The experimental design comprised randomized blocks in a 5 × 2 factorial scheme, with four replications. Treatments consisted of five levels of water replacement (100, 75, 50, 25 and 0%), with and without fertirrigation (N). The planting of sugarcane, cultivar RB85-5453, was performed in a double row (W-shaped), 8 m long, with 1.80 m spacing between the double rows, the distance between the crops in the double row was 0.40 m, with a total area of 52.8 m2 in each paddock. For treatments with water, replacement (WR) a drip tube was placed in the ground at a depth of 0.20 m among the furrows of the double row. The drip tube (DRIPNET PC 16150) comprised a thin wall, 1.0 bar pressure, nominal discharge 1.0 L h-1, and 0.50 m spacing between drippers. Nitrogen was applied by fertirrigation at a dose of 100 Kg ha-1, at 30-day intervals, with 10 applications throughout the development of the sugarcane culture. Potassium fertilization was fully realized at planting. The total cost with irrigation did not increase significantly with fertirrigation (< 3%) in an Oxisol under vinasse application.","PeriodicalId":37182,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Business Administration","volume":"187 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72769960","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}

For this analysis, an empitical study was carried out through a survey on a sample 300 companies selected by simple random sampling adapting the scales of Kohli & Jaworski (1990) to measure market orientation, for innovation the scale proposed by the OECD (2005) was adapted and business profitability and adaptation was made to the cale proposed by Gadenne, Mia, Sands, Winata, & Hooi (2012). Reliability and validity of the scales were evaluated through the Confirmatory Factor Analysis, which shows that the higher level of orientation to the SME market, the higher level of business profitability so companies must seek to implement innovation activities in their products, processes and management to see better, results reflected, in addition, the influence exerted by market orientation on innovation activities drives the company to meet the needs of the client and in this way conquering their preference.","PeriodicalId":37182,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Business Administration","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88727756","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}

Because of the fact that national initiatives are aimed at preventing patient harm from falls, healthcare leaders have come to the conclusion that in order to be effective, a falls prevention program needs to be multi-faceted, which in turn produces a complex system. However, as the system becomes more complex, the risk of failures towards implementation also increases because the implementation of a falls prevention program can be influenced by several factors. Factors such as, environmental and contextual issues; staff knowledge, beliefs and attitudes; organizational culture and climate; staff workloads; patient education; and access to appropriate equipment to name a few, which are all driven by healthcare leadership (Ayton et. al, 2017). For this reason, the purpose of this study was to sound the alarm to healthcare leadership to establish a standardized evidenced based falls prevention program. By focusing on this, the researcher was successful in highlighting a series of fall risk assessment tools and interventions that has been known to develop fall prevention programs within healthcare. Equally important, the researcher provided several themes that has known to both inhibit and build fall prevention programs. Thereafter, the researcher then suggested two leadership strategies, reflexivity and resonant, for healthcare leaders to consider adopting as a means to help them develop effective fall prevention programs going forward.","PeriodicalId":37182,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Business Administration","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74012085","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}

Yuen, Calvin Cheng","doi":"10.35808/ijeba/808","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.35808/ijeba/808","url":null,"abstract":": Purpose: This research aimed to explore how to address the opportunities and challenges of sustainable e-procurement practices in the pandemic era. Particularly in developing a conceptual framework to evaluate different factors influencing sustainable e-procurement adoption in Hong Kong during the outbreak of COVID-19. Design/Methodology/Approach: To test the hypotheses, data were collected from 69 members of The Institute of Purchasing and Supply of Hong Kong. Investigation was conducted to study how respondents feel about their companies’ daily sustainable practices during the pandemic, the driving factors that promote adoption of e-procurement, and the effectiveness of such acts. Findings: E-procurement is a way to achieve competitive advantage and sustainable business in the future. The results showed that operational efficiency, cost effectiveness and employee acknowledgment are the top three factors for the adoption. However, due to pandemic, companies need to adapt to new suppliers, and it could be hard for firms to collaborate without face-to-face communications. Companies need to prepare sustainability assessments and Environment, Social & Governance (ESG) reports according to law. Finally, strengthening the connection between e-procurement and sustainable development can improve capabilities and performance. Practical Implications: The results helped provide a new insight for company performance and business sustainability. Originality/value: To the extent of our knowledge, this study is the pioneer investigation into new insight about the major drivers for e-procurement adoption for e-business firms.","PeriodicalId":37182,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Business Administration","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73393043","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: To answer the research question, regression analysis was performed to determine if there a positive and statistically significant correlation between tax revenues and GDP, as well as between tax revenues and the use of electronic payment instruments. Data were collected from the Greek Independent Authority for Public Revenue (IAPR) and from the Bank of Greece. Findings: The results of the research showed that the use of digital payments does not lead to an increase in tax revenues. Although over time there has been an increase in the use of electronic payment instruments and an increase in the volume of transactions, tax revenues have fluctuated significantly. Practical Implications: Electronic payment methods are a modern way of making transactions and are an instrument which can be used to reduce tax evasion through transparency and better control. Originality/value: This research do not link in a statistically significant way the use of electronic payment instruments and the increase of tax revenues.","PeriodicalId":37182,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Business Administration","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84328099","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}

Volkova","doi":"10.35808/ijeba/806","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.35808/ijeba/806","url":null,"abstract":": Purpose: The main aim of the article is to provide an overview of how the strategic leadership characteristic ambidexterity, impacts the creation of shared value in companies. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study builds upon a previous literature content analysis and relies on primary data collection and comprehensive analysis of the collected data. The structural equation modelling (SEM) technique was applied to examine the two constructs such as exploration and exploitation, as characteristics of ambidextrous leadership and its effect on business and social results. Findings: The analysis revealed that ambidexterity plays a significant role in creating shared value for companies. The results show that ambidextrous strategic leaders are more effective in creating social and business results simultaneously compared to those who do not possess this characteristic. The findings suggest a positive relationship between ambidexterity and creating shared value, meaning that the more ambidextrous the leader, the higher the likelihood of creating shared value. Furthermore, the study shows that leaders tend to be more optimistic about future opportunities and trends, which indicates that they focus more on exploring new opportunities rather than exploiting existing resources. However, the study also revealed that there is a more pessimistic view when it comes to exploiting current resources to their full potential. Practical Implications/limitations: In this paper, the authors recognise the limitations in the application of the construct of ambidextrous strategic leadership. Although strategic leadership has several characteristics and constructs, this research focuses on ambidexterity and the two related its sub-constructs of exploiting and exploring. Moreover, the sample size of companies analysed in the study may not represent all types of organisations as the focus has been on medium and large sized companies.

Kukaj","doi":"10.35808/ijeba/809","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.35808/ijeba/809","url":null,"abstract":": Purpose: In view of the fact that the economic future of the region is the European Union, this research paper studies the economic progress of the Western Balkan countries towards the EU, based on the performance of macroeconomic indicators. The purpose of the research paper is to analyse the macroeconomic indicators of the Western Balkan countries, the assessment of the economic growth per capita during the period 2000-2020, the expectations for the future, and the measurement of the economic progress of such countries towards the European path. Design/Methodology/Approach: Through panel data using several econometric models, the consideration of the Maastricht criteria in achieving convergence between the Western Balkan countries and the European Union countries, is examined. Using the indicator of economic growth and the GDP per capita in purchasing power parity, the direct significance of the Maastricht criteria in the real convergence between these countries is measured. Findings: Empirical results showed that there is a relationship between real and nominal convergence, with the nominal convergence being considered a prerequisite for achieving real convergence. Practical Implications: The agenda for the idea of European expansion should become a genuine economic policy based on economic parameters measured and analyzed with research and scientific methods. As the study highlights different aspects of economic growth promoters, the quality of institutions is one of the critical indicators that mobilize macroeconomic factors to ensure economic growth in WB countries. Originality/Value: This paper provides a fine scientific and research example in analyzing the convergence process. The results can serve as a good guide for policymakers in navigating the right path to EU membership.","PeriodicalId":37182,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Business Administration","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90448406","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}
