The Interactive Effect of Uncertainty Avoidance Cultural Values and Leadership Styles on Open Service Innovation: A Look at Malaysian Healthcare Sector

Aim: This paper investigates the International summer School model in China with two objectives: evaluating the curriculum and its features and analyzing the application of the Triple Helix Theory of Innovation. A survey of students in the UnivPlus-BSU Shanghai Program and UnivPlus-FSU Beijing Program was conducted in the summer of 2019. Methodology: A survey of 13 questions was disseminated to 115 students from BSU (Shanghai) and FSU (Beijing). The authors collected instructional data from students and faculty involved in the summer programs. The survey was answered on a volunteer basis and was uneven in number on each campus. Findings: UnivPlus is one of the successful organizations that operate international summer schools in China for Chinese overseas students who are enrolled at U.S. and Canadian universities and take advantage of their home vacations in China to study and earn transfer credits. The Triple Helix Model of innovation refers to interactions between university, industry/business, and government fostering economic and social development. International summer schools in China are a new phenomenon and a good example of the Triple Helix innovation Model. The paper's findings indicate a positive relationship between the collaboration of institutions in the U.S., China, and Canada, effective time management, motivations, and qualitative faculty support for students. Our findings reflect the inspiration of all parties to increase innovation and competitiveness in academia to benefit student learning and enhance their knowledge and intercultural competencies. Implications/Novel Contribution: The success of this program encourages academic leaders at BSU to the potential implementation of summer programs in Japan and Jordan. The international summer program offers Chinese students opportunities to complete some of their courses while visiting their families in the summer with the assurance to transfer credits for equivalent courses at their home universities. This approval process is comparatively easy and unquestionable.

“…Indeed, the word was used by a group of French ethnologist administrators specializing in West African Islam at the crossroads of a scientific claim and a political project (Hajjat & Mohammad, 2013) to describe, on the one hand, a "governmental Islamophobia" insofar as Muslims are excluded in the French colonial system of administration, and on the other hand. Part, a "learned and clerical Islamophobia" transmitted prejudices about Islam and disinformation of this belief (Delafosse, 1910;Jam, Singh, Ng, & Aziz, 2018).…”

Aim: The evolution of the Internet network has given many opportunities to Internet users to communicate and share information worldwide. The advent of blogs and social networks on the internet in recent years has allowed people to meet and share their opinions freely and anonymously. Thus, with the recent rise of Islamophobia in the West, after several attacks committed by fanatical terrorists attributed to Muslims, we have seen that it is important to verify the relationship between social networks and the phenomenon of Islamophobia. Methodology: Our research methodology was based on the questionnaire as a data collection tool and then the use of content analysis to obtain the results. Findings: The research findings confirmed the important role that social media plays in the rise of Islamophobia since its emergence. Implications/Novel Contribution: The efforts made to present a synthesis of works on Islamophobia, particularly those related to social networks, constituted an important step in this study and made it possible to highlight a certain number of studies that have dealt with the relationship between our two variables.

“…After the arrival of e-tourism, with the development of online sales sites for tourism services, the sector experienced the m-tourism revolution; via the rise of smartphones and the applications accompanying them. But innovation is also generated by new expectations from tourist customers, whether in their consumption mode or in the products and services they seek, responding to new concerns (Sun, Duru, Razzaq, & Dinca, 2021;Jam, Singh, Ng, Aziz, et al, 2018). Current trends are to seek more authenticity, respect for the environment; local development; travel experiences, etc.…”

Aim: The Ourika valley, located less than an hour from the red city of Marrakech, is undergoing diverse and rapid environmental, demographic, socio-cultural, economic, etc., natural changes. These changes also affect the traditional production systems and the local way of life. Our research axis will lead the reflection and inscribe it in the framework of a territory project aiming at structuring these resources/territory (what can be done; what happens there; offers channels; events). Innovation, valorization, combination, and connection give different forms of wellness tourism a transversal and sustainable territorial approach. Methodology: To address our research problem, we chose the quantitative method based on the objective observation of phenomena and events that exist and independently of the researcher who measures them. It can analyze the data by exploration and generalizing the results to the entire population. Findings: The product of the tourist gardens constitutes an opportunity to be seized to supplement the current tourist activity in the valley with a new one. And the aromatic and medicinal plants are no longer to be demonstrated or described in the OURIKA valley. Indeed, this industry is well established, well managed, and has a very strong image. Several national and international brands are supplied with these plants and recognize their quality and value in cosmetics, care, and well-being. Implications/Novel Contribution: The current study sheds light on the tourism sector in Morocco, as well as the innovative variables that contribute to the enhancement of tourist-related activities in the region.
