  • Destination marketing organizations (DMOs) utilize the official website for marketing and promotional purposes, while tourists often navigate through the official website to gather necessary information for their upcoming trips. With the advancement of business analytics, DMOs may need to exploit the clickstream data generated through their official website to develop more suitable and persuasive strategic marketing and promotional activities. As such, the primary objective of the current study is to show whether clickstream data can successfully identify the trip purposes of a particular user. Using a latent class analysis and multinomial logistic regression, this study found the meaningful and statistically significant variations in webpage visits among different trip purpose groups (e.g., weekend getaways, day-trippers, and other purposes). The findings of this study would provide a foundation for more data-centric destination marketing and management practice.

  • Although corporate social responsibility (CSR) is an extensively studied topic, its determinants in the field of Islamic banking are scarce. In Bangladesh, CSR plays a vital role in gaining customer loyalty and confidence. Therefore, this research aims to identify and analyze the influence of the Shariah Supervisory Board (SSB) and the Shariah Audit Committee (SAC) on CSR adoption in Islamic banks in Bangladesh. The study population is managers and second managers of 160 Islamic bank branches of different commercial banks in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The sampling technique used is convenience sampling where the first available primary data source was used for the research without additional requirements. The study developed a survey questionnaire from examining previous related studies in Islamic banking and CSR context. The final sample size in this research was n = 309, indicating the survey response rate was about 97%. The study used SPSS 23.0 software to interpret the statistical findings, and the findings revealed that support from the SSB and the presence of a strong and effective SAC has a strong correlation with CSR adoption and significantly influence CSR adoption in Islamic banks in Bangladesh. Finally, the study proposes several significant and crucial policy guidelines for Islamic bank branches to adopt CSR activities.

  • This study identifies the determinants of potential failure of Islamic Peer-to-Peer (P2P) lending in Indonesia, and the mediating effect of Islamic ethics on reducing the potential for failure of Islamic P2P lending. This study uses primary data retrieved through questionnaires from the perspective of 152 stakeholders in Islamic P2P lending. Using a structural equation model (SEM), the study found that indebtedness, financing size, and governance have positive and significant relationships with the potential failure of Islamic P2P lending. This study provides evidence that the customer's internal conditions and the governance structure applied can increase the potential failure of Islamic P2P lending. Further, Islamic ethics is evidently able to partially reduce the potential failure of Islamic P2P lending by lessening risk management exposure, but it fails to address failure through Ponzi scheme exposure. As an implication, this study suggest that Islamic P2P lending must implement Islamic ethics more comprehensively by optimizing the advisory and supervisory role of the shariah board within their overall boards of directors also in their operational activities. Finally, it also adds to the existing knowledge on financial technology literature, particularly on the determinants of potential failure of financial technology from the perspective of stakeholders.

  • 본 연구는 BSC의 성공적 구축과 활용에 있어 최근 변화하는 경영환경에 적절하게 대응하고, 기업의 경영활동에서 비재무적 요소가 차지하는 중요성을 감안하여 무형적 자원의 대표적 요소인 R&D 지출과 관련하여 BSC의 KPI를 개발하고, 개발된 지표의 효용성을 실증분석을 통해 검정하고자 하였다. 본 연구를 통해 BSC의 KPI로써 개발된 PEI(Patent Efficiency Index)는 R&D 지출과 R&D의 output 개념인 특허와의 상관성을 고려하여 특허의 효율성 측면에서 만들어 졌으며, 기존의 R&D관련 KPI가 가진 문제점을 해결하고, R&D 성과측정에 관한 새로운 KPI개발을 시도하였다는 점에서 연구적 의의가 있다고 하겠다. 또한 지표의 효용성에 대한 실증분석 결과, 논문의 관심변수인 PEI는 종속변수인 기업경영성과의 대용치로 나타내어진 ROA(총자산이익률)과 토빈Q에 각각 유의한 양의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 그동안 기존 연구들에서 많은 관심을 가져왔던 R&D 지출보다 R&D의 성과측정지표로서의 설명력이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이상 결과를 통해 개발된 PEI는 기존의 R&D 지출이 기업성과에 미치는 영향을 설명하는데 있어 설명하지 못하는 추가적인 설명력을 가진다고 할 수 있다. 나아가 이 지표를 통해 기업이 얼마나 효율적인 R&D 활동을 하고 있는지 알 수 있으며, 이는 기업의 R&D 활동의 효율성이 높을 때 기업의 가치나 성과가 높아진다는 것을 시사한다. 본 연구는 기업의 R&D 지출과 기업경영성과 간의 관련성을 특허와 R&D 지출의 효율적인 측면을 측정한 PEI를 통하여 직접적으로 입증함으로써 기존의 R&D 비용 외에 기업의 기업경영성과를 가늠하고 판단할 수 있는 중요한 지표로 쓰일 수 있다는 것을 규명할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • In this research, a cohort of two children, aged 7-8 years, was selected to participate in a specialized three-week training program aimed at enhancing their working memory. The program consisted of three sessions, each lasting approximately 30 minutes. The primary goal was to investigate the impact and developmental trajectory of working memory in school-aged children. Working memory plays a significant role in young children's learning and daily activities. To address the needs of this demographic, products should offer both educational and enjoyable activities that engage working memory. Digital educational tools, known for their flexibility, are suitable for both older individuals and young children. By updating software or modifying content, these tools can be effectively repurposed for young learners without extensive hardware changes, making them both cost-effective and practical. For example, memory training games initially designed for older adults can be adapted for young children by altering images, music, or storylines. Furthermore, incorporating elements familiar to children, like animals, toys, or fairy tales, can increase their engagement in these activities. Historically, working memory capabilities have been assessed predominantly through traditional intelligence tests. However, recent research questions the adequacy of these behavioral measures in accurately detecting changes in working memory. To bridge this gap, the current study utilized electroencephalography (EEG) as a more sophisticated and precise tool for monitoring potential changes in working memory after the training. The research findings were revealing. Participants showed marked improvement in their performance on n-back tasks, a standard measure for evaluating working memory. This improvement post-training strongly supports the effectiveness of the training program. The results indicate that such targeted and structured training programs can significantly enhance the working memory abilities of children in this age group, providing promising implications for educational strategies and cognitive development interventions.
