ABSTRACT This paper aims to examine the effect of cultural relational capability, managerial systems relational capability, value co-creation activities on business performance. The respondents are the owners of fashion retail SMEs in Indonesia. The data was processed by using Structural Equation Modeling. This study found that cultural relational capability and managerial systems relational capability have a significant effect on value co-creation activities and business performance. Furthermore, value co-creation activities can be a mediator of the relationship between cultural relational capability and managerial systems relational capability on business performance.

ABSTRACT The importance of understanding how to encourage consumer loyalty is critical to the success of a retail establishment. Faithful customers are more likely to be repeat buyers, purchase more frequently and recommend the store to others. Thus, it is essential to understand the factors that drive the most dedicated patrons. In this study, we look at whether salesperson behaviors, perceptions of their expertise, the quality of the products offered, and the overall reputation of the retailer, influence allegiance to a store. The results indicate that two variables, salesperson behavior and quality of the products offered at the store, significantly affect customer loyalty.

ABSTRACT This study aims to identify the interrelationships among the three variables – corporate social responsibility (CSR) engagement, consumer-company identification (C-C identification), and electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) in the Philippine television network industry. This study also investigates whether C-C identification can act as a mediator between CSR and eWOM. The participants were viewers and supporters of two leading television networks (ABS-CBN and GMA) in the Philippines (sample size = 433). Quantitative research and a causal predictive approach were utilized in this study. The survey-based data were analyzed through partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to estimate the parameters of the structural model. The results showed that CSR engagement has a significant and positive effect on consumer company identification (C-C identification). A significant relationship between CSR engagement and positive eWOM is also supported. Moreover, C-C identification also positively influences eWOM. The mediation analysis also revealed that C-C identification mediates the relationship between CSR engagement and eWOM.

The world press has been rife with stories about Chinese housing developer Evergrande, and their probable inability to make do with their excessive debt payments. Evergrande, a top five Chinese housing developer, participates in a housing market that accounts for almost 30% of Chinese GDP. Currently, Evergrande has more than 800 projects spread among cities of all sizes in China. Unfortunately, construction has recently ceased on 500 of those projects as the firm has run into liquidity issues. One might question how this could happen, as housing demand in China has remained lightning hot. In fact, Evergrande had pre-sold 1.2 million homes in advance of completion. The unprecedented demand for housing has led to record home prices in China, a phenomenon also witnessed in Korea, Japan, India, and Australia. The increase in home prices should be familiar to Western audiences, as this same story has been told in numerous markets in Europe and North America recently. After almost two years of work from home owing to the pandemic, housing has never been more important. Unfortunately, at least in China, the concomitant rise in income has not kept pace with the increase in housing prices, causing the size of the Evergrande starter flat to continually shrink. As Chinese home buyers reach for that buoyant euphoric future, the resultant first home has increasingly resembled a smaller version of itself. If housing demand was not the problem for Evergrande, what was? After the company went public in 2009, the ensuing decade saw loose credit and low interest rates, which allowed the firm to expand their empire via land acquisitions. For a housing developer, the first step in housing construction is often land purchases. Then, the firm can decide on what type and how many homes can be constructed based on local zoning ordinances and housing aesthetical and affordability considerations. As the credit enabled land acquisition binge was unfolding, Evergrande diversified into a dizzying array of unrelated businesses including electric vehicles, bottled water (as marketed by Jackie Chan), online car sales, an amusement park, and even a majority investment in the Guangzhou football club. These competing business interests, along with the accumulation of over 570 billion yuan of interest-bearing debt, have brought Evergrande to its current predicament. How these issues compounded into the impact on housing construction is evidenced by 60% of the firm’s assets now consisting of unbuilt/unsold properties.

世界媒体一直充斥着有关中国房地产开发商恒大(Evergrande)的报道，以及该公司可能无力偿还过多债务的消息。恒大是中国五大房地产开发商之一，参与的房地产市场占中国GDP的近30%。目前，恒大在中国拥有800多个项目，分布在不同规模的城市。不幸的是，由于该公司遇到流动性问题，其中500个项目最近停止了建设。有人可能会问，这是怎么发生的，因为中国的住房需求仍然异常火爆。事实上，恒大已经提前预售了120万套住房。史无前例的住房需求导致中国房价创下历史新高，韩国、日本、印度、澳大利亚也出现了这种现象。西方观众应该对房价上涨很熟悉，因为最近欧洲和北美的许多市场都在讲述同样的故事。由于大流行，我在家工作了近两年，住房从未像现在这样重要。不幸的是，至少在中国，收入的增加并没有跟上房价的上涨，导致恒大的首发公寓的面积不断缩小。随着中国购房者追求乐观乐观的未来，由此产生的第一套住房越来越像缩小版的自己。如果住房需求不是恒大的问题，那么什么才是?2009年该公司上市后，接下来的十年里，信贷宽松，利率低，这使得该公司能够通过收购土地来扩大自己的帝国。对于住房开发商来说，住房建设的第一步通常是购买土地。然后，该公司可以根据当地的分区条例，以及房屋美学和可负担性方面的考虑，决定建造哪种类型和多少套房屋。随着信贷推动的土地收购热潮的展开，恒大进行了多元化经营，涉足了一系列令人眼花缭乱的不相关业务，包括电动汽车、瓶装水(由成龙营销)、在线汽车销售、一家游乐园，甚至还投资了广州足球俱乐部。这些相互竞争的商业利益，加上累计超过5700亿元的有息债务，使恒大陷入了目前的困境。这些问题是如何对住房建设产生影响的，目前该公司60%的资产由未建成/未售出的房产组成。《亚太商业杂志》(JOURNAL OF ASIA-PACIFIC BUSINESS)， 2022年第23卷，第2期。1,1 - 4 https://doi.org/10.1080/10599231.2022.2052448

This article aims to assess the efficiency levels of the Indian consumer electronics sector listed companies. The efficiency levels of the Decision-Making Units (DMUs) have been assessed using a non-parametric technique, that is, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The present study is based on panel data of a group of 16 companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange for the period March 31, 2014 to March 31, 2018. The study is based on an output-oriented DEA mechanism, that is, profit maximization and Production maximization instead of input-oriented DEA that emphasizes cost and input minimization. The Data Envelopment Analysis has been performed through DEA Excel Solver Pro and R-3.4.1 Software to analyze efficiency levels of the companies mentioned above. The companies’ performance for the period under review has assessed and compared through the use of the Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) and Tobit Regression. There are very few known studies that have focused on assessing the efficiency level of Indian Consumer’ electronic market using outputoriented DEA models. As per our information, this study is unique in terms of analyzing the efficiency level of the Indian consumer electronic sector for 5 years. The DEA method, along with two other techniques, that is, Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) and Tobit Regression, can be explained in detail and much more realistic compared to other techniques.

ABSTRACT Entailing a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis, this study explored alternative configurations leading to high-level work-family facilitation among 142 and 127 flight attendants employed respectively in Asian airline companies in Taiwan and Vietnam. Results revealed three paths in Taiwan and two paths in Vietnam that explained high work-family facilitation levels. A welfare system and compensation were identified as core facilitating conditions in Taiwan and Vietnam, respectively. The findings offer theoretical insights and practical guidelines to advance understanding of the complex interactions of internal marketing dimensions on work-family facilitation and suggest new directions for future research.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to explore lookism over a wide range of occupations in the Chinese workplace and investigate if the occurrence of lookism in job advertisements was associated to gender type of occupations and other occupation characteristics. Participants (N = 243) estimated the percentage of female job incumbents for each investigated occupation (N = 20). Content analysis was conducted to examine the occurrence of terms related to physical attributes in the job advertisements (N = 2000) across the 20 occupations. We found that Chinese employers explicitly specified what physical attributes are desirable among their potential employees. Lookism is markedly high in female-dominated occupations.
