ROPO Effect in Gender- Generational Characteristics
Authors: Bačík Radovan , Oleárová Mária , Rigelský Martin
Published: December 2020

The development of the Internet and the current technologies have contributed to a significant progress in the consumer shopping process. Today, shopping decisions are more intuitive and much easier to make. E-shops, search engines, customer reviews and other similar tools reduce costs of searching for products or product information, thus boosting the habit of searching for information on the Internet - "Research Shopper Phenomenon" (Verhoef et al. 2007). According to Verhoef et al. (2015), this phenomenon leads to a phenomenon where consumers search for product information using one channel (Internet) and then make a purchase through another channel (brick-and-mortar shop). Heinrich and Thalmair (2013) refer to this effect as the "research online, purchase offline" or "ROPO" effect for short. This phenomenon can also be observed in reverse.

Adoption of Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP) In Indonesian Manufacturing Companies
Authors: Perdana Yandra Rahadian
Published: December 2020

Enterprise resources planning (ERP) is an automation technology with a systems approach that supports and manages business activities. ERP is the result of the development of information systems for material requirements planning (MRP) and MRP II. Information sharing activities in the supply chain become more accurate and real-time with ERP. ERP's adoption improves organisational performance in managing information, products, and financial flows (Su & Yang, 2010). Previous studies (AL-Shboul, 2018; Ilin, Ivetić, & Simić, 2017; Junior, Oliveira, & Yanaze, 2019; Mayeh, Ramayah, & Mishra, 2016; Rajan & Baral, 2015; Ram, Corkindale, & Wu, 2014) have discussed ERP's adoption, but unfortunately they could not explain the level of adoption in detail. Most researchers have only investigated ERP's adoption based on the use of ERP, regardless of the number of modules used. Conceptually, ERP has five modules, the more of the complete modules that are used, the higher the adoption level is. Consequently, the adoption rate should not be limited to one module, but it is necessary to know how many modules are adopted. Therefore, this research offers an answer to the lack of literature that discusses the level of adoption based on the number of ERP modules.

Authors: Ho Chaang-Iuan , Chu Jui-Yuan
Published: December 2020

Since the launch of Facebook (FB) in 2006, social media participation has grown rapidly during the past decade. Although FB and YouTube (YT) still occupy the most prominent positions in the social media landscape, Instagram (IG) is rapidly gaining ground, and now has a market share of 35%. It is not uncommon for users to have more than one account. New social media platforms have been developed and gained some popularity, some major concerns have been raised. Displacement–reinforcement effects, such as changes in attitude and loyalty, may appear in relation to both new and old media. In addition, age appears to influence the platform usage and preference. These matters led us to our research question: Is the Internet generation more likely than other generations to switch from FB to YT or IG?

The Influence of Knowledge Management Processes on Intellectual Capital and Innovation Performance
Authors: Wendra Wendra , M. Alhadar Fadhliah
Published: December 2020

The organisational ability to utilise its knowledge is inseparably linked to its innovation performance. Knowledge is characterized as valuable, rare, inimitable and non-substitutable (VRIN) resources. Those characteristics are key resources to achieve organisational performance (Ferreira & Hamilton, 2010; Wang, 2014; Hussinki, Ritala, Vanhala, and Kianto, 2017). Within literature, there are two streams of academics discussion relating to knowledge in organisation. Those are intellectual capital (IC) literature, and knowledge management (KM) literature (Ramadan, Dahiyat, Bontis, & Al-dalahmeh, 2017; Kianto, Ritala, Spender, & Vanhala, 2014). The first stream considers IC as static resources or materials for organisational value creation. While the later sees KM as processes to create organisational value. Even though many studies have considers the important role of IC and KM Processes (KMPs) in creating values, however there are only limited studies examine IC and KMPs interaction to support innovation performance (IP) (Hsu & Sabherwal, 2012; Cabrilo and Dahms, 2018). Most of the existing studies have contented themselves with assessing IC or KM value level, and then correlating those two to IP. There are far less studies examining to what extent KMPs are consciously implemented within organisations, and furthermore, how the implementation of KMPs impacts the quality of IC leading to the success of IP. To bridge these gaps in the existing knowledge, the current paper examines how KMPs impacts on organisational IC and IP. This study suggested that IC as static resources could be examined as a mediation of KMPs influence on IP. The idea is that KMPs have the abilities to renew IC, leading to support organisational IP. Accordingly, the rationale for this study is to develop a conceptual model of KMPs-IC-IP causal relationship, and provide empirical evidence on the model. This study is expected to contribute to a broader knowledge of the extent IC that can mediate KMPs and IP relationship.

How Does Media Influence on Environmental Disclosures of Listed Companies in Thailand?
Authors: Wichinarak Jittima , Suttipun Muttanachai
Published: December 2020

Economic development, including corporate production activities, leads to the consumption of natural resources and produces pollution, which causes environmental impacts (Warr 2004). Moreover, there have been a number of instances of serious environmental consequences resulting from global corporations' operations and these have been widely publicized in the media and have been widely exposed to society at large, which has resulted in greater social awareness and a movement to prevent future environmental impacts. The media has thus become a powerful stakeholder which corporations have to be concerned and responded. For example, corporations distribute their economic, social, and environmental information especially using their annual reports which includes how corporations manage environmental impacts in order to satisfy their stakeholders and to reduce media pressure on them. Those corporate environmental disclosures have mostly followed the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines which are a widely adopted framework for sustainability including environmental reporting (Isaksson & Steimle, 2009).

The development of the weaving industry in Indonesia is an important effort to preserve the nation's culture and improve the economic prosperity of the local community. If weaving is managed well, it will accommodate the workforce and eventually their welfare will increase. Sambas Regency is one of the regions in Indonesia which has traditional woven fabrics. The ability of human resources to always produce innovation is a key factor for a business to be able to survive in conditions of intense competition. To increase the variety of patterns and product diversification needed the ability to innovate from weaving craftsmen. Innovation capability of each individual is different, not all individuals have the talent to innovate. Innovation capability can develop because of knowledge. Knowledge sharing behavior has an important role for innovation. Sharing knowledge is a driver of increased innovation ability (Lin, 2007; Rahab, Sulistyandari, & Sudjono, 2011). Individual confidence that he can carry out their duties is very important to build the ability to innovate. Self-efficacy is believed to influence the choice of tasks, effort, perseverance, excitement, and achievement (Bandura, 2012). Previous research concluded that the effect of self-efficacy on innovation behavior was carried out by Hsiao, Tu, Chang, & Chen (2015). The problem in this research is whether knowledge sharing and self-efficacy affect the innovative behavior of weaving craftsmen?

Published: December 2020

The phenomenon of globalization is being faced by modern society and affects to all aspects of human activity. Over the past few decades, globalization has created many advantages for the development of the national economy. Some countries experience structural changes when traditional industries are replaced by service and innovation sectors, this indicates a transition to a knowledge economy where certain roles are played by creativity (Cabelková et al., 2015; Zelazny, 2017). Globalization can improve relations with other countries, especially in exports and imports. Creativity is a complete resource that is based primarily on ideas and cultural characteristics rather than on physical capital. The main source of creativity is invisible because it includes everything everyone has - knowledge, emotions, talents, and spontaneity (Skavronska, 2017).Empirical results show that the development of creative industry potential has led to increased income and employment opportunities in Brazil (Kon, 2016). It has been found that employment opportunities in the creative industry sector affect Ecuador's economy both in the medium and long term. The creative industry employment opportunities are found to be influential in the Ecuadorian economy both in the medium and long term (Quezada, et al., 2018). This research will analyze the effect of globalization and employment opportunities on the economy of the creative industry sector.

Authors: Yordudom Thanyaorn , Suttipun Muttanachai
Published: December 2020

Although corporate financial performance is important in economic perspective, companies have to focus on environment, social, and governance responsibilties. This is because if the companies aim only profit without people and planet responsibilities, they will not accept all stakeholders' demands. Therefore, financial performance is not enough for needs of stakeholder groups. In Thailand, the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) has adopted environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosures to classify listed companies as Thailand Sustainable Investment (THSI). It is showed that croporate sustainability can create long-term investment rather than short-term investment. In addition, the environment, social, and governance disclosures allow the companies to develop more efficiency business and if the companies have transparency and quality of internal management, the corporations will reduce the risk of fraud, cost of training new employees as well as increase the quality and productivity of the products per employee (Association of Thai Securities Companies, 2018) There are fews prior related studied in Thailand investigated and examined influence of environment, social, and governance disclosures on firm value. Moreover, the literatures have provided conflicting results of the influence of environmental, social, and goverment disclosures on firm value.

Perceptions of Food Retailers Regarding Climate Change and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Authors: Deliwe Ayanda Pamella , Beck Shelley Beryl , Smith Elroy Eugene
Published: December 2020

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emission and its associated effects have been a debate in literature for many years (Hoffman, 2011:5; Williams & Schaefer, 2012:175; Whitmarsh, 2011:690). According to Jackson (2016), climate change is seen as a yearly change within the earth's climate that is a result of changes in its atmosphere, as well as interactions between the atmosphere and other chemical, geologic, geographic and biological factors within the earth's system. Climate change has primarily caused a warming effect of the earth's atmosphere that has affected all aspects of life (Pachauri & Reisinger, 2007:7). While there are limited studies that measure greenhouse gas emissions arising from the entire global food chain, there have been estimates of GHG emissions attributable to global agricultural production (Garnett, 2011:23). Energy consumption is one of the biggest challenges food retailers are facing as it not only increases overhead costs but also GHG emission (Tassou, Hadawey & Marriott, 2011). Garnett (2011) alleges that the food chain produces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at all stages in its life cycle, from the farming process and its inputs, through to manufacture, distribution, refrigeration, retailing, food preparation in the home and waste disposal. Technological improvements, while essential, will not be sufficient in reducing GHG emissions. The combination of population growth and rising per capita anticipated consumption of meat and dairy products will undermine the cuts that technological and managerial innovation can achieve. Over the last few years food retailers in South Africa started to focus their attention towards GHG emissions, but there is still no framework for food retailers to reduce GHG emissions in South Africa (Tassou et al. 2007:2988). Various studies have argued that the food and drink, transportation, and construction industry sectors are regarded as the most significant contributors to GHG emissions (European Commission, 2006; SEI, WWF & CURE, 2006 and UNEP, 2008). Significant changes in food production and increases in food transport have resulted. The production of food on farms has become increasingly mechanised, large-scale, and specialised; and food supply chains have become more complicated and transport-intensive (Roelich, 2008). Food retailers are contributing to GHG emissions by means of electricity usage through refrigerator equipment, lighting, heating, air conditioning, baking and other secondary services. There is no general strategy for food retailers to reduce GHG emission and minimal research has been done in this sector (Tassou et al, 2011).

The young generation has a very important role as the nation's next generation, so it needs special attention to make them strong and independent figures. The young age phase is also a determining gate for the future after completing education (United Nation, 2013). Unfortunately, in Indonesia the number of young unemployed reaches 22.48% (Central Bureau of Statistics, 2018). Under these conditions, one of the efforts that can be done to reduce the unemployment rate is through an entrepreneurial program (Fatoki, 2014). This is a challenge for all parties because Rahmatiah et al (2019) states that currently the young generation of Indonesia is still difficult to become entrepreneurs. Moreover, competition in the 4.0 industrial revolution era is getting tougher. For entrepreneurs in rural areas, the challenges faced are greater than those who live in urban areas (Azzahra & Dhewanto, 2017), however by utilizing digital technology and becoming digital entrepreneurs, rural residents are able to compete, minimize social inequalities and accelerate economic growth (Ratten, 2018 ). Only a few young people have the talent and interest to run a business (Ceptureanu & Ceptueanu, 2015). Therefore an in-depth study of the interests and entrepreneurial processes for rural youth to become a digital entrepreneur is needed. This research was conducted in order to have young digital entrepreneurs who came from rural areas to be able to compete in this 4.0 industry era. Thus, the research questions in this study are: (1). Why does rural youth want to be a digital entrepreneur? How is the entrepreneurial process of rural youth to become digital entrepreneurs?

Women-owned SMEs is the part of Indonesian economic growth. Their contributions to development of SMEs also give significance effect. The rapid development of digital technology enabled women-owned SMEs to overcome their barriers and scale up their business. The use of digital technology is crucial factor for developing SMEs (Benitez-Amado et al., 2010). Digital technology facilitates SMEs to easier gather information, to connect with their business partner and employee, to increase efficiencies and to improve product quality (Benitez-Amado, et al., 2010; Chen and Tsou, 2007). Unfortunately, there are women-owned SMEs have not utilized the rise of digital technology. Whereas, gender of firm ownership influence technology adoption process (MacGregor and Vrazalic, 2008).In order to study the utilization of digital technology of women-owned SMEs, the technology acceptance model (TAM) in women entrepreneurs will be examined. Technology acceptance model is the theory by Fred Davis in 1986 and develop in 1996 by Venkatesh and Davis. This model predicts the acceptance of technology by user. TAM perceived the individual attitude to use the system by its conceived usefulness and its conceived ease of use (Davis, 1989). This study aims to analyse the factor influence digital technology acceptance model and proposed model of acceptance digital technology in women-owned SMEs.

Authentic leadership and employee psychological well-being: An integrated review of the literature
Authors: Agustina Hellya , Abdullah Nur Atiqah , Baron Ihil S.
Published: December 2020

As we known that one resource that supports work of employee is a good relationship among the leader and co-workers. Leaders who have styles that are able to improve employees' psychological well-being by making workplaces healthy, do not neglect supervision, are able to motivate employees, and reflect values that are important to employees (see, Hsiung 2012; Winkler et al. 2015; Huang et al. 2016; Joo, Park, & Lim 2016). There seems to be general agreement that effective leadership will encourage positive employee attitudes and behaviour (e.g., Fong & Snape 2015; Afsar, Badir & Kiani 2016; Semedo, Coelho, & Ribeiro 2016; Wu & Lee 2017; Kim & Beehr 2018; Buil , Martinez, & Matute 2019; Mostafa & Bottomley 2020). Meanwhile, most of the previous studies link that authentic leadership also has a negative influence on employees, such as: employee silence (Guenter et al. 2016); job stress (Weiss, et al. 2017); cynicism and immodesty (A Megeirhi, et al. 2018); burnout (Fair & Kamal 2019); management culture errors (Farnese et al. 2018); and turnover intentions (Gordon et al. 2019). Researchers found that only a few studied the relationship between authentic leadership and employee psychological well-being. There is only one study that examines this by using work climate as mediator variable in the type of nurse's work. Research conducted by Nelson et al. (2014) which states that authentic leadership has been recognized to influence psychological well-being through its impact on the work climate. Moving on from these issues, the interests of employees in Indonesia should be considered because the employee is required to work for eight hours a day and employees are working to make ends meet.

The Role of Risk in the Association of Company Growth Signals and Investor Response
Authors: Juniarti  , Toly Agus Arianto
Published: December 2020

This study aims to examine the role of risk factors in the relationship between investor responses and company growth signals through capital expenditure measures.Research respondents are segmented, only companies with the best stock performance in each sector in 2017. The observation period is 2017 to 2019. In this research, the companies selected are the top 10 companies in each sector with the best stock performance in companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The main variables are a growth signal which is proxied by growth in capital spending and capital expenditure, risk and investor response, which is proxied by CAR. Financial performance as measured by ROA is a control variable in this study. The results show that the signal of growth as measured by capital expenditures responded positively by the market, the risk moderates this influence, companies with high risk will be responded negatively by investors and vice versa. This finding corrects previous findings that only looked at the signal aspect of growth, without linking it to risk. In addition, these findings reinforce the argument that investors buy the future of the company, not a momentary financial performance. This can be seen from the absence of ROA influence on investor response. This study provides an insight that companies need to manage risk appropriately, because the risk aspect of the company is a crucial factor for investors. High risks will eliminate the benefits of strategic decisions in this case in the form of capital expenditures.

An Econometric Analysis on the Relationship between Globalisation and Inequality in South Africa
Authors: de Jongh Jacques
Published: December 2020

Globalisation has had an unprecedented impact on the development and well-being of societies across the globe. Whilst the process has been lauded for bringing about greater trade specialisation and factor mobility many have also come to raise concerns on its impact in the distribution of resources. For South Africa in particular this has been somewhat of a contentious issue given the country's controversial past and idiosyncratic socio-economic structure. Since 1994 though, considerable progress towards its global integration has been made, however this has largely coincided with the establishment of, arguably, the highest levels of income inequality the world has ever seen. This all has raised several questions as to whether a more financially open and technologically integrated economy has induced greater within-country inequality (WCI). This study therefore has the objective to analyse the impact of the various dimensions of globalisation (economic, social and political) on inequality in South Africa. Secondary annual time series from 1990 to 2018 were used sourced from the World Bank Development indicators database, KOF Swiss Economic Institute and the World Inequality database. By using different measures of inequality (Palma ratios and distribution figures), the study employed two ARDL models to test the long-run relationships with the purpose to ensure the robustness of the results. Likewise, two error correction models (ECM) were used to analyse the short-run dynamics between the variables. As a means of identifying the casual effects between the variables, a Toda-Yamamoto granger causality analysis was utilised.

The nexus between government revenue and macroeconomic objectives in a developing country: A case of South Africa
Authors: Mothibi Lerato , Mncayi Precious
Published: December 2020

The state of the economy, public confidence, fiscal policy choices as well as administrative efficiency all play an important role in revenue outcomes. Over the last decade, the South African economy has endured prevailing challenges of a weak economic growth, growing public sector wage bill that has exacerbated spending, widening budget deficit, and excessively growing public debt levels among others. Amidst these challenges, the country's revenue collection has continued to perform below expectations, fuelling increased vulnerability. The significance of acquiring and generating more revenue has become evident, especially during the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic and worsening socio-economic indicators which are all but painting gloomy economic prospects. Having an understanding of the nexus between the revenue and macroeconomic objectives of the government is crucial for the formulation of sustainable fiscal policy as well as the realisation of long-term growth and development. The primary objective of this study is therefore to analyse the relationship between government revenue and macroeconomic objectives in the South Africa. The study followed a quantitative research approach using quarterly time series data from 1995Q1 to 2020Q2. The analysis entailed descriptive and econometric analysis. Specifically, an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model was employed to determine the long and short run effects of government revenue and macroeconomic objectives in South Africa. The choice of this estimation model was driven by the consistency in the results it produces while at the same time, allowing the use of data regardless of its stationarity (I(0), I(1) or a combination). In addition, the Toda Yamamoto Non-Granger causality test was employed to determine causality between the selected variables.

Environmental Issues and Social Responsibility: A Scientomeric Analysis Using Citespace
Authors: Zeng Zixuan , Hengsadeekul Thammannoon
Published: December 2020

Environmental issues and social responsibility have a significant impact on the natural ecological system and economic development. Hence, it is important to find a relative balance path between them. Previous studies have sought to explore environmental or social responsibility rather than seek solutions from a systematic perspective, and there seems to be a lack of a systematic, quantitative review of systematic solutions or details. To identify the multiple impacts and relationships between environmental issues and social responsibility and illustrate emerging trends and challenges, this article proposes a scientometrics review based on 1,336 articles published from 2001 to 2020, through co-occurrence analysis and co-citation analysis together with cluster and burstiness analysis to reveal the depth and breadth of emerging research. This research demonstrates the research paradigm of environmental issues and social responsibility extends from a single stakeholder level to a systematic strategic perspective of multiple organizations and stakeholders. The results provide researchers and practitioners with a deeper understanding of future directions and implications
