“…The Delphi method is a systematic and qualitative forecasting method (Miller 1994) that involves asking a group of experts a series of questions. Figure 1 presents the flowchart of the Delphi method (Tee et al 2022) which illustrates that it is adaptable and well suited, especially when the goal is to increase understanding of issues, opportunities, solutions, or to create projections (Skulmoski et al 2007). Delphi is suitable for investigating topics where there is disagreement, ambiguity, or controversy (Iqbal and Pippon-Young 2009).…”

Most research on Initial Public Offering (IPO) focuses on the financial aspects of a company; previous research on corporate governance tended to focus on factors that influence the company proceeding with IPO. Few researchers studied the aspect of leadership using corporate governance as means to achieve company growth and IPO. This study seeks to identify dimensions deemed as important for corporate governance from the Malaysian perspective by using a two-round Delphi Method. The consistency of the ranking of these dimensions was then determined using Kendall’s coefficient of concordance. The order of importance for the nine dimensions uncovered from the Delphi Method are as follows: (1) Leadership; (2) Board Structure; (3) Vision, Mission and Strategies; (4) Policies, Process and Procedures; (5) Transparency; (6) Accountability and Responsibility; (7) Risk management and Internal Control; (8) Culture, and (9) Training and Communication. The interplay of the aforementioned dimensions and corporate governance is presented. Finally, quantitative as well as mixed methods research are recommended for a more in-depth understanding and to reduce bias through triangulation.

“…The study's reliance on a cross-sectional research design limits the ability to establish causal relationships between variables, despite examining correlations between Leadership Support, Training, Compensation, and employee retention. Longitudinal or experimental designs would offer more robust evidence of causality [53] .…”

Employee retention is a paramount concern in Dubai's thriving hotel industry, as turnover rates can significantly impact operational efficiency. The industry's ability to retain skilled employees directly impacts service quality and competitive advantage in delivering seamless experiences to guests. This study aims to examine the influence of Leadership Support, Training, and Compensation on employee retention in Dubai’s hotel sector. Through the administration of online surveys to 200 hotel employees and subsequent analysis using SPSS, significant relationships were uncovered between these factors and employee retention. Notably, training emerged as the most influential factor, followed by compensation and leadership support. These findings highlight the critical role of investing in robust employee training programs, offering competitive compensation packages, and fostering supportive leadership practices. Such initiatives are vital for enhancing retention within Dubai's competitive hotel sector, providing valuable insights for industry stakeholders seeking to fortify workforce stability. The outcomes also can be employed to improve operational effectiveness amidst the dynamic hospitality landscape and social protection system for the hotel industry employees of the region.

The reviewers were independent of the publisher, editor(s) and author(s). The publisher shared feedback on the similarity report and the reviewers' inputs with the manuscript's editor(s) or author(s) to improve the manuscript. Where the reviewers recommended revision and improvements, the editor(s) or author(s) responded adequately to such recommendations. The reviewers commented positively on the scholarly merits of the manuscript and recommended that the book be published. v Research justificationLocal economic development (LED) is at the core of developing a sustainable, inclusive and resilient local region. Local economic development aims to involve all role-players (local government, private sector and community) in the decision-making process in order to create a participatory environment where social and environmental concerns are balanced with economic pursuits. Achieving this is a challenge for local governments in developed and developing regions. The global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has brought about an entirely new set of challenges for local governments, businesses (formal and informal) and policymakers. This book aims to highlight how local economies are impacted during times of a global pandemic from global perspectives.The outbreak of the global COVID-19 pandemic has presented unprecedented challenges to developed and less-developed local economies. The book aims to uncover the best practices in responding to a pandemic from regional perspectives and from a trans-disciplinary point of view. Scholars from various spheres in the arts, culture, education, health, environment, business and the public sector present their perspectives on the impacts, responses and consequences for local economies and communities. As a fundamental part of LED, the arts, culture, education, health, environment, business and public sector domains were some of the hardest hit by the pandemic, and the pandemic has certainly exposed the weaknesses of current development policies and calls for new, innovative measures in developing resilient local regions. This book forms an essential part of the development series of the Centre for Local Economic Development (CENLED) as it offers insight into how a global pandemic (COVID-19) impacted LED in various regions and the different responses from different spheres.
