This study assesses the status of the current level of market orientation among the Government-Linked Companies (GLCs) in Malaysia. This study collected primary data based on a set of questionnaire survey among 134 executives and managers of GLCs in Malaysia. The data were collected based on opinions of the ten factors of market orientation practices by using the five-point Likert scale. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics. On an average, 86.6% of the respondents agreed that they focus on these factors of market orientation. The federal owned GLCs place more emphasis on market orientation than the state owned GLCs. This study suggests improving the practices of market orientation of GLCs in Malaysia by emphasizing on providing close attention to after-sales service, responding rapidly to the threats of competitive actions, regularly discussing the competitors’ strengths and strategies by top management, and freely communicating successful and unsuccessful customer experiences across all business functions. It is suggested that Malaysian GLCs should serious invest in market orientation to deliver higher accountability outcomes.

Microfinance in Rwanda is considered as one of the most crucial mechanisms in the implementation of the Government program to reduce poverty and to increase economic growth. However, despite the effort made by the Government of Rwanda to put in place microfinance institutions in rural areas, little is known about the effects of microfinance on smallholder farmers’ income in Nyamagabe District of Rwanda. This study aimed at examining the contribution of microfinance services to the income of smallholder farmers in Nyamagabe District. Primary data were collected from 240 respondents randomly selected in 3 sectors of Nyamagabe District using structured questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to describe the socio-economic characteristics of the respondents and Propensity Score Matching was used to assess the effect of microfinance on smallholder farmers’ livelihood. The results from descriptive statistics showing that 117 respondents were participants in microfinance services and 123 were nonparticipants and more men were committed to participate and to access microfinance services than women. Results from Propensity Score Matching Model using both Kernel Based Matching and Nearest Neighbor Matching showed that the households participating in microfinance services increased their total annual income by 256,674 Rwandan francs and 228,246 Rwandan francs more than non-participants, respectively. The study recommended that smallholder farmers should be encouraged to participate in microfinance services to increase their income and agricultural productivity. The use of SACCOs and microfinance services needs to be promoted in order to provide an instrument for mobilizing savings and extending credit.

ABSTRACT E-filing usage as a means of tax obligation fulfillment is a convenient service provided by the government, specifically the Directorate General of Taxes.  But in reality, e-filing usage is not considered optimal, especially at this time when most of the Y generation who can be said to be accustomed and able to use technology have become taxpayers. So, this research aims to analyze the perceptions of Y generation by comparing the perceptions of X generation to e-filing usage as a means of tax obligations fulfillment. This research uses primary data obtained directly from individual taxpayers in Salatiga city who use e-filing. The method of this research are descriptive statistics and Mann Whitney U test.  The research shows that there are differences perception between X and Y generations to e-filing usage as a means of tax obligations fulfillment. Where the most of Y generations is easier, shows their positive attitude and has no difficulty in using e-filing compared to X generations. But both generations show their satisfaction tend to be the same towards the use of e-filing as a means of tax obligation fulfillment. ABSTRAK Penggunaan e-filing sebagai sarana pemenuhan kewajiban perpajakan, merupakan bentuk fasilitas dan kemudahan yang diberikan Pemerintah dalam hal ini Direktorat Jendral Pajak. Namun pada kenyatannya penggunaan e-filing dinilai belum optimal, terlebih pada saat ini sebagian besar Generasi Y yang dapat dikatakan terbiasa dan mampu menggunakan teknologi sudah menjadi Wajib Pajak. Sehingga, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis persepsi generasi Y dengan membandingkan persepsi generasi X terhadap penggunaan e-fiing sebagai sarana pemenuhan kewajiban perpajakan. Penelitian ini menggunakan data primer yang diperoleh langsung dari Wajib Pajak orang pribadi di kota Salatiga yang menggunakan e-filing. Desain penelitian yang digunakan ialah statistik deskriptif dan uji beda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan persepsi antara generasi X dan Y terhadap penggunaan e-filing sebagai sarana pemenuhan kewajiban. Dimana sebagian besar generasi Y lebih mudah, menunjukkan sikap positif dan tidak mengalami kesulitan dalam menggunakan e-filing dibandingkan dengan generasi X. Namun baik generasi X dan Y menunjukkan kepuasan mereka yang cenderung sama terhadap penggunaan e-filing sebagai sarana pemenuhan kewajiban perpajakan. JEL Classification: M41, F38

Financial Burdens

Governments all over the world have been improving their educational sector through funding programs aimed at reducing the financial burden on parents, increasing access and quality to education. The government of Ghana in 2017 switched policy to a free senior high school policy to reduce poverty by finally eliminating the financial burdens parents face in paying their children’s fees. This study seeks to evaluate the appropriateness of the free senior high policy in replacing the pre-existing progressive free policy. The questionnaire survey was used to collect primary data for this study. The descriptive statistics were used in analyzing the data of this study. A total number of Two hundred (200) responses were retrieved, and out of those retrieved, 57 were females, and 143 were males. All 200 responses were usable in this study. The free senior high policy proved to put more butts on seats in helping to reduce financial burdens on parents than the pre-existing progressive free policy since nothing is paid by parents or guardians.
