{"title":"Impact of the Zambian Government’s Liberalized Bulk Petroleum Products Procurement Policy on Service Efficiency and Effectiveness: A Case Study of the Ministry of Energy","authors":"Sharon Mwansa, C. C. Hapompwe","doi":"10.47191/jefms/v7-i7-64","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47191/jefms/v7-i7-64","url":null,"abstract":"The study assessed how Zambian Government’s Liberalized Bulk Petroleum Products Procurement Policy affected service efficiency and effectiveness through the Ministry of Energy as a government agent in Lusaka, Zambia. It focused on important factors like efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and service quality while examining the policy itself along with competition and transparency. In carrying out this examination, the following objectives were set; to assess the efficiency of procurement processes under the Liberalized Bulk Petroleum Products Procurement Policy, focusing on factors such as transparency, timeliness, and cost-effectiveness, to examine the extent to which liberalization has facilitated perfect competition among suppliers in the bulk petroleum industry in Zambia, and to analyse the effects of government’s procurement liberalization policy on quality of service and value. To gather comprehensive insights, the researcher conducted in-depth interviews with 10 senior managers from key organizations in Zambia's petroleum sector. Alongside this qualitative approach, the researcher distributed questionnaires to 49 Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) to gather quantitative perspectives with 44 being returned representing 89.8%. The sampling technique used was non-probability purposive sampling for qualitative data, and for quantitative data involving OMCs (Oil Marketing Companies), simple random sampling was used. The thematic analysis helped in interpreting the qualitative data, while SPSS supported statistical analysis of the quantitative findings. The research revealed that while the policy led to some improvements in transparency, achieving full transparency across procurement processes remained challenging. Competition among suppliers became more diverse post-liberalization, but achieving perfect competition proved difficult, affecting both cost-effectiveness and service quality in various ways. After liberalization, there was an observation of mixed outcomes in service quality and value, with concerns particularly around adherence to standards and the reliability of supplies. In conclusion, the study highlighted the complex impacts of Zambia's liberalization policy on its petroleum sector. In recommendation, it emphasizes the need to strengthen transparency, streamline operations, and implement effective cost management strategies to maintain positive procurement outcomes and enhance service effectiveness. These insights are vital for shaping future policy reforms aimed at fostering a more competitive, efficient, and effective procurement environment in Zambia's petroleum industry.","PeriodicalId":509310,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS, FINANCE AND MANAGEMENT STUDIES","volume":"79 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141798350","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 research aims to analyze the factors influencing consumers to purchase environmentally friendly beauty products. Based on quantitative data processing using SMART PLS, it was found that there are two main factors that influence consumers' considerations to purchase environmentally friendly beauty products, namely green product knowledge and green perceived value. Furthermore, the perception of social media also mediates the relationship between green product knowledge and green perceived quality towards green beauty products purchase intention. Thus, eco-friendly beauty companies can effectively communicate their environmentally friendly attributes and product value propositions, thereby shaping consumer behavior towards more sustainable choices.","PeriodicalId":509310,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS, FINANCE AND MANAGEMENT STUDIES","volume":"82 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141798331","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}

{"title":"Financial Synchronicities in European Union's Rijekosijek Region: A Transgressively Nonlinear Econometric Approach","authors":"Domagoj Sajter","doi":"10.47191/jefms/v7-i7-58","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47191/jefms/v7-i7-58","url":null,"abstract":"The purpose of this paper is to delve into the intricate and abstruse dynamics of Croatia’s financial ecosystem through the application of novel econometric methodologies. The central research question we explore is: How do transgressively nonlinear econometric models encapsulate the hyperbolic discounting phenomena within the Croatian fiscal framework? The importance of this paper lies in its potential to redefine traditional econometric paradigms by integrating quantum financial concepts, fractal dynamics, and stochastic synchronicities. This interdisciplinary approach contributes to the existing body of literature by offering a novel perspective on the financial abstractions that govern Croatia’s economy. Methodologically, utilizing data from the FRED database, covering variables such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI), Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Unemployment Rate (U), 10-Year Treasury Constant Maturity Rate (IR), and U.S./Euro Foreign Exchange Rate (FX), the study employs a sophisticated system of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) to model these interactions. This innovative approach allows for the deconstruction of Croatia’s fiscal questions, providing deeper insights into the stochastic behaviour and quantum financial structures of its economy. The key conclusions of this paper underscore the inherent paradoxes and fiscal idiosyncrasies that characterize the Croatian economy. We find that Croatian financial markets are governed by underlying synchronicities that, while appearing random, follow a pattern of stochastic oscillations and fractal dynamics. This realization challenges conventional economic postulates and highlights the need for a paradigm shift in financial analysis.","PeriodicalId":509310,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS, FINANCE AND MANAGEMENT STUDIES","volume":"2 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141797309","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}
