“…During data analysis, according to Donaires et al (2023), when using an inductive, open, and simultaneous process, the metacategories of this study were generated, directly linked to the main phenomenon investigated, namely: ( Figure 1 shows the general design of the research, with the metacategories and categories identified and defined in Table 2, by a set of analysis units, aligned to the thematic axis of their corresponding category. These units of analysis, in turn, were captured through excerpts from the transcripts of the interviews that were coded and, with each unit of analysis having a frequency count, showing how many respondents expressed themselves about the same idea, perception and meaning of the investigated phenomenon in this study.…”

“…Of a total of 28 respondents, nine reported being undergraduate professors and studying a stricto sensu postgraduate course (master's or doctorate), six reported being graduate programs professors and studying a stricto sensu postgraduate course (doctorate), seven reported being only stricto sensu graduate programs professors (master's or doctorate) and six only stricto sensu graduate students (master's).3.2 Data analysisFlores Categorical analysis technique (seeDonaires et al, 2023) was used, with qualitative data being reduced, categorized and coded in order to capture the relevant meanings in an analytical-investigative process, following the steps below: (i) reading of textual data from transcripts to capture information; (ii) segmentation of textual excerpts into groups with similarities by categorization and data coding; (iii) organization and presentation of data in a diagram and explanatory matrix; and (iv) extraction of meanings by abstractions and contextualized comparisons.…”

Purpose: the main objective of this study is to analyze the meanings and perceptions of graduate program students (master's and doctoral students) in Business Administration, as well as professors of graduate programs (PPGs) from different institutions, in relation to possible practices of dishonest behavior and plagiarism in the academic context. It highlights the causes, consequences and meanings of possible practices of dishonest behavior and plagiarism in the academic context, using the theoretical framework of possible reasons for plagiarism and dishonest behavior in this context. Design/methodology/approach: the perceptions of 28 professors and students were analyzed, extracted from semi-structured interviews and questionnaires, and later analyzed using Flores' categorical analysis, where the qualitative data were reduced, categorized, and coded, capturing the relevant meanings. Findings: the study highlights the phenomenon of academic dishonesty through reports from professors and students, listing four metacategories: meaning and perception of the phenomenon, causes, consequences and forms of combat, which in turn generated seven other categories. Practical implications: possible causes and implications of plagiarism are discussed, as well as ways to combat or mitigate the impact of these acts in Business Administration teaching programs, fostering the debate about these deleterious practices in the academic context. Originality/value: the paper highlights evidence of dishonest behavior in the academy, which is sometimes overlooked by several stricto sensu management postgraduate programs.

The need for digital innovation in the educational paradigm is increasingly clear after the Covid-19 phenomenon. This has also been strengthened by government policies in responding to this need, by launching “kurikulum merdeka” that demands the use of “merdeka mengajar” platform with all its characteristics. The concept of digital learning with a variety of devices is offered. SMP Islam Al Azhar 21 Solo Baru has implemented a program that is quite progressive in an effort to find an education digitalization system. It is in the form of digital class services, which can be used as an option for students and parents to carry out all digital-based and e-learning activities. Furthermore, the digital system used is relatively new and not many are used in Indonesia. The use of iPad 1:1 (every 1 student uses 1 iPad) as the main device with various Apple for education applications integrated in it. Regarding to this implementation, there is an interest from the researcher for further research related to its implementation. This type of research is descriptive qualitative which reports on how the school’s role in implementing iPad and its functions and contributions to classroom learning. The description regarding this matter was developed based on the results of semi-structured interviews and non-participant observations to see how this implementation could be carried out. Student group interviews were also used to support the findings. The result is an overview of the iPad-based digital classroom implementation starting from the initial ideas, the stages and steps of implementation, the perceptions of students and teachers, and the evaluation of those implementation. On the other hand, the main challenge lies in the relatively high budget requirements, and parents' doubts about the bad consequences of excessive iPad use, both in terms of health and social behavior

“…However, data or big data is vast (diverse, large, and takes up a lot of space) and it is getting harder and harder to analyze it for quick and precise decisions the more data gathered. It is known that businesses nowadays understand the value of data, but they are not fully taking advantage of it [14]. A solution to this is by using Smart Data, which means applying analysis in real-time to the collected old data.…”

This paper highlights the primary business issues faced by CeilBrakes Furniture Retail Company, namely inconsistent sales across different continents. While Europe demonstrates strong sales, North America, Australia, Asia, and Africa exhibit varying levels of mediocre and low sales in terms of the quantity of products ordered. Additionally, determining appropriate discount percentages for each continent poses a challenge. To address the issue of inconsistent sales, the company aims to enhance advertising efforts, improve customer relationships, and analyze trends in continents with low sales (excluding Europe). For determining continent-specific discounts, a solution involves identifying continents with low sales and offering higher discounts accordingly. In the case of Australia, which experiences low sales, CeilBrakes should provide more significant discounts. Despite Asia and Africa already having high discounts, their sales remain low. This situation calls for considering factors beyond retail price reductions, such as cultural influences. To facilitate easier viewing and analysis, a dashboard has been developed to visualize the aforementioned issues. The dashboard enables the identification of trends and patterns, empowering the company to make informed decisions in addressing the observed problems.
