Research on the Talent Cultivation Model of Rural Revitalization Empowered by the Integration of Industry and Education: Taking E-commerce Major as an Example

The regional nature of higher vocational education dictates that it should take serving the local economy as its mission, integrate with local industries, and effectively contribute to rural revitalization. Taking the electronic commerce major as an example, this paper investigates the issues existing in the cultivation of electronic commerce professionals in higher vocational colleges through questionnaires and interviews. It summarizes that higher vocational colleges currently have a clear orientation for talent training objectives in e-commerce, have established an industry-education integration model, and possess a certain level of awareness in cultivating talents for rural e-commerce. At the same time, it identifies issues such as low employment rates among electronic commerce graduates and a lack of alignment with rural enterprises, insufficient practical experience among electronic commerce teachers, and inadequate curriculum alignment between electronic commerce courses and rural e-commerce. In response, the paper puts forward suggestions and opinions on a three-pronged approach involving the relevant departments, enterprises, and universities to empower talent cultivation for rural revitalization through industry-finance integration.

Value Orientation and Significant Insights as well as Critical Review on Major Challenges and Significant Opportunities on Commerce and Management Education in India

It has been widely debated that while scholars like Nitin Nohria Dean Harvard Business School from Indian origin are leading the world’s top B-Schools; BSchools in India are struggling to find a place among the Top 100 Global Institutions. Out of top 100 institutions 55 are from USA followed by U.K and Canada. India’s expenditure on education as a % of GDP is more i.e. 4.1% compared to 3.6% in Japan and 3.8% in Russia. We often question on the quality of “Made in China “products, but China have clearly excelled India in terms of the quality of management education. There are 10 AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) accredited institutions in China as compare to none in India., when there are more than 2000 business schools in India as compared to around 230 in China. The management education in India is in pathetic state. Every year more than 1, 10,000 management graduates pass out from various B-Schools, but not even 5% of them reach the professional heights within 5 years of their career. India B-School concentrates on the quantity rather than quality. It had become money based rather than value based. Industry exposure forms a vital part of management studies and the present system does not provide adequate interfaces with the industry. . Commerce generally refers to the exchange of products, services, and anything that make these exchanges easier. In India, commerce education is a key factor in the country's economic growth. Students majoring in commerce often land jobs in industries including banking, insurance, finance, and foreign trade. Therefore, it is crucial to pay attention to this matter. Today's commerce education is facing several severe concerns, including an aging curriculum and increased student unemployment. To gain the full picture, significant studies and literature have been evaluated. It has been discovered that students are becoming less interested in studying commerce. For graduates in the business field, employment opportunities are many. There are numerous employment options available to them. People from all walks of life contribute to the function of finance and accounting in society. Everyday activities such as accounting and finance affect everyone. The leadership of an organization often determines its success. The capacity of regular employees and specialized people to efficiently support management with day-to-day operations by analyzing issues and offering solutions. Students who choose the commerce course can find employment in almost any sector that uses finance. Today, finance is used in practically all industries. Comparing with other top B-schools in India and abroad under the present curriculum, designed by the Indian Universities, the time allotted for industry exposure is about two to three months, which is comparatively low compared to the other top Bschools. Also there is a lack of coordination between Academic and Industry. This paper is an effort to examine the present scenario and drawbacks of management education in India. Also to find out ways to improve it, so that it can be considered at par with the global standards.

Factor structures associated with online student engagement in campus-based blended and online distance education settings

This research is strictly grounded in the work undertaken by Coates regarding traditional campus-based settings of student engagement and was applied to the online settings positioned within the domain settings of blended online learning design and practice in an Australian higher education business context. Utilising an online student survey instrument, across two consecutive academic years, undergraduate commerce students were invited to reflect upon their learning engagement experience through the lens of a common learning management system (LMS) a resource accessible to both campus-based and off-campus student cohorts. Subsequent analysis of the research reconfirms the existence of student engagement constructs of Coates in the blended online setting, but also unexpectedly revealed a previously unknown construct relating to Assessment. This new student engagement construct, Assessment, is identified as being a significant motivational factor relevant to student engagement in the context of the blended online learning environment of this higher education business undergraduate commerce course and is the focus of this exposition.

Los polskiego inteligenta na przykładzie dziejów Ignacego Zielińskiego – byłego żołnierza Polskich Sił Zbrojnych na Zachodzie, ekonomisty, pedagoga, lektora i tłumacza języka angielskiego. Studium biograficzno-archiwalne

The article reminisces about the fate of a former soldier of the Polish Armed Forces in the West, economist, educator, English lector and translator – Ignacy Zieliński. The warfare caused his relocation from France to Great Britain, where as a second lieutenant of arms, delegated to Glasgow in 1941, he started working in civil education at the Center of the Correspondence Course in Commerce. Then, as the director of the Henry Brun State Secondary School of Commerce in Glasgow, he contributed to the creation of, and headed, the State Merchant Junior High School in Glasgow. Author of the script entitled Commercial arithmetic . During his stay in Great Britain, he could have completed his PhD studies at the Faculty of Arts at the Scottish University. He returned to Poland by sea on the 21st of February 1946. Despite the harassment and surveillance by the communist authorities, he has been associated with economic vocational education since then. Mr. Zieliński served various administrative functions – he was the deputy director of the Commercial High School in Łódź. Dismissed for political reasons in September 1952, he was rehabilitated on a wave of „thaw” in January 1957 by the Rehabilitation Commission at the Teachers' Union of the Polish Lodz District and reemployed afterwards. Until his retirement in 1965, he continued teaching vocational subjects, working as a sworn translator and an English language teacher. After quitting his professional career, he focused on conducting English courses and translations. He died in 1971.

User acceptance in a computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environment with social network awareness (SNA) support

Although many e-learning studies have applied the unified theory of acceptance and usage of technology (UTAUT) to investigate user acceptance, their findings have been inconsistent. One of reasons is that the user acceptance model of an e-learning system can be determined by the new information technologies (or mechanisms) the e-learning system utilises. Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) with social network awareness (SNA) mechanisms has been widely adopted because it can enhance online collaborative learning effectiveness. Since new SNA mechanisms are expected to have a huge impact on user acceptance in CSCL environments, this study extends UTAUT to investigate user acceptance of an SNA CSCL environment. This study empirically evaluated the extended model by surveying 186 undergraduates, who had completed a 5-week electric commerce course in an SNA CSCL environment. The findings indicated that the SNA mechanism substantially strengthened the effect of social influence on behavioural intention to use the SNA CSCL system. Compared with other CSCL studies, the predictive power of social influence in this study was higher, while that of other determinants (i.e., performance expectancy and effort expectancy) in this study were lower. The extended model demonstrated higher explanatory power compared to models used in other CSCL studies.

The blend justifies the means: The relationships between lecturer use of online content in-class, student age, and student self-stated understanding, with students' use of online content out-of-class in a blended commerce course

With the increasing adoption of blended (flipped/ hybrid) learning year-by-year this century in higher education, the need for research on the learner experience in blended learning courses is an essential emerging body of literature, but it is one particularly under-represented in Asia. Furthermore, the assumptions emergent from a largely Western milieu investigating mostly Western students in Western University settings need to be tested in an Asian context. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to understand whether relationships exist between three hitherto well-researched factors - lecturer use of online content in teaching, the students’ ages and students’ understanding of content – and the participation online of working adult students enrolled in a Higher Education Blended course, but crucially one in a Singaporean Higher Education setting. The methodology employs a survey of students (n=1,047) analyzed using the Pearson Chi-Square test of independence. The findings show relationships between all three and student online participation and challenges previously held views that students in high teacher-dependency cultures like Singapore find blended and online learning inferior to traditional modes.

Psychological Capital, a Unique Resource to Develop Effective Managers; Relationship with Creativity, Achievement Motivation and Stress

Psychological capital (PsyCap), a higher order multidimensional human capacity is composed of hope, (self) efficacy, resilience and optimism (HERO). All four constituent constructs have strong theoretical base, valid measures, are non-imitable, and are state-like which makes them open to development. Research over years indicates that PsyCap is a positive predictor of various organizational and individual level positive attitudes, behaviors, and performance measures, and is negatively related to undesired outcome variables. PsyCap is such unique and developable psychological resource, which future managers, must possess in order to survive, excel, and positively contribute in business environment. The study hypothesized that psychological capital is positive predictor of individual creativity, achievement motivation, and negative predictor of perceived stress. Literature indicates these three variables have significant impact on success in professional life, for both traditionally employed and self-employed individuals. To empirically test the hypothesis, data was collected from 165 final year university students enrolled in Information technology and commerce courses. The positive and significant results from path analysis indicated that PsyCap is indeed a substantial predictor of the three constructs as hypothesized. Efforts to develop individual PsyCap at university level and in professional life can considerably guarantee a successful manager in future.

Creativity and Innovation in Research and Scope for Multidisciplinary Research

This paper discusses something about research in general and multidisciplinary research in particular, the context being a Post Graduate Course in Commerce or Management. Improvements in the development of the three ‘master’ skills of creativity, critical thinking and influence are essential for developing the next generation of researchers. Their future careers are set against a backdrop of economic turbulence, an increasing demand for capabilities in these skills in the private sector, a growing requirement to demonstrate impact beyond publications with their research and a career trajectory that is unpredictable and short‐term.In the research-process, some focus on process, some on philosophies. We must also develop best practices in doing research and continue with them until we get a new idea to put into practice. Multidisciplinary research is definitely a buzzword of our time; it regularly decorates the pages of funding proposals and applications, scientific reports, and our professional language. However, after the applications are sent, funding is provided, and papers are published, how do we know that the work was actually multidisciplinary, or even close to it? Time to ponder!

A Sustainable Approach to Teaching Information Literacy: Reaching the Masses Online

The University of Auckland's business faculty has an annual undergraduate intake of close to 2,000 students. This presents challenges when teaching an information literacy skills program, in particular how to provide an equitable lesson, accessible to all, that is able to be taught in a sustainable way. To address these issues the business librarians, in collaboration with the University's Centre for Academic Development, produced an online tutorial about business information. The tutorial was modular, with each module addressing an aspect of understanding, searching, evaluating, and citing business information. In 2010 the tutorial was included in a core Bachelor of Commerce course as an assessed piece of work. After the assessment period a formal evaluation of the tutorial was completed with 125 students answering questions about the usefulness of the skills learnt, clarity of instructions, and difficulty of content. The findings were positive with almost two thirds of students indicating they would continue to refer to the tutorial in their future studies.

A new broom sweeps clean: developing a learning cycle tailored for e-commerce courses

The educational and pedagogical challenges for teaching electronic commerce courses still is an area that has not been extensively explored. This paper describes the development, implementation and evaluation of a learning cycle specifically tailored for e-commerce courses.

Differences in Adult Attachment Style, Career Choice and Career Satisfaction for Occupational Therapy and Commerce Students

Adult attachment theory has been portrayed as a framework from which to conceptualise career choice, with evidence that occupational therapy students report both a high rate of secure attachment and high levels of satisfaction with their career choice (Roney et al 2004). These findings appear to support the notion that those with secure attachment styles are drawn to the people-oriented, care-giving nature of occupational therapy. The present study was undertaken to test this assumption further by comparing students from first-year occupational therapy and commerce courses: two courses perceived to differ in their focus on care giving. One hundred and fifty-three university students (n = 53 occupational therapy, n = 100 commerce) completed a questionnaire encompassing demographic information, adult attachment styles, factors influencing career choice and the level of satisfaction with this choice. A significant difference in the attachment styles between the two groups (p <0.03) was noted, with more occupational therapy students identified as ‘secure’, and fewer as ‘preoccupied’ or ‘dismissing’, compared with students from the commerce courses. Occupational therapy students were also more satisfied with their choice of career. This result lends support to the theory that securely attached students are both attracted to and satisfied with the more caring professions, such as occupational therapy.

Evaluating the use of synchronous communication in two blended courses

Abstract Residential universities are increasingly integrating online interaction within courses in the form of synchronous online chats, asynchronous online discussions and access to interactive resources. This article evaluates the educational effectiveness of online chats within a Humanities postgraduate course and a final year Commerce course. We consider the roles of course design, group dynamics, and facilitation style in the successful use of online collaboration within primarily face‐to‐face courses, as well as the potential for online collaboration within a blended course design to facilitate more inclusive learning conversations than are possible with exclusively face‐to‐face interaction.

Contempo 1997: Economics-Reply

In Reply. —Dr Yaes properly reminds us that, because of their superior technical knowledge in medical matters, physicians necessarily act as their patients' agents when they formulate the treatment plan for a given illness. I do not disagree with that characterization, nor with the proposition that this relationship imposes special fiduciary obligations on physicians. Many other professionals perform a similar agency function and bear similar moral obligations. It is the case that suppliers in the normal course of commerce do not play this fiduciary role. Nevertheless, as I always point out to my students, the surest way for capitalists to amass wealth is to please their customers. For that reason, it is not self-evident that health systems owned by general investors and managed by MBAs would be more likely to abuse patients than would health systems owned by investors with MD degrees and managed by physicians. I suspect that the next decade

Students’ Selection in Vocational Commercial Education in Finland

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to examine the selection process in vocational education in the basic course of commerce and administration, where students’ selection occurs in two stages. The basic course is selected by application to vocational education (1st stage) and after a specialization period at the end of the one‐year introduction period (2nd stage). This study is interested in the latter stage when students make their choice concerning the level of specialization (school/lower or institute/higher). The article is concerned with the equality of education according to social background and gender in this context. The results are analyzed by log‐linear models.

Interference with Performance of a Fiduciary Obligation

The enactment of the Trust Law, 1979, not only introduced the institution of trusts into Israeli law with complete and final validity, but it also focussed current legal attention on the primary duty derived from the function of the trustee, i.e. the duty to act loyally. The word “trust” denotes the institution, but it is also an expression of the nature of the relationship between trustee and beneficiary: a personal relationship based on mutual trust. The obligation to act loyally, which will henceforth be called the “fiduciary obligation” arose from the English institution of trusts, but was not confined by its bounds. It spread to a variety of relationships to which English law applied “fortified” norms, more demanding and more strict than those prevailing in the regular course of commerce.

The Stimulative and Correlative Value of a Well-Balanced Course in Commerce and Industry

The title commerce and industry is the name which the writer prefers should be given to the subject which is usually taught in secondary schools under the name of geography. Probably this title was adopted because during the eighteenth century in European schools patronized by the trading classes there was taught, under the name of traders' a body of information concerning things useful for a merchant to know with special reference to trade and transportation. This name, is not a fortunate one, since the information imparted, while it has a geographical bearing, is not chiefly geographical as its title suggests. Professor Lyde, recognized as one of the great authorities on geography, says: There is no essential difference whatever in the end in view, the principles involved, or the method to be used, between teaching geography from the economic point of view and teaching it from any other point of view .... And it is, therefore, a cause for much regret that the teaching of the science from this point of view ever came to be called the teaching of geography. I think that no other single word ever did so much harm to the teaching of any subject, for it made writers write and-still worse-teachers teach as though all the importance lay, not in the end proposed, the underlying principles, or the practical method, but in the commercial products-which are always incidental and often absolutely immaterial.'
