Businesses should utilize Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) marketing communications to show genuine support for stakeholders affected by the Covid19 pandemic. This study focuses on two forms of CSR marketing communications: cause-related marketing (CRM) and cause sponsorship (CS). This research would look into how CRM and CS’s company cause fit will affect eWOM (electronic word-of-mouth), a type of consumer response. A survey-based within-subjects trial of CRM and CS x 2 company-cause fit will be conducted on active Facebook users aged 18 to 64 years old. Ten (10) pre-selected firms from the Philippines' Top 30 Businesses were selected. These companies posted both CRM and CS Facebook messages. The CRM posts will be shown to half of the sample size (N=272), while the CS posts will be shown to the other half (N=272) and graded via a questionnaire. The research concluded that there were positive relationships between CRM and CS’s company-cause fit and eWOM. Between the two, CRM had a greater effect on eWOM as compared to CS. This was also evident in the models. The higher the company-cause fit, the higher the eWOM response. The suggestion to companies was to concentrate on CRM FB posts with the high company-cause fit so that the occurrence of eWOM would be higher especially during periods of crisis like the Covid19 pandemic. For future researchers, other forms of CSR marketing communications and consumer responses may be studied to further increase the effectiveness of Facebook CSR posts.

Businesses should use Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) marketing communications to show genuine support for stakeholders affected by the Covid19 pandemic. Two forms of CSR marketing communications were focused on: cause-related marketing (CRM) and cause sponsorship (CS). This research looked into how CRM and CS impact customer responses to: a) like/join the company's Facebook page, b) exchange CSR activities through eWOM (electronic word-of-mouth), and c) intention to buy the company's products and services (purchase intention). The company-cause fit was the dependent variable that was tested against the three responses. A survey-based within-subjects experiment of CRM and CS x 2 (good fit / bad fit) was conducted on active Facebook users aged 18 to 64 years old. Ten (10) pre-selected firms from the Philippines' Top 30 Businesses were listed, These companies released both CRM and CS Facebook posts. The CRM posts were shown to half of the sample size (n=136), while the CS posts were shown to the other half (n=136) and rated by a questionnaire. This research suggested models based on regression analysis and modeling that would advise companies how to better conduct CRM and CS online operations in order to maximize investments, especially during periods of crisis like the Covid19 pandemic.

The growth of the construction industry in Indonesia is constantly bearing straight to its economic growth and contributes by more than 10% to the country's gross domestic product in the period 2015-2020. The construction market share in Indonesia is dominated by large contractors who control 85% of the total projects even though they are only 0.96% of the total population, while the smaller contractors only control the remaining 15%. Smaller companies only select a project based on their experience and colleagues’ recommendations. It is getting worse because the decision-makers never consider any method to assist the decision-making process as they do not have sufficient knowledge, then they should face some losses which cost big amounts of money compared to their companies’ size The use of AHP on this research will help the smaller contractors to take better decision making yet minimizing their chance of failure and risk. The objectives of this research are to determine the factors that significantly influence project selection in the construction industry and to provide recommendations of the project selection for the construction industry. This research aims to support the smaller contractors to utilize their chance in project selection in order to compete with the big companies.

Entrepreneurship careers are increasingly widespread and well-suited for business as they contribute to the country's economic growth. However, studies show that most students think that the entrepreneurship field cannot provide a bright future and prefer to choose salary-based employment. Therefore, the study aimed to identify the relationship between cognitive, affective, and behavioral attitude with the entrepreneurship career choice among undergraduate final year students at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). This study uses a quantitative approach and the survey method involved 336 undergraduate final year students from Bangi main campus and the questionnaire was used as a research instrument adapted from the previous study. Data were processed using Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) 23.0 software which involved descriptive and inferential analysis. The results of the study show that the level of application of cognitive, affective, and behavioral attitudes as well as the level of the tendency of entrepreneurial career choice of final-year students is moderate and there is no difference in entrepreneurial career choice between male and female students. In addition, the study also shows that there is a strong relationship between cognitive, affective, and behavioral attitudes with entrepreneurial career choice and also found that cognitive, affective, and behavioral attitudes influence the entrepreneurial career choice of undergraduate final year students. The implication of this study shows that final year students have a moderate entrepreneurial career tendency and can be enhanced with an emphasis on developing a positive cognitive attitude, affective attitude, and behavioral attitude. Therefore, entrepreneurship educators should also be committed to exposing students to entrepreneurial activities and strengthening their entrepreneurial education.

The advancement of finance technology in global marketing has given a big impact on the business ecosystem in this day of age. In the year 2003, around 25 million cell phone users had used their mobile devices to make purchases. However, the usage of e-Wallet still has not gained much interest by Malaysians during the business. In the first term of 2020, the world was hit by the Covid-19 pandemic that had changed the scenario of the global business ecosystem. The usage of e-Wallet has been the medium of the transaction when purchasing items for society since the start of the outbreak. The usage of e-Wallet is very popular among youth. Hence, a study has been conducted at a public institution of higher learning in south Sarawak to find out the factors that affect the usage of e-wallet among youth. The variables of this study are speed, security, social influence, and convenience. In total, 169 youth in the age range of 20-22 years old had participated in this study that was conducted online. The correlation has been analysed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) and Data Analysis for Excel. The finding shows that there is a significant relationship between all factors tested with the use of e-wallet. Overall, e-Wallet usage is moderate among youth.
