To validate knowledge extraction, we analyze relevant metaverse news from TechCrunch.com, covering 2020 to 2023, to build the domain knowledge schema. This study introduces a novel approach that combines Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling with bibliometrics as a computational intelligent method to discover topics and construct knowledge based on technology news framing. LDA is used to identify the topics in metaverse news, while a bibliometrics method, i.e., co-word networks analysis, clarifies term association strength and visualizes the findings. The study outlines the seven key elements highlighted in technology journalism, which shape public perception and expectations of new technologies. These elements offer insights into the factors influencing the development, diffusion, and adoption of new technologies. The extracted representative terms and enterprises from eight topics help map the knowledge architecture diagram for the domain. The research contributes to helping stakeholders systematically understand metaverse technology topics and demonstrate collaborative partnerships between enterprises.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46001,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Management Review","volume":"29 4","pages":"Pages 369-383"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143308265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data from Thomson Reuters Eikon for 32 automobile companies, spanning 2005 to 2021, were analyzed, with the companies categorized into medium (15) and larger-sized (17) classifications. The study employed random and fixed effect models and utilized Hausman specification tests to validate the consistency and efficiency of the fixed effect model against the random effect model. To address endogeneity, a two-step robust GMM methodology was applied. Results revealed intriguing findings: board gender diversity and meetings had a negative and insignificant impact on ESG performance, while non-executive directors had a detrimental and significant effect. Conversely, board size, educational background, CEO dual roles, and independent board members positively and significantly influenced ESG performance in these automobile companies. Given the significant impact identified, it is recommended to reconsider the composition of non-executive directors. A more balanced approach could mitigate the observed detrimental effect on ESG performance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46001,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Management Review","volume":"29 4","pages":"Pages 397-414"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143354393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

South Korea—which launched the world's first 5G service in 2019—had 32 million 5G subscribers by 2023. However, due to issues such as poor service quality, the lack of compelling services, and inadequate network infrastructure relative to initial projections, subscriber growth has been slower than expected. In this paper, we analyze the deployment of 5G and its business models in vital fields like smart factories and digital healthcare, which are expected to play crucial roles in propelling the industry forward. The business model canvas (BMC) framework is employed to identify essential factors for industry revitalization, major challenges, and future strategies. The analysis reveals that the provision of ultra-broadband and low-latency services has been hindered by delays in deploying services at 28 GHz, crucial for advancing the convergence industry. Enhancing the use of the 28 GHz wireless network would enable critical services for smart factories and digital healthcare, such as mobile edge computing, machine vision, telemedicine, and AI-driven medical applications. Furthermore, it is determined that strategies for revitalization at the government level need urgent implementation, contrasting with the current, less effective sandbox-level strategies. The empirical findings of this study allow for an assessment of why 5G subscriber growth lags behind that of 4G, and assist in the formulation of effective policies. Additionally, this data can serve as a foundation for planning strategies to stimulate the convergence industry using future B5G and 6G networks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46001,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Management Review","volume":"29 4","pages":"Pages 462-476"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143308578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a sample size of 567 respondents, the data analysis method employed in this study is Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Partial Least Squares (PLS). The results reveal the driving factors affecting consumer adoption intention in metaverse commerce. The study identifies perceived technological, regulatory, and cyber risks as significant barriers to consumer adoption intention in metaverse commerce. Conversely, the findings highlight the importance of performance and effort expectancy, perceived herd behaviour, hedonic motivation, and consumer innovativeness as key enablers driving consumer adoption intention in metaverse commerce. Interestingly, subjective norms were found to have an insignificant effect in this context. This research contributes to understanding consumer behaviour in the emerging field of metaverse commerce and provides valuable insights for practitioners and policymakers. The identified barriers and enablers can guide strategic decision-making, allowing businesses to address consumer concerns and capitalize on the factors that drive adoption intention in this novel environment.

Although historical stock prices and financial news have been widely used in previous studies, it is relatively rare to find research considering news-based, technical, and chip factors simultaneously and evaluating their combined effect. In this study, we innovatively propose a multi-kernel model that not only combines news-based, technical, and chip factor analysis but also utilizes market data provided by the Taiwan Stock Exchange, including institutional trading situations and stock price technical indicators. The aim is to further enhance the prediction accuracy of stock price dynamics. Based on the frequency of word occurrences, we design a new discriminant index to extract features highly correlated with stock prices from financial news. The empirical results show that our multi-kernel model significantly surpasses the single-kernel model in prediction accuracy. However, we also find that although financial news is somewhat correlated with stock price dynamics, information such as chip factors and stock price technical indicators contribute more significantly in our model. This further validates that our multi-kernel learning algorithm can effectively handle multifaceted data sources and give appropriate weights according to the importance of each data point, thereby enhancing the comprehensiveness of prediction.
