“…Furthermore, our results align with current research on knowledge transfer in higher education institutions. Using a questionnaire design, Fauzi et al (2019) demonstrated that social networks positively influenced knowledge sharing attitudes, which positively influenced the knowledge sharing intention of academics in turn. We have expanded the current research through quantitative structural SNA, demonstrating that social networks in higher education (especially educational innovation networks) can be created and supported through networking interventions that support knowledge transfer and innovation diffusion.…”

Innovation in higher education teaching is essential to respond to global challenges and actively improve teaching (e.g. through new technologies), necessitating the implementation of educational reform programmes that fund educational innovations. Although currently deployed strategies frequently promote networks between innovators to diffuse educational innovations, little is known about the efficiency of these networks or whether they promote innovation diffusion. This study investigates a network comprising 88 higher education teachers who received funding for their educational innovations in a German university. We collected longitudinal data by asking higher education teachers from whom they adopted innovative teaching ideas and requesting self-reports on innovative teaching climate. Our findings show that the teachers’ social network had a smaller path length and more clustering than might be expected by chance. This observation might indicate that the examined educational innovation network exhibits a small-world property and allows efficient exchange of ideas among the teachers. In line with our hypotheses, the network’s initial tendency toward hierarchy and homophily decreased over time in response to strategies and network interventions. In summary, this study provides initial empirical support that educational reform programmes can create efficient educational innovation networks, facilitating innovation diffusion and promoting change in higher education teaching.

“…Studies show that knowledge sharing is an important aspect that motivates individuals to enhance entrepreneurial behaviour (Hormiga et al, 2016;De Clercq et al, 2013;Castro, Nagano, & Ribeiro, 2019). Many argue that knowledge sharing should be practiced and developed into a culture and norm in higher education as it is the place where knowledge is disseminated and celebrated (Fauzi, Tan, Thurasamy, & Ojo, 2019c). All the four variables of transformational leadership are predicted to have positive significant impact on knowledge sharing.…”

The objective of the article is to understand entrepreneurial abilities of students in Malaysian higher education system. Hence, the role of transformational leadership, psychological empowerment, and knowledge sharing in inducing this behaviour are imperative to ensure that students are inclined to and familiar with entrepreneurial activities during their studies. Research Design & Methods: This research focused on Malaysian undergraduate students' entrepreneurial behaviour and related antecedents. A group of 177 undergraduate students from various engineering programs was collected. A partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was conducted to analyse the relationship between entrepreneurial behaviour and related antecedents. Findings: The results show that among the four transformational factors, inspirational motivation is deemed to be the strongest predictor of both knowledge sharing and entrepreneurial behaviour. This is followed by an individualised consideration which tracks full significant impact and partial impact on knowledge sharing and entrepreneurial behaviour. On the other hand, idealised influence and intellectual stimulation show no effect, while psychological empowerment and knowledge sharing show a significant impact on entrepreneurial behaviour. Implications & Recommendations:The outcomes of this study would benefit stakeholders in implementing entrepreneurial activities and foster successful implementation in the curriculum of the Malaysian higher education system. Contribution & Value Added: This study contributes to the body of knowledge in the relationship of knowledge sharing, transformational leadership style, and entrepreneurial behaviour of students in Malaysian higher education institutions.

“…It is undeniable that the emergence of cryptocurrency will play a significant role in the world's economic fabric. It is the fact that every economist, researchers, investors alike has to act and considerable measures to strengthen their knowledge on the blockchain technology in general (Fauzi et al, 2019;Fauzi et al, 2018a). As cryptocurrency has not yet reached maturity in term of time frame, further studies on its technology, potential and risk should be studied to ensure that the opportunities are not just a mere fluke.…”

Bitcoin and other prominent cryptocurrencies have gained much attention since the last several years. Globally known as digital coin and virtual currency, this cryptocurrency is gained and traded within the blockchain system. The blockchain technology adopted in using the cryptocurrency has raised the eyebrows within the banking sector, government, stakeholders and individual investors. The rise of the cryptocurrency within this decade since the inception of Bitcoin in 2009 has taken the market by storm. Cryptocurrency is anticipated as the future currency that might replace the current paper currency worldwide. Even though the interest has caught the attention of users, many are not aware of its opportunities, drawbacks and challenges for the future. Researches on cryptocurrencies are still lacking and still at its infancy stage. In providing substantial guide and view to the academic field and users, this paper will discuss the opportunities in the cryptocurrency such as the security of its technology, low transaction cost and high investment return. The originality of this paper is on the discussion within law and regulation, high energy consumption, possibility of crash and bubble, and attacks on network. The future undertakings of cryptocurrency and its application will be systematically reviewed in this paper.
