High-impact practices (HIPs) have been shown to be effective in helping first-year students successfully transition into college. However, since most of the research on HIPs has been done in small liberal arts settings, little is known about the efficacy and implementation practices of HIPs in large, public, primarily nonresidential institutions, or business schools within these institutions. This article seeks to address this need. Our study suggests that a comparison among students involved in HIPs versus those who forgo the experiences shows significant differences in impact, particularly on degree completion. However, further analysis shows that the gains were primarily achieved among students who were not members of underrepresented minority (URM) groups. As institutions face pressure from key constituents to improve graduation rates while reducing achievement gaps, it is becoming increasingly important for administrators and faculty to assess which approaches are most likely to achieve both these aims, particularly as scaling HIPs to larger settings is expensive and fraught with difficulties. This study reports on the effectiveness of HIPs for supporting the success of both URM and non-URM students and makes recommendations for building student success programs that ensure the success of all students, especially in large, diverse higher education institutions.

"Using confidential and restricted-access microdata from the U.S. Census Bureau, we find that Asian-owned businesses are 16.9 percent less likely to close, 20.6 percent more likely to have profits of at least $10,000, and 27.2 percent more likely to hire employees than white-owned businesses in the United States. Asian firms also have mean annual sales that are roughly 60 percent higher than the mean sales of white firms. Using regression estimates and a special non-linear decomposition technique, we explore the role that class resources, such as financial capital and human capital, play in contributing to the relative success of Asian businesses. We find that Asian-owned businesses are more successful than white-owned businesses for two main reasons -- Asian owners have high levels of human capital and their businesses have substantial startup capital. Startup capital and education alone explain from 65 percent to the entire gap in business outcomes between Asians and whites. Using the detailed information on both the owner and the firm available in the CBO, we estimate the explanatory power of several additional factors"--Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit web site

Purpose: This study aims to determine the internal factors and external factors that influence the success of Micro and Small Medium Enterprises's business performance of leading products in Central Java. Respondents in this study were 181 MSMEs delivered from various regencies in Central Java Province. Methodology: Hypothesis testing conducted by performing multiple linear regression tests with SPSS 25 for windows. Main Findings: The results of the study showed that internal factors: human resources, the use of accounting information and the use of information technology had a significant positive effect on the success of business performance and external factors which are government support and the business climate also had a significant positive effect on the success of business performance. Implication: The future studies could be more specialized in the types of MSMEs such as: business food, batik or handicraft so that the research results can be compared. Further research can also add both internal or external variables such as owner knowledge, business age, business scale or competitiveness. Future studies can also use other variables as moderating or intervening variables. Novelty/Originality of this Study: To date, there are no studies that examine internal factors (the ability of human resources, the use of accounting information and the use of information technology) and external factors (government support and business climate) affecting the success of business performance in leading products of micro and small medium enterprises in central java
