Managing organizational change is one of the difficult tasks for every organization. Researchers and practitioners around the world indicated that due to the uncertainty and complexity associated with organizational change, an employee feels fear and cynicism to involve in the organizational change process which causes failure in the majority of the organizational change initiatives. Contemporary literature highlighted the effectiveness of employee championing behavior for managing organizational change successfully. Therefore, this study collected data from 379 employees working in Bangladesh’s banking sector to explore the different dynamics forces such as transformational leadership, trust in leadership, organizational alignment and work engagement to enhance employee championing behavior in the context of organizational change. The outcome of this study shows that all dynamic forces significantly affected the employee championing behavior during organizational change.

The neoclassical model of economics assumes that greater the information available, the easier it is for a consumer to make decisions. In the context of electricity usage, overwhelming amounts of information presented on energy bills and a lack of real-time information deter consumers from understanding their own energy usage and developing personalized strategies to reduce it. This study assesses the literacy levels regarding electricity bills amongst consumers in India. Regression results indicate that homes with stronger beliefs in energy conservation minimize their usage. The size of the dwelling,demographics, and the ownership of the dwelling influence literacy levels regarding electricity bills. The study had a counterintuitive finding, as the respondents were found reluctant to receive a normative comparison of their electricity bills—strange for a collectivistic cultured society like India. The study recommends making electricity bills more visually appealing and increasing their frequency to increase awareness of energy usage.

Corrugated paper industry is an indispensable industry and it has been developed for more than fifty years. Hence, it is important for a firm to find its core competence, study effective business strategies, and form a long-term competitive advantage. However, few researchers focus on the harmonizing between the operational problems and solutions from customers’ and suppliers’ angles. The purposes of this research are to analyze frequently encountered problems and to find appropriate solutions to upgrade production efficiency and business performance for the corrugated paper industry in Taiwan. This study mixes Quality Function Deployment and Analytic Hierarchy Process approach to find some operational problems and provide the solutions based on experts' experience. The findings are projected to deliver some significant contributions; academically, by professionally conducting further theoretical validation and by adopting suitable strategies to fit the needs of customers.

In this present work, Retail Service Quality Scale (RSQS) developed by Dabholkar et. al. (1996) has been used to measure service quality. For the purpose of examining the dimensionality of the scales a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed using AMOS 20. A four factor model was derived after the analysis. High correlations among these four factors led to the inclusion of the second order service quality construct. For measuring satisfaction scale items were adapted from Khan et. al. (2016). By using structural equation modeling approach, it is found that customers of cosmetics retail stores evaluate service quality on the basis of four dimensions- personal interactions, physical appearance, problem solving, and convenience. A statistically significant relationship between service quality and satisfaction is also reported. Findings and research approach of this study will be of immense use to the researchers and practitioners in cosmetic retailing category.

The aim of study is to research the influences of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF), Trade Openness of the Economy (OPEN) on Vietnam economic growth. This study uses the annual data for the period 1986 to 2019, obtained from World Bank and Vietnam General Statistics Office. The study shows that FDI, GFCF and OPEN together influence to Vietnam economic growth in the period 1986 – 2019 at significant level of 5%; in which the FDI and GFCF determinants have influenced greatly. In the short–run, the results indicate that there are bidirectional causality relationships running between FDI and GDP, OPEN and GDP, OPEN and GFCF, and there are undirectional causality relationships running from GDP to GFCF, from GFCF to FDI, from FDI to OPEN. The study’s results confirm that FDI as more reliable and less violate source of capital and can extend the Vietnam economic growth. According to the study’s results, the authors suggest some recommendations to increase the Vietnam economic growth.

This paper studies microfinance and debt trap nexus. We have used an ethnographic approach, unstructured observation and interviews, to develop scenarios with the help of which we try to explain the phenomenon. Our research was carried out in DipKalaMoral, a small village located in Shikalbaha union under Karnaphuli Upazila of Chittagong in Bangladesh. We have found that excessive leverage through multiple borrowing lead to debt trap when households face unexpected income shocks due to economic cycle, unexpected weather (like heavy monsoon), wedding expenditure or paying dowry, and unexpected healthcare expenditure. In addition to that, we have found that informal money lenders tend to exploit households when households are heavily leveraged. Interestingly, we have identified a new phenomenon, ‘borrowing for others’ when households borrow from Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs) to lend money to others. A number of policy measures have been recommended which could be beneficial for policy makers and MFIs.

Online marketing has been the most efficient and useful platform for reaching target markets and building customer relations. Despite its widespread use, the hospitality industry is at its forefront of identifying its most suitable online marketing strategies. This emphasis is crucial to strategic marketing and resource allocation decisions, which may impact the long-term performance of businesses. The need to address both perspectives of customers and businesses, along with the multiple online marketing strategies under the presence of multiple criteria, requires a rigorous analytical and comprehensive approach for evaluating the efficacy of these strategies for the hospitality industry. Thus, this work offers an integrated approach based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and the technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) as a decision-making platform for the problem domain. The AHP assigns the corresponding priority weights of the criteria associated with either customers' or businesses' perspectives, while the TOPSIS ranks the importance of the strategies. Results show that the credibility of an online marketing strategy is of the highest priority for the customers, while the businesses highly regard customer loyalty. With the AHP-TOPSIS approach, findings reveal that both perspectives prefer search engines for the hospitality industry. Illustrating the results via a priority tradeoff map of two perspectives, search engines, websites, and blogs are deemed the most viable online marketing strategies relevant to the industry. These findings offer dependable guidelines for the hospitality industry in positioning their online marketing efforts.

The present study investigated the effect of talent management practices on performance sustainability in the sports industry. The study used the deductive reasoning approach to predict new cricketer performance sustainability. The hypotheses were tested using partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) techniques. The self-administered structured questionnaires were used to collect data. The total sample size was 270, which were collected from respondents playing in Bangladesh Premier League, Domestic and International matches. The results revealed that onboarding and engagement, player development, performance management, and strategic teamwork planning positively influence performance sustainability. However, the findings suggested that policymakers and other concerned authorities should implement this result to sustain players' performance continuously. Meanwhile, this is the first paper that applies talent management practices to magnify performance sustainability.

According to WHO only 50% patients adhere to chronic therapy. The problem of non-adherence has persisted over decades. Over 197 million Indian households have TV sets and on an average Indian’s spend 3 hours, 44 minutes watching television. TV programme is used as intervention by patients to improve medication adherence rates. The objective of the research is to find the effect of TV programme as a form of reminder in improving medication adherence. With the help of a structured questionnaire the information about medication adherence behaviour was obtained from patients suffering from different types of diseases in the state of Sikkim, India. It has been found that when patients use TV programme as a form of reminder the odds of missing the medication consciously reduces by 45.9%. At a personal level the probability that a person will not miss the time of medication is 42.3% higher compared to when it is not used and if the total population is considered, 15.6% less people would not be missing the medication at all when the reminder is used.
