The brand image factor can also motivate consumer in their purchasing decision because the brand image may reflect the product itself. The purpose of this paper is to elaborate the relation between the awareness of a brand and the intention of buying a brand. There were several brand image factors highlighted in this research which is pricing, advertisement, brand name and quality of the product. A quantitative method was used through an online questionnaire in order to prove the factors that can affect the brand image in online marketing among university students. Based on the results, several factors were identified as the contributing effect on a brand image which is the price of a product, advertisement of product and the quality of a product.","PeriodicalId":39284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Enterprise Network Management","volume":"9 1","pages":"390-406"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42019875","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 this end, this study reviewed the literature related to trust in social commerce environment and proposed a framework for the antecedents of trust in social commerce. The proposed framework suggests two main components: social networking site and social company. The results supported nine hypotheses out of ten excluding the relationship between perceived-ease-of-use (PEOU) and content quality. Word-of-mouth, communication, perceived ability, after sale service, trust in transaction, and perceived usefulness were found as key factors that significantly impacted trust in social commerce. The model explained 33.2% of the variance in trust in social commerce.","PeriodicalId":39284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Enterprise Network Management","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43097814","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 attackers in WSN attack the particular node which has a low energy level and converts this node into malicious node. The formation of malicious node is the primary reason for link failures between nodes. This paper proposes an efficient methodology to detect the malicious nodes in WSN using feed forward back propagation neural network classifier. This classifier differentiates the malicious node from trusty node based on the extracted features of the test node. The performance of the proposed malicious node detection system is analysed in terms of detection rate, packet delivery ratio (PDR) and latency.

Safety audit is being performed with appropriate checklists including occupational hygiene, worker safety, storage and handling and general working conditions. Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a method that directly focuses on the modes of failure. This paper presents FTA for chance of fire accident due to leakage of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in storage yard of catering service. Correlation and regression analysis were used to get the lines of regression in order to place it in normal distribution. The probability of fire accident due to leakage of LPG is being calculated and substantial suggestions are provided.","PeriodicalId":39284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Enterprise Network Management","volume":"9 1","pages":"156-168"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45841736","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}

Due to the combinatorial in nature, it requires metaheuristic to solve these types of problems and this is a rapidly growing field of research. Here two metaheuristics such as ant colony optimisation (ACO) and simulated annealing (SA) are proposed and analysed for solving this multi-objective formulation of the vehicle routing problem. The results obtained from these two methods were compared and found that the ACO gives better results than the SA for the VRP.","PeriodicalId":39284,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Enterprise Network Management","volume":"9 1","pages":"117-128"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47007744","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 supply chain predominantly consists of four stages in a typical industry, namely: suppliers, manufacturing plants, warehouses, and retailers. Supply chain shall be viewed as multi-objective decision making problem. The objectives include minimisation of cost at suppliers, plants, warehouses and retailers. Fuzzy goal programming approach is useful to solve multi-objective decision making problems. In this paper, the multiple objectives of the supply chain are aggregated using Werner's (1998) compensation operator (γ) and compromise solutions on the decisions of the supply chain is arrived. Risk analysis is performed over the optimised model and the effect of uncertainty in terms of increase in suppliers' price is studied.
