Mining this information helps to understand the customer's experience and measure customer satisfaction with hotel services. Recent studies used this approach with machine learning or language models to mine the data generated by customers on the internet. However, this approach still has some limits when wanting to understand more customer insight. This article uses linguistics rules to measure customer satisfaction by combining aspects and polarity words. In the first step, the dataset with 21,196 reviews on seven main cities in Vietnam was collected from TripAdvisor. Next, the study developed a series of formulas to measure customer satisfaction with Vietnamese hotel service aspects based on inferential statistics and linguistic rules. Python's VADER library was used to measure overall customer satisfaction for Vietnamese hotels. In the final step, by language analysis, the authors calculate and grade the satisfaction score with hotel aspects from 1 to 5. Moreover, the study discovered the negative aspects of positive reviews, while previous studies were rarely mentioned.","PeriodicalId":42947,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Asian Business and Information Management","volume":"66 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139441035","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}

However, the Shopee app has the highest user statistics in Malaysia, making it the most suitable platform for small traders like B40 (bottom 40% income) women in Malaysia. Many B40 women experience problems identifying suitable products for sale, as well as improving their product quality. A study of customer reviews to identify the most important attributes of online food products was conducted. A Shopee scraper tool was built to acquire a home-business product dataset. Fourteen attributes were analyzed, and the top five most influential attributes were identified for both positive and negative reviews. The results show that the attributes that have the highest overall impact on online home-business food sales are taste, price, appearance, and texture as well as package condition, delivery service, and free gifts. It is noted that daily snacks and side dishes to go with main meals are suitable for year-round sales, while seasonal cookies are usually in demand only during festive seasons.","PeriodicalId":42947,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Asian Business and Information Management","volume":"2 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139439643","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}

However, financial business organizations have not adequately realized the importance of CS in meeting sustainable development goals (SDGs). Thus, it is unclear how the financial sector will achieve the SDGs using CS. All 17 goals are essential, but achieving them depends on which CS issues the organization prioritizes. This study uses a qualitative case study to investigate the use of CS to achieve SDGs at financial corporations. Interviews were conducted with five respondents from City Alo, an SME banking segment of City Bank in Bangladesh, and 15 women entrepreneurs engaging with this organization to receive entrepreneurship education through a bank–university collaboration. The results show that the private banking organization achieved seven SDGs by prioritizing appropriate CS issues.","PeriodicalId":42947,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Asian Business and Information Management","volume":" 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138994660","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 results of this study highlighted that task technology fit emerged as one of the significant factors among all factors included in the model with direct and indirect effect on behavioral intention. More interestingly, effort expectancy, hedonic motivation, and cost are found to be other significant predictors of consumers' digital wallet adoption. The outcomes of this study provide valuable insights for digital wallet service providers, system developers, and governments for their strategic decision to enhance the adoption of digital wallet in the upcoming digital era.

Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the impact of department stores' price promotion strategies on consumers' repurchase intentions and what the moderation effect of perceived risks has on the relationship between price promotion and repurchase intention. The results show (1) the consistency, presentation, and information content of price promotion on the repurchase intentions have a positive and significant impact, and (2) the perceived risks would weaken the relationship of the price promotion and repurchase intention. Therefore, this study proposes related suggestions of business management strategy regarding the establishment of price consistency that customers can trust in when shopping at domestic department stores; to use different price promotion presentation methods to lock in the repurchase behavior of different customer groups; to fade the information contents of price promotions for price-oriented services; and to reduce customers' perceived risk.","PeriodicalId":42947,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Asian Business and Information Management","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139252093","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 research was aimed at developing indicators and criteria behind Thai universities' organizational digital transformation by the use of the quantitative research method and a questionnaire for data collection. The informants included administrators of six Thai universities: 303 high-level administrators, 174 middle-level administrators, and 18 low-level administrators. From the total of 495 administrators, 262 completed and returned the questionnaire. Analyses were then performed based on the statistics showing frequencies and percentages. The findings showed nine key indicators, nine sub-indicators, and 10 evaluating criteria that are appropriate for evaluating the work outcomes in the dimension of digital transformation. The most appropriate indicators were the digital strategies and personnel. The results would benefit administrators, academics, researchers, and the officers involved in deploying the work of organizational digital transformation under the educational context. The benefits would be in planning and developing the policy in digital transformation of Thai universities that is in the right direction and more clarified.

This paper aims to fill a void by exploiting data from third party agencies to study the efficiency parameters influencing financial health of MFIs (microfinance institutions). The authors use the “goodness of fit” test to find out the important factors determining the performance capabilities of microfinance institutions. Performance parameters OER (operating efficiency ratio), OSS (operational self sufficiency), ROE (return on equity), and ROA (return on assets) are tested with financial and social performance indicators to understand if any correlation exists. The study finds that the only significant factor affecting sustainability of MFIs is OER in India. OSS, ROE, and ROA had no significant impact on sustainability of these MFIs during the study period. Understanding the viability of microfinance and the factors that affect it can guide the design of policies that ensure benefits for the poor.","PeriodicalId":42947,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Asian Business and Information Management","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135093417","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}
