    Anjum Razzaque, In Lee, and George Mangalaraj
    Emerald
    Purpose This study aims to empirically assess entrepreneurial leadership skills’ role in Corporate Sustainable Development (CSD) and firm performance (FP). This study considers five specific entrepreneurial traits: innovativeness, creativity, analytical thinking, emotional intelligence and passion and motivation. The motivation for this investigation stems from concerns over micro-firms vulnerabilities and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) lacking proper leadership skills. This study is guided by the resource-based view theory and conducted during the pandemic, offering insights into firms operating under constrained conditions. Design/methodology/approach Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM), were used on survey responses from 321 Bahraini firms. This study’s data collection occurred under environmental uncertainties due to the pandemic and provides a unique context for understanding CSD and entrepreneurial leadership skills under high business/environmental uncertainty. Findings The findings reveal that entrepreneurial leadership skills positively impact CSD and firm performance through creativity, passion and motivation. However, innovativeness negatively affects CSD and FP. Furthermore, CSD positively influences firm performance. Research limitations/implications Theoretical and practical implications, plus limitations, are also discussed in this study. Practical implications Understanding entrepreneurial leadership skills effect on CSD and firm performance in SMEs is important as SEMs are prone to fail in the early years. This study’s findings and its implications help guide SME leaders in furthering their entrepreneurial leadership skills to foster CSD and firm performance. Originality/value This study contributes to comprehending the crucial role of entrepreneurial skills, during uncertain times of the pandemic, for SMEs’ survival. It provides valuable insights for firms operating in competitive environments, offering a unique perspective on the required entrepreneurial skills and their effect on CSD and firm performance.

  • Artificial intelligence based multinational corporate model for EHR interoperability on an e-health platform
    Anjum Razzaque and Allam Hamdan
    Springer International Publishing
    This study explores the improvement of efficiency in e-Health by standardizing access to electronic health records (EHRs). Without overlaid organizations, EHR will remain an uneven and fragmented network of lagging systems unable to achieve accuracy and consistency, thus efficiencies. A multinational corporation (MNC) model is proposed to reduce healthcare costs, and implement a coherent system where data, technology and training are uniformly upgraded to alleviate interoperability issues. The conclusion revealed from our review of literature suggests that EHR interoperability issues may be mitigated by creating common architectures that enable fragmented systems to interoperate under supra organizations. As a result, an Artificial Intelligence based model is proposed to facilitate the improvement of the efficacy of e-Health to standardize HER.

    Springer Singapore
    This study sheds light on how the knowledge management (KM) revolution contributed in evolving the governmental performance in Bahrain since few decades. The study was essential to contribute to the limited literature and establish possible contributions that KM has made in the government sector in Bahrain. Hence, a quantitative research followed an adopted survey; piloted through a non-structured in-depth interview, for testing the credibility of this study’s adopted framework. The collected data was analyzed and revealed that KM in Bahrain was at 50%, though such initiatives significantly affect innovation. In terms of responsiveness, this study found out that those who recorded less information retrieval time had also recorded a high maturity level, and that KM was found to be significant in supporting Bahrain vision 2030. In this vein, the study revealed a strong correlation between competitiveness and KM, since KM enhances management of human capital, vital for Bahrain’s economy. Precisely, the study confirmed that a knowledge creation and management lead to economic transformation from the traditional to a knowledge-based sector. Study recommendations aim for the government to plan for the upcoming organizations amidst stiff competition.

    Meaad Turki, Allam Hamdan, Jasim Al Ajmi, and Anjum Razzaque
    Springer Singapore
    This study aims to illustrate the impact of adopting RegTech innovations in banks on their money laundering prevention programs. The banking industry changed massively after the financial crisis of 2008. New regulations and enforcements are being imposed on banks causing the compliance cost to increase dramatically. RegTech has been invented by technology firms acting as a potential solution to banks. The study will demonstrate the ability of RegTech to reduce the compliance cost, strengthen money laundering prevention and reduce the reputational risk in banking sectors. This study target sample was banks’ employees in Bahrain because of their proper knowledge about anti-money laundering. Data were collected from 100 respondents from the banking sector of Bahrain. Descriptive analysis was used to analyze the data while regression model and Spearman’s correlation were used to test the hypothesis. The results of this analysis indicate that RegTech has positive impact on strengthening and enhancing money laundering prevention in banks. The findings of the study will help banks understand the effectiveness of RegTech solutions, raise bankers’ awareness about the new technologies and provide insight for regulators about RegTech capabilities in preventing money laundering.

    Financial technology is encouraging various new practices, such as diminishing of the use of cash in different countries, increasing the rate of use of mobile payments, introducing new algorithms for high-frequency trading across national boundaries, etc., hence attracting significant attention. However, the continues use of fintech is still doubted by scholars. As a result, this chapter aims to comprehend whether, and why, higher education students, who are future entrepreneurs, would be willing, or hesitate to utilize fintech. Data was collected from 350 higher education students from universities in Bahrain. Only those students who had prior experience with cashless online payment systems were the selected target population for this study's online survey. The findings confirmed that risk negatively effects the intent for the continence of using fintech, and convenience baring the strongest positive effect. This study contributes to theoretical and practical implications for future and budding entrepreneurs graduating from the higher education sector of Bahrain.
