In order to achieve competitive advantage in both national and international markets, universities around the world are increasingly adopting strategies for internationalisation. Internationalisation of a university refers to the process of integrating an international, intercultural and global dimension into the purpose, functions and delivery of education and research of the university. It is defined as an ongoing, future-oriented, interdisciplinary, leadership-driven vision that involves many stakeholders working to change the internal dynamics of an institution to respond and adapt appropriately to an ever-changing external environment. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the challenges of a new university to acquire a strong local academic identity and profile to answer the needs of a knowledge-based society driven by globalisation and to highlight the main challenges for the sector in the future. This research found some perceptions of the meaning of internationalisation of higher education in the Chinese context -learning for self-improvement, nationalism -which differentiate Chinese models of internationalisation from those in the West. Moreover, the dominant motivation for internationalisation in the Chinese university is academic development, which is different from the Western universities' more economic rationales. These differences can be attributed to the history of the modernisation of higher education in China, the impact of nationalist revolution on higher education and dual-managerial systems in higher education institutions (HEIs) which involve the Communist Party Committee and the university president.

“…The data collection process consists of identifying the variables or phenomena, selecting the sample, selecting the type of data required, choosing appropriate collection methods, conducting pilot study, modifying collection methods and collecting the data (Hussey & Hussey, 1997). Data collection involves procuring data from a sample of population and hence it is very important to explicitly define the sample, the sampling frame and the type of sampling method to be deployed.…”

“…A sample is made up of some of the members of the population. Sample is a representative of the entire population and is reflective of the general opinions and perceptions of the population (Hussey & Hussey, 1997).

| IMPACT OF SHORT SELLING IN FINANCIAL MARKETS ABSTRACTWith the financial crisis gripping the stock market worldwide in the last few months of 2008, there have been widespread criticisms on the process of short selling. The opponents have questioned the existence of short selling and argued about the foul play of the short selling. Following such widespread campaigning, in order to boost the investors confidence short selling was either or restricted in most of the Western markets and in the Anglo-Saxon countries. Nevertheless, the financial experts and economists were divided in the opinion of banning short selling. Many argued that such ban will affect the market efficiency and disturb the market from operating freely and fairly. Hence the current research is about the impacts or the effects the ban on short selling have on the financial markets, especially the capital markets. This study focuses on finding such effects in a neutralised approach and free from bias to any side.The research is compiled in such a way that, the literature review was conducted with an aim of uncovering the loop holes and functioning of short selling experts. Accordingly, the findings of the literature review are in the form of a list of key characteristics short selling possess which increases the efficiency of the system. These key characteristics are evaluated based on the stock price variations in the LSE. The conclusions are drawn based on the findings on the literature review and the analysis done on the stock price movements, crude oil price variation and a survey on the perception of short selling. Based on the findings, a set of recommendations are made which will help in the further understanding of the short selling.

Abstract:The rise of electronic commerce and the Internet have created new technologies and capabilities, which increase concern for privacy online. This study reports on the results of an investigation of Internet users attitudes towards concern for privacy online, online behaviours adopted under varying levels of concern for privacy (high, moderate and low) and the types of information Internet users are protective of. Methodological triangulation was used, whereby both quantitative and qualitative research was conducted. A questionnaire and semi-structured individual interviews were used as the data collection methods. The results of a cross-sectional survey of 104 Internet users suggest a lack of control over personal information online, a lack of privacy rights online, a dislike of government regulation and other privacy concerns. Concern was decreased if personal information was provided for customisation or if there was the ability to opt-out. Anonymity also decreased concern. The qualitative results reveal five areas of concern for privacy, namely the role of Internet Service Providers, online businesses, Internet shopping, government regulation and general Internet privacy problems. This study attempts to add something of value to the body of knowledge regarding concern for privacy on the Internet in the context of South African environment.
