Using a panel dataset of 28 commercial banks from 2010 to 2021, we investigate the impact of bank characteristics on economic growth and provide some important findings. Our findings show that bank characteristics significantly affect economic growth. These results suggest that policymakers should focus on controlling banks’ activities to support economic growth in Vietnam. Overall, this study contributes to the existing literature on the role of commercial banks in promoting economic growth in developing countries like Vietnam.","PeriodicalId":37927,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management and Business Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85485592","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 development of science and technology will define a new meaning and application of the management and administration of the firm. Due to modernization in technology and automation of work in managerial work, the processes of businesses become easy to handle, maintain and control. Technologies have made different elements of business such as manufacturing, communication, purchase and sales, marketing, trading and advertising became easier than before. With the present technology, machines are able to process the functions and give the desired outputs after feeding the respective commands in that machine. Technology also aids the productivity of the employees, to work better, easier and with convenience. With the betterment of AI (Artificial Intelligence), businesses are able to provide satisfaction to the customer, giving response at time, reviewing, analyzing their issues, etc., which saves their overhead costs and expands the capabilities of the firms. With many upcoming advancements like MR (Mixed Reality), Metaverse, IOT (Internet of Things), Robotic Process Automation, Quantum Computing and many others, it will surely impact the management work in the work in both positive and negative ways.

Madhya Pradesh is a unique state in India in the sense that two different forms of the organizations are working for timber and non-timber production in the state. It’s notable that Government of India has endorsed this model of doing commercial forestry and advised all the states in the country to adapt this model. It becomes important then to review the business model of the state’s forest resources especially the non-nationalized forest produce which is open for private sector. Unlike leading India based business entities like Patanjali, Dabur and Himalaya, the income generated through the network of the MP Minor Forest Produce (MFP) federation (which is government supported entity) is majorly distributing the profits among the collectors of the herbal produce. The thriving of this federation network is essential for the sake of livelihood, conservation and public health. These outcomes are relevant in the context of achieving the sustainable development goals. An independent consultant Mr. Darpan Kumar (pseudonym) analyses the business choices available in the industry and the state of strategic direction of the federation.

{"title":"Factor Analysis: Dealing with Response Bias","authors":"R. Goedegebuure, Manorama Adhikari","doi":"10.37391/ijbmr.110103","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.37391/ijbmr.110103","url":null,"abstract":"This paper proposes an innovative method for factor analyzing data that potentially contains individual response bias. Past methods include the use of “ipsative” data, or, related to that, “ipsatized” data. Unfortunately, factor analysis as the main method used for analyzing the dimensionality of data, cannot be applied to ipsative data. In contrast, normalization of data as an alternative method to filter out response bias, is not hampered by the technical statistical issues inherent to applying multivariate techniques to ipsative data. Using high-quality data from a survey in Nepal that makes use of – among others – the High-Performance Organizations (HPO) framework, this paper shows that the traditional approach of directly applying Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) starting from an existing model or theory, is inferior to our approach. Even applying Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) to the raw (non-normalized) data before using CFA, is unable to detect the optimal dimensionality, or structure, in the data. A better structure can be obtained by performing EFA on normalized data that corrects for response bias in the raw data. This paper convincingly shows that the newly identified structure is superior to the original structure suggested by the HPO framework. Applying a CFA using the newly detected structure on the raw data, gives excellent goodness-of-fit statistics, with more items retained, and no need of forced methods to improve the model fit. The findings suggest that existing models and questionnaires based on these models, are not necessarily as valid and reliable as empirical studies that make use of traditional analyses seem to suggest. When adopting existing instruments, researchers are advised to critically check the validity and reliability of these instruments – especially those vulnerable to response bias - and to apply the procedures laid out in this paper, in order to enhance the quality of their research, and to inform future researchers who consider using the same instruments or to warn them about the potential shortcomings of these instruments.","PeriodicalId":37927,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management and Business Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90703722","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}

To demonstrate the purpose of maintenance in the manufacturing value chain, the study sought to investigate the relationship between machine maintenance type and quality of output as well as to establish whether machine maintenance contributes to quality of output among Ghanaian manufacturing firms. Data was collected from 150 manufacturing firms in Tema and Accra Metropolis by using questionnaire and analyzed with SPSS and SmartPLS software. The findings showed significantly direct relationship between all the maintenance types, except corrective maintenance, and quality of output. Therefore, if a company minimizes breakdown maintenance, quality defects are also minimized. Hence, adopting preventive maintenance help reduce cost of repairs and unplanned stoppages in the production process.","PeriodicalId":37927,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management and Business Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85087647","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}
