This study examines the relationships among perceived risk, trust, and intention to use mobile banking. The research model is confirmed based on data collected from the customers of one of Vietnam's largest joint stock commercial banks. The results of statistical analysis show that the research model explains 60.2% of the variability of intention to use mobile banking. The results also show that perceived risk includes components such as financial risk, social risk, time risk, privacy risk, security risk, and performance risk. Furthermore, perceived risk is negatively related to trust and intention to use mobile banking, and trust has a positive relationship with intention to use mobile banking. Implications are drawn and useful for improving intention to use mobile banking.

This paper examines the relationship between financial leverage and performance of listed firms in an emerging market, Ghana. Specifically, we examine the link between short-term, long-term and total debts on performance. We use data of 190 firm-year observations from 19 listed firms over a period of ten years (2005-2014). Fixed and random effects regression models are used to examine the financial leverage-corporate performance nexus. The result shows that total debt to total assets is negatively related to accounting and market performance. Short-term debt to total assets is also negatively related to return on assets and Tobin's Q but not return on equity. The long-term debt to total assets is negative and insignificantly related to corporate performance. Our contribution is that; short-term debt diminishes shareholder value in the developing economy context.

With the rapid diffusion of smartphone use, mobile shopping (m-shopping) has become one of the most common ways to buy and sell products and services through the wireless internet based on mobile devices. Given the importance of long-term use intentions, this paper provides an empirical analysis of factors influencing continued use intentions toward m-shopping. Six m-shopping characteristics were derived from a literature review from three perspectives, and a research model was developed based on the expectation-confirmation model by incorporating trust in conjunction with motivators of anticipation into the original framework. In addition, the moderating effect of m-shopping diffusion was examined to shed some light on the research domain. The results indicate that all m-shopping characteristics except for ubiquity had considerable influence on trust and confirmation and verify differences between early and late adopters of m-shopping.

The study examines the direction of causality between total factor productivity and economic growth in Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey from 1960 to 2017. Data on total factor productivity and real gross domestic product are gathered from the Penn World Table, Version 9.1 as proposed by Feenstra et al. (2015). The study employs the Granger causality test to analyse the collected data. The results show that there is a unidirectional causality that runs from productivity growth to economic growth in Nigeria and from economic growth to productivity growth in Mexico and Indonesia. Contrarily, there is no evidence of causality running either way between economic growth and productivity growth in Turkey.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the phenomenon of corporate branding in an emerging business market and unearth issues specific to the research setting. Phenomenology serves the purpose. Data stem from in-depth interviews of 20 managers representing various sectors of the economy. Data so obtained is analysed to elicit themes that characterise the phenomenon. Elicited themes highlight the role played by corporate brands in managing multi-stakeholder relationships, tender-driven procurement, and the process of internationalisation, typical to the study context. This study advances research by highlighting the effects of a collectivist culture on managing relationships across multiple stakeholders of the brand. It also emphasises that the emotional aspects of branding are not just critical to consumer markets but also to business markets. It further suggests that corporate branding gives credibility to organisations from emerging markets enabling them to garner the support necessary for entering international markets.
