    FUZZY APPROACH TO MEASURE FOREIGN EXCHANGE EXPOSURE
    (Journal of Sustainability Science and Management, 2007) CHE MOHD IMRAN CHE TAIB; ABU OSMAN MD.TAP; AHMAD FAKHARUDDIN ABD RAHMAN
    Multinational firms are directly exposed to the impact of unexpected changes in foreign exchange rate. The practice of floating currency system and currency volatility characteristic always has an influence and cannot be avoided. Using fuzzy interval method, this study evaluates the foreign exchange rate exposure faced by thirty-three Malaysian firms throughout twenty-four months regression. Our result shows that Malaysian firms were effected by Ringgit Malaysia devaluation. The number of firms having negative exposure will increase with the exposed period.

    A MODIFIED ANALYTIC HIERARCHYAPPROACH IN RANKING HUMAN-CAPITAL INDICATORS
    (Journal of Sustainability Science and Management, 2012) LAZIM ABDULLAH; SUNADIA JAAFAR; CHE MOHD IMRAN CHE TAIB
    Evaluation on human-capital development and a knowledge-based economy becomes increasingly important as several approaches have been proposed. One of the popular methods in multi-criteria evaluation is the pair-wise comparison ofAnalytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). However, single evaluation in pair-wise comparison of AHP seems not very comprehensive in handling of human judgement. Therefore, this study aims to propose a modified analytical-hierarchy process by considering two-sided conflicting judgement and test the proposed approach to ranking indicators of human capital in Malaysian organisations. The theory of Conflicting Bi:fuzzy Sets (CBFS) was hybridised into AHP to form a modified version of decision-making tool that employed linguistic judgement and pair-wise comparison. The modified approach was employed to integrate the multifacets preferences offive criteria ofhuman capital in establishing the importance ofthe four identified indicators. A case study ofhuman-capital measurement is presented and the proposed model is applied to facilitate the decision-making process. Interviews with three decision-makers were administered to collect linguistic data over the comparative judgement of human-capital measures in Malaysia. The results show that succession rate oftraining programmes is the most important measurement indicator and creating result by using knowledge is the least-important measurement indicator. The overall ranking reflects the importance ofmeasurement indicators in steering Malaysia to become a worthy human-capital investment.
