SMI enables brands to connect with users through unique and original content, thereby expanding their reach. In response, this study examined the effects of SMI traits on purchase intention by incorporating variables, such as attitude towards brand credibility as a mediator and brand familiarity as a moderator. Specifically, researchers examined the moderated mediation role of brand familiarity on purchase intention. The conceptual model is based on source credibility and the theory of reasoned action. PLS-SEM and Process Macro analyzed the data of 454 Instagram users. Research shows that SMI trustworthiness, expertise and attitude towards brand credibility improve purchase intention. Attitudes toward brand credibility mediate attractiveness, expertise and purchase intention. Brand familiarity moderates the relationship between attitudes towards brand credibility and intention. The moderated mediation effect of brand familiarity improves the relationship between trustworthiness, expertise and purchase intention. This study contributes to the literature on influencer marketing. Furthermore, managers and practitioners can strategically benefit from this research.","PeriodicalId":53215,"journal":{"name":"FIIB Business Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48542453","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}

Based on multiple perspectives from historical research, the article divides up developments in the Indian tax system into four different governance regimes. These are the pre-colonial period (Ancient and Medieval), the colonial period (1857–1947), India as a Sovereign State under the 1950 Constitution (1950–1991) and post-economic liberalisation (1991–2020). In each of these periods, several major taxation developments that occurred in the country are reviewed, and the article highlights how different political and governance systems influenced the changes in the Indian tax system. Based on such changes and influence, the study also proposes agenda for future research. The article makes significant contributions to economic and business history research from a developing economy perspective and provides insights for any future developments in relation to tax systems.","PeriodicalId":53215,"journal":{"name":"FIIB Business Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47975583","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 regulatory changes made CSR an integral part of Indian organizations’ business plans and an important metric to assess an organization’s goodwill. However, several barriers have been observed to act as a roadblock to successfully implementing CSR in Indian service organizations. The current study identified and prioritized a set of significant barriers to the implementation of CSR. The study used the MCDM of Fuzzy DEMATEL to prioritize the identified barriers. The findings of the study suggest that ‘lack of financial resources’, ‘support from the top management’ and ‘lack of skills and knowledge’ were the most significant barriers for the Indian services organizations. The study is expected to contribute to the literature on CSR by providing a list of barriers to implementation and their relative influence when regulatory compulsion leads to CSR. For CSR managers, it aids in the decision-making process by understanding and addressing the barriers, easing the process of successfully implementing CSR in Indian service organizations.","PeriodicalId":53215,"journal":{"name":"FIIB Business Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45418069","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}

Through a thorough financial regulation, it has the potential to influence investors’ investment decisions in a company. The global financial crisis, in the past, has prompted a high level of openness worldwide since it frequently implies the quality of information disclosure. To make investment decisions, investors rely on the information provided by the firms. Hence it is crucial to have an encyclopaedic understanding of corporate disclosures. This research employs bibliometric analysis from a multi-industry approach to systematically synthesize and improve corporate transparency and disclosures. For 23 years, 410 journal articles were collected from the Scopus database between 1998 and 2021. This article highlights the publication trend and identifies the most influential work, authors, countries and journals.

{"title":"The Influence of Service Recovery Strategies on Resilience to Switching Intentions Among Customers of Commercial Banks in Tanzania: The Mediating Effect of Customer Loyalty","authors":"I. Ismail","doi":"10.1177/23197145221145761","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/23197145221145761","url":null,"abstract":"This study’s primary objective is to investigate how customer loyalty can mediate the relationship between service recovery strategies and customer switching intentions. The logic behind it is that, in today’s uncertain business environments, measuring organizational success by emphasizing customer satisfaction alone is insufficient for creating customer resilience to switching intentions. This is because satisfied customers can switch to other brands, while dissatisfied customers can repurchase. This calls for other studies to look into other factors that can be considered for successfully managing customers. Given that service failure is inevitable, it is important to look at how service recovery strategies can be used to influence resilience to switching intentions through developing customer loyalty. The study adopted a cross-sectional design in which 502 customers from commercial banks were involved, and structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to analyse the data. The SEM results show that all dimensions of service recovery, including procedural justice, distributive justice and interactional justice, are significant determinants of customer loyalty. As well, customer loyalty was a significant predictor of switching intentions. Furthermore, customer loyalty is a significant mediator of the relationship between service recovery strategy and the resilience to switching intention among customers. Finally, this study has managerial and theoretical implications for the body of literature.","PeriodicalId":53215,"journal":{"name":"FIIB Business Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48251045","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}

Securities market regulators around the world undertake market surveillance to prevent market manipulation protect investors and ensure market integrity. The Securities Exchange Board of India along with stock exchanges has implemented a novel additional surveillance measure (ASM) which tracks stocks on a daily basis for abnormal price and volume activity accompanied by the participation of market-dominating investors in trading activity. Stocks that breach predefined limits of the above parameters are categorized as ASM category and subject to overall additional margins and selective additional margins for the dominating investor. There are mainly two types of ASM, Long term additional surveillance measures (LTASM) and short-term additional surveillance measures (STASM). STASM consider a shorter duration time (5/15 days) for share price observation LTASM considers a longer duration (1 month/1 year) for screening of the stock for surveillance measures as per ASM criteria. This study is based on STASM. The mechanism, on the one hand, is expected to deter manipulators and on the other, warn investors about suspicious activity in the stock, which is not supported by fundamentals. This article analyses the impact of surveillance actions on a price return and liquidity. The article also looks at the degree of speculative activity surrounding the event. This study used regression analysis for impact assessment. The study results show that the prices of the stock stabilize after inclusion and there is an overall fall in liquidity post-inclusion. However, the liquidity impact is different for stocks with positive abnormal returns as compared to those with negative abnormal returns. The result of the study gives insight into the effectiveness of STASM which will be useful for regulators and investors to prevent market manipulations.","PeriodicalId":53215,"journal":{"name":"FIIB Business Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42673351","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":"AI and GPT for Management Scholars and Practitioners: Guidelines and Implications","authors":"S. Rana","doi":"10.1177/23197145231161408","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/23197145231161408","url":null,"abstract":"The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is quite usual in our life by now and increasing day by day (Latinovic, & Chatterjee, 2022). No doubt it has offered a large number of benefits but has also made a significant progress on raising more questions to be solved (Gevaert et al., 2021). But, to answer the related questions and move further in the right direction, it is important to understand some basic aspects related to AI and GPT. I am pleased to simplify the inference for those who would like to understand this area for further usage. One of the abilities of AI is natural language processing (NLP) and it has many use cases in management. It is a subfield of AI that deals with the interaction between computers and human language. It involves using computational techniques to enable computers to understand, analyse and generate human language. NLP is used in a wide range of applications such as sentiment analysis in investment, chatbots in customer relationship management, decision support system in retail and operations, legal, architecture, transportation and many more (Chowdhary, 2020). It involves various techniques such as statistical modelling, machine learning, and deep learning to build algorithms that can process, analyse, and generate natural language. Large language models (LLMs) are a type of NLP technology that has been gaining a lot of attention in recent years. LLMs are AI models that have been trained on massive amounts of text data, enabling them to generate human-like language and perform a wide range of language processing tasks (Schwenk, 2007). LLMs are usually trained on massive datasets, and learn patterns and structures of language without being explicitly programmed. This training process allows LLMs to generate coherent and contextually appropriate text in response to prompts. Some examples of LLM are ChatGPT by Open AI and Bard by Google. After the hype cycle of metaverse, recently, ChatGPT has captured attention in multiple forums, townhalls and debate groups. I see this as a progression from non-fungible tokens (NFTs), which is an extension of blockchain. The reason of ChatGPT hype may be that it is a tool from Open AI which is being offered in freemium model. However, my finance colleagues may relate it to the stock market prices recently experienced by Goggle and Microsoft. From a user’s perspective, you can access it using web application. As the name suggest ChatGPT is a Generalized Pre-trained Transformer (GPT), and it is pre-trained on the existing data set. The tool is trained on a dataset which is at least two years old. Hence, latency is one of the shortcoming of the GPTs. Second, a GPT is as good as the data it is trained upon (Shen et al., 2023). We should be cautious at the time of using GPT and even ChatGPT also suggests doing so. There have been LLM tools in use since last fifteen years but the adoption of ChatGPT has been phenomenal. May be it can be interesting for my marketing area colleagues to thin","PeriodicalId":53215,"journal":{"name":"FIIB Business Review","volume":"12 1","pages":"7 - 9"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43889944","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}
