    Get PDF
    Recently, China’s e-commerce has entered a period of rapid development. The government has also shown their support towards this advancement in the financial sector. Therefore, a study to analyze the effect of cross-border e-commerce on international trade of emerging countries in the case of China has been proposed. Pearson correlation coefficient is used as the research methodology to study the relationship between the two variables. There are not many literatures which focus on the impacts of e-commerce toward International trade. Crossborder e-commerce is of great significance to emerging countries’ development. The result of this research shows that there is no significant relationship between cross-border e-commerce and international trade in the case of China. One possible cause of this is the lack of data as cross-border e-commerce is relatively new. Therefore, further research has to be carried out to find out the underlying relationship of these 2 variables which will help the government in taking beneficial measures for the country’s future international trade development

    The interest of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) scores is increasing in both academic research and industry practices. Previous studies have examined the effects of ESG scores on the operating and market performance of firms but have found mixed results. The objective of this study is to provide a preliminary analysis of the effect of ESG scores on financial performances of the Korean multi- business group conglomerates, the Chaebols. Using a panel sample for fixed/random effects models, this study investigates a sample of the largest 41 Chaebol firms with a total of 246 observations during the period of 2014–2019. Our results showed that the governance score of the firm has a positive effect on financial performance. Further, we analyzed the factors affecting governance scores of the firm in relation to board characteristics. Out of four independent variables, three showed significant results. These are CEO duality, the board size, and the average age of board members of the firms. The results remain consistent and significant after robustness testing

    Friendly locals and clean streets? – Evaluating Jakarta’s destination brand image

    Get PDF
    Destination image and city branding are accumulating a growing body of knowledge in urban studies and tourism literature. Although several visitor destination image models have been proposed, the most prevalent in Asia remains the comprehensive destination image model. This is the first research to test the applicability of this model beyond the United States and with in-ternational (rather than domestic) visitors. Jakarta is chosen as the geographical test area for this study, which incorporates structural equation modeling on a data sample of international leisure visitors in Jakarta. The findings indicate that the destination image model could be generalized beyond the US and applied to Jakarta. This study finds that tourism policymakers in Jakarta should focus on promoting the friendliness of local residents and improving the city’s cleanliness, as these are the two most positive and negative perceptions. Overall, this study showed that a unique destination image—a largely under-researched topic in place branding—is a variable that should be considered when formulating the overall place image of city destinations around the world
