Speech Title: Employees Conduct vs Private Interests: Prosecution vs Values Abstract: Pursue of the personal and family benefits over the employers loyalty and honesty is genetically and culturally conditioned. The problem is global and exists ever since we developed first social groups, some 200’000-300’000 years ago. Mitigation by sophisticated countermeasures and prosecution is challenged by the criminal creativity of the employees. Generally higher corruption perception index is paired with less efforts in controlling and prosecution. Often the employees exercise the privately oriented activities being unaware about the impact on their handling of their job or even that they are crossing the law. Missing sensitivity stretches from unqualified employee up to the highest echelons both, in private and in public sector.
The preference for the family benefits amid moral dilemma is also conditioned by our neural brain operation. The cognitive part of cortex (where the values are evaluated) vote with amygdale cells (where emotions are placed) on any decision making. As amygdale cells are usually stronger and better developed, our decisions are in most cases determined by our emotions.
Heuristics indicate a causal relationship between one’s own values and his or her handling. Critical is here the coherence of the personal values and behavior: often humans tends to the double moral standards. The deliberate development of the moral standards and social group values, are considered to be the only efficient and sustainable solution to the problem. |

Speech Title: How Female executives’ Participation Degree Affects Executive Compensation Arrangements Abstract: This report examines how female executives’ participation degree (FEPD) directly affects various dimensions of executive compensation, including Executive Compensation Level (ECL), Executive Compensation Gap (ECG), Executive-Employee Compensation Gap (EECG), Executive Compensation-Performance Sensitivity (ECPS), Executive Compensation-Social Responsibility Link (ECSRL), Executive Compensation’s Innovation Orientation Degree (ECIOD), Excessive Executive Compensation (EEC), Equity-Based Executive Compensation(EBEC).
Several interesting findings have been reached. (1) On the whole, FEED increases ECL weakly but significantly. Moreover, FEED is positively linked with the adoption of Market-Leading Compensation Strategy, negatively linked with the adoption of Market-Lagged Compensation Strategy, and independent of the appearance of Market-Following Compensation Strategy. Inconsistent with this conclusion, female CFO is negatively related to lower ECL. (2) FEED intends to lower ECG and widen EECG. (3) On the whole, FEED increases ECPS of high-risk companies and decreases ECPS of low-risk companies. Moreover, FEED is positively linked with the adoption possibility of Moderately Flexible Compensation Strategy, and negatively linked with the adoption possibility of Highly Flexible Compensation Strategy. (4) FEED favors higher ECSRL, while female CFO shows negative attitudes towards ECSRL. (5) FEED holds positive attitudes towards ECIOD in high-tech firms of Gem, while shows negative effects on ECIOD in listed firms of Main Board. (6) Contrary to the original theoretical expectation, FEED is positively related to EEC. (7) FEED improves the adoption possibility of EBEC, though weakly but significantly. This keynote speech is a collection of phased achievements of a research project supported by National Social Science Foundation titled "A Comprehensive Investigation on Compensation Correction Effect of Female Executives’ Participation Degree and Its Performance Consequences (20BGL147)". |

Speech Title: Critical interactive risks in project portfolios from the life cycle perspective Abstract: The need for enterprises to manage project portfolio risks over the life cycle has become increasingly prominent. It is essential to evaluate and manage them to achieve project portfolios and organizations’ success. Unlike project risk, project portfolio risk is more complex and uncertain due to risk interactions. Risk management is unsatisfactory in project portfolios due to the lack of awareness of risk interactions and the life cycle. The purpose of this study is to identify the critical risks of project portfolios over the life cycle considering risk interactions. We primarily verified 20 identified risks through a questionnaire survey and an expert interview method and evaluated the interactions among them using the Delphi method. Furthermore, risk interactions were analyzed using the social network analysis (SNA) methodology to determine the important risks. Finally, a comprehensive evaluation of important risks was carried out to identify critical risks according to the evaluation principles. The results identified six critical portfolio risks, two key risk contagion paths and revealed risk characteristics of different life cycle phases. This research considerably contributes to the body of knowledge pertaining to project portfolio management that will enable organizations that implement project portfolios and similar multi projects to emphasize critical risks.

Speech Title: When Customer Experience meets the Knowledge Management - The Advent of Customer Experiential Knowledge Management Approach (CEKM) in Business Research Abstract: My keynote will advance the Customer Experiential Knowledge Management Approach as a breakthrough contribution in Business Research. The objective will be to highlight its theoretical and managerial contributions respectively, to researchers and practitioners. CEKM approach stresses the key role of going beyond the explicit knowledge to manage the tacit knowledge emanated from the customer experience. Both contexts are concerned, whatever, the offline or the online the online context. In this regard, the CEKM approach will outline the digital age as a key side to strengthen the competitive advantage of companies. On the one hand, the challenge is to explain to the audience how to connect the customer knowledge management to the customer lived service experience. It follows that, the CEKM conceptualization will present the customer experiential knowledge CEK (new concept introduced and defined for the first time by Jaziri, 2013, 2015). On the other hand, I will stress the key role of the CEKM approach in boosting innovation. Then, a strategic model of CEKM (Jaziri, 2019), integrating the customer experience processed through the knowledge management, is proposed. Finally, I will discuss main practical implications in terms of key organizational competencies to defend the CEKM as an organizational approach joining two main fields the –Consumption Experience- and –the customer knowledge Management.

Speech Title: The Rapid Economic Growth and Sustainability of UAE: Subject to Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) or Oil? Abstract: Oil is a strategic resource for many industries, including rubber & synthetic production, pharmaceuticals, and unique consumption, such as fuels and lubricants. As a result, Oil has attracted the attention of most countries and industry sectors as a whole, which extract crude Oil for its economic value. Oil prices affect developing countries, particularly those based on natural resources, whose economies are highly dependent on the oil & gas industry and FDI. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) had established a stable economic environment for future generations successfully and steadily. This study explores the effects between foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows, Oil, and economic growth using a novel dynamic autoregressive distributed lag (DADL) simulation model over the annual data from 1990-2020 for UAE. This study depicts that oil prices and FDI inflows have a positive and significant effect on rapid GDP growth under the framework. In addition, the elasticity of FDI inflows validates the importance of rapid growth in the long and short run. The policymaker should galvanize more FDI inflows to foster rapid and sustainable development via encouraging investment in the country's oil sector.

Speech Title: The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on SMEs: An Analysis of Malaysia's Policy Response Abstract: Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have been critical to a nation's economic and social development, including Malaysia. It employs more than 60% of the workforce and accounts for more than 90% of all registered businesses. Additionally, the creation of SMEs would foster creativity and innovation among young entrepreneurs and would provide a viable means for low-income households to increase their wealth through entrepreneurial activities. However, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on SMEs. Production and market demand were abruptly dropped, causing serious problems to cashflow. Along with market constraints and external factors, institutional factors have exacerbated SMEs' financial position. For instance, most SMEs have weak financial management, limited adoption of digital technologies, and insufficient knowledge and abilities in management and business. Malaysia's government has developed a series of economic stimulus packages to ensure the viability of SMEs. The extent of the packages and their impact on SMEs will be discussed and analyzed in this presentation.
