“…Furthermore, this study is significant in promoting the importance of the institution's faculty appraisal system and enhancing learning opportunities (Hashim et al, 2022). Studies reveal that when workers are satisfied with their performance appraisal, they are more likely to embrace creative work practices, which enhances productivity.…”

Higher education institutions offer the advanced training required for a wide range of professions, including educators, physicians, nurses, engineers, humanists, business owners, and social scientists. In addition, HEIs also provide the high-level skills required for every labor market. Faculty members in HEIs are the source of delivering better education. Hence, the study aims to increase faculty members' performance in HEIs. This study uses the qualitative research approach to investigate the relationship between performance appraisal and faculty members' performance in higher education institutions (HEIs). The research data is collected from the faculty members of the HEIs, and the content analysis of the interviews is utilized as the primary data analysis method. The study's findings indicate the positive effects of the performance appraisal system in universities on the performance of faculty members and universities. The research highlights the importance of implementing an effective performance appraisal system that promotes faculty members' professional growth and contributes to the institution's overall success.

PurposeThis empirical research examined the factors and conditions that contribute to the success of international strategic learning alliances. The study aimed to provide organisations with evidence-based insights and recommendations that can help them to create more effective and sustainable partnerships and to leverage collaborative learning to drive innovation and growth. The examination is performed using game theory as a mathematical framework to analyse the interaction of the decision-makers, where one alliance's decision is contingent on the decision made by others in the partnership. There are 20 possible games out of 120 outcomes that can be grouped into four different types; each type has been divided into several categories.Design/methodology/approachThe research methodology included secondary and primary data collection using empirical data, the Delphi technique for obtaining qualitative data, a research questionnaire for collecting quantitative data and computer simulation (1,000 cases, network resources and cooperative game theory). The key variables collected and measured when analysing a strategic alliance were identified, grouped and mapped into the developed model.FindingsMost respondents ranked reputation and mutual benefits in Type 1 games relatively high, averaging 4.1 and 3.85 of a possible 5. That is significantly higher than net transfer benefits, ranked at 0.61. The a priori model demonstrate that Type 1 games are the most used in cooperative games and in-game distribution, 40% of all four types of games. This is also confirmed by the random landscape model, approximately 50%. The results of the empirical data in a combination of payoff characteristics for Type 1 games show that joint and reputation benefits are critical for the success of cooperation.Practical implicationsResearch on cross-border learning alliances has several implications. Managerial implications can help managers to understand the challenges and benefits of engaging in these activities. They can use this knowledge to develop strategies to improve the effectiveness of their cross-border learning alliances. Practical implications, the development of game theory and cross-border models can be applied in effective decision-making in a variety of complex contexts. Learning alliances have important policy implications, particularly in trade, investment and innovation. Policymakers must consider the potential benefits and risks of these collaborations and develop policies that encourage and support them while mitigating potential negative impacts.Originality/valueInternational learning alliances have become a popular strategy for firms seeking to gain access to new knowledge, capabilities and markets in foreign countries. The originality of this research lies in its ability to contribute to the understanding of the dynamics and outcomes of these complex relationships in a novel and meaningful way.

Very often, add-on services offer the highest margins, e.g., retailers who offer an extended warranty, phones, and IT companies that offer apps (Mohamed Hashim et al 2022b). models relate to one or other of the categories of the meta-model.…”

This conceptual paper examines how Enneagram as a personality typing system could be adopted as a meta-model across multiple domains. The enneagram strategy is a structural typology that many organisations and individuals use to effectively understand their business profiles and interpersonal patterns, despite scholars showing concerns about its robustness and dynamism. This paper extends the argument as to how the mechanics of the Enneagram are intrinsically interrelated with (a) organisational systems and networks, (b) organisational grammar, (c) supply chains, and (d) creativity. It also emphasizes the importance/close association of the Enneagram tool with interdependence, business model, networks, statics, and system dynamics. The paper uses a combination of research methods (theoretical, exploratory, and descriptive) to evaluate the adaptability of the enneagram. The findings demonstrate that enneagram as a strategy could be applied to various business phenomena but requires more cross-domain empirical research. The enneagram can also be used to develop meta-models/toy models that can relate to the organisational outcomes by integrating tangible and intangible process assets. This paper reliably lays a set of principles/foundations to launch the enneagram approach to a complex, broad, systematic, and creative scope.
