Among the horticulture crops, the growth rate of fruit production has been adversely affected by the restrictions imposed during the lockdown. The fertilizer consumption, annual rainfall, pesticides consumption and storage capacity are identified as major determinants affecting the agricultural crop production in the country during the lockdown period.","PeriodicalId":31166,"journal":{"name":"International Research Journal of Business Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46365418","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}

Twenty participants were subjected to a series of directed in-depth interviews, which were grouped by gender (male and female) and income (middle low and middle up). This research has been conducted between October 2021 and January 2022. Researchers discovered that the higher a parent's income is, the more thoughts they have before purchasing goods or services, and the higher a parent's educational level is, the more considerations they have before purchasing goods or services. Before purchasing products or services, parents think about their children's health, safety, comfort, and educational value of the goods or services. \u0000Keywords: children behaviour; parents’ purchase decision; unconscious behaviour.","PeriodicalId":31166,"journal":{"name":"International Research Journal of Business Studies","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80328720","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 collected data are interpreted by implementing thematic analysis. The study reveals that there are three main issues faced by Dalegan local communities: financial, creativity and lack of legal procedures. The collaboration of financial service agents, educational institutions, (local) government bodies and local community inclusion is needed. The study demonstrates that to build Dalegan marine tourism, local/community leadership, local human quality improvement, local resources identification and local culture need to be used as the development grounds.  The study also shows that the local community is still not aware of the environmental issues and diversification of recreational activities. Thus, local community still needs advocacy to understand the relationship between tourism and environment. The study also finds that local women are valuable human resource for marine tourism business. They are potential women entrepreneurs who develop small business around WPP marine tourism.","PeriodicalId":31166,"journal":{"name":"International Research Journal of Business Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89649991","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}

As competition becomes stiff, firms must be more involved in how their suppliers and customers conduct their businesses. To succeed in today’s challenging business environment, firms must be able to effectively integrate the internal function within a company and effectively link them with the external operations of supply chain members. Due attention should be given by firms to supply chain management practices as it has significant influence in enhancing SCM functions and ultimately performances. Accordingly, the objective of this study is to examine the practices and effect of supply-chain management on firms’ competitive advantage; and to look at the effect of inventory management on firms’ performance. Moreover, the study attempted to identify major challenges of supply-chain management in selected manufacturing firms in Ethiopia. To attain the objectives quantitative approach was employed. Moreover, a descriptive inquiry along with causal research design was used. Primary data were obtained from survey questionnaires. Large manufacturing firms; 2 textiles and 2 sugars were selected as samples using purposive sampling technique. In addition, 4 officials from each of the eight departments’ viz., General Managers, Purchasing managers, Technical managers, Operation managers, Quality managers, Transport managers, Sales and IT managers were selected from the four firms included in the study. Hence, a total of 128 respondents from each of the three studies were judgmentally selected. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0 version using descriptive statistics, Correlation analysis and multiple regressions analysis. Accordingly, based on the regression result it is revealed that the supply chain dimensions included in the study viz., customer relationship management, customer service management, level of information sharing, demand management process, environmental issues,  and supplier relationship management were positively and significantly affect firms competitive advantage.  Finally, it is suggested that manufacturing firms should create close relationship with customers to differentiate their products from competitors. Moreover, manufacturing firms are recommended to apply information technology like electronic data interchange within and among the supply chain umbrellas as a whole. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":31166,"journal":{"name":"International Research Journal of Business Studies","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84519851","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}

At these ends, the mixed method was employed by combining qualitative and quantitative data gathering approaches. The study used key informant interviews among 11 women's organizations in Baguio City and Benguet, where a total of 284 women members were interviewed. The result of the talks was subjected to semantic analysis and net present social value analysis.  The results reveal that women's organizations reflect the dimensions of social capital and bring a significant contribution to members' lives. The findings imply that women members are duly recognized in their organizations, and each member expects to receive a positive value of the social benefit.  Hence, women's organizations are the embodiment of social capital that contributes to women's value creation and empowers their members to maximize their capacities.  \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":31166,"journal":{"name":"International Research Journal of Business Studies","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72932482","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}
