dc.description.abstract | Digital lifestyle has become a culture that each and every of us has to adopt
and adapt to. The stability of Malaysia’s economy makes the quality of its
citizen’s education and standard of living improve along with the income
ranks. On the other hand, there is still a huge problem with regards to the
school dropouts that influence the quality of life and social impact in
Malaysia. These school dropouts should be exposed to self-regulating and
self-employing so that they can be independent and able to move forward
themselves away from the perils of crime. By manipulating the current
digital lifestyles, majority of the school dropouts are familiar with the
Information and Communication technology (ICT), the Internet and
mobile gadgets. This paper recommends that the Malaysian authorities
should come out with a prototype of the business model of Social
Enterprise (SE) in order to deal with school dropouts that prefer to run
business online as their income to support their lives. Some adaptation
from the successful SE in the United States of America (USA) could be
adapted in order to match with the Malaysian scenarios. The authorities
might also work out spin-off businesses through provision of seed funds,
including from interested private sectors, to these youths. | en_US |
