AbstractCOVID-19 delivered economic difficulties and triggered a decrease in financial resilience. Workers are one of the affected parties. This study aims to measure financial stability and identify and analyze the effect of demographic characteristics such as age, gender, type of work, and income on the economic resilience of Muslim workers in South Jakarta. This research is quantitative research using multiple linear regression analysis methods. The purposive sampling technique and the Lemeshow equation were used to determine the sample size, with the criteria being the workforce, Muslim, and working or having worked in the South Jakarta area during the COVID-19 pandemic. The financial resilience framework consists of four categories: economic resources, financial products and services, financial knowledge and behavior, and social capital, which measure financial resilience. Of the 85 respondents, all experienced low economic strength. Gender does not significantly affect Muslim workers’ financial stability, while age, type of work, and income significantly affect financial resilience. However, simultaneously, all variables affect the high and low economic strength of Muslim workers in South Jakarta during the COVID-19 pandemic. With low financial stability, people must learn to increase financial productivity to be more optimal in dealing with difficult situations. Future research is expected to be able to measure economic resilience with more factors such as optimism or a mortgage owned with a much larger area. -

AbstractCovid-19 has caused severe economic shock in many countries. Many companies have failed during the pandemic, showing the unpreparedness of current supply chains for disruption and unexpected environmental changes. This research aims to identify risks that may occur and evaluate risks along with identifying mitigation action plans for the printing SME supply chain during the pandemic. Therefore, this study determines three indicators for assessing the company risks using Failure Mode and Effect Analysis. The theoretical implications of this research are identifying 16 risk events and 23 risk agents with the highest Risk Priority Number of 576. Also, six main risk agents are found based on the 80/20 Pareto principle. The managerial implications of this study are (1) Applying the principles of Supply Chain Risk Management to determine the supply chain risk management using the compiled risk management framework in Word and Excel; (2) Production managers can monitor supply chain risks regularly to determine the appropriate managing efforts by risk conditions in the future; and (3) Improving customer relations is the proposed risk management strategy. -

AbstractMigrant remittances remain a critical contributor to the economic growth and development of many emerging nations like Nigeria. The feasibility study would be useful for financial institutions, migrants, social workers, families, government and non-governmental organizations interested in migrant remittances and home improvement and financing. The study will provide vital information on how the remitted money could be used for housing development and other investment needs that can lead to greater domestic and economic development outcomes across Nigeria. This study utilized the descriptive research design on the field survey involving Nigerians in diaspora involved in various fields of endeavour across different countries. The responses from the study were examined using descriptive statistical analysis as derived from the responses generated through the questionnaires administered on Nigerian emigrants and representatives of randomly selected financial institutions as respondents of the study. The findings suggest a correlation with the survey findings elicited by 78% of respondents willing to utilise diaspora mortgages as a preferred means of home acquisition. The findings with regards to funding needs also aligns with the responses, where 92% and 78% of respondents agreed/strongly agreed that lack of access to mortgage and high interest rates were major factors from their perspective that impacts access to home acquisition and financing in Nigeria. Remittances can have a strong impact on development at both the macro and micro levels, especially because of its multiplier effects when directed to economic activities like housing development and construction. To ensure that remittances are also directed to support housing finance, some recommendations have been made, in order to address the concerns with information asymmetry, it is important to create platforms that increase the accessibility of vital information to Nigerians in the diaspora. -

AbstractThis study aims to explore hospitality students’ intentions toward entrepreneurial activities. The study examines the influence of modeling, entrepreneurial education, financial support, and students’ satisfaction with their major on their entrepreneurial intentions through the mediation of self-efficacy. A questionnaire was developed and distributed to hospitality students in three public universities in Jordan. A total of 246 valid responses were received. SEM was employed in this study to analyze the data through Smart-PLS software. The results demonstrated that students’ self-efficacy positively related to their entrepreneurial intentions. Furthermore, modeling and students’ satisfaction with their major were associated positively with self-efficacy, and self-efficacy mediated the influence of modeling and students’ satisfaction with their major on students’ entrepreneurial intentions. Conversely, entrepreneurial education and financial support were not significantly associated with self-efficacy; thus, there was a rejection of the proposed mediation of self-efficacy in the relationship between entrepreneurial education and financial support as an exogenous variable and entrepreneurial intentions as an endogenous variable. This study contributes to the discussion on what encourages students’ entrepreneurial intention, particularly in the hospitality field as there is a lack of studies regarding this vital topic. -

AbstractTourism service providers have historically utilized Self-Generated Content (SGC) throughout history to promote their products through traditional media. However, with the advent of social media in the past decade, marketers have shifted their preferences to user-generated content (UGC) over SGC, which positively impacts organizational performance. Prior to the emergence of social media, marketers created innovative marketing strategies through marketing mix elements. This approach known as “co-creation” has garnered attention from both marketers and academia. Social media is an excellent platform for attracting stakeholders to participate in co-creation. While there is growing interest in using social media in tourism marketing and its benefits, there is limited understanding of the development and issues of social media marketing (SMM) through co-creation. This study aims to fill this research gap by comparing co-creation scenarios before and after the implementation of SMM in tourism, using a narrative literature review and exploratory research design. The paper discusses the key dimensions of tourism marketing through co-creation, including the types of stakeholders and the impact of social media on business performance.The study suggests that marketers should strengthen co-creation processes in social media marketing to benefit tourism service providers. The study’s main finding indicates that co-created social media marketing positively impacts the performance of tourism businesses, but this relationship can be hindered by various crises at any given time. To address this, a framework was developed with co-creation as the guiding principle, which serves as a conceptual foundation for future research and is relevant for designing, marketing, and engaging in smart tourism marketing. -

AbstractFor Ukraine, foreign sales of agricultural raw materials and food industry products are traditionally the main source of income, providing the lion’s share of total export revenues. In recent years, the product structure of our external supplies has been very clearly formed, which is not too diversified, but finds its consumer in all corners of the planet. One of the important regions where there is a stable demand for Ukrainian food is Africa. Despite the lower turnover of trade with them compared to the markets of the European Union and Asia, Africa in many ways does not have a full-fledged alternative. This is based both on the specifics of the demand of local sales markets, and on various exotic products that it offers to the Ukrainian consumer due to the impossibility of their production in our natural and climatic conditions. At the same time, due to the greater geographical distance of African countries, trade with them is more sharply affected due to the application of restrictions, both during the COVID-19 pandemic and in the event of force majeure, in particular, the war in Ukraine. There is a significant dependence of the results of export and import of agri-food products on the intensity of trade operations with Egypt, some countries of North Africa and others. Until now, we do not have signed and functioning bilateral agreements on free trade zones. In general, the region is characterized by high instability in the socio-economic plan, the presence of constant risks for the organization and conduct of business activities. There is a noticeable difference between different subregions of the continent in the levels of economic development and income of the population. In contrast to such factors, Africa is recognized by many experts as the most promising and fast-growing part of the world, offering interested parties a number of interesting opportunities. Therefore, the need for a more detailed study of the region, especially regarding the potential of agricultural trade with Ukraine, is becoming increasingly urgent. -

AbstractTax avoidance is a form of tax planning. The methods and techniques used for tax avoidance involve exploiting weaknesses in the tax laws and regulations themselves order to reduce the amount of tax payable. Several factors influence tax avoidance, namely profits, debt, company size, company risk and tax loss compensation. The main method of conceptual research is literature review. The author will analyze and synthesize relevant literature to develop a deeper understanding of a concept or theory. The conclusion of this study is that tax avoidance factors such as profit, debt and company size do not have a significant influence on tax avoidance. However, tax avoidance factors such as business risk and tax loss compensation are found to have a significant influence on tax avoidance. The expected implication is that investors and governments can better understand the tax avoidance acts carried out by the Company, so that they can make the right decisions.
