This study aims to examine the factors affecting the adoption of Islamic retail banking (IRB) products and services among the banking customers of Malaysia. The market share of Islamic retail banking remains low despite being in operation for the past 28 years. Therefore, an empirical analysis was conducted to study the usage of Islamic retail banking products and services between the urban and rural banking customers of Malaysia. Comparisons were also made on the usage of Islamic deposits and financing schemes between the Muslim and non-Muslim customers. The findings of the study revealed, relative advantage, promotional efforts, complexity, compatibility and awareness on attributes of Islamic retail banking as the significant determinants of the usage of Islamic retail banking products and services. Thus, the findings of this study serves as a valuable guideline to the banking sector and policy makers to devise appropriate marketing strategies to promote Islamic retail banking products and services aggressively among the banking customers of Malaysia.

This paper provides an empirical analysis of factors affecting Bank Interest Margins in eight countries of the South‑East European (SEE) region between 2000 and 2014. The purpose of this paper is to examine and investigate the main drivers of Bank Interest Rate Margins across selected countries throughout the SEE region. Also, the study explored the relationship between the dependent variable Interest Rate Spread (IRS – as a proxy variable for measuring variation in Bank Interest Rate Margins) and a set of selected banks’ specific variables in SEE by employing panel data estimation methodology. This research is based on aggregate data for the whole banking sector of each country. In line with some expectations, our findings confirm the importance of credit risk, bank concentration operative efficiency, and inflation expectations in determining Bank Interest Rate Margins. Interestingly, in contrast to the majority of recent empirical research, the study found an inverse relationship between the bank concentration variable and Bank Interest Rate Margins as well as between the operational efficiency variable and Bank Interest Rate Margins. Also, the study could not find statistically significant evidence that Bank Interest Rate Margins are determined by output growth, bank profitability (measured by ROA) or liquidity risk.

This study investigates the factors that affect consumers' intentions to adopt mobile marketing and compare these factors between the USA and Jordan in the light of Hofstede's cultural dimensions. The collected data (n=250) were subject to statistical analysis including exploratory factor analysis, multiple regression, and Mann Whitney U test. The results showed that trust, observability and subjective norm, and relative advantage are the main factors affecting consumers' intentions to adopt mobile marketing, and trust had the strongest effect among the factors. Complexity had a positive significant effect only on Americans' intentions to adopt mobile marketing. The intention to adopt mobile marketing was higher in Jordan than that of the USA. The findings of this study provided several theoretical and practical implications and shed light on some factors that marketers may consider in developing their mobile marketing strategies. The study revealed that culture plays a significant role in peoples' technology adoption intentions.

Over the past 8 years, social impact bonds (SIBs) have attracted increasing attention from scholars, policy makers, and investors. Notwithstanding good intentions and policy makers’ enthusiasm, SIBs have failed to attract significant private capital. Considering the SIBs issued worldwide until December 2017, we look for the critical success factors of SIB funding by investigating both the financial and contractual characteristics of SIB contracts. We find that institutional investors are more likely to participate in an SIB funding when there are fewer agency problems.

The main objective of this study is to examine the relationship between government ownership and bank performance in Jordan. The banking sector has been widely ignored in the past corporate governance studies due to its strict system. Using a panel data from 2004 to 2013 (147 observations/years), the multiple regression analysis shows that increasing the percentage of shareholdings leads to higher profitability. Additional government-linked banks (GLBs) generally outperform their unlinked counterparts. However, their outperformance is contingent to the significance percentage of the shareholdings. On other words, if the government shareholdings are not significant (less than 10%) the government ownership does not make a significant difference in the performance. Using panel data provide us with a significant roles played by the period of the study. The banks show increasing in their performance through the period of this study. However, the size and the age of the banks are found to be insignificant while the leveraged banks significantly underperform their counterparts. The results of this study might be of interest of potential investors, policy makers, governance agencies and information users.

The financial sector plays an important role in economic growth, and the banking sector as a part of the financial sector facilitates the economic activities in the capacity of an intermediary between lender and borrowers. That is why the researchers as well as the policy-makers have been concerned with the issue of banking sector efficiency. The banks transform their various inputs into multiple financial products, and the efficient way the banking sector transform these input into financial products may followed by macroeconomic stability [Ngalande (2003)]. It has also important role in effective execution of monetary policy [Hartman (2004)], furthermore, efficient allocation by banks play a central role in economic growth [Galbis (1977)]. There is a strong empirical support for positive link between financial intermediation and economic growth. A wide acceptance of this link also exists and financial development used as a determinant in growth model over the past several decades [Gurley and Shaw (1955) and Goldsmith (1969)]. The positive relationship could be either through factor accumulation or through increase in efficiency [Collins (2002)]. It is the efficiency which is more important because mere factor accumulation could not stimulate economic growth [Slutz (2001)]. The efficient financial intermediation mechanism allocates the credit to more productive sectors in optimal way. In addition, this efficient financial intermediation mechanism also promotes innovations, because of high return on investment, with positive implications for economic growth [Luccheti (2000)].
