In the prevalent VUCA (volatile-uncertain-complex-ambiguous) environment, the readiness for change has become an antidote to survive and thrive. Drawing on change readiness theory, the present study investigates the hypothesised framework, which elucidates whether and how intentional behaviour influences the readiness for change through planfulness and learning through experimentation as mediators in series. Data has been collected from 271 employees working in the manufacturing and I.T. service industries in North India. Structural equation modeling results indicated that intentional behaviour is positively related to readiness for change; furthermore, planfulness and learning through experimentation partially mediated the relationship. The findings highlight important implications for researchers, and management practitioners in developing a proactive mindset, planfulness ability, and fostering a learning culture among employees to enhance their change readiness for successful change initiatives and technology adoption.

How do satisfaction and loyalty drive Indian consumers' continued use of mobile financial applications? Do age, education, and income moderate these relationships? An analysis of 1,060 Indian participants revealed that consumer satisfaction and loyalty were correlated with continuance intention. Satisfaction seemed to be a more emotional factor for the continuance of mobile wallet use, while loyalty was more cognitive behavior. Income and education showed opposite and significant moderating effects on the main driving factors. In general, the research findings can provide a deeper understanding of the continued use of mobile financial applications.

This study examines the spread of politically related information on Twitter, following the immediate wake of the 2014 Thai coup. The role and use of Twitter cannot be underestimated as it plays a significant and growing impact in conflicts and crises. In specific, this study assessed the use of Twitter in a country like Thailand, where political coups often occur. Furthermore, the incorporation of two perspectives—rumor theory and elaboration likelihood model (ELM)—add value in the assessment of political information dissemination during political turmoil. The study applied both content analysis and survey with rigorous analyses that had tremendous contributions in the course of 2014 Thai coup by understanding the way people behave and use Twitter to spread rumors. Overall, this study sheds vital insights into the ways in which political dissemination is crucial and for people to understand and interpret political coup events.

The purpose of the paper is to examine the influence of the mediating role of consumption-oriented social networking site (SNS) usage on fear of missing out (FOMO) and social comparison. This descriptive study was conducted amongst a sample of 737 SNS users in India. Structural equation modeling was done to test the hypotheses. Analysis revealed that FOMO enhanced consumption-oriented SNS usage and social comparison orientation. Results also showed that consumption-oriented SNS usage partially mediates the relationship between FOMO and social comparison orientation. This study is pioneering in conceptualizing and testing a theoretical model linking fear of missing out, consumption-oriented SNS usage, and social comparison. In the context of social networking sites users between the age group of 18 to 45 years, implications concerning fear of missing out and social comparisons which are triggered in the presence of consumption-oriented SNS usage is elaborated, thus striving to fill the gap within the existing literature.

In this paper, the multi-period EOQ model is developed for the technology products that have multiple generations co-existing in the market, with each of them having a very short product life cycle. The paper first develops the framework for computation of inventory-related costs and then minimizes the total replenishment costs using random search technique and approximating the non-linear expressions while using Simpson’s Rule for integration. The paper also provides numerical illustrations and establishes a few important theorems that relate the EOQ to the innovation of diffusions. It is found that the total replenishment cost curve, drawn on the EOQ axis in the case of technology generations is convex to the origin. Since the objective function is highly non-linear, the genetic algorithm has been used to find the solution to the problem. The study also suggests that the faster diffusion of the next generations has a conflicting effect on the EOQ of the first generation in the case of pooled and non-pooled logistics.

This study conducts a questionnaire survey on cell phone online we can see the motivation of buyers who purchase phone online. And this study looks insight into the impact of conformity motive driven by the different personal characteristics upon the conformity behavior through online auctions. What makes internet worth discussing is the anonymity of online users .And the purposes of the study attempt conformity pattern of online decision making as well as personality influence and to discuss the factors and motivations influencing conformity, and to provide suggestions that help online marketers exploit the power of crowds to promote online sales. The result shows that persons with high Neuroticism, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness scores love to follow other people’s step and are easily affected by ratings on online auction. Nevertheless, persons with high Extroversion, Openness scores are less susceptible to online conformity and always make decision for their own needs. One may deeply see that personalities play important roles on behavior pattern upon online decision making.

This study aims to identify the factors that determine the intention to adopt cloud ERP by Tunisian small, medium, and micro-enterprises (SMEs). Based on previous studies on cloud computing and cloud ERP, a research model was developed. A questionnaire survey was administrated online with two samples of adopters and non-adopters of traditional ERP during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Tunisia. Collected data were analyzed through PLS-SEM techniques. Findings suggest that both compatibility and technological readiness are favoring the cloud ERP adoption by SMEs adopters of traditional ERP, whereas compatibility and managers' support are driving its adoption by SMEs, non-adopters of these systems. Relative advantage, complexity, data security and confidentiality, financial readiness, regulatory support, and competitive pressure are insignificant factors for the two samples. This research contributes to fill some of the highlighted theoretical gaps in the field and may help managers and ICT staff in SMEs, cloud ERP providers, and policy makers to make more informed decisions.

The purpose of this study was to review the latest literature on self-concept and to explore its effect on teachers' perceived ease of information and communication technology (ICT) use. It reports descriptive survey results within the ex-post facto research design conducted among randomly selected 300 teachers of 50 Indian secondary schools. Regression was the main statistical measure used for assessing the percentage of the variance in the dependent variable that the independent variable explains. Findings revealed that teachers' ICT-related self-concept has been a significant predictor of their perceived ease of use (R=.88, R2=.77). For every one standard unit increase of self-concept, the perceived ease of use will be increased by .88 standard units. Based on these findings, the authors proposed a pertinent extension of the TAM3 viewing the complexities of today's e-adoption. The discourse ends with an anticipated counseling framework to fortify teachers' self-concept as an approach to boost their ICT use.

Organisational agility is becoming increasingly important in establishing long-term competitive advantage. Organisational agility has recently gained prominence as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The main issue with organisational agility is determining how to make employees more agile. In this research paper, the researcher emphasised two essential dominants for organisational agility: agile competencies and agile talent management practices. For this, 50 employees from various organisations and institutes in Vadodara were surveyed using questionnaires. PLS 3.3.2 was utilised to analyse the proposed model using partial least squares structural equation modelling. This research paper advances agility research by emphasising the positive association between agile talent management practices and organisational agility. This study also contributes to human resource management by underlining the inherent linkages to HRM and the lineage of a competence-based organization agility model.
