“…According to Creswell [13], the appropriate sample size is determined by the level of confidence, level of precision and the type of test that will be used in data analysis. Hence, the formula by Fowler [14] for estimating the sample size and a table to determine the same were used. By using a table that specifies the required sample size that would ensure a good decision model (Table 1), the sample size was greatly reduced.…”

Abstract. Most energy efficiency (EE) measures implemented (or yet to be implemented) in Malaysia involve technological interventions, but it will rely on consumer behaviour including their awareness in energy consumption. This paper highlight the energy-saving awareness among consumers for residential houses which involves two main components: i) knowledge and ii) practice. The method for this study is using the questionnaires of 408 respondents from four zones in Peninsular Malaysia. Pearson Correlation analysis technique was used to examine the relationship of several variables with electricity saving awareness. The results of the analysis found that the both components, knowledge and practice have a significant relationship with consumer awareness. It shows that both components are very important to ensure the awareness of EE will be implemented by the consumer.

This paper explores the notion of competences to innovate taking a productive chain perspective. This notion has been applied to study innovation in a very large perspective as in the case of French industrial studies or in a sectoral perspective. The originality of this paper is to deal with the concept of competences to innovate looking not only at a singular economic segment, but examining the interrelation that exists between actors that are in the same productive chain. In this way, it tries to contribute to the understanding of innovative capacity looking at the firm's internal attributes and extending those attributes to analyze the way innovation occurs in a productive chain. This paper analyses the innovation capability of the plastic productive chain studying the plastic packaging and the petrochemical in Brazil.Keywords: Competences to innovate; production chain; petrochemical; plastic packaging industry.

“…There are many pitfalls connected to construction of a questionnaire. Fowler (1998) says that the largest bias is the formulated questions. To get a reliable and valid instrument, the questionnaires were validated through a validation process.…”

Compared to other countries Norwegian teachers participate less in professional learning activities (OECD, 2008, 20013). Simultaneously, Norwegian teachers are offered possibilities to participate in formal education for mentors where they are supposed to learn how to support other teachers in their professional development. The aim of the article is to investigate what possibilities and challenges different participants encountered when a group of educated mentors were given the possibility to create a project in their own school where they were expected to support their colleagues' professional development.
