The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of online (web-based) creative problem-solving (CPS) activities on student technological creativity and to examine the characteristics of student creativity in the context of online CPS. A pretest-posttest quasi-experiment was conducted with 107 fourth-grade students in Taiwan. The quantitative analysis revealed that the technological creativity of the online-CPS students was better than that of the traditional group. It was evident that students in the online-CPS groups were better at analytic than at synthetic thinking. Metaphor and analogy were used to produce new ideas most frequently. In addition to generating ideas by themselves, students arrived at solutions by refining and adapting others' thoughts with little discussion or interaction on the web. Consideration of the feasibility of production was the most important factor in the technological creativity of students.

Purpose This paper aims to examine the issues of knowledge transfer in international strategic alliance within Hero Moto Corp. Ltd., an Indian multinational company. International Strategic alliances have been increasing in numbers in the past decades and transfer of knowledge and its transfer in multinational companies is wider debate. The case explores the complex issues involved in cross-organization and cross-country transfer of knowledge. The company has forged a strategic alliance with the US-based Erik Buell Racing for accessing technology and design inputs. Design/methodology/approach It presents a structured case study that examines a wide range of knowledge transfer issues of international strategic alliance. Findings It reveals that a major influencing factor is the national culture of the parents and that of the host country which provides the context with in which alliances are operate. It is also explored the ways in which the multi-parentage of strategic alliances influences their humanresource Management (HRM) policies and practices. Originality/value It provides plenty of useful information on an issue that affects virtually every employee and organization.

Technologies, such as mobile learning and online inquiry, would be used to create virtual versus real learning effects. In order to enhance the quality of the ecological environment learning projects in school settings, we integrate Project-based learning (PBL) strategy to develop an e-learning platform, and help students exploring their outdoor learning tasks with mobile learning technology. The main idea about the design and development of e-learning platform integrated PBL strategy, how to use mobile learning technology in the PBL learning tasks, and the feedback about PBL exploration from students are discussed in this study.

Designing a website using a standard user interface without taking into consideration cultural differences may need to be relooked. A country such as Malaysia, who has a multi-racial population composition, may need more innovative web designs that could fulfill the preferences of its diverse online users. While there are many discussions on this issue, empirical investigation on the linkage between culture and web design is quite limited. Therefore, this paper attempts to fulfill this gap by proposing a study on this topic. After reviewing the related literature, we proposed a research model in which we hypothesized that culture affects individuals’ preference of interface design. Moreover, we hypothesized that cultural markers and cultural dimensions in a website interface that fit with users’ cultural dimensions will affect website usability and later their experience. Methodology and conclusion are also discussed.

Most traditional science and engineering instructions in universities are topic-based and authoritative, and students do not necessarily feel the teaching and its content to be personally important or useful. Students' science and engineering learning needs to be more personal, authentic, and meaningful to them. In reviewing potential technologies for achieving such learning benefit, several studies have found that video recording of teachers' own teaching practice as well as its viewing and sharing support self-reflection and peers critical review. As to students, although videos have become essential to many aspects of their daily life, little research has related video recording to their engineering learning. This study proposes that, as a type of multimedia, videos can be used by students to review and reflect their engineering knowledge. The video project requires students to use the multimedia technology tools to present an engineering topic as a proposed tandem learning of both multimedia and engineering courses. That is, students' learning of an engineering subject content is embedded into the video-making project in a multimedia course. The corresponding learning activities is expected to shed a new light on improving engineering education.

This study intends to specify the particular aspects of staff organization training in term of literatures. A content analysis is conducted to provide an overview of the three approaches including “the cycle of course designing”, “the training stages” and “training methods”. In addition, the new directions of instruction are discussed regarding performed courses in some organizations. It is demonstrated that the more future oriented method with education of the employees is “Management development” that attempt to instill sound reasoning processes for better performing of personnel training. We assert that these findings can assist humanresource researchers to introduce with basic concepts of staff organization training.
