By exploring the theoretical models of entrepreneurial learning, particularly those of Cope (2005) and Politis (2005), we identified three major research proposals that we confronted with reality by conducting an exploratory qualitative study with 10 Tunisian entrepreneurs who had experienced failure during their entrepreneurial activity. Through this study, we retained that failure constitutes an opportunity for entrepreneurial learning that manifests itself as a continuous process where the emotions of the entrepreneur play an important role. This learning depends on the nature of the failure, the emotions and the emotional regulators.","PeriodicalId":30298,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Management and Marketing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47354158","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}

Several studies have explored the impact of the continual connection between customers and companies on the social web platforms, with direct connotation for the enhancement of new products and trading. The effect of user and content market-production for participation on social web platform line communities on purchase expenditures is positive. There is a specific connection between increasing social media interaction and improved customer participation and loyalty. It has been discovered that blogs aid managers in the screening phase of product development and give power for negotiating better contract conditions. The aim of the paper was to review relevant literature on user-centered monetization techniques in social media. The study employed prisma analysis for this review.

This study investigates the practicality of the extended theory of reasoned action for street-food patronage decisions. The framework is premised on six critical constructs- attitudes, subjective norm, past behaviour, Food safety concerns, patronage intention and actual patronage. Data were collected from 550 consumers in Gauteng to validate the integrated conceptual framework. Structural equation modelling (SEM) technique is used to analyse data relating to the hypothesised relationships in the model. The results indicated that subjective norms and food safety concerns positively and significantly influence patronage intention. Attitude towards street food and past behaviour negatively and insignificantly influenced patronage intention. Lastly, patronage intention had a positive and a significant influence on actual patronage. Drawing from the study’s findings, managerial implications are discussed, and limitations and future research directions are suggested. By and large, this study immensely contributes new knowledge to the existing body of consumer behaviour literature in Africa - a context that is often most neglected by some researchers in developing countries.","PeriodicalId":30298,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Management and Marketing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45466282","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}

He can express his opinions, his experiences and seeks to acquire more control and power, which gives him meaning in his consumption (Moussafir and Qmichchou, 2021). According to Pruche (2014), consumer empowerment is associated more particularly with the development of e-commerce, which not only allows access to information but also facilitates the comparison of offers and makes the consumer more autonomous in its decision-making process. Through this academic work, we sought to know the relationship between consumer empowerment and satisfaction while specifying the role of the online experience towards the brand. The results of a survey carried out among 300 Tunisian Internet users subscribed to the online brand community \"Mabrouk\" reveal that the relationship between empowerment-satisfaction and online empowerment-experience towards the brand is significant, while the relationship between online experience and satisfaction is not significant.","PeriodicalId":30298,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Management and Marketing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45206121","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}

Furthermore, sales forecasting is indispensable in all levels of a company’s supply chain including production, distribution and logistics, marketing, and sale. This article mainly focuses on the analysis of characteristics affecting sales and sales forecasting in the cosmetics industry in which it will be helpful in determining sales strategies of cosmetics companies. Therefore, as a case study in this study, the main factors affecting the sale of cosmetic products were determined and categorized; accordingly. Three products including moisturizing cream, perfume, and sunscreen were examined using a statistical method. The effect of factors on product sales was predicted using the spline smooth prediction method and based on the predicted values, using the non-parametric Friedman test and Mean Rank, the effective factors were ranked in each of the three products. Moreover, the company’s sales volume in each of the three products was forecasted by using ARIMA models. The results demonstrated that factors such as “price” and “product” elements are the main drivers influencing the sales of moisturizing creams and “promotion” and “Inflation rate” factors play the most effective role in the sales of the perfume. Also, the compound aggregated growth rate (CAGR) for moisturizers, perfumes, and sunscreens over a five-year period in the study company are 30%, 29%, and 45%, respectively. It is very clear that to achieve ideal sales, paying attention to these influential factors and forecasting product sales lead to predicting material procurement of manufactures, distribution channels, and sales which finally provides business with customer satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":30298,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Management and Marketing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48670021","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 was investigated in accordance with specific brand building constructs. The study focused on a consumers’ perspective of the Clover Tropika brand within emerging economic areas. The research was based on a quantitative approach which adopted convenience sampling at Mall intercepts. A total sample of 238 consumers responded to a self-administered questionnaire at Southgate and Maponya Mall which are located in the south west of Johannesburg. All respondents were above the age of 18 and consented to participate in the research by willingly placing their completed questionnaires in the box provided on the day. The data techniques used included Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) which had a core focus on Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) which assisted in confirming the relationships proposed in the conceptual model. SEM also focused on path modelling to determine the causal relations. Nine out of the ten hypotheses proposed had a significant level of p<0.001 proving support for the proposed hypotheses. The research found that there is a significant relationship between brand awareness and brand attitudes, as this hypothesis had the highest path coefficient score. After the research was conducted. It was noted that high recall and recognition of the parent brand, accompanied by favorable attitudes, are key factors in leveraging on the parent brand image to build brand extensions. Moreover, brand extensions need to have high perceived fit in order to leverage extensively on the parent brand image.","PeriodicalId":30298,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Management and Marketing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45827889","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}

The questionnaires addressed the key objectives, namely, the extent to which the principals of the participating schools exhibited servant leadership and their understanding of “purpose” as one word in leadership and how teachers and learners perceived the impact of a “one-word” purpose-driven leader on the performance of the selected schools. Although no relationship could be demonstrated between ‘’purpose’’ and the performance of the two township schools, it became evident that a significant increase in Servant Leadership leads to a significant increase in engagement and performance, as measured by the matric pass rate. It is recommended that workshops be facilitated with principals and teachers in order to entrench ‘’purpose’’ deeper throughout the schools. In addition, Servant Leadership training has to conduced to increase the leadership ability of the school principals. Future research in the area of ‘’purpose as one word’’, as well as Servant Leadership as a principal skillset within the South Africa’s public school’s leadership is recommended.","PeriodicalId":30298,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Management and Marketing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46686342","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, despite the quest to access the markets as a unit, women cooperatives face several challenges that hinder their progress. This study sought to analyse the challenges facing women cooperatives in accessing markets for agricultural products. A systematic literature review was conducted using several academic databases. Thus, a plethora of studies on women cooperatives published between 2011 and 2022 were reviewed. The findings of this study show that women cooperatives’ access to markets is hampered by a lack of information about markets, transportation problems, structural and cultural constraints, and a lack of skills. This study is expected to contribute to the extant literature on women cooperatives and could assist scholars, policy-makers and practitioners to understand the dynamics of the challenges affecting women cooperatives. Such an understanding could help in reviewing and re-designing policies aimed at opening up markets for women cooperatives.","PeriodicalId":30298,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Management and Marketing","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41952665","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}
