Conventional classroom instruction had already been transformed in to electronic mode of teaching and learning. Use of mobile technology is evolving in global and local context, as in Pakistan. Gaining insights from Media Richness Theory, the study intends to examine how m-learning pedagogy, opens up avenues for students’ learning and enhances their educational performance, endorsed by facilitation discourse and flexibility. In this cross-sectional study, data was collected from students in Private Universities in Lahore Pakistan. Drawing results from structural equation modelling, findings revealed that use of mobile devices is on great demand for providing flexible and discussion-oriented learning to students and lifts up their academic output. Facilitation discourse and flexibility play a robust intervening role in producing pronounced impact of m-learning on learners’ effectiveness.

Transformational Leadership as an essential component of organizations plays highly supportive role in sustaining organizations’ performance during disastrous conditions through development of organizational resilience. The research study investigates the effect of transformational leadership on organizational resilience with an intervening role of organizational learning as mediator. The study being quantitative exploration involves primary data collection from managerial level employees working in NGOs operating in Lahore, Pakistan, using survey questionnaire. The results of the study lead to conclude that transformational leadership has a direct positive effect on development of resilient NGOs, but the indirect effect, involving organizational learning as mediator, is insignificant. Therefore, under crisis contingencies, transformational leaders tend to support individuals and organizations in order to respond and recover from losses, through motivation, inspiration and provision of strong vision rather than promoting learning and enhancing intellectual resources of the organizational members.

The paper seeks to examine the effect of knowledge management on resilience and performance of emergent financial technology startups (Fintechs) in Lahore, Pakistan through the development of dynamic capabilities when confronted with environmental dynamism. Based on the tentative deductions derived from Dynamic Capability View (DCV)  of emergent financial sector ventures, this paper employs Partial Least Square for Structured  Equation Modeling to investigate these hypotheses. Sample of current cross-sectional study involves empirical analysis performed on primary data assembled from knowledge workers employed in emergent financial technology startups. Knowledge management practices also have a positive impact on the developing dynamic capabilities of the organization. Implementation of effective knowledge management practices results in reconfiguring and advancing the companies’ dynamic competencies under the conditions of dynamism and unexpected changes occurring in the external business environment.  Consequently, fin-techs succeed in accomplishing their goals of spirit, adaptive capacity i.e. increased resilience and escalated performance.

Educational management studies are now established as a way to infuse students with various pedagogic as well as didactic principles. The approaches are now switching from reading and lecture-based modes to analytical case-studies and problem-oriented learning methodologies. These inclusive development procedures are undertaken by educational institutions jointly in partnership with industry associates. This research paper highlights the consequences of learning practices in reducing the gap between corporate and academic entities through involvement in the problem-based learning methodology which is frequently utilized in business and medical studies at the Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) of Pakistan. The paper investigates how the pedagogical method of problem-based learning is significant in meeting the changing needs of industry through enhancing the proficiency of graduates to manage corporate challenges in volatile external environments. The results lead us to conclude that problem-based learning at HEIs plays a substantial role in upgrading the potential of graduates to serve competitively in corporate sectors, thus realizing the inherent existence of strong ties between commercial and educational management sectors. Hence, PBL serves to be a more effective approach than the traditional teaching methodologies for producing better knowledge outcomes in terms of capable alumnae to serve at commercial levels.
