Authors: Ngat Tran Thi , Tuyet Le Thi Kim
Published: June 2023

Purpose: This study aims to determine the factors affecting the entrepreneurial intention of young people in Vietnam, thereby assessing the level of these influencing factors to propose solutions and entrepreneurship orientations effectively in the future.
 
Theoretical framework:  After synthesizing previous studies, the study has found some studies that mention the impact on the entrepreneurial intention of students and young people while finding a research gap that has not been studied on this issue among elderly people. Therefore, the authors proposed a research model with factors as follows: Family support, government policy, self-confidence, and capital, which affect entrepreneurial intention.
 
Design/methodology/approach: This study uses SPSS software to test the hypothesis by linear regression method and to test the research hypothesis with survey samples conducted in 5 months 1310 votes were collected, including 972 valid votes. The age of survey participants is between 45 and 65 years old..
 
Findings:  The results show that the capital factor does not affect the entrepreneurial intention while the entrepreneurial experience factor has the strongest impact on the start-up intention. Next, it is support from the government and support from family. Finally, it is self-confidence. That proves that capital is not an essential issue for elderly people because they have already accumulated capital before. Whereas, the experience factor refers to a long process of working. The longer they work, the more experienced they get, thereby increasing their ability to be confident and successful in doing business in their old age.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications:  The proposal of this study will be an important reference for start-ups and related government agencies. It aims to promote breakthrough business ideas and exploit the essence of experienced people who have retired. This object needs special attention to develop the country's economy sustainably.

The research results are to find out the difference with the previous topics. Also, it is proposed to be an important reference for agencies and organizations related to start-up activities in Vietnam.

Authors: Mohan Neethu , K.A. Zakkariya , Bobby Rexy Ros
Published: June 2023

Purpose: The present research intended to find whether the technology readiness motivators, Optimism, and innovativeness, impact the user's intention to accept Online Behavioural Advertising (OBA), an area that requires additional research.
 
Theoretical framework: Even though these personalized advertisements provide an enhanced user experience, they provide users with advertisements based on their online surfing behavior, and unfortunately, at the same time, it also creates privacy concerns. At the same time, Privacy Calculus Theory (PCT) is considered an appropriate theory when it comes to a rational benefits-costs assessment of the privacy-centred decision-making by internet users.
 
Design/Methodology: Based on an extensive literature review, a conceptual model is being proposed, and a scenario-based questionnaire was developed and pursued on internet users' experience of the subject matter. Six hundred ten valid responses were received, and PLS-SEM was used to analyze the results.
 
Findings: The results show that Optimism and innovativeness have a direct and indirect effect on the intention to accept Online Behavioural Advertising (OBA). Technology readiness Motivators have a detrimental impact on the intention to accept OBA.
 
Research, Practical and Social implications: Based on our findings, we may be able to gain a deeper understanding of the theory behind targeted, data-driven digital advertising and the way in which it pertains to online shopping. Presented here is evidence to support the theory that the predisposition of users toward new technology could be the reason for users ranking perceived benefits higher than risk.

Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework is based on agency theory and financial management. It focuses on the relationship between financial structure, profitability, dividend policy, and stock prices. Financial structure is measured by the debt-to-equity ratio, profitability by return on assets, and dividend policy by the dividend payout ratio. The framework highlights the fundamental factors that affect a company's financial performance, which in turn influence its stock price.
 
Design/methodology/approach:  The data utilized for this research is quantitative in nature, consisting of financial ratios and approached descriptively. Descriptive statistics and panel data regression analysis were employed for data analysis with the aid of the Eviews 12 Student version application.
 
Findings: The Results of the research indicate that capital structure, profitability, and dividend policy have a simultaneous impact on the closing price of stocks. Partially, the debt-to-equity ratio, which proxies for capital structure, has a significant and negative effect on the stock price. However, return on assets, which proxies for profitability, does not seem to have any influence on the stock price. Moreover, the dividend payout ratio, which proxies for dividend policy, also does not seem to have an impact on the stock price.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications:  The findings can be used as a basis for further research on the impact of other financial factors on stock price.  Investors can use the results to make investment decisions, such as adjusting their portfolio based on the capital structure and dividend policies of the company.  The study contributes to the development of the Indonesian stock market by providing insights for investors, analysts, and companies on the factors that affect the stock price
 
Originality/value: The emphasis on the importance of considering not only financial ratios but also external factors when making investment decisions. It highlights the need for companies to maintain good financial performance and keep their DER ratio under control to maintain investor confidence and ensure financial stability.

Theoretical framework:  Good corporate governance (GCG) is a practice that generally affects company value. GCG increases business success and corporate accountability to create good corporate value. Companies implementing GCG long-term can guarantee sustainability, increase profits significantly, and optimize corporate value for shareholders and other stakeholders. If a company has excellent and accurate governance, it can increase the value of the company.

Findings: The research results conclude that banking companies will survive more if Corporate Social Responsibility increases. Modified Value Added Intellectual Capital is a finding that does not affect firm value, unlike previous studies. Good Corporate Governance does not moderate the influence between Corporate Social Responsibility and company value is also a finding because it differs from several previous studies.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications: This study provides new knowledge about the reality of the power of GCG in moderating MVAIC with CSR after the Covid 19 pandemic, so that future researchers can continue with this formulation model. this research also contributes to enriching the library as a whole
 
Originality/value: This new study uses Modified Value Added Intellectual Capital on company value after the Covid-19 pandemic, using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA).
