Authors: Galyaev A. A. , Babikov V. G. , Lysenko P. V. , Berlin L. M.
Published: November 2024

This article is devoted to the improvement of signal recognition methods based on the information characteristics of the spectrum. A discrete function of the normalized ordered spectrum is established for a single window function included in the DFT. Lemmas on estimates of entropy, imbalance and statistical complexity in processing a time series of independent Gaussian quantities are proved. New concepts of one-dimensional and two-dimensional spectral complexities are proposed. The theoretical results obtained were verified by numerical experiments, which confirmed the effectiveness of the new information characteristic when detecting a signal mixed with white noise at low signal-to-noise ratios.

The article examines the influence of the external environment on change strategies. The factors causing the need for changes in modern organizations are characterized, in particular technological, economic and socio-cultural transformations. Differences between external and internal causes of changes are highlighted. External factors include factors that arise in the external environment, including changes in the market, technologies, legislation, and others. Internal causes are related to the implementation of the strategy, the culture of the organization and the actions of its personnel. Change is defined as a transformation process that can be a reaction to external or internal influences, carried out at different levels and in different spheres: economic, social, technological.
Particular attention is paid to the concept of strategic changes, which are systematic and planned in nature, involve deep transformations, and may include the reorganization of business processes, a change in the development strategy, the introduction of new technologies or cultural changes aimed at achieving specific (strategic) goals of the organization.
Types of strategic change are described: adaptation to small changes, reconstruction as rapid transformations, evolution as gradual development, and revolution, which involves radical changes to achieve new goals. It is emphasized that organizations that are able to adapt to economic, technological, socio-cultural and other changes have significantly greater chances of success and competitiveness in the market.
The article discusses strategies for implementing changes that include a prescriptive approach that provides quick responses to crisis situations; a negotiated approach to reducing resistance; normative strategy for increasing the responsibility of personnel; an analytical approach focused on making informed decisions based on data, and an action-oriented strategy that allows for incremental experimentation. The strategic continuum (according to J. Kotter and L. Shlesinger) is considered as a means of choosing a change strategy.

Peneliti akan mengukur keterlibatan dengan pemahaman terhadap EMA dan praktik EMA di UMKM di daerah tertinggal. Penelitian menggunakan metode kuantitatif deskriptif. Data dikumpulkan dengan penyebaran kuesioner pada 62 UMKM yang ada di Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur dan studi dokumen terkait topik. Pemilihan UMKM karena peningkatan UMKM turut menyumbang peningkatan masalah lingkungan. Secara khsusus UMKM di daerah tertinggal juga dekat dengan masalah kekurangan modal, serta membutuhkan investor yang untuk penambahan modal. Salah satu upaya menarik investor di era modern ini adalah tanggungjawab pada lingkungan. Analisis data dilakukan dengan proses reduksi data, analisis dan penyajian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 51,6% pelaku UMKM tidak memahami tentang EMA, tidak memahami unsur fisik dan moneter dalam operasional UMKM. Ketidakpahaman ini karena tidak pernah ada sosialisasi yang tentang green accounting hingga EMA kepada para pelaku UMKM. Pemahaman pelaku UMKM pada tanggungjawab social justru merujuk pada penanaman pohon bukan pada alokasi biaya lingkungan berdasarkan EMA yang diukur dengan moneter maupun fisik. UMKM masih mengutamakan profit. Terkait praktik, pelaku UMKM di daerah tertinggal 66,1% persen belum menerapkan EMA, yang dibuktikan dari tidak memiliki Sertifikat Environmental Management System  dan 61,3 % tidak mengalokasikan biaya lingkungan dari usahanya. Mayoritas tidak memberikan biaya lingkungan sebagai persentase dari total biaya operasional perusahaan yang dapat dibagi menjadi beberapa kategori seperti biaya pencegahan, deteksi lingkungan, biaya kegagalan internal, dan biaya kegagalan eksternal.

Published: November 2024

This study aims to investigate the intricate dynamics of servant leadership and its impact on intrinsic motivation within the medical field, with a particular focus on the roles of trust as a moderator and team efficacy as a mediator. A sample of 200 hospital employees was surveyed using self-administered questionnaires. Data were analyzed using SmartPLS software to test the hypothesized relationships. The findings reveal that servant leadership significantly enhances intrinsic motivation, with trust amplifying this effect as a moderator, and team efficacy serving as a crucial mediator. Specifically, trust strengthens the relationship between servant leadership and team efficacy, which in turn, boosts intrinsic motivation. These results provide valuable insights into how servant leadership can be leveraged in healthcare settings to foster a motivated and effective workforce. The study addresses a critical gap in leadership literature by highlighting the dual roles of trust and team efficacy in the servant leadership process. The implications of this research suggest that healthcare organizations should focus on cultivating servant leadership qualities among their leaders, as well as fostering a trust-rich environment and promoting team efficacy to enhance employee motivation and overall performance.

Authors: M Khalufi Nasser Ali
Published: November 2024

Since they have been incorporated into retail, robots have been discussed more frequently in academic publications and public debate. Customers in retail sector, as well as workers will be resistant to the rising employment of robots as their capabilities increase and they are employed to supplement or replace human labour. "Interdisciplinary" denotes a technique that amalgamates knowledge and methodologies from several academic or professional domains to attain a thorough comprehension of a particular subject or matter. As robots and AI become more common in society, this study examines the public's attitudes towards their use in retail. Consumer perceptions of retail robots are examined using consumer psychology and technology attitudes literature. To fill the research gap, 393 retailers' responses on service robot deployment in retail contexts are analyzed, with an emphasis on the East region. Service robot attitudes vary based on aspects such as robot benefits, social skills, and technology attitudes. Cluster analysis divides respondents into "high techies" and "high touches," depending on their service robot acceptance. The regression study clarifies how numerous factors affect retail robot-assisted service perceptions. Retailers and policymakers can learn from the survey that consumer opinion is significant for the future integration of robots in retail.

Authors: Pratiwi Putu Yani , Handra Tessa , Sutisna Felix
Published: November 2024

Consumers play an important role in transforming the economic system into a circular economy. Some literature highlighted that consumer demand has become an enabler for businesses to adopt circular practices. However, other literature argues that although consumers are aware of environmental sustainability issues, their adoption of circular products and services is still low, which is termed as an "intention–action gap." This "intention–action gap" becomes a socio-cultural barrier for businesses to adopt circular practices. This paper aims to increase knowledge and understanding about the role of consumers perceived by circular start-ups. A qualitative case study approach was employed by conducting in-depth interviews with four circular start-ups. This study is expected to shed light on the role of consumers either as enablers or barriers to the circular economy in Indonesia.

Authors: Oon John Chuah Chong , Jaiman Cartaz Ummu Syawaeda Bt , Basir Sayidah Asma , Kuppanan Krishnan A/L
Published: November 2024

Members of a company can vote in general meetings to alter the company’s constitution. The courts can also alter the company’s constitution under section 37(1) of the Companies Act 2016. The problem is that of statutory construction. A literal interpretation means altering the contents of the constitution without voting. A purposive construction entails an alteration of the quorum or procedures to facilitate proper voting. The objective of this paper is to ascertain how the Malaysian courts exercise that power. A comparative research methodology involving a legal doctrinal analysis is employed. Primary and secondary sources of law throughout the commonwealth countries are ascertained as to the effect of the law on the research objectives. The findings reveal that alteration by the court entails a direct alteration of the constitution and not the procedures therein to facilitate proper voting. In the absence of oppression, an alteration is possible to satisfy the legitimate business or management expectations of members, according to a shareholders' agreement. This is true in private companies where shares cannot be transferred to outsiders and quasi-partnership companies. Retrospective alteration and alteration that affects third-party rights cannot be made in the event proper voting can be executed under the existing constitution.

Authors: Danni Wang , Qi Zhong
Published: November 2024

The dividend policy plays a pivotal role in stabilizing stock prices and sustaining investor enthusiasm for listed companies. It not only significantly impacts the interests of management, investors, and creditors but also has long-term implications for the company's development. However, most studies on Chinese enterprises' dividend policies primarily rely on empirical research methods, with limited literature available on individual companies. The utilization of a case analysis methodology in this study has significantly enhanced the research cases related to China's dividend policies, thereby providing valuable insights for the advancement of analogous industries and the formulation of future dividend policies. In this study, Haier Smart Home Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Haier"), a publicly traded company on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, is selected as the case study subject in order to examine the impact of dividend policy on corporate value from a financial perspective. Through an analysis of Haier's dividend allocation data from 2008 to 2022 and an evaluation of various financial indicators during this period, we find that a stable dividend payment level can effectively sustain the enterprise value of the company. Therefore, it is recommended for listed companies to optimize their ownership structure and enhance corporate governance while strategically formulating dividend policies aligned with their financial performance and corporate strategy.

Published: November 2024

Budgeting is a common approach financial advisors introduce to teach individuals how to manage their expenses. Without budgeting, however, family living expenses may exceed the available income and jeopardise the family's overall financial goals. Financial issues are one of the significant causes of instability among families, especially lowincome earners who live below the usual standard and have an income that can only go for food and housing, making it impossible to satisfy their family's needs and attain goals. This scenario puts low-income families in a problematic state or condition that can be resolved through adequate financial support. This study examines the dynamics of household budgeting practices across various income groups within the Klang Valley region. The study also aims to identify the importance of budget allocation and expenditure priorities among low-income, middle-income, and high-income households. It underscores the crucial role of financial literacy and planning factors in budgeting practices, empowering individuals with the knowledge to manage their finances effectively. Data were collected from 65 tourism industry workers with multiple backgrounds by distributing questionnaires using a convenient sampling approach. The data collected were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software. The findings contribute to a better understanding of how income disparities shape household finances and inform policy interventions to enhance financial resilience and equity within the Klang Valley community.

Through a comprehensive literature review and theoretical exploration, this study articulates how women entrepreneurs' perspectives are intricately aligned with both familial values and business imperatives. HESSI employs a robust suite of indicators to measure financial robustness, societal contribution, environmental stewardship, and family solidarity—each meticulously refined to reflect the specificities of women-led SFBs. These indicators transcend traditional, financial-centric metrics, advocating for an expansive evaluation of success that considers economic performance alongside social, environmental, and familial well-being. Crucially, the HESSI framework incorporates women's familial insights, positioning them as a driver of internal cohesion and a pivotal element in integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles. This broader vision of success metrics includes family unity and the perpetuation of legacy. HESSI promotes an all-encompassing approach to success evaluation that is grounded in gender perspectives, entrepreneurial agility, and a staunch commitment to sustainability principles. The discourse presented is a significant contribution to the fields of gender, entrepreneurship, and sustainable development, providing actionable insights into the vital role of women entrepreneurs in forwarding the sustainability agenda. It underscores the importance of advancing education, reinforcing policy frameworks, and fostering community solidarity to support and extend the reach of women-led SFBs, thus charting a course towards a more equitable and sustainable future in the business landscape.

In the past two decades, the digital landscape has witnessed the emergence of digital currencies. These digital currencies, lacking physical form, facilitate online payments and direct Internet transactions for goods and services without the need for traditional banks or intermediaries. Despite the increasing popularity of digital currencies, a notable challenge persists due to the widespread lack of understanding and awareness, especially in developing countries. Nonetheless, this obstacle can be overcome through directed educational and awareness campaigns. As a result, an initial study into youth awareness of digital currencies, also known as cryptocurrencies in this article, has been carried out. This initial study on awareness surveys respondents' experiences with and trust in cryptocurrencies. A survey was conducted by distributing an online questionnaire, employing a stratified sampling method, resulting in 80 responses from youth in the Northern states of Malaysia. The survey results indicate that 39% of the respondents had less than one year of experience using cryptocurrencies, while 27% reported no prior experience. Despite the limited experience of most respondents with cryptocurrencies, the survey findings imply that most respondents trust the investment benefits of cryptocurrencies. In conclusion, the importance of ongoing research endeavours, particularly within Malaysia, cannot be understated in comprehensively understanding the factors that influence the utilisation of cryptocurrencies.

This research paper delves into the process by which industrial companies issuing green bonds can secure certification from reputable underwriters. By analyzing data from international green corporate bond offerings from the period between 2014 and 2022, the study aims to unravel the factors that influence underwriter selection decisions. Using a logit model to address the potential biases, the research reveals specific firm and bond characteristics that significantly impact the likelihood of collaborating with reputable underwriters. The findings indicate that reputable underwriters exhibit a preference for larger firms demonstrating strong financial performance, dealing with larger bond sizes, and possessing distinct bond features such as callability and involvement in private placements. Additionally, variables like maturity periods, involvement in finance vehicles, credit ratings, and syndicate size emerge as crucial factors in underwriter selection processes. These insights highlight the critical factors that issuers must thoroughly assess when selecting underwriters with strong reputations. The significance role of underwriter credibility, capabilities, and reliability in shaping the landscape of green bond underwriting is emphasized. This analysis holds relevance for both academic research and industry practitioners within the realm of sustainable finance.
