In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, organisations are challenged to strategically deploy digital resources to secure competitive advantage. Drawing upon the Resource-Based View (RBV) theory, this paper explores the intricate interplay between digital resources and organisational success. Through thematic analysis of empirical literature, the study delves into key facets such as data utilisation, digital platforms, technological capabilities, talent management, agility, and strategic partnerships. Methodologically, qualitative research techniques, notably thematic analysis, are employed to synthesise existing research findings. The study uncovered that human capital is pivotal in propelling digital transformation and fostering innovation. Organisational success in the digital era relies on implementing effective methods for managing digital talent, including recruiting, training, and keeping workers with digital competence. The study also highlights the strategic significance of digital resource utilisation within the RBV framework. Finally, the paper presents practical implications for organisational leaders seeking to harness digital resources effectively to achieve sustainable competitive advantage in the digital era. Findings underscore the strategic importance of digital resource utilisation in enhancing organisational competitiveness and driving long-term growth. The study contributes to understanding how organisations can optimally leverage digital resources within the RBV framework.

Purpose: This review synthesizes research on perceptions and misconceptions about epilepsy across various countries, exploring beliefs that attribute epilepsy to supernatural causes, contagion, or mental retardation. It hypothesizes that these misconceptions contribute to the stigmatization and social exclusion of individuals with epilepsy (PwE). Research Design and Methodology: The review compiles findings from studies conducted in Mali, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Ethiopia. These studies focus on teachers, parents, and community members and employ qualitative methods such as surveys and interviews. Sampling methodologies vary but include educational and community-based settings. Findings and Discussion: The findings indicate that epilepsy-related misconceptions are widespread, leading to stigma and exclusion from education, employment, and social interactions. Many communities view epilepsy as contagious or caused by supernatural forces, reinforcing discrimination. Teachers and parents play a role in perpetuating these beliefs, further marginalizing PwE. Implications: Addressing epilepsy-related stigma requires targeted education and awareness programs. Healthcare professionals, educators, and community leaders must challenge misconceptions and promote inclusive environments. The review highlights the need for culturally sensitive interventions and further research on effective stigma-reduction strategies.

Healthcare faces significant digital transformation, urging medical schemes to innovate for competitiveness and member satisfaction. This study investigates how brand extension and service innovation can enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of medical schemes, focusing on differentiation and value delivery. Driven by digital transformation and consumer demands, medical schemes must adopt innovative strategies to effectively meet evolving healthcare needs. This study uses qualitative methods, including literature review and case study analysis, to examine brand extension and service innovation in healthcare. Using data from various medical schemes, a longitudinal analysis conducted from 2015 to 2022 on adopting Efficiency Discount Options (EDOs) versus non-EDO options. It also included a comparative cost analysis and case studies to assess the impact of digital transformation. Of the ten medical schemes analyzed over the period 2016-2022, EDOs grew significantly from 9% in 2016 to 31% in 2022, providing substantial cost savings compared to non-EDO options across the analyzed medical schemes. Additionally, digital transformation in healthcare saw increased adoption of digital platforms, enhancing patient engagement and service delivery, though ethical considerations in telemedicine practices remain crucial. Brand extension and service innovation strategies can enhance member satisfaction and operational efficiency, helping medical schemes differentiate and thrive. This study provides a strategic framework for medical schemes to leverage digital advancements effectively, meet consumer expectations, and achieve sustainable growth in healthcare delivery
