title: Confirmatory factor analysis of marketing performance dimensions: a lesson from SMEs in Malang, Indonesia

description: Literature on marketing has been extensive, with attention given mostly to measuring performance. This article extends the body of knowledge by focusing on the evolution of marketing measurement and the emerging trends. The novelty lies in the involvement of developing-country SMEs, with the goal of developing a model for measuring SMEs’ marketing performance. A simple random sampling was used to survey 101 SMEs in Malang, Indonesia. The data was analyzed using SEM PLS. The findings show six dimensions to measure marketing performance in SMEs: product market level, marketing effectiveness, customers, financial performance, marketing efficiency, and adaptability. This study contributes to the existing literature on marketing performance and fills a gap by exploring the financial, market-related, and internal aspects from an SME’s perspective. The practical implication is that SMEs need to encourage business activities and adapt the measurement based on these marketing performance dimensions. In addition, the findings can help SMEs with self-learning processes. They can measure marketing performance, identify the weaknesses and strengths of their business, and understand their business positioning. For researchers and policymakers, this study provides insight into the current state of SMEs and their level of maturity. Resanti Lestari Research Description SME growth has numerous challenges despite being a sector that significantly boosts Indonesia’s GDP. SMEs struggle with a number of issues, including their inability to carry out comprehensive, logical analyses based on data.This research can assist to giving understanding about how SMEs measure their Marketing Performance. Marketing performance measurement is a form of corporate control in management and the form is an instrument used to assess the overall performance of marketing. This research examines the search for a form of marketing measurement that is suitable for the SME sector. Purpose of this study, is to construct a marketing performance measurement model with dimensions and measurements that are only needed by the SME sector. This research provides implications in the form of a marketing measurement guidance model needed for SMEs.

title: Exchange rates convergence in ECOWAS: WAMZ and WAEMU analysis on frequency time domains

description: This study explores the interdependence of exchange rates between the West African Monetary Zone and the West African Economic and Monetary Union countries using monthly data from 2000 to 2021. Employing wavelet multiple correlation and wavelet multiple cross-correlation by Fernando-Macho, we generally uncovered low degrees of integration between the two blocs at higher frequencies, but the level of integration gradually becomes stronger as it navigates from higher a frequency (lower scale) to a lower frequency (higher scale). This implies that ex-ante convergence of exchange rates is difficult; however, in the long time horizon, exchange rate convergence is possible. Evidence from cross-correlation analysis shows that lead (lag) effects is time-varying and heterogeneous, showing no particular country’s exchange rates as leaders or followers. Different currencies have the potential to lead or lag on varying scales. These results suggest that member states establish a regional surveillance mechanism that can monitor macroeconomic indicators in the region. The effective implementation of this mechanism can aid in identifying macroeconomic imbalances and potential risks to macroeconomic stability and convergence. Exchange rate comovement is important for guaranteeing the introduction of a single currency. This is not different from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The region seeks to accomplish this by developing robust and sound policies that ensure the synchronization of exchange rates. This study examines the comovements of exchange rates between WAMZ and the WAEMU countries. The results show that the ex-ante convergence of exchange rates is difficult for the region; however, in the long time horizon, exchange rate convergence is possible. Evidence from cross-correlation analysis shows that lead (lag) effects is time-varying and heterogeneous, showing no particular country’s exchange rate as leader or follower. The study recommends that the heads of states of ECOWAS consider the introduction of the ‘<i>eco’</i> ex-post because exchange rates can converge in the long run.

title: Corporate governance, intellectual capital, and organizational culture: their influence on lean manufacturing and firm value

description: This study aims to explore the relationship between the implementation of Corporate Governance, Intellectual Capital, Organizational Culture, and Firm Value, with lean manufacturing serving as an intervening variable. Previous research has identified that Corporate Governance, Intellectual Capital, and Organizational Culture have a positive and significant impact on firm value, as measured using Tobin’s Q. This research further investigates whether the implementation of lean manufacturing mediates the enhancement of this relationship. The study was conducted on 242 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The data for this study were collected using primary data from survey questionnaires, resulting in 118 research samples, and secondary data obtained from financial reports published by the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The data were processed using Structural Equation Modelling through the Partial Least Square (PLS-SEM) approach. The findings reveal that intellectual capital and lean manufacturing have a significant positive effect on firm value, while organizational culture has a significant negative effect on firm value. Corporate governance, intellectual capital, and organizational culture have a significant and positive effect on the implementation of lean manufacturing. Lean manufacturing does not mediate the impact of corporate governance and intellectual capital on Firm Value but does mediate the significant effect of organizational culture on firm value. This research delves into the roles of corporate governance, intellectual capital, and organizational culture in the implementation of lean manufacturing and their effects on firm value. The findings of this study offer insights for practitioners, highlighting that boards of directors still need to strengthen oversight of internal company operations regarding the roles and contributions of committees and executive boards as part of corporate governance. Commissioners should also actively evaluate reports on organizational culture and the effectiveness of lean manufacturing in enhancing firm value. Boards of directors and managers need to develop an organizational culture that supports the application of firm values through realistic and implementable policies and procedures for employee and management performance. Employees should enhance their competencies and abilities through training and internships that align with firm needs.

title: Mediating role of entrepreneurial intention on the relationship between entrepreneurship education and employability: a study on university students from a developing country

description: This study assesses how entrepreneurship education influences the entrepreneurial intentions and employability of students. It also investigates the mediation effect of entrepreneurial intentions on the relationship between entrepreneurial education and employability, as well as the direct effects on employability. In this research, a quantitative method was used to gather data from 397 university students through a survey questionnaire measured on a seven-point Likert scale using a convenience sampling method. We utilized structural equation modeling (SEM) to examine the data. A CMV model was used to evaluate the model’s fitness, validity, reliability and of the data, and an SEM technique was used to test the hypotheses. The study found that entrepreneurship education could boost students’ employability as well as their desire to start their own businesses. It shows how important entrepreneurship education is for learning the skills and knowledge needed to start a business. The study also suggests that having entrepreneurial intentions can enhance one’s employability. This study reveals a heightened understanding of how entrepreneurship education impacts on entrepreneurial intention and employability. These insights can guide improvements in entrepreneurship programs to align with local employment needs. Moreover, the identified mediator, entrepreneurial intentions, presents a targeted opportunity for intervention, suggesting practical ways to cultivate entrepreneurial skills and mindset, ultimately enhancing employability prospects in the region. Unlocking the doors to career success and personal enterprise, our study delves into the transformative power of entrepreneurship education. We discovered that not only does such education enhance employability among students, but it ignites a passion for entrepreneurship itself. Picture a world where learning to start your own business not only opens doors to self-employment but also boosts your overall job prospects. Our findings shed light on the vital role entrepreneurial intentions play in this journey, offering a roadmap for educators and policymakers to refine programs that not only meet local employment needs but also foster a mindset of innovation and empowerment. Join us in envisioning a future where education becomes the key to unlocking both traditional job opportunities and the entrepreneurial spirit within us all.

title: Rethinking growth and survival of hospitality industry in Jordan: the role of responsible and resilient leadership styles in managing crisis

description: The crisis in Jordan has had disastrous effects on the national economy, particularly impacting the hospitality sector. Confronted with dramatic uncertainty, hospitality leaders must rapidly nurture responsibility and resilience. To enhance our understanding of how responsible and resilient leadership responds to such shocks, we aim to investigate if responsible and resilient leadership styles can foster crisis management in the hospitality sector through the mediating path of knowledge management, and the moderating role of digital transformation using the conservation of resources (COR) theory to support our hypotheses. This theory asserts that organizational resources facilitate effective crisis management, implying that adequate resources and support systems enable organizations to navigate and recover from crises effectively. Data was gathered from 154 owners and senior managers in the hospitality sector, and the proposed relationships were evaluated using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). These findings imply that responsible and resilient leadership styles significantly influence crisis management. Furthermore, knowledge sharing mediates the relationship between these leadership styles and effective crisis management. Finally, the study identifies digital transformation as a significant moderator between knowledge sharing and crisis management. This research contributes to the existing literature on leadership and crisis management by demonstrating that, during times of crisis, leadership characterized by responsibility and resilience enhances crisis management within the hospitality sector.
