In seeking empirical evidence of E-business practices and its business implications, this study introduced and tested an interactive, comprehensive and multi-dimensional theoretical model in developing country settings. The model assessed the drivers of E-business usage by looking at technological, organizational, and environmental (TOE) factors and established a relationship between E-business usage and business performance by measuring business performance based on the three dimensions; impact on financial, impact on customers, and impact on internal business process. Samples were selected using stratified random sampling which yielded 160 valid questionnaires and the structural equation modelling method was used to evaluate the model. In assessing the drivers of E-business usage, technology competence, web functionalities, firm size, and pressure intensity were found to have significant influence on the extent of E-business usage. Also, E-business usage was found to have significant influence on business performance with positive relationship.

Social Media Strategy

Several studies on social media from a users' perspective have been conducted. However, less attention has been paid to the effect of social media on organization performance, particularly among hotels. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of social media on hotels' business performance as well as assessing the moderating effect of the hotel classification. In this study, a structural equation modelling method has been used for data analysis. The survey data was gathered from a sample of 146 hotels in Lebanon. Data analysis results demonstrate a positive and significant relationship between social media characteristics (visibility and association but not editability) on hotel business performance. The findings present valuable implications for hotel managers to direct their social media strategy and to capitalize on the possible benefits of social media to increase the business performance of hotels. In addition, the findings could also provide useful insights into other business sectors that have the intention to invest in social media.

While the unit of the research sample is three-star hotels in Java, Bali, and Lombok Island with amount 158 hotels and by achieved 107 questionaires of the sample unit (response rate 67.7%) are valid. The respondents are human resource managers, general managers, marketing managers, and financial managers. The data were analyzed by using stuctural equation modelling (SEM), and the AMOS Program which has 4.0 version.

Convenience Sampling

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of prestige sensitivity on mobile phone customer’s price acceptance in Vietnam and the mediating role of product knowledge and price mavenism on this relationship. We used the convenience sampling method for data collection via questionnaires with a sample of 605 consumers who purchased mobile phones. The collected data was analysed by applying a structural equation modelling method. The result indicates that prestige sensitivity has both direct and indirect effects on price acceptance via product knowledge and price mavenism. The findings suggest that prestige sensitivity can be used as a market segmentation criterion for mobile phones when making price decisions and providing customers with adequate information could improve price acceptance.

The Impact

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of market orientation (MO) and entrepreneurial orientation (EO) on business performance among small retailers. In particular, the goal is to understand and determine to what extent MO and EO influence firm performance directly, and to what extent MO and EO are connected to performance via marketing capabilities. Design/methodology/approach – The developed conceptual model is tested using structural equation modelling (SEM) using a sample of 202 small retailers. Findings – The result of the SEM model shows that both MO and EO act as a basis for improved business performance among small retailers. However, the performance impact of MO and EO is not that straightforward. Based on the research findings, it can be argued that both MO and EO require marketing capabilities to more fully unlock their value-creating potential among small retail firms. Originality/value – This study has provided new insights regarding the impact of MO and EO on business performance in the context of small retail firms. In particular, the study has contributed to the literature by demonstrating the routes through which MO and EO impact on performance.
