This research intends to present empirical evidence on the impact of globalization on the banking sector's performance and the standard of living in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The present study accounts for the several characteristics of globalization. The authors have utilized data of commercial banks in the Gulf Countries (GC) from 1996 and 2017. The return on assets and equity are used to assess the performance of the banks by using the technique of Generalized Method of Moments. It is found that bank profitability is negatively impacted by greater economic, social, and political globalization. However, globalization has a positive impact on GDP per capita in GCC nations, indicating that globalization is beneficial from a living standard point of view. The current research has used population and government effectiveness as control variables, and the findings show that growing population benefits bank’s returns while government effectiveness has no influence on banking performance.

Urban rail transit is a widely applied mean of transportation in many cities around the world. In China, numerous cities are constructing their metro lines to improve the capability of its transportation and infrastructure. But because the investment needed in such project is colossal, the State Council in Beijing once criticized this type of investment for being wasteful and detaching from the actual demand of economic growth. Consequently, doubts on economic effects brought by metro system are also posed relentlessly. This research will try to look into the relation between the growing length of metro system and the economic growth in metropolis, finding out whether it is positive or negative and by what margin. And give out suggestions to city planners and policymakers on whether further construction of metro in mentioned cities should be carried out or approved. An econometric model that is based on the traditional Cobb-Douglas model and statistical methods including linear regression will be applied.

Using the intellectual capital and dynamic capability literature as known dimensions of organizational performance in digital contexts, this article develops a new testable model that attempts to explain digital intellectual dynamics’ (DID) impact on a Brazilian e-commerce firm’s performance. Using a quantitative methodological approach, an inedited instrument of research is used to gather data from 77 managers, and, through exploratory factor analysis (EFA), a replicability analysis (generalized H (G-H) index) is conducted along with quality and effectiveness assessment through factor score validation in Factor 10 software. Structure Equation Modelling (SEM) is used to test the hypotheses. The results reveal that DID, as a second-order variable, and Digital Human Dynamics and Digital Social Dynamics, as first-order variables, are positively related to firm performance. Digital Structure Dynamics, another first-order variable, has a positive effect on firm performance but not at a statistically significant level. This empirical result brings visibility to the role of DID in firms’ performance, creating a strategic perspective for a firm’s management in digital contexts. Furthermore, digital information systems (DIS) researchers may view these results as a response to digital disruption and a reinvention of core functions in a new strategic approach to support e-commerce transactions and firm performance. On a methodological level, the use of EFA introduces new indexes to measure this innovative instrument, as it is the first time it is used in social science research. Practitioners may use these results to enhance their firm’s performance through DID.

As an important component of economic, social, and industrial development, changes in the labor force affect a country’s economic development in terms of fiscal expenditure, consumption structure, and production capacity, which also promote or inhibit the upgrading of the overall industrial structure and internal structure. Based on the inter-provincial panel data of 30 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities (excluding the Tibet Autonomous Region) in mainland China from 2010 to 2019, this paper conducts an empirical analysis of the impact of population agglomeration on the upgrading of the industrial structure and the contribution rate of tertiary industry output value in different regions. We conclude: (1) Generally speaking, population agglomeration has the effect of promoting the upgrading of the industrial structure. (2) The impact of population agglomeration on the industrial structure is different in different regions, hindering the upgrading of the industrial structure in eastern provinces, having no significant impact on the western region, and encouraging the upgrading of the industrial structure of central provinces. (3) Concerning the tertiary industry, population agglomeration significantly promotes the contribution rate of the tertiary industry output value in different regions. Therefore, the following suggestions are put forward: (1) Promote the reform of the household registration system. (2) Increase investment in human capital.

The bank-client relationship is grounded on reciprocity rather than commitment. This circumstance generates the banker’s paradox as customers who need the money the most are at risk for credit and cannot obtain a loan. We present survey evidence that a bank marketing strategy pretending a commitment is more successful because clients are evolutionarily adapted to understand the superiority of commitment and be receptive to its cues.

This paper aims to analyze the influence of laptop brand image on the purchasing intention of Chinese college students, and it further looks at the moderating role played by consumer ethnocentrism in the above causality, which helps to bridge the research gap in the domain. Employing the brand image theory and consumer ethnocentrism theory, and based on large-sample questionnaire surveys, this study reveals that brand image positively affects college students' purchasing intention of laptops, regardless of domestic or foreign laptop brands. What is more, besides playing a direct role in affecting purchasing intention, consumer ethnocentrism also plays a significant moderating role in affecting the effects of brand image on purchasing intention. It is found that high ethnocentric college students may not buy foreign laptops, even though the brand image of foreign laptops is superior. Overall, this paper has made important suggestions and implications for both corporate managers and policy makers.

Relational Capabilities (RC) appear are valuable capabilities not only for performance but also to generate profitability. In this vein, this study performed a meta-analytic investigation of RC dimensions influencing firm financial performance. It also examined the role of mediating and moderating effects of knowledge management and partners integration influencing this association. From a meta-analytic procedure, 54 empirical studies were examined through random- effects model of Pearson’s correlations as the effect size and a meta-analytical regression analysis (MARA) to examined moderation effects and meta-analytical structure equation modeling (MASEM) to examined mediation effects. Our findings confirm that firm financial performance is impacted directly and positively by RC itself excepting by the intrafirm relational capacity dimension. We also find that knowledge management and partner integration do not mediate positively the effect RC on firm financial performance. Further, RC dimensions effects on firm financial performance vary positively and negatively across partner integration and knowledge management moderation effects.

The aim of this paper was to investigate the link between fear of Covid-19 and individuals’ behavi oral intentions toward adopting e-health services by expanding the technology acceptance model (TAM) to incorporate fear of the Covid-19 factor. To empirically testing our proposed theoretical model, we conducted a research survey in Pakistan and collected data from 624 individuals utilizing a non-probability convenience sampling strategy. The outcomes of our study declare that fear of Covid19 are positively associated with individuals’ attitude and their subsequent behavioral intentions towards adopting e-health services. Perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of e-health services mediated the relationship between fear of Covid-19 and individuals’ attitude towards adopting e -health services. This research is highly significant in the current scenario of Covid-19. Our study offers a theoretical model to understand why and how fear of Covid- 19 is related to an individual’s intentions for adopting e-health services. Moreover, this study also extends the literature of the technology acceptance model TAM by pinpoint the impact of fear of Covid-19.
