{"title":"Medical Cannabis Brand Architecture: Establishing its Roots in Pharmaceutical Marketing","authors":"Christos Ntais, J. Suvatjis, Yioula Melanthiou","doi":"10.35808/ijeba/804","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.35808/ijeba/804","url":null,"abstract":": Purpose: This paper investigates how cannabis can be introduced through brand architecture as a medicinal product. It discusses the setting of medical cannabis brand architecture and classifies cannabis products into brands under a brand hierarchy. Design/methodology/approach: A literature review produced a pool of data related to medical cannabis and brand architecture and set the foundation for devising a medical cannabis brand architecture pattern for administrative brand manageability and applicability. Findings: According to the literature review, a number of issues related to medical cannabis, branding, brand architecture and marketing were evaluated and considered. After considering all the components of traditional (generic) marketing theory, we proceed with a Customer Analytic Approach (PCA2) to enable us to construct and adopt an appropriate brand architecture model (the Triadic model) which would be aligned with medical cannabis holistic marketing strategy and future product line. Practical implications: The analysis of the devised brand architecture strategy considered a number of issues such as the nature of the product, potential customers, its intended use and its current stigmatization status and resulted in a proposed commercialization process. Originality/value: The examination of current brand issues, customer idiosyncrasies, purchasing intentions and market opportunities were considered in order to accurately and insightfully construct a brand architecture for cannabis as a future medicinal product, benefiting not only the firms selling it but society in general with respect to its pharmacological properties.","PeriodicalId":37182,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Business Administration","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88806739","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}

{"title":"Leadership of the Heart: Lessons From a 21st Century Arab Monarch","authors":"Reynold James, Arwa Said Abdallah Al Saaidi","doi":"10.5430/ijba.v14n1p139","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5430/ijba.v14n1p139","url":null,"abstract":"The past half a century has witnessed a universal and publicly acknowledged bankruptcy of strong ethical and moral leadership within corporations and nations alike, aptly summed up by President Obama in 2009, as: “the attitude that’s prevailed from Washington to Wall Street to Detroit for too long; an attitude that valued wealth over work, selfishness over sacrifice, and greed over responsibility”. Given the deteriorating state of ethical and humane leadership within much of the current crop of leaders of industry and governments, there are a few valuable lessons to be learned from the life and work of Sheikh Zayed, the monarch of the UAE until recently. Most important perhaps, were his traits of selflessness, sharing, consensus building and striving untiringly to uplift those under his care, eventuating in the transformation of the UAE under his watch, from a state of impoverishment to one of prosperity. There is little difference between modern day CEO’s, monarchs and nations’ leaders. However, whilst they all enjoy immense authority and power, how and to what end they use the same is a matter of personal choice, that eventually determines their legacies. As monarch of a fairly new state, despite being relatively free of legal or institutional compulsions, Sheikh Zayed’s choices were always premised on the ‘others first’ principle, that transformed the UAE to its current state. Surprisingly, despite such rare qualities, little has been written about him in the mainstream western academic leadership and ethics literature, which is a shortcoming this article seeks to rectify.","PeriodicalId":37182,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Business Administration","volume":"190 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80093011","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}

{"title":"The Use of Sustainable Financial Instruments in Relation to the Social Impact Investment: ESG Policies, Capital Markets’ Approach and Investors’ Protection: An Innovative Perspective for a Global Surveillance Authority","authors":"Athanasios G. Panagopoulos, Ioannis Tzionas","doi":"10.5430/ijba.v14n1p87","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5430/ijba.v14n1p87","url":null,"abstract":"Social Impact Investment (SII) refers to the provision of finance to organizations addressing social needs. It is intended to achieve both a social impact as well as garner financial returns. Thus, SII may be understood as a business case for what was previously considered mostly philanthropic activities. In the case of SRI (Sustainable and Responsible Investment), investors decide in which company to invest on the basis of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria. They consider a company's performance with respect to its effects on nature, its relationships with employees, clients and society, and the transparency of its governance. Where possible, companies should provide quantitative, comparable and forward-looking performance metrics to facilitate ESG integration. It is recommended that companies should use credible indicators which are included in internationally recognised reporting frameworks like GRI, SASB, IIRC, TCFD, CDP or UNGC. Companies should disclose their methodology and provide explanations to support quantitative indicators (ESG metrics), establishing the link between ESG and financial performance. The investor perspective is in important issue, which should be taken under consideration by European and local supervising authorities, under the provisions of the Market Abuse Directive and the MiFID, especially after the introduction and use of ESG and sustainable financial instruments, in both, Banking and Capital Markets. Therefore, SII can be a very useful tool for achieving EU Social Policy objectives. EU efforts (DG EMPL/FISMA) can be targeted at four specific aims that concern impact measurement: 1) promotion of the standardisation of impact measurement through the further development of the taxonomy regulations to include social objectives or the creation of standardised guidelines or the further development of ESG metrics; 2) capacity building in the area of impact measurement; 3) increasing the availability of the data needed; and 4) the promotion of additional and more specialized sustainable financial instruments linked to the Banking Sector and Capital Markets, which in turn will leverage more the total investment amount derived from the InvestEU tool and offer to all stakeholders more flexibility. Therefore, the global liquidity will be increased, and a strong economic turmoil could be avoided under the surveillance of a theoretically established Global Surveillance Authority. The use of sustainable financial instruments by a P.E.S. (social enterprise) under a public-private partnership (PPPs) is also feasible and socially rewarding.","PeriodicalId":37182,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Business Administration","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136195566","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 work has a quantitative and descriptive approach, with data collected from a structured questionnaire with a 7-point Likert scale. Structural equation modelling was used to test the hypotheses using the SmartPLS software for data analysis. The practical implications point to using concrete correlation evidence among the constructs to explain the intention and the action of individuals linked to companies’ incubators. Therefore, the statistical results proved that the conceptual model adopted was adequate.","PeriodicalId":37182,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Business Administration","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74773913","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 study revealed that the average age of the interviewees was 41 years old, with the monthly net income obtained between USD 800 and USD R$ 1799. The total of all respondents reported that their ways of life and their businesses were affected during the pandemic, and in the recovery of the economy, they reported in their perceptions that the main implications resulting from that period were the high workload dedicated to work activities, the financial instability of sales , personal stress with the post-pandemic crisis and the lack of skilled labor. With regard to the future, and on the prospects for commercial growth, the majority of the respondents (n=88%) attested that despite being affected by the pandemic, they managed to implement actions to recover revenue, with the personalized customer service, quality of product offered, the variety of food offered and the speed in customer service being the main factors that have facilitated the recovery process after the pandemic.","PeriodicalId":37182,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Business Administration","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79478521","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}
