Qi","doi":"10.17549/gbfr.2023.28.2.1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17549/gbfr.2023.28.2.1","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: This study examines the antecedents and predictors of investment intention and the mediating role of investment self-efficacy. The study empirically investigates the complexity of the decision-making process related to financial investment in Shandong, China. \u0000Design/methodology/approach: The Integrated Behavioral Model underpinned the research. The sample was selected using the judgmental-sampling method. A sample of 313 responses from young income earners aged 25 to 39 was analyzed. Twelve hypotheses were tested using the SmartPLS statistical software. \u0000Findings: The resultant outcomes contradict the normative theory of finance. The findings revealed that psychological (risk perception and subjective financial knowledge) and sociological (influences of family, friends, and Internet) factors significantly influence the attitude of young income earners toward investment. Investment self-efficacy demonstrates a significant mediating role, as the indirect effect is almost half the total effect. Evidently, subjective financial knowledge positively influences investment self-efficacy, which in turn has a positive influence on investment intent. \u0000Research limitations/implications: The result is concerning as young wage earners appear overconfident in their financial skills. Policymakers and relevant market actors should strive to improve real financial knowledge, as real financial knowledge is known to be linked with the effectiveness of financial investments. Future research in this area may adopt a mixed-method approach as it has the potential to uncover new variables and provide a broader spectrum to understand the complexity of people's investment decision-making process. \u0000Originality/value: The study highlights the complexity of the decision-making process. It highlights the central role of self-efficacy in explaining investment intention. The empirical evidence from the world's most populous nation, China, expands the relevance of behavioral finance theory in mainstream finance research.","PeriodicalId":35226,"journal":{"name":"Global Business and Finance Review","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90099075","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}

Industrial firm performance is positively affected by Human capital efficiency (HCE) and Capital Employed Efficiency (CEE). \u0000Generally, Structural capital efficiency (SCE) has an insignificant effect on the industrial firm performance. Impact of IC efficiency depends on the internal and external factors. The impacts of IC efficiencies differ among levels of knowledge intensity. Generally, HCE is more important than CEE. The impact of IC on industrial firm outcomes depends on knowledge intensity levels. The more knowledge intensive, the stronger impact of IC is. Only high knowledge intensive firms benefit from all three components of IC efficiency. HCE and CEE are most effective for firms with high knowledge intensity. SCE is strongest for firms at low knowledge intensity. Only CEE contributes to industrial firms at all knowledge intensity levels. HCE is insignificant for firms at low knowledge intensity, while SCE is insignificant for firms at medium level. \u0000Research limitations/implications: The paper examines only one variable representing for firm financial performance, ROA. Controlled variables are only at industrial level, not at broader levels, such as provincial or national levels. \u0000Originality/value: Investigating IC will contribute to literature of levels of investment in tangible and intangible assets. It helps firm leaders and policymakers to comprehend the significant role of IC as well as the knowledge economy, then properly reallocate intellectual resources.

This study aims to examine the determinants of OFD sales in a restaurant during the COVID-19 crisis. \u0000Design/methodology/approach: We analyzed 139,812 restaurant-level credit card OFD transaction data from January 2019 to June 2020 in Seoul, South Korea. \u0000Findings: During COVID-19, many restaurants participated and experienced sales growth through the OFD platforms. On the demand side, the composition of customers using OFD services has changed, replacing the demand for dining out. Our estimation results show that the food category, customer composition ratio, and past performance significantly affected restaurants’ OFD revenue during the pandemic. \u0000Research limitations/implications: The results suggest implications for the restaurant industry responding to changing customer needs on OFD platforms. Restaurants with high-performing OFDs before the pandemic experienced higher sales during the pandemic period. The results imply that experiences to fit customers’ needs toward OFD are likely to help restaurants overcome the losses incurred due to the COVID-19 outbreak. \u0000Originality/value: This study empirically revealed the effect of store category, past performance, demographic, and geographical customer profile on OFD demand for external shocks such as COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":35226,"journal":{"name":"Global Business and Finance Review","volume":"66 5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77438466","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}

We proxy the ESG activities by their ESG rating announced by the Korea Corporate Governance Service (KCGS). Our testing model is reconstructed from Ohlson’s (1995) model with accounting expenses to test whether ESG rating plays an additional role in increasing the value relevance of R&D expenses. \u0000Findings: Results show that higher ESG ratings increase the value relevance of development costs, but not research costs. The results are robust, with alternative fixed effect or double clustering, and are more relevant to those in low-technology industries or Korean non-chaebol companies. Further analyses reveal the effects of individual ESG activities that environment (E) and governance (G) increase the value relevance of capitalized development costs, but activities related to society (S) decrease value relevance.

For this purpose, this study analyzed the differentiation of service supply chain, which could be hardly explained by the traditional manufacturing supply chain architecture. \u0000Design/methodology/approach: The research method was conducted through in-depth literature review. It was intended to identify the structure and characteristics of the service supply chain through an in-depth literature review in the service and supply chain fields. \u0000Findings: The service industry is made up of a wide range of fields and has various characteristics. The characteristics of the service industry are expected to be more diverse and complicated depending on the tangibility spectrum or servitised degree of the combination of tangible products and intangible services. According to the literature review, remarkable differences were shown between the type of the traditional manufacturing-oriented supply chain and that of the logistics service supply chain in respect of industrial architecture and direction of the entities in the supply chain. \u0000Research limitations/implications: This study cannot suggest general service supply chain types through literature review. The reason may be that it was difficult to generalize the types of service supply chains due to the diversity of the service industry and the characteristics of services that are different from tangible products. It was also difficult to apply the methodology to scientifically distinguish service supply chain to the traditional supply chain. \u0000Originality/value: The research results of this study on the service supply chain are meaningful in both academic and practical aspects. Academically, it provides the foundation for research on the service supply chain structure.

Responding to the changing landscape towards disruptive innovation resulting from advanced technological development, the UAE government has started to focus seriously on the development of new disruptive technology platforms. Thus, as an initial step in developing a model of disruptive innovation factors that contributes to the financial service performance in the UAE, this study was geared towards investigating the disruptive innovation factors towards financial service performance. \u0000Design/methodology/approach: This research employed a quantitative research method. The data were collected from 315 respondents among executive banking officers at Mohammed Bin Rashid Centre for Government Innovation, in Abu Dhabi through questionnaires. \u0000Findings: The results indicated that disruptive innovation factors of financial service performance in the UAE showed a rather high level of technology intention towards innovation. As for the disruptive innovation factors, the economic, environmental and social were proven significantly and positively related to financial service performance. Therefore, the results supported Innovation Diffusion Theory and Technology Acceptance Model that both disruptive business models and disruptive technology influence a financial institution's performance. \u0000Research limitations/implications: This paper offers important implications specifically This study has successfully shed some light on the willingness of current disruptive innovation to transform into a financial service performance context. The result of this study suggested that every business leader is playing a crucial part in influencing others to take up disruptive innovation practices in business. Since financial institutions can only practice disruptive innovation transition when the owner-managers appreciate it, it is therefore viable for the existing financial institution to share their own experiences or success stories with others. The government needs to have disruptive innovation since financial service performance is assumed to be a significant job and become an impetus of monetary and economic development in UAE, with the commitment of 80 percent of absolute innovation establishments in UAE that add to 20 percent of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), while shares 10 percent exports of the country.

Therefore, the issuance of RCPS can be an effective indicator to identify firms with financial constraints. \u0000Design/methodology/approach: This study employs a sample of 12,406 firm-year observations of listed companies in the Korean stock market from 2011 to 2018. The study conducts multiple regression analyses to investigate the level of earnings management of RCPS-issuing firms with respect to that of non-issuing firms. In this analysis, the earnings management is proxied by discretionary accruals and real operational activities. \u0000Findings: This study shows that RCPS-issuing firms have a higher level of discretionary accruals than non-issuing firms. Meanwhile, there is no significant difference in the level of real activities management between RCPS-issuing and non-issuing firms. These findings imply that firms with financial constraints engage in aggressive earnings management through discretionary accruals rather than real operational activities. \u0000Research limitations/implications: This study provides compelling evidence that financially constrained firms strategically use discretionary accruals to signal positive prospects for external capital suppliers, allowing them to raise the capital necessary for investment.

Specifically, the study considers the characteristics of the mentee, mentoring functions provided by the mentor, and support from the operating agency as antecedents to explain the perceived mentoring effectiveness of the mentee. \u0000Design/methodology/approach: I conducted two studies. Study 1 involves data from mentees participating in the entrepreneur mentoring program hosted by the Korea Venture Business Association from March to June 2018. Data for Study 2 was collected from mentees participating in the mentoring program hosted by incubating center of university located in South Korea from November to October 2022. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to examine the hypotheses. \u0000Findings: First, Study 1 shows that willingness to receive mentoring positively affects entrepreneurial competence improvement, but this impact was insignificant in Study 2. Second, the problem-solving function provided by the mentor presents a significant positive effect on both mentoring satisfaction and entrepreneurial competence improvement. Third, the motivating function undertaken by a mentor only has a significant positive effect on improving entrepreneurial competence in Study 1. This motivating function positively affects mentoring satisfaction and entrepreneur competence improvement in Study 2. Fourth, support from the operating agency has a significant positive impact on both mentoring satisfaction and improving entrepreneurial competence after controlling for the mentor and mentee effects. \u0000Research limitations/implications: This study provides a theoretical contribution to the research on entrepreneur mentoring. In this regard, it suggests three actors-based models of mentoring effectiveness and practical implications for organizations executing entrepreneurship mentoring programs. Accordingly, it confirms that the operating agency’s managerial role is necessary for enhancing entrepreneur mentoring effectiveness. \u0000Originality/value: Entrepreneur mentoring is implemented via formal mentoring in many developing countries. However, little attention has been paid to the operating agency as the primary determinant affecting mentoring effectiveness.
