EO influences the manner in which entrepreneurs perceive and react to their business environment. The majority of research on EO has been conducted in developed countries such as the USA, where institutional development is well established. There is a scarcity of studies focusing on emerging economies. In order to bridge this gap, the current study aims to investigate the construct and application of EO in Pakistan. The study focuses on Pakistan’s electric fan manufacturing industry to gain insight into the implementation of EO and its impact on the performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in emerging economies. In addition, the study aims to provide evidence-based knowledge regarding the causal relationship between EO and SME performance in Pakistan, as well as the impact of moderating variables, through hierarchical regression analysis and an analysis of a sample of 247 SMEs. The study provides solid evidence that Pakistan's electric fan manufacturing industry demonstrates all five dimensions of EO, as outlined in the existing literature. Furthermore, the study highlights the influence of age, education, and experience as moderating variables in the relationship between EO dimensions and the performance of SMEs in Pakistan.","PeriodicalId":505986,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Business & Management Studies","volume":"11 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141652378","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 data we use combine Environmental Performance metrics with sustainable development goals agreed by United Nation members. Using data mining techniques, we found two clusters that cross-out geographical boundaries for 2022 and 2012. One cluster dominates the other in all environmental indicators but environmental health, and their differences increased in the last 10 years. Based on our findings, we recommend countries in both clusters to focus on environmental policies that improve environmental health and climate change conditions, but at different rates. These environmental policy recommendations have positive multiplier effects on poverty, health, gender, inequality, and economic progress.","PeriodicalId":505986,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Business & Management Studies","volume":"90 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141652771","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}

Theoretical background of active management has been established by Fundamental Law of Active Management. The main postulate of this law suggests that in order to achieve additional return alpha, investors should apply a model with higher forecasting power (IC) and should apply it to a maximum number of assets (breadth). Individual investors are attracted by this straightforward and uncomplicated logic and that is the reason why active management is so popular strategy among them. However, the original and later developed variants of the law lead to the same conclusion – for better results the forecasting model must be applied to as many as possible assets. However, this contradicts with the concentration paradox which investors meet in their investment decisions – applying the same forecasting model to maximum amount of assets results in involving unknown assets with diverse characteristics in analysis. With contextual approach we change this perspective. By applying a contextual approach to active management investors can concentrate the forecasting models to a specific group of assets with similar characteristics. We justify the existence of concentration paradox and by using different fundamental contexts to differentiate stocks in different groups, we test fundamental cross-sectional regression models as forecasting models for active investment. With data from Taiwan Stock market we prove that both ex-ante IC and realized return achieved with contextual models outperform the general portfolios which follow the standard postulate of fundamental law.","PeriodicalId":505986,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Business & Management Studies","volume":"61 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141653300","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 investigates the effect that electronic procurement (e-procurement) has on the operational success and effectiveness of supply management in the manufacturing sector in Kenya. The objective of this research is to evaluate the influence of e-supplier appraisal, electronic resource planning (ERP), and electronic order processing on the supply management outcomes and performance within the select firms. The goal of this investigation is to establish a conceptual model and define three key dimensions that include e-supplier appraisal, e-order processing, and electronic resource planning. The research methodology employs descriptive research, utilizing a sample size of 120 participants that were be chosen using stratified sampling methodology. The acquisition of primary data was facilitated by employing questionnaires of which 92 respondents participated. The gathered data was subjected to analysis using SPSS statistical software and subsequently presented in the form of graphical representations and tabular formats. Furthermore, a regression analysis was administered to ascertain the correlation between e-procurement dimensions and supply management results. The results showed that e-supplier appraisal, electronic resource planning, and e-order processing had significant effects on supply management performance.","PeriodicalId":505986,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Business & Management Studies","volume":"16 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141654180","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}

Rebalance Your Investment Portfolio Periodically: Mantra or Myth? 定期重新平衡您的投资组合：咒语还是神话？

This research examines the equity portion of a well-diversified investment portfolio and shows that the “numbers” just don’t support the mantra. In fact, this research indicates that traditional rebalancing is the worst strategy, on a risk adjusted basis, for long-term portfolio growth when compared to three other strategies. While the mantra has intuitive appeal, it does not make financial sense. A very popular portfolio strategy is to execute rebalancing of the equity portfolio periodically, generally every 12 months – for example selling the overperformers. Recent research has noted investors utilizing this strategy may be depriving themselves of the gains that extend beyond one year (Clements 2005 and Constable 2021). Thus, limiting the equity portion of an investment portfolio to passive, low-cost S&P 500 Index fund and avoiding more costly rebalancing strategies in the longer term typically results in both greater reruns for the level of risk and lower fees than the cost of continuous rebalancing.","PeriodicalId":505986,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Business & Management Studies","volume":"19 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140250445","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}
