This study examines the direct impact of learning organization practices on non-financial firm performance, and the individual mediating roles of knowledge creation and innovation in the learning organization–firm performance relationship. In addition, the study analyzes the indirect impact of learning organization practices on non-financial firm performance through the sequential mediation effect of both knowledge creation and innovation in the context of Pakistan’s telecommunication sector. The research model consists of nine testable hypotheses, and is based on the premises established in the four well-established management theories, namely resourcebased view theory, knowledge-based view theory, dynamic capabilities theory, and input-processoutput model. To collect data, 600 questionnaires that consisted of four self-constructed scales were randomly distributed to lower and middle managers of the five Pakistani telecommunication companies. The data generated from the 410 useable questionnaires was used to test the nine hypotheses through Structural Equation Modelling approach. The results derived from data analysis suggest that individually, both knowledge creation and innovation partially mediate the direct effect of learning organization practices on non-financial firm performance. Moreover, findings illustrate that knowledge creation and innovation sequentially mediate the learning organization–firm performance relationship. The study recommends that managers should adopt learning-supportive leadership styles, foster a learning-conducive culture, conduct appropriate training programs, decentralize and informalize organizational systems, and establish sound technological systems if they want to their company to survive, compete, lead, grow and evolve in today’s increasingly volatile, turbulent and hypercompetitive business environment.

مولانامحمد علی جوہرؔ

مولانا محمد علی
ماتم یہ زمانہ میں بپا ’’تیرے‘‘ لیے ہے
مولانا محمد علی نے ۱۴؍ شعبان ۱۳۴۹؁ھ مطابق ۴؍ جنوری ۱۹۳۱؁ء کو تریپن ۵۳ برس کی عمر میں لندن میں وفات پائی، اس مسافر نے غالبؔ کے اس مصرع کو اپنے شعر میں دہرا کر اپنی مسافرانہ موت کی آپ پیش گوئی کی تھی۔
مارا دیارِ غیر میں مجھ کو وطن سے دور
افسوس وہ پر درد آواز جو ۱۹۱۱؁ء سے ۱۹۳۰؁ء تک ہندوستان اور دنیائے اسلام کے ہر قیامت آفرین سانحہ میں صدائے صور بن کر بلند ہوتی رہی، ہمیشہ کے لیے خاموش ہوگئی، وہ بیقرار دل جو اسلام اور مسلمانوں کی ہر مصیبت کے وقت بیتاب ہوجاتا تھا، اور اوروں کو بیتاب کرتا تھا، دریغا کہ قیامت تک کے لیے ساکن ہوگیا، وہ اشک آلود آنکھیں جو دین و ملت کے ہر ماتم میں آنسوؤں کا دریا بن جاتی تھیں، حسرتاکہ ان کی روانی ہمیشہ کے لیے بند ہوگئی، وہ مترنم لب جوہر بزم میں خوشنوا بلبل بن کر چہکتے تھے، ان کے ترانے اب ہمارے کان نہ سنیں گے، وہ آتشیں زبان جو ہر رزم میں تیغ برّاں بن کر چمکتی تھی اس کی تابش اب کسی معرکہ میں ہماری آنکھوں کو نظر نہ آئے گی، وہ پرجوش سینہ جو ہمارے مصائب کے پہاڑوں کو سیلاب بن کر بہالے جاتا تھا، اس کا تلاطم ہمیشہ کے لیے تھم گیا، وہ پرزوردست و بازو جو شب و روز کی خدمت گذاری اور نبرد آزمائی میں مصروف تھے، وہ اب ایسے تھکے کہ پھر نہ اٹھیں گے، اور افسوس کہ شکست خوردہ فوج کا وہ آخری سپاہی جو اعدا کے نرغہ میں تنہا لڑرہا تھا، آخر زخموں سے چور ہوکر ایسا گرا کہ پھر کھڑا نہ ہوگا، الوداع! محمدعلی! الوداع! والسلامَ الیٰ یوم القیام۔
تو ملت کا عزادار تھا، حق ہے کہ ساری ملت تیری...

Development and Validation of Extended Multi-Dimensional Scale of Entrepreneurial Ecosystem in the Context of Pakistan

The purpose of this research is to validate the multi-dimensional scale of EntrepreneurialcEcosystem in the context of Pakistan. This research is based on 7 constructs with 54 items that affect the entrepreneurial ecosystem in any given region. The sample of 244 respondents are the owners of companies and, startups who participated in this research. The Confirmatory factory analysis showed factor loadings of all constructs greater than 0.40, while partial least square structural equation modeling showed acceptable values of construct reliability, composite reliability, however, average variance extracted was shown to be greater than 0.40 and less than the acceptable value of 0.5 for some constructs, while the HTMT ratio established discriminant validity of the constructs another criterion i.e. Fornell-Larcker criterion also established the discriminant validity of the constructs with some constructs having values less than 0.705, while some of the item outer loadings were found to be between 0.6-0.70 however, within the acceptable range. This research has validated the multi-dimensional scale of the entrepreneurial ecosystem with new sub-domain i.e. Support professions and support finance. This scale can be used to measure the strength of the entrepreneurial ecosystem of any region with appropriate homogeneous sample

International Trade, Human Capital, and Economic Growth: A Cross Country Analysis

This study is designed to test the hypothesis “international trade contributes to economic growth through its effects on human capital accumulation and technological diffusion.” To assess the hypothesis empirically we employed the Neo-Classical growth model. The model also reflects some features of the endogenous growth models. We thus ended up with a model in which the change in human capital is sensitive to change in trade policies. Unlike conventional approaches, the model serves to assess and determine the accumulation effects of international trade on human capital and imported capital. The extent to which a country can benefit from international trade is also believed to be sensitive to the country’s capacity to absorb international knowledge and technology in its production process. To evaluate the role of the absorption capacity, domestic R&D capital stock has been incorporated into the model. The empirical analysis estimates growth equations by using a panel data approach for a set of 23 developing countries, over the period 1970-2008. The countries considered for the study have been split into four groups. The trade variables exhibit relatively stronger growth elasticities in more open economies (East Asia, and Latin America) compared to less open economies (South Asia, and Africa). However, the overall evidence substantiates the fact that international trade enhances the accumulation of human capital and contributes to economic growth positively through technology diffusion. No convincing evidence, however, has been found in favor of the income convergence in any group of countries.
