Abstract

As educational technology has improved, the effective use of simulations has greatly increased to the point where simulations should be considered a valuable, mainstream pedagogical tool. Simulations, in concert with other experiential teaching tools, allow lecturers to facilitate learning more effectively. Simulation is all about representing the real world which includes grasping the complex issues and solving intricate problems and it affects students employability rate in a way of preparing the students base on the market needs. This paper will looked into simulation content development which is all about developing, enriching and the applications of internet protocols in order to enrich the work-related competencies experience among graduate in the field of logistics and transportations and will focus on the real challenges inputs to the generic workflow of the simulation content development. The study was carried out within multi-national and local manufacturing companies, third party companies (3PL) and government agency which are selected from Peninsular Malaysia. A qualitative approach was mainly conducted to gather data in the study. It was then discovered from the study that the systems used in process of outbound and inbound are System Application Products (SAP) and Material Requirement Planning (MRP). It was further discovered that there are only four companies using Enterprises Resources Planning (ERP) and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) as part of the Suppliers Own Inventories (SOI) networking as a result of globalized business between one country to another. It was further shown that the resources involved in the outbound and inbound processes are computerized documentation i.e. email, telephones and fax well trained staff handling the processes in computer system and dealing with suppliers and customers. The study contributes to the body of knowledge on the enrichment of the students employability. It also provided practical recommendations in the area of training for the organizations and curriculum adapting and development for the universities.

Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the adoption of Load Bearing Masonry LBM system among Malaysian housing developer companies as an important aspect in decision making process. A model based on the Information Diffusion Theory (IDT) was developed and tested using the Partial Least Square (PLS) approach. The research model has proposed that the perception of the organization such as the relative advantage towards LBM system adoption has a positive influence by the organizational readiness and external supports. A questionnaire was prepared to randomly collect the data. The questionnaires were distributed to the companies in Peninsular Malaysia only. The findings indicate that the relative advantage from Rogers innovation characteristics appears as the factor for the adoption of LBM system as well organizational readiness and external support. This paper to encourage policy makers to consider these factors in future actions plans to enhance the adoption of LBM systems in the construction industry especially in housing development.

Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between technology and green technology implementation. Besides that, the author also determines the effect of government support as moderator to the relationship between technology and green technology implementation. The respondents for this study are three hundred and eighty-four (384) staff from Malaysian Public Universities in northern region. The primary data (using questionnaire) then were analysed using Statistical Packages for the Social Sciences (SPSS) by referring to Pearson Correlation, Hierarchical regression and Simple Slope analysis. The finding from Pearson Correlation shows that technology has a positive relationship with green technology implementation. Hierarchical Regression and Simple Slope analysis confirmed that government support moderates the relationship between technology and green technology implementation.
