Knowledge Management Systems for Small Family-Owned Businesses—The Case of the English-speaking Caribbean

Issue: 

Small family-owned businesses (FOBs) represent an important sector of
the economy in the English-speaking Caribbean (ESC). But the
generational transition and longevity of these businesses is threatened by
the depletion of key areas of knowledge, due in part to inadequate
knowledge management; and compounded by the unstructured and
informal nature of these businesses.
Drawing on data from Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago,
and using a Design Science approach, this article proposes a knowledge

A Sectoral Analysis of E-Money Consumption and Growth

Issue: 

This article investigates the relationship between e-money, consumption
and sectoral growth in Jamaica using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag

restricted in this article to card payments. Both the size of card payments
and the payment penetration were evaluated. Card payments were
disaggregated into internet, point of sale (POS) and automated bank

Social Entrepreneurship Practices for Accountability of NPOS In Small Island Economies: Trinidad & Tobago

Issue: 

Non-profit organisations (NPOs) are mistrusted, due to a percep-tion that
they are ineffective, poorly managed, and dependent on financial support.
This has led to demands for more accountability and for more business-like
behaviour.
While International NPOs have embraced key social entrepreneurship
(SE) practices, there is little empirical evidence that these
practices ensure accountability. This article addresses that information gap
from a conceptual and contextual perspective, demonstrating that

Country Conditions and FDI Inflows to Small Island Developing States (SIDS)

Issue: 

Macro-economic conditions in host countries influence the direction of
foreign direct investments flows. This article, using a 12-year panel data
(2000-2011) for 35 SIDS, modelled the relationship between country
conditions in the host country and the flow of FDIs to SIDS, an understudied
location in the FDI literature. Using the eclectic paradigm as the
main theoretical lens, the study modelled the critical variables that are
defined as country conditions, to measure their impact on FDI flows to
