The Impact

The circle-type or global Malmquist index, which is based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models, is an important index that is widely used for measuring the relative productivity change of decision-making units (DMUs) in multiple time periods. This index, similar to the standard approach of measuring the productivity change using the standard Malmquist index, breaks down into various components, which can then be used to measure the impact of the efficiency, technology, and scale on productivity changes over time. However, empirical studies show that there are some rules and regulations that can affect the result of the productivity changes. Therefore, this paper presents new insight into the global Malmquist index for measuring the effect of the rules and regulations on productivity changes that come from imposing some trade-offs to the production possibility set of the problem, and provides a new decomposition of this index.

The Impact

Marketing expenditure plays a crucial role in determining performance since promotion mix generates market shares and revenues for the brands. But, nowadays, the impact of promotional expenditure is appeared to be non-responsive to influence the revenue and profitability as the consumers are now having ample scopes of escaping advertisement. Moreover consumers prefer the products that are associated with some social cause. Hence the purpose of this paper is to compare the impact of societal and marketing expenditure on profitability. To attain the purpose, we have employed empirical results of various Indian banks by developing a model using profit after tax (PAT), societal and marketing expenses. In particular, we have considered log-linear model as it fits better for all the banks when compared with the linear model. Further, we have compared the profit elasticity between societal and marketing expenses. Finally, association between the profit performance status and the comparative profit contribution at equal expenditure has been tested by employing non-parametric χ² test and Cramer’s V. Result proves the efficiency of ‘expenditure in social concern’ compared to ‘Expenditure in traditional marketing tools’ and hence it suggests for adopting alternative route, that is, societal means of promotion for better customer connect.

The Impact

Increasing global warming and intensity of disasters recently have made improving environmentally-conscious enterprises pivotal, as well as consumer demand for green products and the achievement of green strategies in some enterprises. This study explores the impact of environmental certificates and the cost of pollution abatement equipment on firm performance for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). In this research, the linear regression method examines the effect of environmental-related certificates and technology on SMEs’ performance using Stata version 14.0 software. The training dataset comprises 3504 manufacturing SMEs in Vietnam during 2011–2015. The results highlight the positively considerable impacts of environmental-related certificates and the cost of pollution abatement equipment on SMEs’ performance. More importantly, the findings also highlight the excessive availability of pollution abatement equipment and whether it adversely impacts enterprises’ performance. The equipment cost positively impacts firm performance while, at an extreme value, the result shows a negative correlation. Furthermore, this study enriches the current literature on corporate social responsibility (CSR) and suggests SMEs approach and embrace more environmental-related certificates and technology to increase productivity.
