing with the telcos.
Presence of substitute inputs – telco suppliers are facing a trend where networks are choosing to work
together to lower capital expenditure on infrastructure spending
Bargaining Power of Buyers (high)
Buyer Information – social networks, blogs, TV ads and information on the internet means that the
buyer has access to plenty of information about the companies and their products/services as well as
their substitutes
Substitute products/services – The rapid proliferation of app stores and OTT services is proving that
buyers are increasingly willing to perform traditional telco-based functions like voice calls and
messaging using substitute, internet-based services
Nottingham Malaysia
July 2012
Slide 30
31. Porter’s 5 Forces – cont.
Rivalry among existing competitors (high)
Diversity of competition – the core services offered by telcos are
voice, messaging and data connectivity. Most telcos do not deviate far
Product differences – as the market matures, product differences become
commoditized, especially when the top contenders all have access to the same
licenses and radio spectrum
Threat of Substitutes (high)
Buyer propensity to substitute – the availability of OTT services via a handset’s
native Mobile OS ecosystem makes it highly accessible to the buyer
Relative price performance of substitutes – since many of the substitutes are
free, they compare very favourably against telco offerings
