Sustainable smart houses are one of the methods through which all these factors can be touched upon because such houses provide social well-being and cause less damage to the environment. Therefore, this study analysed the predictors of purchase behaviour of sustainable smart houses and their impact on community happiness. Among the predictors which are part of this study include attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, cost, intention, and social media networks. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey from 187 Malaysian respondents, and SmartPLS was used for data analysis. Results revealed that purchase of sustainable smart houses does have an impact on community happiness. It establishes the extent to which community well-being has been prioritised by local property developers. In addition, it suggests strategies to help these developers to materialise the goals of smart and sustainable property development focusing on community well-being.

The paper aims to determine the effect of financial leverage on the performance of Vietnamese small and medium enterprises during the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the agency theory and pecking order theory, combined with the quantitative method, the financial leverage and COVID-19 are statistically significant factors affecting the performance of small and medium enterprises in Vietnam. Significantly, the author emphasizes that financial leverage has a positive effect on the performance during the pandemic. Furthermore, there is the existence of homoscedasticity and no-autocorrelation in the model when using feasible general least squares. It confirms that the model estimation is unbiased and reliable.

This study investigates the possibility of premature deindustrialization risk in Thailand, where the pressure of globalization and uneven industrial policies remain. This study adopts the latecomer index to materialize premature deindustrialization risk, which is expressed as the downward shift of the manufacturing–income relationship at the earlier level of income. The results of our empirical analysis confirm the presence of premature deindustrialization risk in Thailand’s regions as a result of globalization pressure (represented by China’s entry into the World Trade Organization) and uneven industrial policies conducted by the Thai government. Thus, the current industrial policies of the Thai government should be reconsidered to overcome premature deindustrialization risk in remote regions.

Growing internet technology has incurred variations in customer way of life and online shopping habits. Originating from the integrated framework of technology acceptance model and health belief model, the purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of determinants, such as perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, trust, social influence, perceived susceptibility, and perceived severity on customers' intentions of using online food delivery (OFD) services. By employing a total of 459 usable responses in Vietnam, the research hypotheses were empirically validated using structural equation modeling (SEM) approach. The results of this study exhibited that the constructs all have positive influences on the usage behavior of OFD services, while perceived ease of use is found to influence users' perceived usefulness. This study complements key insights into the literature on the acceptance of technology during the pandemic in general, the online food delivery technology in particular.

The study aimed to investigate (1) the influence of internal compensation gap on firm performance (FP) and (2) the mediation effect of executive compensation level on the relationship between internal compensation gap and FP of listed energy companies in China. The sample was sourced from all upstream companies in energy industry on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets. The data were collected from the companies' annual reports from 2015 to 2020. Descriptive analysis, correlation matrix, and unbalanced panel data analysis were used to analyze the data. The results show that internal compensation gap has a positive influence on FP and compensation level has a mediating effect on such influence. This study provides insight into the determination of compensation for companies to incentivize executives to demonstrate their abilities for the organization's advantage. Additionally, the findings demonstrate that tournament theory and agency theory can explain how compensation gap and level affect FP.

The paper aims to examine the impact of leverage structure dynamics on firm value in Bangladesh. To this end, the panel techniques (GMM and PCSE) were used to control for serial correlation, heteroskedasticity, and cross-sectional difficulties in the panel data set. The paper found that leverage structure influences firm value. The result also supports the trade-off theory, which asserts that tax savings on interest expenses result in a lower total cost of capital and ultimately upturn firm value. Lastly, the paper highlights the significance of endogenous variables such as liquidity, profitability, tangibility, and tax rate on firm value in Bangladesh.

A world where there are no time and space-bound eased business and commerce by extending the time of operation and eliminating the geographical boundary that led to a boost in worldwide trade. Here, the impressive performance of the South and Southeast Asia regarding e-commerce earns a special mention. At this context the present article considers 18 countries (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam) belonging to South and South-East Asia along with China for six years (2009-2014) and opts for a panel data analysis to determine the impact of digitalization on International Trade. The findings point to the fact that digitalization has a positive and statistically significant impact on trade volume.

Since the early 1990s, emerging East Asian countries have increasingly integrated with the global economy. Thailand is regarded as an exemplar of achieving remarkable economic growth owing to the outward-oriented industrialisation strategy. This study examines the effects of Thailand's outward-oriented industrialisation strategy, which comprises foreign direct investment inflows and trade openness on its economic growth. Further, the analysis sheds light on the absorption capacity of the economy by focusing on human capital development in particular. The empirical analysis, which applies the autoregressive distributed lag approach, reveals that, from 2000 to 2017, trade openness and human capital development contributed positively to Thailand's GDP growth in the long run, while FDI inflows contributed negatively.

Information technologies can give a business a strategic technology platform that supports electronic commerce and enterprise collaboration among the internetworked enterprise in today’s global dairy business environment. The research paper attempts to find out the relationship between the information and communication technology as one of the variables of supply chain management with organizational performance which are identified as financial and market performance. Multiple regression technique has been used for the analysis in order to find the predictor variables for various performance measuring variables. The findings suggest that of ICT play a crucial role in enhancing the performance of the dairy’s companies in the form of increase in performance matrix indicators.

This study aims to examine the effect of lean accounting implementation on organizational performance through the mediating effect of strategic decision-making and continuous improvement. Five hundred and five executives in the medical device manufacturing industry's organization were chosen as the sample, and the data were collected. The results of the structural equation model (SEM) of the analysis model's fit index of conceptual model are indicated by the index examining the absolute quality of fit measure. Additionally, the results of ordinary least squares (OLS) regression analysis and path coefficients and hypothesis testing show that lean accounting implementation plays a positive, significant role in determining and driving strategic decision-making and continuous improvement. Strategic decision-making and continuous improvement positively affect organizational performance. Therefore, firms with lean manufacturing must focus lean accounting to lead to information for decision making and revenue improvement and to increase the profit for firms.
