As COVID-19 evolves and weaken overtime, countries have begun to relax lockdowns, mobility restrictions, and allow businesses and societies to return to normal. Therefore, this study aims to investigate determinants of continuance intention to use mobile applications in the post-pandemic era. Based on the expectation-confirmation theory, the study obtained data from 375 respondents through a quantitative research strategy. The findings of this study show that expectation-confirmation influences satisfaction. Perceived usefulness had a positive influence on both satisfaction and continuance intention to use mobile applications. Customer satisfaction was also found to positively influence continuance intention to use mobile applications. Notably, the study also found that perceived privacy risk negatively moderates the relationship between satisfaction and continuance intention. The study contributes to the continuance intention literature and highlights important factors that can influence customers to continue using mobile applications in the post-pandemic era.

Real-life problems are multifaceted in nature and can create ambiguity in decision-making. Consequently, it is difficult to make the scoring criteria precise and to ultimate the exact values of attributes in multi-criteria analysis. Usually, an individual DM cannot make a judgement alone. In fact, he was unable to effectively define the opinions and the favourites of the entire team using multiple criteria, as everyone seeks to demonstrate their personal impact on the process in terms of his individual and team interests. This paper examines one of the sorting methods, named FlowSort, and extends it to multi-criteria group decision-making based on the aggregation of individual sorting result outputs. The evaluation of each alternative is described by lexical terms that can be represented by triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. To validate our extension, an illustrative example and empirical comparison with other multi-criteria decision-making methods is carried out.

Dynamic capabilities have become well established as a new imperative for organising M&A processes. However, understanding the full benefits and possible limits of real options applications to measure a dynamic capability-based (managerial) synergies remains a challenge. The author developed three propositions and justified them by application of dynamic capabilities framework and real options theory to highly strategic and not standard M&A deal: Amazon's acquisition of Whole Foods in 2017. The illustrative case study made it possible to bridge together two streams of research on dynamic capabilities and real options. While the empirical application of the dynamic capabilities' framework makes them more visible, the application of the real options is making dynamic capabilities measurable in the M&A deals. In the end, the author discusses theoretical and managerial contributions, limitations, and future work.

Stakeholder engagement has always been a field of concern for project managers. As part of economic growth and better living conditions, governments are investing massively on public infrastructure projects, pressing the urge for project success. This paper seeks to extract lessons learnt from stakeholder engagement in public infrastructure projects in Australia. This study extracts 21 lessons regarding stakeholder management in public infrastructure project from its 3 case studies, and proposes a framework of lessons. These 21 lessons are categorised into conflict/dispute, communication, methodology/tools/techniques, legislation, resource management, relationships/attitude/behaviour, health and safety and project team. To the best of our knowledge, there is no article that has specifically looked into exploring a big picture taxonomy of lessons learnt from stakeholder engagement in public infrastructure projects through multiple case studies.

In Bangladesh, men and women are entering business not only to earn money but also to change their social conditions. Capital for conducting business is a big challenge for both male and female entrepreneurs. However, due to the lack of a proper loan eligibility system, both male and female entrepreneurs faced several problems regarding getting loans. Most entrepreneurs are unwilling to take loans from banks because their loan applications are rejected for various reasons. To overcome these challenges, in this paper, an automated recommendation system has been provided in a mobile application. This paper collects a real-time dataset for loan approval prediction systems. The system also develops a prediction model using machine learning algorithms that predict an entrepreneur's loan eligibility. The android application offers recommendations for a suitable bank for an eligible entrepreneur based on the prediction model and user data. The presented results confirm the necessity of our proposed system.
