Therefore, this paper chooses Tencent as the case study object to discuss the influence of venture capital on the value creation of the platform-type business ecosystem, hoping to provide reference for China’s corporate venture capital practices. Design/Methodology/Approach – This paper takes Tencent’s corporate venture capital investment data from 2011 to 2022 as the research object, and uses case analysis, financial index analysis, and event analysis to demonstrate whether there is influence between corporate venture capital and enterprise value. Findings – Through the analysis of the investment motivation, investment mode, and investment projects of Tencent Group’s venture capital, the research results show that corporate venture capital can indeed have an impact on the strategic and financial values of enterprises. Research Implications – There are few studies on the venture capital activities of Internet platform enterprises in the existing literature. Based on two dimensions of strategic and financial value, this paper explores the value creation function of venture capital in the platform business ecosystem, and the research results have reference significance for the venture capital activities of other enterprises.","PeriodicalId":165953,"journal":{"name":"Asian Trade Association","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123006516","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}

Most of the existing research on new energy vehicles derive valuation methods from traditional automobile companies. This paper aims to establish an effective investment value analysis model and determine a reasonable investment range through comprehensive analysis of the internal and external environment of the company, so as to provide investors with more specific references for investment value. Design/Methodology/Approach – Based on value investment theory, this study compares several major domestic listed new energy vehicle companies and combines financial analysis and valuation methods. Taking BYD, a leading domestic automobile company, as an example, it analyzes the current investment value in the field of new energy vehicles to assist investors in making better investment judgments. Findings – This study comprehensively compares the financial status of BYD and several major new energy vehicle companies in terms of profitability, solvency, and development capability. Using the PE valuation method, the study concludes that in the short term, the valuation of listed companies in the new energy vehicle sector is generally too high, indicating a certain bubble, and investors should exercise caution. In the medium to long term, investors can sustain their focus. Research Implications – This study provides a comprehensive, objective, and rigorous research method for stock valuation by comparing financial data, PE, and PB. Investors should analyze the impact of changes in financial data, policy changes, and technological advancements on the valuation of investment enterprises. In the future, they can intervene within a reasonable valuation range to obtain greater returns with lower risks.","PeriodicalId":165953,"journal":{"name":"Asian Trade Association","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128304877","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}

Design/Methodology/Approach – Interested property buyers in Laguna were randomly selected and characterized based on their socio-demographic and economic characteristics, and their COVID-19 experiences were described. Consumer preferences for different aspects of housing units were examined descriptively and using McNemar’s test, changes in preferred attributes of residential units before and during the pandemic were compared. Findings – Single-detached economic housing with three bedrooms was the most preferred type of unit of interested buyers. It was found that the higher the monthly income of respondents, the higher the property value they preferred to purchase. Los Baños is the preferred municipality to live in because of its proximity to the metropolitan capital. The preferred mechanism of ownership is either rent-to-own or via a loan. Those earning a monthly income of PhP 131,484 (USD 2,708.77) to PhP 219,140 (USD 4,514.63) preferred to purchase residential property in cash. As for attributes, proximity to highways, proximity to community services, proximity to houses of family and friends, presence of swimming pool, presence of sense of community, secured and guarded community, quiet surroundings, presence of panoramic views, and pet-friendly home and community are statistically significantly different. Research Implications – Residential real estate developers should respond to various differences in consumer preferences. To continue satisfying prospective buyer demand and successfully close sales, it is vital to consider these consumer preference changes relative to residential projects.","PeriodicalId":165953,"journal":{"name":"Asian Trade Association","volume":"153 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123747015","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}

Yet, most overseas deals are not successful. Behavioral finance research attributes the failure of overseas M&A to the irrational cognition of corporate decision-makers: that is, overconfidence. This study focuses on exploring the relationship between CEO overconfidence and overseas M&A, and clarifying the impact of CEO overconfidence on the motivation, payment method, and corporate performance of overseas M&A. Design/Methodology/Approach – First, based on the hubris hypothesis, this study reviews the literature on CEO overconfidence and overseas M&A. Second, this study uses the case analysis method, taking Techcent Environmental Co., Ltd., as an example, to study the impact of CEO overconfidence on the motivation, payment method, and corporate performance of overseas M&A. Findings – Overconfident CEOs tend to make enterprises carry out overseas M&As and use cash in the settlement. At the same time, overconfident CEO overseas mergers and acquisitions have a negative impact on both short-term and long-term corporate performance. Research Implications – This study expands the scope of case studies on the theory of executive overconfidence in behavioral finance, verifies the hubris hypothesis, enriches the case study literature on CEO confidence in behavioral finance, and provides reference for the management and overseas M&As of corporate executives.","PeriodicalId":165953,"journal":{"name":"Asian Trade Association","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132315138","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}

Instead of harnessing its creative force to drive economic growth, it remains a creative labor supplier. The country is envisioned to become “a major creative hub in the Asia-Pacific, with strong and thriving creative industries” (British Council, 2017). Performing arts, including theater, is a key creative industries sector. However, theater is beset with precarity and instability (Santiago, 2021). This study sought to analyze the challenges and opportunities for revitalizing theater as an industry. Design/Methodology/Approach – In this investigation, a critical review was employed. This methodology not only describes the phenomena, but also formulates a re-conceptualization based on an integrative review of old and current models. A comparative analysis of creative economy models was made between Philippine theater and theaters internationally. Findings – Philippine theater is not fully utilizing its economic potential because current models involve high production costs, need for highly specialized creative labor, and lack of enabling policies. Among the four creative economy models (Potts and Cunningham, 2010), Philippine theater may benefit from Model 3, the Innovation Model, which may evolve into Model 4. Mapping representative theater companies and genres across the models provides insights into directions for theater innovations. A conceptual framework for innovating Philippine theater through Creative Entrepreneurship is forwarded. Research Implications – The framework yields valuable insights for theater managers, educators, heritage and cultural advocates, tourism creatives, and entrepreneurs.","PeriodicalId":165953,"journal":{"name":"Asian Trade Association","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126433128","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}
