(HC) and customer capital (CC) on the different types of innovations via organisational
capital (OC) in the service sector. The study gathered data from 198 managers in the
Egyptian banks (54% response rate). The research findings indicate that product, process
and organisational innovations are positively associated with OC, SC and HC have direct
and indirect positive effects on both product and organisational innovation via OC. It
seems that SC and HC do not have a direct influence on process innovation because OC
fully mediates the relationship between SC, HC and process innovation. This study explored the direct and indirect positive effects of CC on three types of innovation through
OC. Additionally, all organisational, process and product innovations are found to be intercorrelated. The most significant influence of intellectual capital (IC) is on product innovation, followed by organisational innovation, whereas the least significant influence is on
process innovation.
Design/methodology/approach – Using survey data from large consumer samples from Egypt, Data collected from 310 respondents in the context of e-tailing are tested using a partial least squares (PLS) approach.
Findings – The results indicated that the consumer perceptions of online retailing ethics composed of five constructs: security, privacy, non-deception, fulfilment/reliability, and service recovery. These e-retailing ethics strongly predict online consumer satisfaction and repurchase intention. Furthermore, we find a significant mediating effect of trust, and commitment on the relationship between the consumer perceptions of online retailing ethics
and customer satisfaction. Our results also showed that individualism had moderate effects on the relationship between consumer perceptions of online retailing ethics and customer satisfaction. Contrary to expectations, power distance had no significant effect.
Originality/value – Consumer perceptions of online retailing ethics scale (CPORE), which composes of five dimensions security, privacy, non-deception, fulfilment, and service recovery is greater completeness to evaluate consumer perceptions of e-retailers’ ethics than scales using a unidimensional approach. This study also examines both individualism and power distance at the individual level, which is rare in the existing literature.
This research aimed to examine the impact of TL on product and process innovation, and the differences between these impacts in public and private higher education institutions (HEIs) in Iraq. Questionnaires and interviews were respectively administered to 439 teaching staff and 10 leaders from private and public HEIs.
Employing multi-group structural equation modelling (SEM) with AMOS 20, the research showed that TL plays a pivotal role in enhancing product and process innovation and that the style would be ideal in an Iraqi educational context as it would promote strategies for developing innovation in both sectors. The interviews revealed that there are similarities and differences between public and private HEIs in Iraq regarding the relation between TL and both product and process innovation. Guidelines are developed for researchers as well as leaders, and evidence is provided in support of the use of TL to increase product and process innovation within higher education in developing countries, particularly Iraq. The implications of the findings and suggestions for future research are discussed.

years old, were from three British Muslim girls schools who supported this empirical study. Semi-structured interviews were used for data collection and the data were analysed using template analysis,matrix analysis, and cross case analysis. Although pupils had strong aspirations that learning technologies and computers should support their learning and attainment but there access and use to technologies was mixed.It was found through a comparative analysis of the data that all the Muslim teenage girls that entered Muslim schools felt secure and performed competently.
Furthermore, the educational success of School A was attributable to educational norms and values relative to the provision of digital resources and skilled teaching staff. The educational experiences of School B and
School C were problematic due to access to digital technologies, provision of digital contents and skilled teaching staff. Another factor of pupils’ feelings of underachievement was the marked differences between the Muslim School environment and the social context teenage girls outside the educational setting."
