The concept of responsible business is well-known, but not necessarily known well. In this editorial, we seek to conduct a timely introspection of the term, clarifying its definition and characteristics, and launching future research prospects for scholars. Within this vein, it is evident that there is overall consensus as to the principles of responsible business, though there are ongoing debates as to how the term is manifested across different contexts comprising stakeholders with various priorities. For this reason, we argue that a contextual approach is needed, and that businesses need to align their organizational goals with wider expectations on environmental, social and corporate governance outcomes as informed by their ecosystems. Future studies should then be directed towards unpacking some of these cultural influences, and the effectiveness of the quadruple helix (business, academia, industry and society) in delivering responsible business outcomes. These can likewise be undertaken through cross-comparative and longitudinal studies to elucidate global best practices.

Academic marketing scholars have paid considerable attention to the green purchasing intention of fashion products. From the perspective of transition countries, research on environmental awareness and consumers' attitude toward green purchasing is extremely limited, particularly for fashion products. The purpose of this study is to examine the factors that influence the green purchase intention of fashion products from the perspective of Vietnam, a transition country. This study used an integrated research model by combining the Value Identity Personal Norm Model and the Theory of Planned Behavior. This model was used to determine how Vietnamese consumers plan to buy green products in the fashion industry. Notably, personal norms and the attitudes of consumers are two mediators in the research model. To collect data, a self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted in the three largest cities in Vietnam. Three hundred and forty-eight valid responses were analyzed using the SmartPLS 3.0 software for partial least squares structural equation modeling. Findings indicate that environmental self-identity and personal norms have a significant influence on attitude toward green fashion purchase intention. In turn, the strongest predictor of green purchase intention is the attitude, followed by subjective norms and perceived behavioral control. As a result, solutions are proposed for marketers and government bodies to change their approach to promoting green purchasing behavior in the Vietnamese apparel industry.

Intense competition in the online retailing arena is transforming retailing systems to include mobile commerce resulting in increasing challenges to retailers since adoption is voluntary and changing consumer expectations shaped by circumstances, norms, and the need for new technology adaptations. As consumer behaviour is easily affected by the increasing social interactions through social networking media, the human and social factors that technology adoption theories lacks were commonly added into the studies to improve predictive capabilities. Therefore, this study investigates the social dimension’s effects on technology adoption by adopting the institutional theory concept i.e., isomorphism, and conducting a systematic literature review exercise basing on the PRISMA framework. Articles review found organisation adoption studies commonly adapted institutional theory, but scarcity on consumer technology adoption. Isomorphic forces (i.e., coercive pressures, mimetic pressures, normative pressures) would significantly affect technological adoption and apply to both organisational and consumer adoption because individual behaviour detects successful adoption. By understanding market isomorphic forces, retailers could use the facts to formulate marketing strategies. The systematic literature review also showed variation in technology adoption because of cultural differences, norms, demographics, etc. Market isomorphism inclusion in consumer adoption studies is scarce. Recommendation for inclusion is encouraged for further investigation into its discriminant validity and definitions.

Asian organizations need to engage media to establish trust and reputation. This research examines the phenomenon of press engagement, focusing on the relationship between public relations professionals of organizations and journalists. The study draws on both the public relations and relationship marketing literature to examine the efficacy surrounding various press engagement strategies. Eighteen indepth interviews were conducted with journalists from broadcast, print, and online media in Hong Kong. The results were analyzed using a grounded theory approach. Four press engagement themes emerged, including role reinforcement, responsiveness, social justice and segregation. These themes provide guidance for Asian businesses and organizations to develop their media relationship strategies. As there is no study that has investigated PR-journalist dyad relationshipsfrom the angle of the PR and customer engagement literature, this study offers new insights on organizational relationship marketing within a corporate communication context.

The success of convenience stores is not only the proximity factor but also time, especially for postmodern individuals who are characterized by the need for speed and social interaction. Research linking proximity and time is still very limited, while the two variables are closely related to shopping activities. This study aims to examine the relationships between both material and immaterial proximity to retail loyalty; and the mediating role of time management and time saving (time convenience). This study used quantitative methods by means of PLS, where a total of 150 responses were collected from minimarket consumers in residential areas in Indonesia using a purposive sampling method. The results show that access, functional and social proximities affect time management, while time saving factors are only functional and relational proximities. Both time management and time saving have a positive relationship with loyalty. The mediation test found that time management mediates the effects of access, functional and social proximities on loyalty. Meanwhile, time saving mediates the effects of functional and relational proximities on loyalty. This finding mainly fills a gap in research that is still limited in linking the immaterial dimensions of intimacy and customer loyalty. This research enriches the concept of location for the service industry, especially retailers and provides practical implications in store operational management.

This study aims to investigate the causal factors influencing value creation of halal logistics services during the business crisis caused by COVID-19. The study constructs a model to explain the causal factors in relation to resources dimension, risk management, and innovation solution. It uses a questionnaire survey to collect data from 200 Thai logistics service providers experienced in delivering logistics services for healthy and safe halal, agricultural, and food products. The findings reveal a positive association between innovation solution and value creation. This implies that, during crises, the use of tangible and intangible resources can help organizations gain competitive advantage. The innovation of halal logistics services can help organizations maximize the use of their limited resources. Risk management can positively influence value creation by identifying, evaluating, and preventing the risks associated with halal supply chain management. The innovation solutions and risk management mediate the relationship between resource dimensions and value creation. These findings can guide halal logistics providers during crises to deliver value in markets with a high Muslim population and consumer demand for highquality goods and services.

Stock prices change as news become available about businesses; the change in price process is a reflection of financial markets’ expectations about firms’ performance. Consequently both, financial measures & fundamental measures change as a result. Researchers explored how well the financial measures explain firms’ performance and future stock price movements. The purpose of this study is to explore if the volatility of financial measures are better predictors of stock price movements – an empirical evidence from the financial sector during 2008 market correction. Study develops a two-step scenario is developed; 1- The first step examines the use of the financial measures as leading measures to project stock price movement during 1998 and 2007 period. 2- The second step examines the co-movement of financial measures volatility with stock prices during the same period. Study shows evidence that the co-movement between Price/ Book volatility and that of stock price during 2008 market correction is significant and consistent across the six main financial industries.

This empirical research study aimed to examine factors influencing consumer’s behavioral intentions to purchase products via live-streaming services. This study proposed four key factors, namely customer perception, marketing mix, content marketing, and influencer, and tested their relationships with the perceived value and attitude through consumer’s behavior. At the same time, the path analysis of the perceived value and attitude was conducted to reveal the relationships with consumer’s behavioral intentions through consumer’s online purchase intention. The proposed theoretical model comprised relevant variables developed from the current literature on digital marketing disciplines under three theoretical strands, where the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) was established as the main theory. The study tested the structural model using cross-sectional data. Purposive sampling was used to administer a questionnaire to 198 participants who had experience with livestreaming online shopping, and the data was analyzed using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach and regression analysis. The findings showed that customer perception and marketing mix had significant positive impacts on perceived value. Content marketing and influencer marketing also had positive relationships with consumer’s attitudes. Moreover, consumer’s perceived value and attitudes influenced their behavior and actions. These results reaffirmed the positive role of consumer’s behavioral intentions in their online purchase intentions.

As most of the developed societies are ageing, how to engage older consumers in advertising has become important to marketing communication practitioners. A qualitative study was conducted in March 2021 by interviewing a convenience sample of 20 persons aged 50 to 64 in China. Interviewees most often recalled celebrity endorsers who frequently appear in popular TV dramas. Source attractiveness was the main reason for recalling the celebrity endorsers. Source attractiveness, source credibility, and congruency with image of the brand, as well as moral qualities of celebrities were frequently reported as major factors that brands should consider when selecting an endorser. Interviewees perceived that credibility of endorsers was closely related to their moral behavior. Regarding advertising effect, interviewees perceived that advertisements with celebrity endorsement could enhance brand awareness, create positive feelings about the brand, and enhance purchase intention. Interviewees perceived that traditional celebrities enjoy a higher level of credibility and persistence of popularity than online influencers. The study discusses the theoretical implications for whether the main theories of celebrity endorsement are applicable to older people in China as well as the practical implications for marketing communications.
