Protracted Congo brand name’s inability to attract investors spells ruin. The research problem is that despite the potential role that can play Information Systems (IS) improvisation in service branding in developing countries, Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) of Congo-Brazzaville does not have a normative model for online business registration. Such insufficiency stunts Congo’s brand name as investment destination. The study purpose is to propose a normative model of online business registration for service branding.   The study was conducted at the DTI Congo-Brazzaville using a mixed methodology. Findings reveal that 75% of respondents were male and 25% female. This variable leads to a conclusion that in the absence of normative model, the intention to adopt an online business registration system for re-branding DTI Congo is largely based on male employees’ favourable attitudes towards e-commerce. 81.8% of respondents agreed that IS improvisation will close the gaps between the growing usage of e-commerce in the business world and the current total vacuum of it at DTI Congo. The major limitation is that the study does not recommend any specific e-commerce technology to DTI Congo, but as an institution, DTI Congo should evaluate the pros and cons of different e-commerce technologies, and then decide on the most appropriate one. In terms of originality, replacing brick-and-mortar business registration service by the online one at DTI Congo reflects a true contribution of this study to theories of brand personality, sustainability and green supply chain in a way far more impactful than recycling papers in the bin.

This research investigates the factors that potentially affect public attitudes and their adoption of renewable energy technologies for electrical energy production in Afghanistan. The study is carried out with a survey from Kabul and its neighboring provinces including Logar, Maidan Wardak, Nangarhar, Ghazni, Parwan & Kapisa provinces. We used a random sampling process to collect data using a web-based questionnaire. The survey was well designed to highlight conveniently the public understanding, willingness, and attitudes toward adopting renewable energy technologies (RETs). The outcome of the survey is then evaluated to discover the most potential factor affecting public acceptance of RETs. The results declared that the educational level, expertise in RETs, and income of respondents are positively related, while the age of respondents is negatively related to the public willingness on the use and investment in RETs. The majority of respondents have used one type of RETs, however, 23 % of respondents have not used any type of RETs. Study shows that the RETs use and access to grid electricity are reversely related, where the access is lower, the RETs use is higher and vice versa. Most of the respondents were not well informed and most disagreed with the government policies on RETs, therefore, public awareness programs on RETs and government policies are recommended. The majority of respondents were willing to invest in RETs, therefore, the government should commit itself and support private sectors to invest in RETs and take part in its development.

The digitalization of public procurement is a popular topic of discussion in both the scientific and business world. Currently, government procurement of goods and services in Russia does not use the full potential of digital technologies and is at the stage of electronization and automation. Technologies such as big data analytics, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, and additive manufacturing are not yet widely used. This article examines this problem from two sides. First, the existing and promising digital technologies of public procurement are studied, their classification is given by complexity, level of application and functions. The directions for the development of digital technologies are discussed using examples in Russian and foreign practice. Secondly, attention is also paid to the problem of organizations' readiness for digital transformation in technological and organizational aspects, taking into account the influence of environmental factors.

Real estate marketing has changed fundamentally over the past twenty years, mainly due to digital technologies. Due to the availability of online platforms as intermediary websites, the complexity of interaction relationships between providers, demanders, and real estate agents has increased. The study takes the perspective of real estate agents and uses the example market of Cologne/Bergisch-Gladbach to show what new potential digital channels offer for the reach and intensity of real estate marketing. Real estate agencies are challenged to evolve technologically, but then have a wider inventory of marketing channels and presentation options at their disposal. In the future, social media and video streaming platforms could further revolutionize property marketing, offering further potential to proactive providers, especially in terms of property branding and international sales.

Companies require information about customers to understand them, know their preferences, and develop relationships with them. Companies employ a number of direct and digital marketing channels to collect information and intelligence about customers. Marketers adopt a number of unfair practices for collecting information through direct and digital marketing and this raises concerns about consumer privacy. The article discusses the various aspects of consumer privacy and the need for protecting consumer privacy. The article further focuses on the various regulations enforced by regulatory bodies and governments of countries to protect customers. Various initiatives taken by companies to protect customers are discussed. Direct and digital marketing channels allow companies to collect information and intelligence about customers and to influence them. However, companies should be sensitive to customer concerns. This will help companies in building long-term customer relationships.
