The main objective is to combine three mediators - customer satisfaction (CS), customer loyalty (CL), and word of mouth (WOM) - and evaluate their effect on customer retention using YL Company, a Taiwanese chemical manufacturing company, as a case study. The proposed model's goodness-of-fit was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and SEM-AMOS. Hierarchical regression and the PROCESS macro were employed to examine mediation and moderation effects. The outcomes indicate that product quality, service quality, and price attribution act as marketing stimuli factors that significantly influence the three mediators. Relationship proneness serves as a negative moderator that impedes customer WOM and loyalty's influence on customer retention.","PeriodicalId":42947,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Asian Business and Information Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140693705","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}

Analyzing the data through exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and structural equation modeling (SEM), the results highlight positive relationships between information quantity and product ranking with EWOM adoption. However, information credibility, quality, and reviewer expertise do not directly impact adoption. EWOM adoption directly influences purchasing intention and indirectly affects it through attitude and subjective norm. The findings offer insights for managers to develop effective strategies and enhance competitiveness in the hospitality industry.","PeriodicalId":42947,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Asian Business and Information Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140721496","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}

A cointegration model is used to examine the relationship between average collection period (ACP), return on assets (ROA), firm size, and debt ratio of firms. Impulse response analysis indicates that while the other variables quickly return to equilibrium, a shock to ACP or profitability seems to have a significant and durable impact on the relationship. A GMM model has also been used to estimate a regression that shows the impact of increasing ACP on profitability. The results strongly point to a cointegrating relationship and the critical role of receivables management on profitability. The article contributes to the existing literature by providing strong evidence that the average collection period is the most critical variable in addressing control of working capital management. However, this variable is the most difficult variable to manage, especially after there is an indication that it is worsening.","PeriodicalId":42947,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Asian Business and Information Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140723769","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}

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":null,"pages":null},"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":null,"pages":null},"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}

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 (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":null,"pages":null},"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}
