The rapid development of cross-border e-commerce has put forward higher requirements for cross-border logistics services. Due to the international nature of the cross-border logistics environment and the complexity of the process, small and medium-sized enterprises often entrust logistics to third-party logistics companies in engaging in cross-border e-commerce activities to reduce logistics costs, improve logistics service quality and enhance logistics core competitiveness. However, the practice has proved that while third-party logistics bring benefits to enterprises, it will also bring financial and information risks to enterprises, which will affect the development of enterprises and become one of the bottlenecks in the development of cross-border e-commerce.","PeriodicalId":253813,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Business and Technology Management","volume":"225 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":"122436527","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}

Despite the emergence of data analytics that has benefited various businesses and industrial sectors, the facilities management sector has been conservative in adopting the technology. This would lead to severe challenges for FM to achieve continuous improvement and revolutionise the management of the facilities through the implementation of IR4.0. Thus, this paper aims to determine why facilities management service providers seem to be struggling to adopt data analytics in their operations. A literature review was carried out on existing literature on the topic. The selected articles were then critically evaluated for their quality and relevance to the subject matter and the findings were synthesised and summarised. The result suggests that facilities management service providers faced three challenges that contribute to their conservative adoption of data analytics in facilities management which are technology integration, organisational inefficiency, and financial constraints. The findings of this study could help to better understand why the facilities management sector has been conservative in adopting data analytics which could pave a path to identifying ways for facilities management service providers to adopt data analytics in their operations.","PeriodicalId":253813,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Business and Technology Management","volume":"49 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":"125469863","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}

Malaysia is known for having many online shoppers and is considered a high-risk country, city, or region for online fraud. Recently, scammers have taken advantage of the new social media landscape known as social commerce or S-commerce, which has fewer regulations than legal online shopping websites. This trend has created ample opportunities for scammers to steal consumers' data and money. Unlike traditional online shopping scams, these scams involve data stealing, which can have severe consequences for the victims. This study examines how consumers disclose their personal information during online shopping via social commerce platforms. The research involved conducting in-depth interviews with eight informants who had experienced online shopping scams in the Klang Valley area. The study found that social commerce platforms have influenced consumers' self-control in disclosing their personal information as they can fulfil consumers' needs and wants leisurely. However, this has created room for scammers to manipulate consumers and trap them through social commerce activities.","PeriodicalId":253813,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Business and Technology Management","volume":"13 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":"125397356","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}

However, the global workforce and business entities responded differently to this new paradigm shift due to disparities in implementing effective and employee-centric WFH strategies. Accordingly, this research uses the perceptual attitudes and experiences of employees to evaluate the existing organizational arrangements for WFH and their efficacy to facilitate employees in performing their jobs from home during the pandemic. We employed a qualitative approach and interviewed 15 employees of Organisation XYZ to investigate their perception of the organisation’s WFH arrangements and recorded their experiences. The study found that employees’ perceptual attitudes toward WFH during COVID-19 constitute four main components namely organisational support, personal factors, employee performance, and WFH transition. Further analyses elucidate that there are several components (themes) that positively and negatively impacted and shaped employees’ experience of WFH. Our study suggests effective strategies to facilitate organizations gearing up for the transition to WFH during the pandemic by understanding the underlying factors that influence employees’ perceptions and experiences of WFH.","PeriodicalId":253813,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Business and Technology Management","volume":"59 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":"124066068","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}

Servicescape upgrades are often viewed as benefitting intangible aspects of business performance, such as improved levels of comfort, happiness, aesthetics, confidence, and health. This makes it difficult for facilities managers to convince upper management, particularly the finance department, that a proposed servicescape upgrade will benefit the business as there are no existing methods to anticipate a return on investment (ROI) of servicescape upgrades based on the quantification of intangible values in monetary terms. In other words, how can we determine if an improved level of comfort, happiness, pleasure, aesthetics, confidence, and health will result in profit in monetary terms? Currently, a research study is being carried out to construct a methodological framework for anticipating the ROI of servicescape upgrading based on the quantification of intangible values. The first objective of the research is to identify ROI calculation methods that can be used to anticipate the ROI of servicescape upgrade based on the quantification of intangible values. This paper reports the preliminary findings. Fifty-three literary sources, including journals, scholarly articles, website, blog posts, and books, were reviewed. Content analysis was carried out using Nvivo, and the results revealed that willingness to pay (WTP) or willingness to accept (WTA), information economic (IE), capital investment appraisal technique (CIAT), contingent valuation method (CVM), cost-benefit analysis (CBA), hedonic price method, travel cost method, comparative analysis, process of elimination, quantification technique, revealed preference, stated preference, and scenario analysis are the methods for anticipated ROI of servicescape upgrades based on the quantification of intangible values. The findings from this preliminary analysis help to identify possible methods that can be adopted in anticipating ROI based on the quantification of intangible values of servicescape upgrading.","PeriodicalId":253813,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Business and Technology Management","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":"130803466","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}
