And the main purpose of our investigation is to choose the six stocks and use the R-studio to analyze the data to see whether the five-factor model can be applied well in China stock market. We start our investigation by collecting data and setting up multiple linear regression models. Then we observe the correlations between the five factors and the excess returns of different stocks and test if all the values of the population parameters and some certain parameters are equal to 0. Finally, we test if multicollinearity existed. We can conclude from the analysis that HML is the most significant factor in all of the portfolios. Besides, the factor CMA has the least significance in portfolios 1 and 2 and the factor SMB is the least significant factor in the rest of the regressions of portfolios. Based on the result, we find that the five-factor model is also applicable in China stock market. So Chinese stock investors can use the five-factor model to help them achieve better investment returns.","PeriodicalId":47594,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Economics and Management","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90269964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In many emerging Asia countries, government is actively involved in firms’ internationalization. We argue that rapid OFDI expansion is more likely to increase firm performance with government support, which compensates for firms’ lack of superior internal resources and capabilities through state ownership or government affiliation. Our theories are supported by the empirical evidences from China, the largest emerging country in Asia. Our study helps us further understand the business modes of OFDI from emerging economies in Asia.","PeriodicalId":47594,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Economics and Management","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87370660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the Stimulus Organism Response (SOR) model, survey data from 191 viewers with live streaming buying experience in China were collected by using a survey questionnaire method, and the research hypotheses were tested by using moderated regression analysis and Bootstrapping methods. The study’s findings suggest that the four dimensions of social presence have positive effects on impulse buying behavior. Both perceived enjoyment and perceived value play a partial mediating role in the relationship of “social presence → impulse buying behavior” and there are significant differences between the two intermediary paths. The four dimensions of social presence have differentiated influences on perceived enjoyment, perceived value and impulse buying behavior. The research results of this paper will help streamers and merchants to understand the specific operational path of social presence to promote the emergence of consumer impulse buying behavior, and provide effective marketing suggestions for live streaming commerce companies and managers.","PeriodicalId":47594,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Economics and Management","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84716629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper aimed to provide empirical evidence on the relationship between board attributes and CSR and between CSR and corporate financial performance of Chinese technology-listed companies. The data from 2011 to 2020 was obtained from the database systems of CSMAR, Bloomberg and Wind. A total of 2,726 listed technology companies in China were gathered. The data were analyzed by CSR metrics in the form of ESG scores using OLS regression analysis and fixed effect regression models. The findings report that Board independence is a strong driving force of CSR performance, whereas board gender has a significant negative impact on CSR performance. The correlation between board attendance and CSR performance is insignificant. CEO duality has a negative impact on CSR performance. The results highlight the importance of CSR performance which can promote corporate financial performance. This study fills up the gap in CSR related research in the technology industry and offer more evidence for further research between board diligence and CSR. The study presents feasible suggestions for enterprises in the Chinese technology industry to improve operation and management by providing theoretical and practical implications, to guide regulators and Chinese technology-listed companies in ensuring the sustainable development of the sector.","PeriodicalId":47594,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Economics and Management","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79373189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through interviews and expert opinions, this article extracts eight loyalty determinants and 25 estimated performance indexes to adapt the loyalty assessment dimensions of this industry. This article innovatively combines Partial Least Squares-Based Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) to quantify the extent of influence of each determinant on loyalty and to provide guidance for the prioritization of actions. The advantage of combining the two models is identifying the company’s weaknesses and quantifying the effects of improvements. Data were collected through questionnaires, and SmartPLS 4.0 was used to verify the proposed hypothesis. The analysis concludes that the company should improve the quality of certificate reports in the short term and provide more added value for customers in the long term. The model has a substantial application value and enables companies to identify problems, prevent business churn, optimize their overall management system, and improve market competitiveness.","PeriodicalId":47594,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Economics and Management","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80966931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, family firm governance (FFG) has attracted extensive attention as increasing empirical research has been published. However, few studies have attempted to map the global research on this growing field. In this paper, a comprehensive literature review and bibliometric analysis are conducted to provide an overview of the FFG. A total of 626 relevant studies from the Web of Sciences Core Collection database between 1998 and 2020 are analyzed. First, based on a literature review by identifying the classification of FFG and topics related to family governance, an overall conceptual structure is proposed. Second, the performance and influence of journals, authors and papers are analyzed by descriptive bibliometric analysis. Finally, with assistance from the CiteSpace and VoS viewer tools, the co-authorship, co-occurrence and co-citation network are presented to display the social and intellectual structure and find the hotspots. The findings of this study help to objectively understand the evolution of FFG and to capture potential research directions.","PeriodicalId":47594,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Economics and Management","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84383444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
