Abstract

The growing demand for analytics-skilled professionals in today’s digital economy has led higher education institutions (HEIs) worldwide to offer business intelligence and analytics (BI/BA) programs. However, BI/BA education is still in its early stages, with noticeable curriculum structure and pedagogical methods discrepancies. Thus, this study seeks to comprehensively evaluate BI/BA education research and unveil its evolving intellectual framework. Guided by the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, it employs a bibliometric analysis of Scopus-indexed BI/BA education research published between 2005 and 2023. Utilizing both VOSviewer and Biblioshiny, the findings revealed that BI/BA education research has surged dramatically since 2018. Researchers based in the United States have been instrumental in advancing this research domain and fostering international research collaborations. Our findings underscored two key emerging research trends: i) Integrating BI/BA knowledge into business and IT programs and ii) Incorporating industry 4.0 (IR4.0) technologies into the BI/BA curriculum. The findings call for more research collaborations with leading BI/BA institutes in the United States and China to leverage their rich knowledge and expertise. Furthermore, HEIs and future researchers shall focus on aligning curricula with the advancing digital technologies to ensure graduates possess a holistic and current skill set.

The main focus of this paper is to examine the best practices of selected waqaf entities in Malaysia and Saudi Arabia. The waqaf entities involved in this study include two corporate waqaf institutions namely Kumpulan Waqaf An-Nur Berhad and IIUM Endowment Fund and five waqaf entities under Islamic Development Bank in Saudi Arabia.This study analyses projects and programs undertaken by these selected waqf entites to achieve their respective objectives.  Such a comparison is necessary considering the diverse experiences of these selected waqaf entities in view of the differences in their endowments and different corporate management models. The paper concludes that these waqaf entities have adopted an innovative approach developing waqf programs and experimenting new ways of managing and investing waqaf assets. They have created opportunities for the improvement of waqaf institutions and revitalize the potentials of these waqaf assets to yield greater benefits to the society.

Abstract

Purpose: This research aims to identify the variables that impact both the financial and non-financial performances of Afghan women-owned businesses.Method: This study utilized a descriptive, cross-sectional design with a quantitative approach, employing a Structural Equation Model (SEM) to assess the influence of push and pull factors on the success of female entrepreneurs. A purposive sample of 308 women-led Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) in Kandahar, Afghanistan, was surveyed using a structured questionnaire.Result: The study identified key determinants influencing both the financial and non-financial performance of women entrepreneurs. Significant factors include familial support and motivation, access to financial resources, availability of training and professional development opportunities, and support from governmental and non-governmental organizations. Conversely, self-independence, self-efficacy, and access to professional networks did not exhibit a statistically significant positive impact on business performance.Practical Implications for Economic Growth and Development: This article outlines key strategies for enhancing the business environment and success of female entrepreneurs. The findings provide a basis for policymakers to design supportive frameworks that foster the growth and sustainability of women-led enterprises. By identifying critical success factors, the study contributes to the empowerment of female entrepreneurs and their transformative role in driving innovation, job creation, economic development, and poverty alleviation.Originality/Value: Although there is ample research on female entrepreneurs, a notable gap exists in studies that explicitly examine the factors influencing their financial and non-financial success, particularly in war-torn areas such as Kandahar. This paper explores significant topics and advocates for further investigation in this field.
