<p>Anti-discrimination is known as equal opportunity and treatment which is the right of every citizen in each aspects of life. The principles of anti-discrimination must be included in every product of legislation, including the employment regulation for persons with disabilities in Indonesia. Anti-discrimination in employment regulation for persons with disabilities have been included in the Indonesian constitution. In addition, it has also been adopted in various articles on legislation,regulating about employment for persons with disabilities, namely Law Number 3 of 2013, Law Number  19 of 2011 and LawNumber 8 of 2016. In substance, the law that guarantees the rights of persons with disabilities in a number of laws and regulations in Indonesia is sufficient. However, the regulation in Law Number  13 of 2003 on The Labor Law is not yet clear. Adjustments need to be made on Law Number  13 of 2003, Law Number  19 of 2011, and Law Number  8 of 2016. The need for the many provisions of labor laws that have not been implemented, thus it requires affirmative action to realize equal opportunities in all aspects of life and livelihood for persons with disabilities.</p>

In this paper, we argue that there is no single test called strict scrutiny when the Court considers claims of racial discrimination. In fact, the Court changes the rules depending on why and how the government is using race. By examining racial redistricting, remedial affirmative action, and diversity-based affirmative action cases, we show how the Court uses at least three verydifferent versions of strict scrutiny. The costs of maintaining the fiction of unitary strict scrutiny is high. In the area of racial profiling, for example, courts refuse to apply strict scrutiny for fear that it will either overly hamper police or will weaken strict scrutiny in other areas of racial discrimination. An open acknowledgment that the Court is already using different standards of analysis for different types of racial discrimination would allow courts to craft appropriate standards without fear of diminishing protections in other areas.

This chapter introduces social capital as a concept useful in identifying the ingredients necessary for knowledge sharing in Healthcare. Social capital is defined and its importance as a concept for identifying the conditions necessary for knowledge exchange is discussed. Furthermore the introduction of an online database and tutorial system (Meditute) is presented as a case study to highlight the importance of social capital where information systems are used in the sharing process. The authors anticipate that the use of social capital to analyse knowledge sharing initiatives will lead to more holistic approaches. Such approaches will inform both researchers and managers as to the many factors that affect knowledge sharing.

Lempert, Chambers, and Adams's superb new study of the careers of minority and white graduates of the University of Michigan Law School will come as welcome news to those who value diversity on this nation's college and professional school campuses. Alongside the Bowen-Box study (1998), to which the authors link their work, the Michigan data provide powerful evidence of the many benefits of affirmative action for both minority and majority students, as well as for a constituency that is often overlooked in the debate over affirmative action—namely, the people these aspiring professionals are intended to serve. More important, the authors' careful analysis reveals what many have long suspected. LSAT scores and undergraduate GPAs “seem to have no relationship to success after law school, whether success is measured by earned income, career satisfaction, or service contributions” (Lempert, Chambers, and Adams 2000, 401).

The Impact

PurposeThe paper investigates how the interplay of women-specific human and social capital factors with ownership structure impacts her chances to get director level appointment in the light of recent amendments to the Indian statute.Design/methodology/approachThe strength of the study lies in fitting a logistic regression model to the unique hand collected data on women director characteristics from 100 large listed Indian firms.FindingsCounter intuitive findings reveal negative effects of social capital on appointment of independent women directors. This relationship gets reversed when social capital is moderated by ownership structure.Social implicationsCompanies may be influenced to take into cognizance the underlying gender biases prevailing in the highest echelons of management and employ un-gendered fair selection practices for board level appointments in order to progress towards gender balanced corporate boards.Originality/valueThe paper is a first of its kind that combines aspects of human capital and ownership structure using Indian data. By developing several new proxy variables to enrich the construct of social capital it contributes to the corporate governance literature and lastly, through main and interaction effects, the paper offers a deeper understanding about the impact of endogenous factors of corporate boards on women's representation at leadership levels in India.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the many changes in the present socio-cultural context point to the importance of innovation in churches. A theoretical framework for understanding innovation in churches is presented, featuring 6 key elements. These elements include the cultural context of the church and the church’s target audience, a culture of innovation within the church, innovations in church programs, processes, and personnel, social capital (social ties) which permits church members to navigate the changes associated with innovation, program loss (that which is lost when programs change), and progress toward the church’s goals. The church’s goals and the church’s context determine which innovations would be most appropriate. A culture of innovation and strong social ties permit innovations to be implemented successfully. Program losses may reflect aspects of the church’s goals that are neglected when innovations are implemented.

Operation And Management

In 2003, in Taroko National Park’s planning, the upper plateau of Bruwan was commissioned for private operation and management (OT, Operation-Transfer). It was there that Ming-Gang Cheng, partnered with Leader Hotel Group, won the management rights to “Bruwan Village Taroko Vacation House”. Due to the location, limited room numbers, and the many restrictions, most people did not find Bruwan Village Taroko promising. After ten years of management by Ming-Gang Cheng, not only was Bruwan Village Taroko, a cultural and creative hotel rich with Taroko tribal culture, attracting many foreign and domestic visitors, it was also the best known OT project in Taiwan. Ming-Gang Cheng’s background and entrepreneurial process had been introduced in this case study. Throughout the process, he had made use of various relationship resources, displayed his creativity, and fully integrated the local natural landscapes with the Taroko tribe’s aboriginal culture. Not only had he overcome the difficulties presented when first starting the business under predetermined disadvantages in environmental conditions, his innovative and unique market positioning had brought Bruwan Village Taroko to the global stage. From Ming-Gang Cheng’s background and entrepreneurship of Bruwan Village Taroko, this case intends to investigate topics including entrepreneurial personalities and entrepreneurship, the effect of social capital in entrepreneurship, and innovation under disadvantages.
