This paper investigates the critical determinants for the adoption of mobile commerce (m-commerce) in Vietnamese small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from the perspective of managers. A perception-based conceptual model is developed with respect to the technology-organization-environment framework. The conceptual model is then tested and validated using structural equation modelling on the data collected from 513 SMEs in Vietnam. The study shows that perceived benefits, perceived compatibility, perceived security, perceived organizational readiness, and perceived customer pressures are critical for the adoption of m-commerce. As the first study on the critical determinants for m-commerce adoption in Vietnam, these findings are useful for SME managers as well as policymakers in designing policies as strategies to promote the wide development and diffusion of m-commerce in SMEs in Vietnam and other developing countries.

The global Muslim tourists' expenditure on gastronomy products is on the rise. However, to date few studies were conducted to empirically determine the behaviour of the Muslim tourists' especially from the Middle East countries towards Malaysian gastronomy. Therefore, the key purpose of the present study was to empirically determine the Middle East tourists' behaviour towards their dining experience in Malaysia by employing the basis of means-end model approach. The proposed conceptual model of this study was tested using structural equation modelling analysis. The findings revealed that gastronomy attributes, dining quality and overall satisfaction of dining experience were significant positive predictors of the Middle East tourists' behavioural intention. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed and this paper ends with some suggestions for future research.

The purpose of this paper is to examine whether 1) E-WOM and subjective norm can predict purchase intention 2) E-WOM and subjective norm can predict brand attitude 3) brand attitude can predict purchase intention 4) brand attitude mediates the prediction E-WOM and subjective norm on purchase intention. The conceptual model and the analysis of related hypotheses were based on a convenience sampling of one of bubble tea brand’s consumers based in Jakarta. The data were collected using quetionnaire. In total, 153 participants responded to the survey. Structural equation modelling (SEM), specifically partial least square (PLS) was employed to analyze the data. The results indicate that E-WOM and subjective norm are positive and significant predictors towards brand attitude. E-WOM and brand attitude are positive and significant predictors towards purchase intention. brand attitude is positive and significant mediate E-WOM and subjective norm towards purchase intention. While subjective norm is negative and significant predictors towards purchase intention. Theoretical and practical contributions are discussed. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menguji apakah 1) E-WOM dan subjective norm dapat memprediksi purchase intention 2) E-WOM dan subjective norm dapat memprediksi brand attitude 3) brand attitude dapat memprediksi purchase intention 4) brand attitude dapat memediasi prediksi E-WOM dan subjective norm terhadap purchase intention. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode convenience sampling terhadap konsumen salah satu merek minuman boba yang berdomisili di Jakarta. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner dan data yang terkumpul sebanyak 153 responden. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu menggunakan structural equation modelling (SEM), tepatnya yaitu partial least square (PLS). Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa EWOM dan subjective norm memprediksi secara positif dan signifikan terhadap brand attitude. E-WOM dan brand attitude memprediksi secara positif dan signifikan terhadap purchase intention. brand attitude memediasi prediksi E-WOM dan subjective norm terhadap purchase intention secara positif dan signifikan, sedangkan subjective norm memprediksi secara signifikan dan negatif terhadap purchase intention. Kontribusi teoritikal dan praktikal juga dibahas dalam penelitian ini.

Tujuan pokok penelitian ini adalah untuk memperoleh bukti empirik mengenai pembentukan organisasi cerdas pada lembaga pendidikan tinggi. Paradigma baru organisasi adalah keharusan untuk menyesuaikan dengan lingkungan sehingga memerlukan perubahan melalui kepemimpinan dan demokratisasi. Lebih jauh, kita ingin melihat bagaimana pengaruh organisasi cerdas terhadap sikap profesional dosen.Penelitian ini dilaksanakan dengan menggunakan metode survei penjelasan pada Perguruan Tinggi Swasta di D KI Jakarta. Data yang dikumpulkan terdiri dari data sekunder yaitu melalui penyebaran kuesioner. Teknik Analisis data menggunakan  Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) dengan pendekatan Path Analysis (Analisis Jalur).Berdasarkan analisis dan pembahasan hasil penelitian ini, maka dapat disimpulkan beberapa hal sebagai berikut: (1) Tanggung jawab pimpinan memiliki pengaruh yang sangat signifikan terhadap organisasi cerdas, (2) Iklim demokrasi memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap organisasi cerdas, (3) Tanggung jawab pimpinan tidak memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap Iklim demokrasi, dan (4) Organisasi cerdas memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap sikap profesional.
