Abstract
Purpose
It is desired to provide a diversified iterative scheme for solving the constrained solutions of the generalized coupled discrete-time periodic (GCDTP) matrix equations from the perspective of optimization.
Design/methodology/approach
The paper considers generalized reflexive solutions of the GCDTP matrix equations by applying the Jacobi gradient-based iterative (JGI) algorithm, which is an extended variant of the gradient-based iterative (GI) algorithm.
Findings
Through numerical simulation, it is verified that the efficiency and accuracy of the JGI algorithm are better than some existing algorithms, such as the GI algorithm in Hajarian, the RGI algorithm in Sheng and the AGI algorithm in Xie and Ma.
Originality/value
It is the first instance in which the GCDTP matrix equations are solved applying the JGI algorithm.

Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to explore how training influences employee proactive behaviours in entrepreneurial ventures. Specifically, the study develops and tests a model in which organisational identification (OID) mediates the relationship between perceptions of training and two employee proactive behaviours: taking charge and creative behaviour.
Design/methodology/approach
Data was collected from 136 employee-supervisor dyads from 24 entrepreneurial ventures in Malaysia’s high technology industry. Smart–partial least square structural equations modelling was used to test our proposed hypothesis.
Findings
The findings suggest that entrepreneurial ventures can use training to strengthen employees’ identification with the ventures, which in turn encourages proactive behaviours.
Originality/value
This study shows how HRD practices found in larger firms can work in different ways to influence desirable behaviours among employees of entrepreneurial firms. Specifically, by demonstrating how the relationship between training and employee proactive behaviours occurs through OID in the context of entrepreneurial ventures, the authors provide a complementary explanation of how HRD practices in entrepreneurial ventures can influence employee positive behaviours.

Abstract
Purpose
The ancient town of Lijiang is a representative place of ethnic minorities in China’s southwest border area jointly built by many ethnic groups. Its rich and diversified history, culture and architecture as well as its artistic and spiritual values need to be better retained and explored.
Design/methodology/approach
The protection and inheritance of Lijiang’s cultural heritage will be improved through the construction of digital memory resources. To guide Lijiang’s digital memory construction, this study explores strategies of digital memory construction by analyzing four case studies of well-known memory projects from China and America.
Findings
From the case studies analysis, factors of digital memory construction were identified and compared. Factors led to the discussion of strategies for constructing the digital memory of Lijiang within its design, construction and service phases.
Originality/value
The ancient town of Lijiang is a famous historical and cultural city in China, and it is also a representative place of ethnic minorities in the border area jointly built by many ethnic groups. The rich culture should be preserved and digitalized to offer better use for the whole nation.
