The Business Model Design of Social EnterpriseLuke Kao
A social enterprise is an organization whose aim is to find the balance between
earning profits for shareholders and creating positive impacts in society. In the
following thesis, I shall share the building blocks needed for a business model directing
towards building a social enterprise, and draw comparison to those of for-profit
enterprises. Osterwalder and Pigneur proposed nine building blocks as a universal
business model (Business Model Generation 2010). My research considers this
proposed model while also considering three additional building blocks that specifically
pertaining to social enterprise: “social and environment revenue,” “social and
environment costs,” and “the social entrepreneur.” My research uses the information
collected from three social enterprise case studies, considering the social entrepreneurs
themselves, in addition to information concerning their company documents. My result
validates the theoretical foundation and practicality for these three additional building
blocks for developing social enterprises and for supplementing additional important
considerations while starting a social enterprise.
Co-Creation in the Hospitality Industry by Tobias KoehlerTobias Köhler
This paper introduces the ongoing paradigm shift in marketing, i.e. servicedominant
(S-D) logic, as well as the therefrom originating thought on value cocreation
applied on the hospitality industry. S-D logic and co-creation are introduced
in a comprehensive and accessible way before current issues in hospitality
marketing and existing influences of S-D logic and co-creation in tourism literature
are explored. The author, furthermore, conducted a qualitative study on
current innovation practice in the hospitality industry. It revealed that the customer
is not yet an active part of the value creation process in hospitality. Although
consumers gain on influence through social media activities, most lodging
corporations do not take advantage of this development; whether in marketing,
nor in innovation. In order to drive the development of co-creation in hospitality
the author developed practical guidelines that support hospitality companies
in their transformation towards an experience mind-set and to support cocreative
activities.

720-degree Performance Appraisal - The Most Recently Introduced Concept in Pe...Dr. Sukanta Mishra
Performance Appraisal is a concept, started in the early 20th Century. It is the process of obtaining,
analyzing and recording information about an employee to evaluate and improve their performance.
It is evaluated in terms of Quality, Quantity, Time and Cost and also analyses the value that the employee adds to the goals of the organization. This appraisal system has started from 90-degree to
720-degree till date. Before introduction of 720-degree appraisal system, the companies were using 360-degree system. 720-degree Performance Appraisal is one of the most recently introduced concepts. As the name
suggests, 720-degree performance appraisal is an Integrated Method, where the employee’s
performance is evaluated from 360-degree (Management, Colleagues, Self and Customers) and
timely feedback is given.
Cycles of innovation are becoming shorter as modern data analytics tools enable faster disruption. Traditional approaches to resisting change or protecting existing business models are less effective in a digital economy where data and analytics allow for rapid innovation. For example, during a discussion with banking executives, each spoke about using big data to improve operations and differentiate themselves from competitors, but they failed to recognize how it could disrupt their entire industry or business models.
This proposal examines how leadership influences employee workplace spirituality, motivation, citizenship behaviour, and organisational performance in the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality (CJMM).

UNDERSTANDING THE LEADERSHIP IN ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF SIERRA LEONE BU...PROF. PAUL ALLIEU KAMARA
ABSTRACT
Creating and maintaining sustainable businesses in Sierra Leone require an understanding of the role of leadership in addressing personal outcomes of employees. Happiness at work is a common goal of everyone and mostly other things are possibly means to that goal. Personal outcomes of employees like meaning in life and subjective well-being have become an important concern for organizations in the intense competition for attracting and retaining young talent in the business industry. Meaning in life makes one’s life purposeful and subjective well-being is about being happy; these are important dimensions of anyone’s life, and people expect work organizations to contribute to them and their families. Focusing only on work-related outcomes culture in Sierra Leone may not be sufficient anymore. There is a need to better understand the processes of Sierra Leone Business industry by which desirable personal outcomes of employees can be enhanced.
Once an organization has decided to institute a data quality scorecard, its first step
is determining the types of metrics to use. Too often, data governance teams rely
on existing measurements for a data quality scorecard. But without establishing a
relationship between these measurements and the business’s success criteria, it can
be difficult to react effectively to emerging data quality issues and to determine whether
fixing these problems has any measurable business value. When it comes to data
governance, differentiating between “so-what” measurements and relevant metrics is a
success factor in managing expectations for data quality. For more info: www.nafcu.org/sas

This document provides an overview and summary of a McKinsey Global Institute report on the economic impact of the Internet. The report finds that the Internet has delivered substantial economic growth and job creation on a large scale.

This document summarizes a laboratory experiment that examines how users value risky prospects based on different disclosure formats. The experiment tests two hypotheses:
1) Users will value risky prospects higher when the maximum potential outcome is disclosed rather than the minimum, due to cognitive anchoring effects.
2) For a given disclosed value, users will discount their valuations in a strategic disclosure condition where disclosures are chosen by an opportunistic agent, compared to a random disclosure condition.
The experiment is designed to test whether the cognitive anchoring effect from one-sided disclosures persists even when disclosures are chosen strategically, addressing limitations of prior research that has not examined both cognitive and strategic disclosure factors together.
