Stop Doing Stupid: An Essential Requirement For Effective Teaching, Management And Leadership
Authors: E Smith James 
Published: October 2020

There is an old adage that reads “the suffering of fools”, which for this paper is the passive form of the “stop doing stupid” in the title. For either of these sayings the key concern when dealing with foolishness is not only the loss of resources, in time and money, that result from this indulgence and tolerance, but more importantly the direct impact that not objecting can have on morale and the long-term effectiveness of any decision-making process. Whether it is during the teaching of students, the management of people and business processes or more importantly the highly involved and visionary leadership process, the need to speak up and to try to mitigate stupid and wasteful interruptions has become an essential requirement if we are to continue to grow socially and economically. This paper has been prepared to make the case for taking the road less travelled, which has as a reward growing personal self-worth and enhanced social value. It also has the drawback of becoming identified as one of those few that just can’t sit quietly with their mouths shut when some act of foolishness is in motion.

Published: October 2020

Society has, as one of its base survival techniques, the reinforced training and education of its participants, beginning at an early age. In order to manifest value to its citizenry, it acts to foster the necessary social and economic skills to maintain the current status quo. Unfortunately, this has resulted in a reliance on complacency, leading to a more reactive, rather than proactive, culture. In order to break society of this contentment a more proactive mode of operation will require a more individualized approach in developing specialized skills, such as leadership, within its population. Leadership, a basic survival instinct in men and women, has the potential to provide individuals with the proactive capability to solve problems more effectively and to anticipate the future needs of the societies they guide. This paper addresses these issues and provides an example of a practice routine for improving the leadership capabilities of our youth.

Published: October 2020

Environmental awareness and its relation to the development of economy have garnered increased attention in recent years. This study analyzes the long-run relationship between environment degradation, economic growth, total energy consumption and industrial production index growth in Malaysia from year 1970 to 2012. The time series data are estimated using Johansen and Julies Cointegration test and VECM Granger causality test. The empirical analysis suggests a long-run cointegration relationship between all series. Granger causality analysis indicates strong evidence of uni-directional Granger causality running from economic growth and industrial production index growth to total energy consumption in the long-run. Also, the result shows evidence of a bi-directional Granger causality between total energy consumption and CO2 emission. This situation suggests that a pollution abatement policies and higher investment to control for CO2 emission will not jeopardize the economic sustainability and industry output in the long run. This study suggests that previous policies should be complimented with increasing the efficiency of energy use by employing a fuel balancing strategies and promoting the use of renewable energy resources like bio-fuel, solar energy and wind.

Authors: Fleary Kevin Michael 
Published: October 2020

The informal economy has been the topic of debate for some time now and given its significant effect on the revenue, economists and policy decision makers alike have sought greater control to their dismay. This can be contributed to the lack of informal statistics on China, fueling assumptions that have not born results. To address the problem, this paper seeks to estimate the size of China’s informal economy using the Currency Demand Model. The central theme forwarded in this research is that China is experiencing its Lewis Turning Point and the industry changes positively impact the growth of the underground economy. Given this statement, the authors present a conceptual model that depicts the growth and movement of the informal economy in relation to China’s economic changes. As a means to provide intuition for decision makers as China transition to the 13th National Development Plan.
