One bank, in particular has been highly competitive due largely to the effect of increased quasi-financial organisations in the market. This banking division has been a dominant player in the KwaZulu-Natal region and its presence is especially evident in non-metro areas. Therefore, it is imperative that management and the human resources department identify the pertinent motivating factors which could be incorporated in the formulation of their succession plans. These initiatives could result in existing employees either remaining in or accepting key positions in the KwaZulu-Natal non-metro areas. To identify the factors, a cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted among 125 employees using an online survey. It was found that there was a significant association (p<0.05) between the employment status and certain motivational factors i.e. opportunities to gain experience and job development, career growth prospects and potential promotion and work-life balance. The results suggested that the factors investigated are unlikely to motivate employees from metro areas to take up positions in non-metro areas, whereas in the case of employees in non-metro areas, significant associations can be utilised as motivational factors to take up opportunities in non-metro area.","PeriodicalId":150829,"journal":{"name":"Business & IT","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116491192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With all the rise of big data (BD), e- commerce companies are making use of the resources to interact with much more with clients, provide much better items, moreover innovate far more to obtain a competitive edge. Nevertheless, past empirical studies show conflicting results. Design: Building on the capital based viewpoint as well as the firm 's inertia idea, we made a model to enjoy how BD as well as BD analytics capability influence innovation leads to e commerce companies. We completed a two year empirical investigation project to secure empirical data on 1703 data driven innovation duties from Asia and USA. Findings: We demonstrated that there's a tradeoff among BD as well as BD analytics capability, in that the maximum harmony of BD depends upon the quantity of BD analytics skill. BD analytics ability exerts a very good moderating impact, that's, the greater this capability is, the taller the outcome of BD on gross sales and margin growth. For U.S. development tasks, BD comes with an inverted U shaped connection with sales innovation. For Asian development responsibilities, when main details capital is very little, advertising big data analytics capability betters disgusting margin and sales innovation as much as a certain issue. Policy Implications: Establishing BD analytics capability with that time might stop development effectiveness. Our results provide instruction to e- commerce firms on creating strategic options regarding supply allocations for BD as well as BD analytics skill. Originality: A small investigation is performed to show the effect of utilizing BD analytics tools to push innovation. This's among the very first articles which dive into utilizing BD to foster development in the e-commerce industry.","PeriodicalId":150829,"journal":{"name":"Business & IT","volume":"31 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124220772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on the resource based view, features, and also on the most recent literature on big data analytics, this specific analysis examines the indirect link between a huge data analytics capability, as well as two types of development capabilities, incremental and radical. The study extends present investigation by proposing that BDACs allow firms to produce insight that could help strengthen dynamic features, which positively affect incremental innovation capabilities and radical. To evaluate our proposed hypothesis, we used survey info from 185 chief officers and supervisors in Italian companies. By partial least squares structural equation modeling, results confirm our assumptions about the indirect effect BDACs have on growth capabilities. Especially, we find that dynamic abilities fully mediate the end result on both incremental and radical innovation capabilities. Furthermore, under conditions of increased eco-friendly heterogeneity, the result of BDAC's on effective features, and also in sequence, incremental innovation skill is enhanced, while under conditions of higher eco-friendly dynamism, the effect of effective capabilities on incremental innovation capabilities is amplified.","PeriodicalId":150829,"journal":{"name":"Business & IT","volume":"164 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115431463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This city is located in the Central Bohemia region, in the Pribram district. The subject of the analysis is the monitored period of two years, from December 2020 to November 2022. The analysis is supported by data from the real estate portals Sreality.cz and Reas.cz, where the offer and actual prices are found, which are entered in the real estate cadastre in purchase contracts. Furthermore, the analysis is based on a local investigation and information from the public portal of the Czech Statistical Office, the Land Registry and the website of the city of Sedlcany, more specifically on their flood plan. Within the monitored period, there are a total of 46 bid advertisements at an average price of 53,619 CZK per 1 square meter. For actual prices, 53 price data are calculated with an average purchase price of CZK 47,884 per 1 square meter. The total average prices differ, but also their development, for which a regression function is always created. Due to the development of the number of offers and their prices, also due to the presence of new housing units among older properties, the reliability value of the offer price model is very low. A higher reliability value can be observed for real prices, where the impact of housing units from the newly completed construction of an apartment building can again be seen. The goal of the work is achieved through an overall analysis and assessment with the conclusions that new buildings have a large impact on prices. The subject of further research will be adding information to the overall context of the issue.","PeriodicalId":150829,"journal":{"name":"Business & IT","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126508864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
