In Bangladesh, the popularity of Facebook-based social commerce (“f-commerce”) has created new opportunities for women entrepreneurs, including in the market for agri-foods. To gain insights into consumer attitudes towards f-commerce, and specifically towards women entrepreneurs in this market, this paper presents findings from five online audio-visual focus-group discussions with forty-one consumers from Dhaka, Bangladesh about their perceptions of women f-commerce entrepreneurs selling rice and shrimp. Qualitative content analysis was used for data analysis. The results indicate that convenience is the main general reason for consumers purchasing from f-commerce platforms. Consumers are also attracted by the availability of rice from preferred growing areas and ready-to-cook shrimp on these platforms. Product quality, service, and price are found to be the most important purchase criteria, while reviews and recommendations influence consumers' purchase decisions and build trust in f-commerce entrepreneurs. While consumers appreciate that f-commerce provides economic opportunities for women, product quality and service are more important than gender in deciding which seller to buy from, meaning women entrepreneurs must meet consumer expectations to succeed in the f-commerce agri-food market. The research findings provide valuable suggestions for women entrepreneurs which is of great importance to adapt to consumers' demand as well as to enter the f-commerce market.</p>","PeriodicalId":46610,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Information Systems in Developing Countries","volume":"91 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/isd2.70021","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144244856","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}

However, its environmental footprint has raised concerns, particularly in developing economies where sustainability initiatives face structural and resource constraints. Green IS holds promise in addressing these challenges, yet their successful implementation in higher education institutions (HEIs) remains uncertain due to complex technological, organizational, and environmental (TOE) factors. This research examines the relatively unexplored realm of TOE factors influencing green information systems practices (GISP). The study utilized an online survey questionnaire to gather data from 166 HEIs in an emerging economy. It employed partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze the hypothesized relationships. The results indicate that GISP adoption is primarily influenced by compatibility, security concerns (environmental factors), organizational readiness, top management support, employee capability (organizational factors), government support, and competitive pressure (environmental factors). This study contributes to the IS literature by extending the TOE framework and providing novel insights into GISP within the HEI sector. Beyond its theoretical contributions, the study offers practical insights into how HEIs in resource-constrained settings can navigate sustainability transitions. It highlights the pivotal role of top management in driving sustainable decision-making and emphasizes the strategic allocation of TOE resources as essential for the effective implementation of GISP. The findings are particularly relevant for policymakers, HEI administrators, and stakeholders seeking to integrate IS for sustainable development.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":46610,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Information Systems in Developing Countries","volume":"91 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144118206","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, there is limited understanding of how such online movements mobilize public sentiment and drive societal change. This study addresses this gap by employing netnography, a methodology suited to understanding online activities and communities, to investigate the role of Twitter (X) as a tool for social activism. Social activism is used to describe particular efforts taken to effect change, frequently through digital channels. The #Fixthecountry campaign specifically serves as a case study, which illustrates the rise of digital social activism in Ghana. The data we analyzed using Python to understand the implications for societal good and social activism were the result of over 1 million tweets gathered through the Twitter API. The findings highlight that digital platforms, particularly Twitter, can potentially amplify marginalized voices and foster inclusive dialogue. We provide a three-fold contribution in this paper. First, methodological insights into the promotion of social activism by employing netnography as a tool for dissecting the digital landscape of Ghana. Second, guidelines to inform policy development based on the findings from the analysis. Third and most importantly, we contribute rich insights into societal good through digital means and show how marginalization can be tackled by giving voice to individuals through social media.
