“…Successful companies represent a key ingredient for developing nations. Over the years, the manufacturing industry has reported positive trends toward Malaysian development, with a growth of 3.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2020 as compared to a 2.6 percent decline in the preceding quarter (Neoh & Lai, 2021)). However, rapidly global competition and changes in the business environment, advanced technology, organisational structures, and management accounting practices (Kamal, 2015) have forced companies to implement conventional management accounting (Ahamadzadeh et al, 2011;Al-Omiri & Drury, 2007) and comprehensive quality management practices (Fullerton et al, 2014).…”

This study aims to analyse previous studies on Six Sigma, lean, Lean Six Sigma, and lean accounting as four main quality improvement practices and management frameworks of a lean organisation. This paper builds on past literature by undertaking a quantitative analysis of four business quality improvement practices in business. This study also reveals research gaps and areas of interest for future research agendas in a more comprehensive lean framework. A literature study was undertaken to gather data and information from academic journal articles. Despite a relatively large number of research findings on Six Sigma, lean, Lean Six Sigma, and lean accounting, this study discovered that they are limited to a few sectors namely, healthcare, manufacturing, and automotive industry or sector, and critical success factors as main focus have been addressed mainly by Lean Six Sigma studies. It was also shown that there is still a significant discrepancy among researchers in writing these business improvement practices, and it is noted that implementing lean accounting is a radical change to an organisation's accounting, control and measurement system.

This paper measures the human development indices of 31 inland provinces (municipalities) in China in a continuous time series during 2000-2017 according to the 2010 HDI compilation method. It uses a geographically and temporally weighted regression model for conducting an empirical study on the effects of R&D investment and network penetration on human development in each province (municipality) of China. There is significant spatial and temporal heterogeneity in the impact of R&D investment and network penetration on human development across provinces (municipalities) in China due to differences in resource endowments and economic and social development. For R&D investment, eastern provinces (municipalities) have mostly positive effects on human development, and central regions have mostly weak positive or negative effects. In contrast, western provinces (municipalities) show different development paths, with weak positive effects in the early stage and significant positive effects after 2010. Most provinces (municipalities) show a continuous and increasing positive effect for network penetration. The marginal contributions of this paper are mainly in improving the shortcomings in research perspectives, empirical methods, and research data in the study of human development influencing factors in China relative to the study of HDI itself in terms of measurement or application dimensions. This paper constructs a human development index for China, analyzes its spatial and temporal distribution, and explores the impact of R&D investment and network penetration on human development in China, with the hope of providing lessons for China and developing countries to promote the level of human development and cope with the pandemic. KeywordsR&D investment • Network penetration • Human development level • Geographically and temporally weighted regression model * Hongli Zhang

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of trade openness on the cost of financial intermediation and bank performance. Developed and developing countries are currently pursuing trade openness to achieve higher bank performance with less intermediation costs.Design/methodology/approachIn attaining the study's objectives, several regression methodologies were employed (i.e. system generalized method of moments (GMM), fixed effect, pooled ordinary least squares (OLS) and vector error correction model (VECM)). The authors tested the hypothesis on data of 885 banks from BRICS countries, which span 18 years (2000–2017).FindingsThe results from this robust study showed that embedding higher trade openness reduces financial intermediation costs and improves banks' performance. The results remain robust following the use of different estimation methods and alternative variables as proxies. In addition, results were still valid upon considering bank level, industry level and country level as control variables. It was also observed that the relation pattern holds its rigidity during “good” and “bad” times (i.e. the global financial crisis).Originality/valueThe results provide better references for bank regulators, academics and policymakers to take advantage of the low financial intermediation costs resulting from trade openness.
