One management which does not possess a systematic or a fully completed system will cause the installation of a laboratory or workshop to not to operate smoothly. The venue selected to undergo this research was at the Institut Kemahiran Tinggi Belia Negara (IKTBN) ( ‘National Youth Advance Skill Institute’). Among the issues faced is in regards to the duration of time taken in handling the tender process which at times consumed a too long duration. Besides that, the supervision during the period of installation or maintenance is vital to ensure that the output of quality work meet the specification as in the contract. The instrument of this research uses the Interview and observation methods. The findings of this research analysis conducted had successfully revealed all of the information required. Via audio recordings recorded at the time of the interview being conducted, that is the current and thereafter information regarding the installation activity in the tender management process. Lastly, all the management’s task in respect of the installation conducted require procedures or careful steps to ensure that issues do not arise and even if there is any, it can be averted.

As the creative industry grows from the producing sector and becoming more complex in business industry, entrepreneurship will draw more attention to the need for emphasizing among SMEs in creative industry in Malaysia.

Nowadays, the Minister of Arts, Culture and Heritage takes responsibility to ensure that the implementation of creative industry in Malaysia becomes reality (Rais Yatim, 2006). So, entrepreneurship training becomes useful for creative entrepreneurs to achieve the government planning. A good infrastructure becomes useless if government cannot produce good practitioners in creative industry. Entrepreneurship training is a part of the creative entrepreneur development in business management in creative industry.

So, entrepreneurship training becomes as a first step approach among local creative entrepreneurs to develop their motivation toward successful in business in creative industry.

This study will focus on discuss the role of discussion forums in developing and keep on communities of e-learning as well as fostering and strengthened students’ learning skills and knowledge along with the instructors .It conducted on an online course at the University of Baghdad. The course was delivered via Moodle to using discussion forums as a major communication tool. A survey assessing students’ attitudes as a core factor toward discussion forums was occurring. The outcomes presented a positive attitude toward discussion forums and their role in developing and enhancing students’ study skills and knowledge. This study proposes strategies for implementing successful discussion forums.

This study has made an attempt to investigate the significant determinants of private investment in Pakistan during the time span of 43 years, from 1973 to 2013, by using ARDL technique. It has been observed in this study that real gross domestic product, real exchange rate, public investment and credit to private sector are the significant determinants of private investment and the enhancements in these variables has increased private investment in Pakistan.

In this paper we discuss the concept of total edge domination in graphs. We prove that for any connected (p,q) – graph G with ? < q - 1, t q - ? where ? denotes the maximum degree of an edge in G and characterize trees and unicyclic graphs which attain this bound. We also prove that t (S(G)) for any connected graph G. We also determine the value of total edge domatic number for some families of graphs.

Tracheoesophageal fistulas (TOF) are a rare but sometimes a severe complication of tracheotomy. Their clinical presentations, of varying severity, usually involve several symptoms. The diagnostic procedure always combines chest x-rays looking for a pneumothorax, a pneumomediastinum or an aerogastry, and bronchial fibroscopy which determines the location, size and potential severity of the lesion. Therapeutic management is based on surgical repair. Prevention of TOF is important and must represent the real treatment.

The issue on branding has been always the talks of the large-sized companies. This has been addressed in many literatures. But, these literatures little or never discussed about branding for small-medium enterprises (SMEs). Many view that branding is not the subject of SMEs around the world. The SMEs play a significant role in the development of economy especially the developing economies around the world. Hence it’s very important for every economy to focus and develop the SMEs. Effective branding is a key factor for the success of the SMEs. Effective brand development takes time. Once successful, similar, if not greater effort is required to sustain and enhance the position of the brand and the brand has to grow to remain strong. Our literature review suggests that the factors that affect branding of SMEs are the number of brands, brand equity, brand mix, consistency in brand communication, positive brand experience, brand differentiation, brand passion, push and pull brand campaign and secondary brand association.

The issue of ethical leadership have received significant interest in recent years due to plethora of ethical scandals in organizations.

Even though many researchers attempt to explore and determine the antecedents and factors of ethical leadership, yet the determinants of ethical leadership is less convincing since the results evidenced to be mixed. Together with less intention given in Malaysia to explore the determinants, hence this paper could provide a conceptual framework that would help future research endeavour.

In the present paper, unsteady MHD flow past an impulsively started vertical plate with constant wall temperature and variable mass diffusion in the presence of Hall current is studied. The fluid considered is an electrically conducting, absorbing-emitting radiation but a non-scattering medium. The Laplace transform technique has been used to find the solutions for the velocity profile and skin friction. The velocity profile and skin friction have been studied for different parameters like Schmidt number, Hall parameter, magnetic parameter, mass Grashof number, thermal Grashof number, Prandtl number, and time. The effect of parameters are shown graphically and the value of the skin-friction for different parameters has been tabulated.
