Despite the proliferation of systematic literature review studies on cooperative organization, a similar review of cooperative governance and performance literature has yet to be conducted. To close this gap, this paper presents a systematic literature review on the relationship between cooperative governance (CG) and cooperative performance using the PRISMA approach. Major search engines were used in the compilation of studies published between 2009 and 2021. A review of the 30 selected papers indicate there are four categories of CG used in relation to cooperative performance: board characteristics, policy compliance, management, leadership and strategies, and the board’s social or human capital. The results also suggest mixed and inconclusive findings on the CG–cooperative performance relationship. The current study seeks to contribute to the existing literature by highlighting patterns and gaps of past studies on the CG–cooperative performance relationship, thereby providing insights for future research.

Managing a business-to-business (B2B) supply chain relationship is an endless challenge. Many recent systematic literature review studies have discussed supply chain relationships from various perspectives. However, a comprehensive analysis, summarising the existing research, explicitly identified the implemented B2B supply chain relationships and found the effects of these relationships on supply chain performance remain lacking. To address the gap, this article presents a systematic literature review based on the PRISMA approach regarding the nature of the supply chain relationships between B2B partners and their effect on supply chain performance. Web of Science and Scopus were used in the compilation of studies published between 2000 and 2020. Findings indicate that the majority of B2B partners use a collaborative relationship approach and that the impacts are marked on the operational, financial, innovation, environmental, social and economic performance of their supply chain. This study seeks to contribute to the existing literature on B2B supply chain relationships by conducting a thorough and unbiased review of previous studies, drawing more general conclusions about the adopted supply chain relationships between B2B partners and providing insights for future research.

End-of-life vehicle (ELV) management is becoming increasingly important as the automotive industry is one of the world’s most critical sectors and is rapidly expanding. ELV management is essential for environmental protection and wellbeing under Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3, provides more jobs under SDG 8, and promotes a circular economy under SDG 11. All these factors contribute to the importance of ELV management as a research topic. Today, ELV management is well-positioned and an emerging research area particularly on ELV recycling systems in Europe, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and China. This paper aims to provide a review of ELV management in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, which are the major automotive production bases in Southeast Asia, but which lack formal ELV recycling policies. Towards this end, the researchers have adopted a qualitative study in which document research has been used to analyze existing scientific studies and other published sources. The findings reveal that immature ELV management systems in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia are the reason that no specific ELV laws and regulations exist, as well as why there are no precise ELV statistics. Nevertheless, there have been growing concerns about ELV management, as evidenced by environmental regulations and programs aimed at better management of ELV recycling in these countries. These findings will assist the respective authorities in formulating specific laws and regulations that will ensure sustainable management of ELV and will also ensure a better life and economy for society and for industry.

The aspect of national unity has become one of the main pillars in the current Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013–2025. This is consistent with the long-term plan proposed by the Government to produce future generation with a strong and good personality. However, nowadays, there is an increasing in various cases of social symptoms which do a lot of harm to the community. Statistics showed that most of these social symptoms occur among adolescents, especially among school students. Failure in applying and forming moral values in every adolescent is one of the contributing factors to the tendency for adolescents’ moral decay. For that reason, the factors affecting nation unity practices should be taken into consideration. This chapter highlights factors determining national unity practices among school students. Conclusions are drawn that national unity can benefit from the role of family and education in empowering unity values. This chapter ends with recommendations for future research for researchers. Therefore, this chapter is expected to benefit numerous stakeholders in helping and shaping national unity in Malaysia.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming education globally, and Malaysia is leveraging this potential through strategic policies to enhance learning and prepare students for a digital future. This article explores Malaysia's AI-driven education landscape, emphasising the National Artificial Intelligence Roadmap 2021-2025 and the Digital Education Policy. Employing a policy-driven analysis, it maps AI applications in pedagogy, curriculum design, administration, and teacher training across primary to tertiary levels. The study evaluates national strategies, identifies challenges like digital divides and ethical concerns, and conducts a comparative analysis with the United Kingdom, the United States, China, and India to draw best practices in AI policy and digital transformation. Findings highlight Malaysia's progress in AI literacy and personalised learning, alongside gaps in rural infrastructure and teacher readiness. Recommendations include strengthening governance, investing in equitable infrastructure, and fostering public-private partnerships. Targeting researchers, policymakers, and educators, this study informs Malaysia's path to becoming a regional leader in AI-driven education and contributes to global comparative education discourse.
