This study aims to analyze the determinants of fixed asset revaluation decisions. This study uses data from financial reports and annual reports of manufacturing companies in the industrial sector on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for 2018-2022. The entire sample consists of 24 companies over five years (2018-2022). The analytical method in this study uses descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that only fixed asset intensity affects fixed asset revaluation, while the leverage and liquidity variables do not affect fixed asset revaluation.

Nowadays, parties generally prefer more efficient and cost-effective dispute resolution mechanisms in resolving commercial disputes. Thus, the shift from adversarial litigation to non-adversarial types of dispute resolution. The main objective of this article is to study the use of a dispute resolution clause in contracts in regulating the way of resolving commercial disputes. The specific objectives of this study are to identify the main content of a dispute resolution clause and to analyze the effects of invoking a dispute resolution clause at the pre-litigation and the initial litigation stages. This study is grounded in doctrinal legal research. The researcher obtained primary and secondary sources via the library and later analyzed them using critical and analytical approaches. This study mainly finds that efficient use of a well-drafted dispute resolution clause may produce intended results with time-saving and effort at the pre-litigation and early litigation stages. This study is significant for promoting non-adversarial dispute resolution mechanisms in resolving issues in commercial and non-commercial contracts via a dispute resolution clause and a multi-tiered dispute resolution clause.

The objective of this study is to examine the internal and external factors that contribute to the improvement of resilience and performance in social enterprises (SEs) operating in Malaysia, particularly in response to the unanticipated market conditions arising from the Covid-19 pandemic. Due to the unpredictable market conditions induced by the Covid-19 pandemic, this study aims to examine internal and external factors that can enhance the resilience and performance of social enterprises in Malaysia from the lens of Resource Dependence Theory and Resource-Based View Theory. This research is a quantitative-based study where an explanatory model was developed and statistically tested to analyse the data collected from an online survey conducted on 109 registered social enterprises in Malaysia. The statistical findings demonstrated that entrepreneurial orientation and network connections have a positive effect on the financial performance of social enterprises. Surprisingly, traditional business planning has a negative impact on financial performance during times of crisis. Moreover, this quantitative study affirms a notable association between fiscal performance and societal achievement, underscoring the pivotal importance of financial viability in fostering enduring social value. These observations provide valuable additions to the current body of knowledge on SEs and provide practical implications for individuals involved in the field, as well as policymakers and stakeholders.

University students are considered a high-risk demographic with financial instability due to a high propensity towards funds to pay for education. This study explored the effects of the theory of planned behaviour; Attitude (financial attitude), Subjective Norms (financial literacy), and Perceived Behavioural Control (financial knowledge and skills) on financial management behaviour among public university students. All data were collected via a convenient sampling method by using a questionnaire with a total of 363 respondents to examine the alternative hypothesis. The results obtained in this study indicated that Attitude (financial attitude), Subjective Norms (financial literacy), and Perceived Behavioural Control (financial knowledge and skills) positively and significantly influenced financial management behaviour among students. As such, this study could be a useful source of information for the creation of a financial management syllabus, especially in higher education.

This paper proposes a theoretical framework that synthesises two theories in explaining business sustainability initiatives. The relevant theories are stakeholder theory and institutional theory that are commonly employed in the corporate social responsibility and sustainability literature. The similarities and interrelatedness of these two theories are contended as complementing instead of competing. In fact, they are relevant to be linked to sustainability initiatives in explaining the motivation of such effort from the perspective of these theories. Moving forward, this framework can be employed as a theoretical foundation for empirical studies to obtain better prediction on the motives and reasons of sustainability initiatives from different contexts. Also, it will be employed to gauge the relevance of these theories in explaining the engagement of business in such initiatives.

For religious reasons, many low-income Muslim households may choose not to use conventional microfinance. This study seeks to identify the determinant factors of adoption of micro-takaful among the members of Islamic informal insurance arrangements. Very few studies examined the factors that affect micro-takaful adoption using the theory of perceived characteristics of innovation (PCI) and among the members of informal insurance arrangements in Africa. This study investigated several factors that affect the adoption of micro-takaful. Primary data was obtained from 654 informal insurance service users in different regions of Ethiopia. One of the key findings of this study revealed that social networking in the extant informal insurance system has a significant and positive influence on the intention to adopt micro-takaful. Besides, perceived compatibility, perceived results demonstrability, and perceived voluntariness were found to significantly impact adoption intention. Contrary to the existing literature, perceived relative advantage, perceived complexity and perceived cost were found to have no significant impact on the intention to adopt micro-takaful. The findings of this research will have theoretical and practical significance.
