Factors Affecting Export Performance in the Context of Strategic Management: Proposal of a Theoretical Model Kalaycıoğlu, Ozan; Türk Eximbank Keskin, Halit Export Performance, Resource Based View, Firm Capabilities, Competitive Strategies Exporting attracts attention as an international sales activity, which has been studied by the country’s economic managements, firm managers and academic researchers as it reduces the current deficit by providing foreign exchange inflow in economy and has positive effects on the profitability indicators at the firm level. Though there are many studies on the factors that affect export performance of firms, in the literature, most of the studies are not theoretical. For firms, export activity is the most common strategic option to access to the international markets. Considering the export activity from the strategic management perspective provides a high prediction in terms of understanding the factors that affect export performance. In this study, the factors that affect export activity of the firms are examined from the strategic management perspective within the scope of the theoretical approaches presented in the literature. In this regard, the effects of competitive strategies within the scope of the industrial organization theory, and of firm resources and capabilities within the scope of the resource-based view on export performance are discussed, and a theoretical model has been presented.

Child Care for Parents Works in Human Rights Ajizi, Cindy Audiya; Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Surabaya Afifah, Wiwik Law Child care, parents, work, caregiving Human right Child care places in Indonesia are very much needed for working parents. The availability of child care places is a form of the state's obligation to fulfill the rights of its citizens. The absence of regulations regarding child care for working parents is one of the problems that can hinder both working parents and children's growth and development. This research uses normative juridical and empirical juridical research methods which use a statutory approach, a conceptual approach and a legal sociology approach. Human Rights are based on universal principles such as dignity, equality, freedom and justice. Human Rights aims to protect and respect the basic rights of every individual without regard to race, religion, sex, color, language, political opinion, national or social origin, property, birth, or other status. This is considered a right inherent in humans from birth and cannot be taken away. The same is true with the right to obtain care for children and also the right to obtain work for parents. These two rights are in conflict because there is no means to fulfill the necessary rights for children and parents. To exercise these rights, the state is obliged to provide child care which is the answer to obstacles that arise in the household and work sectors.

The alternative is to create a governance model that supports strategic management innovation, where innovation becomes an ongoing strategy to address efficiency goals and simplification of procedures across the public sector. The underlying philosophy is to develop an organization's ability to systematically improve the output of services provided to the public. Legal research in this study uses normative research. The omnibus method is appropriate, meets the requirements and is urgent to be used in the formation of Regional Regulations, which philosophically will provide benefits and legal certainty through the arrangement and consolidation of regulations. Theoretically, omnibus is an alternative method in order to improve and simplify regional regulations because it can change, revoke and form several regional regulations into one regional regulation.

The EU-Korea Panel Peport: A Watershed Moment for the Trade-Labor Nexus or Mere Symbolic Victory? Koen, Louis; University of Johannesburg, South Africa Rammila, Davy; University of South Africa Law; trade law; labor law trade, core labor standards, freedom of association There have been increased calls to link international trade law more pertinently with labor and environmental standards in recent years. This has seen a rise in the number of regional trade agreements incorporating labor standards. However, states have long appeared to be reluctant to seek enforcement of the labor standards through trade agreements. The EU-Korea panel report, considered in this contribution, is the first trade panel to hold a state to have breached labor standards in a trade agreement. This contribution reflects on this important decision and what it means for the trade-labor nexus in the future. However, this contribution also acknowledges the lack of enforcement mechanisms and questions whether trade tribunals with limited enforcement powers will be any more successful than the ILO in promoting compliance with international labor standards.

Understanding the Cognitive Dissonance on Women Post-Purchase Behavior Mert, İbrahim Sani Glai, Rihab Şen, Cem Cognitive dissonance, women, consumer behavior, post-purchase, impulse buying, and purchase decision Consumer behavior study has become relevant in the present marketing and sociology studies. Several characteristics, specificities, and factors influence the customer, especially the woman in her decision-making process, preferences, buying behavior, the products she buys, and the stores or retailers where she goes. In addition, the cognitive dissonance theory is mostly used to explain consumer behavior, focusing on the dilemmas faced during various stages of purchasing behavior. Hence, the study aims to investigate the state of cognitive dissonance after a buying decision was made for Tunisian women. Specifically, it provides an overview of the decision-making patterns of women and the stage of their reaction after the buying process according to their psychographic, socioeconomic, and behavioral characteristics. For this research, a quantitative survey was used as a method to collect primary data in Tunisia from 402 women. This questionnaire was conducted among the women who had recently purchased a luxury apparel product. A multidimensional scale was used to measure the magnitude of dissonance for females, besides two other constructs were additionally added which are the impulsive buying and the purchasing decision involvement. The results show that there is no significant difference in the levels of cognitive dissonance due to demographic factors such as age, marital status, and employee status for all women, while it had a positive bearing on emotional dissonance amongst all women. There is also no significant effect for the impulse buying and the purchase decision on post-purchase dissonance. The findings of this research indicate that most of the women were satisfied with their last purchases and therefore, the level of cognitive dissonance is low. Hence, one key aim of this research is to demonstrate the harmony within cognitive and behavioral systems that can be adjudged as a part of the human condition.

Security Alternatives of Sea Waybill and Straight Bill of Lading Ziakas, Vasileios Sea waybill, equitable pledge, NODISP, straight bill of lading Apart from the traditional bill of lading, numerous shipping documents have emerged relatively recently trying to offer a satisfactory solution to the bill’s crisis. Among them, sea waybills are very commonly used in contemporary transport operations, especially when bills of lading are not suitable and useful. In front of this development, many inquiries seem to arise, to which this article seeks to answer. In other words, the aim of this article is to analyse whether the sea waybill can provide security to lenders, such as banks, and to what extent. Answering to that question, the next inquiry is whether the straight bill of lading is tantamount to sea waybill or the traditional bill of lading, whatever this means regarding the legal implications, including, of course, the level of the furnished security.

Store Atmosphere Strategies and their Effects on Purchase Intention Çolak, Fazlı Uğur Çengel, Özgür Foreign Trade store atmosphere, purchase intention, music, lighting, customer Retailers must continually adjust to the realities due to the fast speed of today's society, which brings with it constant changes in fashion trends, technology advancements, and also the modification of lifestyle. Even though such improvements and adjustments are unnecessary, they must be made in order to keep the store attractive or to modernize the technical infrastructure and lower operating energy usage in the face of competition from new, similarly minded businesses. The functioning of the retail operation is heavily influenced by the architectural and design solution, where the customer must first arrive at the store, which then needs to draw them in and persuade them to make a purchase. Recent years have seen a rise in the importance of the shopping environment. Many stores rely on the fact that they have the most comfortable atmosphere, which forces the customer to stay in the store as long as possible. Sellers also try to make shopping an experience, making it necessary for the customer to feel satisfied in the store. Shopping atmosphere and control can help higher customer satisfaction. It is therefore very important to monitor the key factors that affect the atmosphere in the store. This article examines selected elements of the shopping atmosphere and its impact on consumers in electronic markets operating in Turkey, Germany, and England. It integrates research, survey, and observation into real terms of selected retail operations. Based on the findings, the conclusion on adapting selected factors influencing the atmosphere is proposed to improve the overall well-being of customers and thus their satisfaction during shopping.

The Nature and Urgency of the Omnibus Method Regulation in Law Number 13 Of 2022 Nurfransiska, Ferika; Faculty Of Law Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Surabaya Warka, Made; Faculty Of Law Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Surabaya Hadi, Syofyan; Faculty Of Law Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Surabaya law omnibus method, justice, regulation law The omnibus concept is intended to offer a solution to problems caused by too many regulations (over regulation) and frequent overlapping between regulations (overlapping). Both of these problems are not easy to solve in the usual way, because it will take a long time and a lot of money. In order to overcome these problems, the omnibus method is considered one of the responsive and progressive methods in solving the problems of over regulation and overlapping in Indonesia. The implementation of this research applies normative legal methods. There are several factors that cause too many regulations to be born in our country. First, many people think that every legal problem can be resolved by forming a regulation. Second, every examiner in carrying out their duties and functions always questions the existence or absence of regulations that serve as a legal umbrella or as a basis. Third, in determining the budget, the Ministry of Finance also often passes or does not pass the budget of ministries/institutions based on the existence or absence of regulations as a legal umbrella. The nature and urgency of the omnibus method regulation in Law 13 of 2022 concerning the Second Amendment to Law 12 of 2011 concerning the Formation of Legislation (PPP Law), when viewed with Aristotle's approach that the essence of law exists because of causality, the omnibus method regulation in the PPP Law is more inclined to be caused by the existence of a goal (causa finalis).

The Impact of Public Education Expenditures on Graduate Unemployment: Cointegration Analysis to Ethiopia Dachito, Amsalu Chigeto; Jimma University Alemu, Minyahil Alemu, Berhanu Unemployment is amongst most pressing economic challenges the Ethiopian economy has long been experiencing. Though the country succeeded in targeting overall unemployment most recently, graduate unemployment continued trending at higher rates over the years. We examined the impact of government education spending on the rate of graduate unemployment in Ethiopia, using yearly series of data over the periods spanning from 1991to 2019. The results of Augmented Dickey Fuller test revealed difference stationarity for all series of interest; while the suggested order of integration was one. The results of Johnson’s cointegration test indicated the existence of long-run equilibrium relationships among the variables entered the test model. In determining the impacts of inflation rate (CPI), economic growth (RGDP) and public education spending on graduate unemployment, we employed Vector Error Correction Model as it enables us capture the short-run and long-run outputs instantaneously. According to VECM regression results, inflation rate and expenditure on education were found to have significant impact on the long-run growth rate of graduate unemployment. While the inflation rate contributed positively, government expenditure has negative influence on the rate of graduate unemployment towards validating the Keynesian theory of employment. Besides, the impacts of both variables were found to persist in the short-run. Both are estimated significant and consistent in sign in the short-run. However, economic growth was found to have a trivial role in explaining the rate of graduate unemployment in both the short-run and the long-run periods. Moreover, the results of VEC causality analysis revealed a significant unidirectional causality running from economic growth towards public funds available for financing education; but no causality was suggested in reverse. We recommend a drastic measure to advance the education sector through suitable investments in a manner that will help in skills development, productivity enhancement and entrepreneurship growth.

Brand Management Internationalization: Case Study of Nike Bekheir Nia, Neginsadat; ISTANBUL TICARET UNIVERSITY Global branding relies on brand management internationalization, which is critical to building and managing brands beyond national boundaries. This requires developing brand strategies that address the specific needs and preferences of international markets while maintaining the brand's essential values and character. Various theories and models have been proposed to guide brand management internationalization, including the standardization-adaptation debate, the cultural dimensions theory, the brand identity model, etc. As a case study, Nike is a well-known global brand that has managed its international brand image through effective brand management strategies. Nike's success in international markets is due to its ability to balance standardization and adaptation in its brand management approach. Nike has also successfully leveraged cultural differences across international markets to create emotional connections with consumers. The use of technology and digital platforms has also played a significant role in Nike's brand management and internationalization efforts. Overall, brand management internationalization is a critical aspect of global marketing that requires a deep understanding of international markets, cultural differences, and consumer behavior. By leveraging the appropriate theories and models, companies like Nike can successfully navigate the challenges of international brand management and create strong global brands that resonate with consumers across different geographies.

Under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), China’s Green Investments in African Countries Chang, Yunxin; Istanbul Ticaret University Özcan, Yunus; Istanbul Ticaret University International Trade Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), World Economy, China’s Green Investments, African Economies The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has been growing its economic impact on all over the world since the declaration of Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2013. This initiative had been considered as a highly ambitious global initiative aimed at stimulating economic growth across Europe, Asia, and Africa. As of February 2025, there are 152 countries involved in the BRI initiative and a considerable number of African countries also take part in this initiative to be able to foster their economic condition along with this giant economic movement. To investigate the effects of China's BRI investments in African countries with an environmental approach, this study examines China’s green investments in African countries between 2013 and 2023, by using data from the China Global Investment Tracker, and employing descriptive statistical analysis. Focusing on 21 African BRI countries, green BRI investments from aspects of yearly trend, country distribution and sector allocation are analyzed. In the process of separating BRI investment records into green and non-green categories, it is found that green investments have grown rapidly around world over the decade, compared to non-green ones. The findings also indicate the recent years have witnessed an annual stabilization of 30% green investment. These green investments demonstrate a strategic emphasis on “resource acquisition and infrastructure building” with investments concentrated in resource-rich countries to secure essential minerals such as lithium and uranium, while simultaneously developing clean energy projects and infrastructure. Therefore, while these investments can foster sustainable development in African countries, they also pose environmental risks through mining investments, which require robust environmental assessments and governance to avoid Pollution Heaven problems.

Enhancing Supply Chain Integration and Performance through Information and Communication Technology Sallwa, Alfred Ain; College of Business Education, Tanzania. supply chain integration, ICT, supply chain perfromance While the significance of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) adoption in business operations has been steadily growing, its impact on supply chain integration (SCI) and supply chain performance (SCP) remains unclear in the existing body of literature. This paper seeks to evaluate the influence of ICT adoption on SCI and SCP, delving into the presence of mediator and moderator variables. Using survey data collected from 259 participants in the dairy supply chain in Iringa, Tanzania, this quantitative study employs structural equation modeling to examine the impact of ICT adoption on SCI and performance, as well as to explore the role of SCI as a mediating factor and the moderating effect of age, gender, skills, and education level. The findings indicate that ICT adoption has no significant direct impact on SCP, as this relationship is entirely mediated by the three levels of SCI (SI, II, and CI), revealing how this connection is influenced by skills and education level. The study offers a comprehensive exploration of ICT adoption within the context of food processing supply chain performance, demonstrating how companies can harness the benefits of ICT adoption through SCI. It also underscores that ICT adoption alone does not enhance S CP; rather it is in tandem with a stable SCI that such improvements can be realized.

The Role of Delivery Reliability on Port Supply Chain Performance at Zanzibar Port Corporation Migoda, Mwagori Harona; College of Business Mwalukasa, Boniface E; College of Business Education Tanzania Management and Procurement and Supply Chain Management Government Policy, performance ,operational efficiency JEL Classication Delivery reliability is a critical determinant of port supply chain performance, many developing ports continue to face operational inefficiencies that undermine their competitiveness. Zanzibar Port Corporation, which handles over 95% of the island’s trade, experiences persistent challenges in timely and accurate cargo delivery. These inefficiencies result in delays and reduced customer satisfaction, which negatively affect the overall efficiency and competitiveness of the port supply chain. Guided by the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model and Resource-Based View Theory, the current study examined the effects of delivery reliability on port supply chain performance. It focused on key delivery reliability dimensions including on-time delivery, order accuracy and tracking efficiency. A descriptive research design was employed, with structured questionnaires administered to 74 randomly selected port stakeholders. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis. Findings revealed that on-time delivery (B = 0.718, Beta = 0.783, p = 0.000) and tracking efficiency (B = 0.173, Beta = 0.183, p = 0.022) significantly improve port supply chain performance. while tracking efficiency and order accuracy require improvement. The model showed strong explanatory power (R² = 0.973), meaning delivery reliability dimensions explain most performance variation. The study concludes that while ZPC has effective practices in place, targeted improvements in tracking systems and standardization of operational procedures are necessary to enhance reliability. The findings have practical implications for port managers and policymakers, emphasizing that investments in internal processes and digital infrastructure under the Zanzibar Economy can strengthen supply chain efficiency and support sustainable regional trade growth.   Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law College of Bussiness 2025-11-25 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Quantitative Approach application/pdf https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/view/690 Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law; Volume 11, Issue 2 (2025): December; 327-340 2149-9748 eng https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/view/690/pdf_368 https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/downloadSuppFile/690/148 Copyright (c) 2025 Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law

Legal Framework of Investment in Turkey Şensöz Malkoç, Ebru; Istanbul Commerce University Law Faculty International Investment Law Investment in Turkey, Foreign Direct Investment Law, Direct Investment, Indirect Investment K30 Turkey has always been a country that attracts the attention of investors due to its geopolitical position. Legislation regarding investment is shaped in line with the social and economic policies of the country. It is seen that our country has accepted investment-friendly regulations in the process up to now. In this context, the “Foreign Direct Investments Law” dated 2003 and numbered 4875 is the Law which should be examined as a priority. This Law brought two important changes in investment law. One of these innovations is the transition from the permission system to the notification system in foreign investment. The other innovation is related to who can be considered as a foreign investor. With the new regulation, Turkish citizens residing abroad will also be able to get investor status.

Setting of Advocates' Organization in Indonesia with the Single Bar Model to Realize Advocates' Professionalism Siregar, Ryan Gabriel; Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Surabaya Hufron, Hufron; Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Surabaya law Advocates Organization, Professionalism, Single Bar law In various countries, advocate organizations or Bar Associations in practice are not uniform in form (single bar, multi bar, federation), which is influenced by a number of factors including the legal system, history, professional development and choice of professional needs. Institutionally, the form and system with many advocate organizations in a country are acceptable, but the same standards are still needed to create standardized advocate quality. Referring to the UN Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers, the Government, Advocate Professional Organizations and Educational Institutions must jointly ensure that advocates undergo an adequate education and training system, and have knowledge of the duties and functions of an ideal and ethical advocate. Although the Advocate Law has adopted a single bar to carry out the function of a single regulator, in practice it shows that many organizations when carrying out the function of an advocate organization cannot in fact guarantee the same standards in maintaining the quality of the advocate profession. The process of recruiting advocates, for example, uses different standards between one organization and another, making it difficult to ensure the competence/quality of the same advocate. Enforcement of the Advocate Code of Ethics is also still considered insufficient, because advocates who are suspected of violating ethics when being processed in an advocate organization may still be able to change their membership to another advocate organization.

Workplace Environment of Job Satisfaction for Procurement Professionals in the Private Sector of Tanzania Israel, Baraka; College of Business Education, Dar es Salaam - Tanzania Workplace Environment, Job Satisfaction, Procurement Professionals, Private Sector J28, J01, J08, J21, J33. The dynamics influencing employees' job satisfaction (EJS) exhibit considerable variations across sectors and professions. The current study investigates the workplace environment of job satisfaction for procurement professionals, with specific insights from the private sector in Tanzania. A cross-sectional questionnaire survey and a simple random sampling approach were utilised for data collection from 427 procurement professionals across the five districts of the Dar es Salaam region of Tanzania. The study findings demonstrated high and moderate satisfaction with the social and physical work environments among procurement professionals. However, notable concerns emerged regarding unmanageable workloads, unhealthy work-life balance, lack of support for career development, unharmonised salary structures, inefficient performance management systems, and lack of autonomy and inclusive decision-making systems. Other issues include delays in salary payments, lack of promotion and growth opportunities, a disconnect between responsibilities and procurement skills, and unfair termination of employment. The study findings provide adequate evidence to assert that the work environment in the surveyed private organizations is not conducive. This is supported by the fact that 60.43% and 60.42% of the surveyed procurement professionals expressed dissatisfaction with their work environment and jobs, respectively. Subsequently, the study offers valuable insights for managers and policymakers, enabling them to formulate targeted strategies to enhance job satisfaction, overall well-being, and productivity of workforces in the private sector.

Design of a Genetic Algorithmic Approach for Reducing Energy Consumption in Single Machine Production Systems Tarakçı, Elif Zaim, Abdül Halim Öztaş, Oğuzhan Energy Consumption, Single Machine, Genetic Algorithm In traditional production systems, production is generally based on performance criteria such as total completion time, price and quality. Energy consumption or environmental impacts of prodcution systems are not often considered. This article deals with an NP-hard scheduling problem aiming to increase energy efficiency, which has been noticed by companies in recent years. A mathematical model is set up to minimize the total energy consumption in a single machine production system. Genetic algorithm method is used to solve this NP-Hard problem. To prove the efficiency of our model and algorithm, we use the sample problems in the reference paper. According to the test results, our model and algorithm have been shown to reduce energy consumption by 50% compared to the algorithm in the reference paper.

Bank Credit to Agricultural Sector and its Productivity in Ethiopia Engida, Bedasa Taye; Economics department head at Rift valley university Macroeconomics, Research Methodology, microeconomics Agricultural productivity, Bank credit, Causality, Co-integration, Ethiopia. macroeconomics  This study, efforts were empirically to inspect the long-run association of total outstanding bank credit to the agriculture sector and its productivity in Ethiopia by employing a co-integrated VAR model technique, with annual data running from 1981–2015 agricultural productivity and total bank credit to the agricultural sector as variables of interest, and real government capital expenditure on agriculture, rural population, and seasonal break (dummy) as supplementary variables. A 1% permanent increase in agricultural bank credit was linked to a 0.13 percent increase in agricultural productivity. The speed of the adjustment coefficient was found to be negative and significant with 0.515 values, indicating that 51.5 percent of the deviation from long-run equilibrium caused by a disturbance and/or a shock in the system was eliminated within a year. Unlike to previous studies the financial development-economic growing nexus, there exist the absence of empirical research on causal association between agriculture productivity and bank credit to sector, at least as per  the literature review for this study in Ethiopia. In summary, small-holder farmers in particular, and agro-industrial-based entrepreneurs in general, were excluded from bank credit in Ethiopia for a long time.  Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law Rift Valley University 2022-12-13 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Econometrics application/pdf https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/view/314 Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law; Volume 8, Issue 2 (2022): December; 168-182 2149-9748 eng https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/view/314/pdf_176 https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/downloadSuppFile/314/73 https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/downloadSuppFile/314/74 Copyright (c) 2022 Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law

Rural Infrastructure and Smallholders Commercialization: Analysis of Crop Input Market from Jimma Zone, South-West Ethiopia Haile, Minyahil Alemu Dachito, Amsalu Censored Tobit, Infrastructure, Crop Input Market Index, Commercialization Commercial transformation of subsistence agriculture is vital towards transforming the sector, and the economy at large. Since agriculture accounts for the dominant role in terms of employment, foreign currency and source of staple food across developing countries, enhancing commercialization of smallholders’ agriculture is compelling policy choice among them. In this paper we examined the effect of rural infrastructure on smallholders’ crop input market participation with reference to Jimma zone. Censored Tobit approach was employed to model the relationships between degree of household market participation from input side and the provision of rural infrastructure. Distance to the nearest all-weather-road from the farm area was found important. Moreover, provision of rural credit services, communication services and rural market center have been significant contributors. Unfortunately, we estimated trivial coefficient for agricultural services in relation to rural commercialization. It seems surprising as various inadequacies in the provision of the services may be involved. The right approach for the future should consider efficiency as well as adequacy of the services being provided. It would be better to reach smallholders’ with necessary hard and soft infrastructures towards realizing multidimensional growth and transformational targets. Besides, interventions intensifying rural access to information are vital.

Influencer Marketing and Consumer’s Lifestyle Branding: The Mediating Role of Audience Perception Nyange, Eunice Frank; College of Business Education Marketing; Consumer Behaviour Influencer Marketing; Audience Perception; Lifestyle Branding I31 This study examines how influencer marketing affects consumer lifestyle branding in Tanzania, focusing on the role that audience perception plays. The research uses Source Credibility Theory, Social Learning Theory, and Perception Theory. It collects and analyses data from a group of Tanzanian urban young people, using a quantitative method with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The measurement model results showed that the constructs were reliable and valid. The structural model analysis showed that influencer marketing affects audience perception (β = 0.686, p < 0.001). Perception then affects lifestyle branding (β = 0.564, p < 0.001). The mediation analysis revealed that audience perception mediates the relationship between influencer marketing and lifestyle branding (β = 0.387, p < 0.001). The model showed average explanatory power (R² = 0.471 for perception, R² = 0.318 for branding). It also showed good predictive relevance. The findings highlight the significance of genuine influencers and credibility in shaping brand identity adoption. Companies should invest in long-term influencer partnerships, create content that fits the culture, and manage perception with a plan. This study adds to the literature about digital branding in Sub-Saharan Africa and it shows that perception acts as a link between marketing influence and lifestyle alignment.

The Influence of Procurement Audit on Procurement Effectiveness Sallwa, Alfred Ain; College of Business Education, Tanzania. Procurement, Auditing, Supply Chain Procurement Audit;,Procurement Effectiveness, Tanzania Research Paper The contribution and significances of procurement audit towards the procurement activities brought several debates in the country. This study examined the influence of the procurement audit on the procurement effectiveness of public organizations in Tanzania. The study identified compliance audit, value for money audit and strategic audit as the main procurement audits that are implemented in the public sector. The specific objectives were therefore, to ascertain the influence of each of the stated procurement audit on the procurement effectiveness. The study was carried out in Dar es Salaam city, surveying five public organizations (TRA, TTCL, DCC, MSD and TANESCO) that were selected to represent all other public organizations in generalizing the findings. In this survey design, 154 respondents were selected via snowball sampling techniques to represent a total of 250 respondents in data collection. Primary data were collected by self-administered questionnaires and four PPRA reports were reviewed to compile secondary data. Data were quantitatively analysed using inferential statistics; correlation and regression analysis with the aid of statistical Packages for Social sciences (IBM SPSS Statistics 23). The findings revealed that, value for money audit has high significant contribution to the procurement effectiveness followed by the compliance audit. On the other hand, the strategic audit showed an insignificant contribution to the procurement effectiveness. The study recommends, the government and PPRA to emphasize and ensure matters and recommendations given by procurement auditors are dealt accordingly while also strengthening procurement audit so as to improve procurement effectiveness and public funds management at large.

Effective Use of Digital Marketing in the Mental Health Industry Muhammad, Arzoo; Antalya bilim university Mert, İbrahim Sani Digital Marketing, Mental Health, Social Media The study explores the usefulness of digital marketing strategies (DMS) in promoting the awareness of mental health in Asia as it investigates relationships between DMS, ethics, feedback processes, target audiences, and marketing aims. Quantitative approach was adopted and 200 professionals working in the mental health sector in Asia were surveyed. The proposed model was tested in terms of SPSS and SmartPLS. The results indicated positive correlations between DMS and marketing goals, target audience and ethics, and target audience and marketing goals. Ethics, however, did not produce any significant influence in the feedback mechanisms. The results indicate that successful mental health marketing is based on proper targeting of audience and a need to use culturally suitable language. The research leads to the literature on marketing in digital health by providing a vision on the ethical and strategic opportunities of mental health organizations to magnify their reach in sensitive and diversified environments.

Commercial Diplomacy in the Context of Export Sophistication: The MIKTA Case Uslu, Meral Commercial Diplomacy, Integration, Export Promotion, Sophistication, MIKTA Commercial diplomacy has been of interest to researchers in the context of export development due to the many empirical studies indicating that the international economic integrations provide more growth and employment for the governments and internationalization for the enterprises. Unlike the strict and/or regional economic integrations, MIKTA was created as an informal and cross-regional group of ‘middle powers’ bringing together Mexico, Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, Turkey, and Australia in 2013. Being distant apart from each other geographically and having many differences besides their similarities, each of the member states is considered influential in their regions and of high importance for the paradigm shift to a new world order. This paper aims to figure out if MIKTA has been utilized as a powerful advocate for enhancing exports of the member states while also resuming sustainable economic growth. For this reason, it is analyzed to what extent the members’ exports were and have become sophisticated, meaning capital intensive or labour intensive, over the past 20 years and how the members’ economic growth rates were contributed. For the analysis, PRODY and EXPY indices are calculated representing the sophistication levels of, respectively, product groups and the total exports of the states.

According to the amendment, if the power of the counsel to examine the content of the file or taking copies of the documents jeopardizes the purpose of the investigation, it can be limited by the judge upon request of the prosecutor. However, limiting the power of the counsel to examine the investigation file is against the European Convention on Human Rights and the Constitution. Indeed, the European Convention on Human Rights gives a ruling of violation of right in cases where it determines such a limitation of power. The power of the counsel to examine the content of the file is the sine qua non of a fair trial. It also serves the purpose of revealing the truth. In this study, we will try to examine the effect of the amendment made with the Article 44 of the Law No. 6572 about power of the counsel to examine the file on the fair trial principle.

Measuring the Potential Economic Impact of a Japan–US Free Trade Agreement: Can It Enable the US to Eliminate Its Trade Deficit in Goods with Japan? Hasegawa, Shun; Hokkaido University Akahori, Hirokazu; Akita Prefectural University Sawauchi, Daisuke; Hokkaido University Yamamoto, Yasutaka; Hokkaido University Agricultural economics Free Trade Agreement, Trade Deficit in Goods, GTAP Model Japan and the US are two major global trading partners that have at times been at odds regarding each other’s international trade policies. In particular, the ongoing US trade deficit in goods with Japan has been one of the primary disputes between Japan and the US. However, the recent withdrawal of the US from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) sent a clear signal that the US would take a new approach to international trade issues and has potentially paved the way for a bilateral free trade agreement (FTA) with the remaining TPP countries, including Japan. This paper contributes to the debate on the potential economic impact of a Japan–US FTA (JUFTA) by evaluating whether it could enable the US to eliminate its trade deficit in goods with Japan. To do this, we measure the potential impact of a JUFTA using a dynamic Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) model. We find that a JUFTA is unlikely to enable the US to eliminate its trade deficit in goods with Japan, although the deficit will certainly decrease as a result.

Factors Affecting Improved Potato Production in Central Ethiopia: Evidence from Duna District Mulatu, Negese Tamirat; lecturer, jimma university Hagayo, Sanait Tadele potato production Improved potato production plays a vital role in improving agricultural production and yield enhancing policy in central Ethiopia, particularly in the Duna district. Improved potato is a globally produced cash crop and it accounts for fourth place in the world yield. Improved potato yield is key crop in improving potato growers’ income, and nutritional status. In the agriculture, improved potato is an essential means to leave poverty and food insecurity for many cultivators. Despite the district's better environment and good yield enhancing condition for improved potato, the production is meager. Hence, this research investigates factors affecting improved potato production in central Ethiopia, using data from 189 respondents in the 2022/23 main potato growing season in the Duna district. Both primary and secondary data were used for the data analysis. Descriptive and binary logit methods were applied in this study. The findings of the logit model indicated education, age, off-farm activity, access to land, livestock holding, household soil fertility, fertilizer use, use of credit, access to extension service, provision of improved seed, and the distance to market were important factors influencing improved potato production. The results show that improved potato production at the household level reduces rural farm households’ food insecurity and poverty due to improving the income of improved potato growers. Therefore, the agricultural sector should give a vital role and attention to improved potato production. This is the key option to boost improved potato production in the study district.

It is ranked 180 out of 186 countries on the U.N. Human Development Index (report 2016) and is in the Fund for Peace’s top 10 failed states, next to Haiti and Afghanistan. The latest surge of violence in the country began when the Séléka rebels captured power in March 2013. They were responsible for mass killings, sexual violence, and looting. This paper critically analyses the factors that led to the outbreak of that conflict one of which the role that played by the foreign actors in this conflict. The research found that there are four main elements that caused   the conflict in the CAR including exclusion, repression, and competition over resources and foreign involvement. One of the important reasons behind that conflict is an economic factor which is the struggle for power and resources among political elites. The paper also found the repression combined with exclusion policies adopted by the Bozize and the precedent regimes also contributed to the outbreak of violence in CAR finally, the empirical evidence showed that there was a deep economic crisis behind the conflict, with the withdrawal of foreign investors the   Commercial crops such as cotton, coffee, also have deteriorated as well as the exploitation of forest income has declined.    Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law 2018-12-20 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/view/105 Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law; Volume 4, Issue 2 (2018): December; 63-74 2149-9748 eng https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/view/105/pdf_64 Copyright (c) 2018 Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law

State control over coal is stated in Article 33 paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic Indonesia. Coal is a mining excavation that has great potential in contributing to state foreign exchange, and has an important meaning in improving the welfare of the community. Coal is a non-renewable natural resource, so its management must be based on the principle of caution, transparency and consideration of economic interests and the preservation of environmental functions in accordance with its designation. To realize this principle, mining management must be equipped with a mining business permit, which is attached to the obligation for mining business actors to carry out reclamation and post-mining as an effort to maintain environmental functions in accordance with its designation, and at the same time protect the community from the dangers of former mining excavations.

The Dynamic Relationship between Financial Development and Economic Growth: Empirical Evidence from Ethiopia Birru, Ejigayehu Wassie, Yilkal Tadesse, Tekilu Financial Development, Economic Growth, ARDL Bounds Test, Cointegration, Granger Causality There are different evidences in the literature regarding the relationship between financial development and economic growth. Some studies have found bidirectional causality, others a unidirectional relationship while some found no causality between the two variables. The aim of this study was to see the direction of causality and to investigate the existence of a long run relationship between financial development and economic growth in Ethiopia.  We use two variables namely private sector credit as percentage of GDP and broad money supply as percentage of GDP to indicate financial development and employ Auto Regressive Distributive lag Model( ARDL) to Bounds Testing to examine the long and short-run impact of financial development on Economic growth and Granger Causality Tests has conducted by using Vector error correction Model . The Bound test results suggest that long-run relationships exist between economic growth and both financial development indicators as well as other explanatory variables. Moreover, our findings support both supply leading and demand following hypotheses. The direction of the short-run and long-run causal relationship between economic growth and financial development depends on which financial development indicator is used. Particularly, improvements in financial development indicators related to the resource allocation function of the financial system lead to economic growth whereas economic growth causes financial development through increasing banks’ assets in the long run.

Employee Job Satisfaction According to Education Level, Age and Work Experience Pehlivanoğlu, M. Çağrı; Istanbul Kent University Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences, Business Administration Department Job Satisfaction, Education Level, Age, Work Experience In today's corporate environment, employee job satisfaction is essential to business performance. Job satisfaction may be influenced by a variety of employee demographic factors, and the potential outcomes require numerous sector-specific studies in the field. This study investigates the differences that might be created by a set of individual demographic variables such as job education level, age, and work experience on employees' job satisfaction. The Job Satisfaction Index created by Brayfield & Rothe (1951) and shortened by Judge et al. (1998) was utilized as the measurement tool. Convenience sampling was used to distribute the questionnaires to employees serving as store salespeople in the retail sector. 350 questionnaires were collected in total and 315 valid questionnaires were taken into final analysis. The variables were examined using the ANOVA, and Tukey tests. As the result of the analysis, it was observed that age and work experience do not cause any difference in the average job satisfaction scores of employees, but education level does. According to the research sample, the participants' job satisfaction scores differ depending on whether they have a university education or not. Employees with a university education have relatively lower job satisfaction average scores than employees without a university education. The study provides several suggestions for retail organizations on people management and recommendations for future researchers regarding the analysis of demographic variables.

The Role of International Trade in the Development of the Countries Demirbilek, Atilla; ISTANBUL COMMERCE UNIVERSITY Civelek, Mustafa Emre Foreign Trade Volume, Export/Import Coverage Ratio, Gross Domestic Product per Capita, Purchasing Power Parity Our study aims to investigate the impact of foreign trade on economic growth and welfare of a country, using foreign trade volume and its coverage (i.e. export versus import) ratio representing foreign trade while gross domestic product per capita and purchasing power parity represent economic growth and welfare. Knowing that foreign trade boosts the whole economy, gross domestic product (GDP) per capita is a good indicator of an economic output but does not reflect the differences in the cost of living of countries. The challenge in this study is to develop more complementary indicators that can help bridge the gap between GDP per capita and economic well-being. Purchasing power parity (PPP) compares different countries’ economic output using a standardized metric based on a common basket of goods and services. Using PPP exchange rates in addition to a country's gross domestic product (GDP) may help to provide a more detailed picture of a country's economic health. Multiple regression analysis was utilised to test the hypotheses of this study. Secondary data was used in this study. The analyses were performed with SPSS. As a result of the data analyses and tests of hypotheses conducted in this study, it has been empirically proven that foreign trade volume and export/import coverage ratio have positive impact on gross domestic product per capita which has a significant impact on purchasing power parity.

Assesment of Blockchain-Based P2P (Pear to Pear) Transactions in International Trade with Swot Analysis Kayalıdereden, Didem; Istanbul Kultur University Deveciyan, Meri Taksi Sosyal, Beşeri ve İdari Bilimler P2P, Peer-To-Peer Commercial Activities, B2B, Blockchain, SWOT Finans, Yönetim Blockchain is known as a digitalized, decentralized online computer network on which a public ledger of all cryptocurrency transactions stored and it attempts to create and share all transactions that are verified by using a peer-to-peer (P2P) connected computer network. From the point of production to the truncating the international trade finance process or recording the customs procedures control, many companies are taking the advantages of blockchain technology day by day. The development of peer-to-peer payment systems make the crypto-currencies capable of dealing with not only the individual money transfers but also with the international trade activities. Expected result of this development is an increase the international trade volume in the short run. There are both threats and opportunities in terms of blockchain-based peer-to-peer commercial transactions. And also, some strengths and weaknesses due to the internal structure of the blockchain system. In this study, we are analyzing online peer-to-peer commercial activities via SWOT analysis from the perspective of institutions. It is expected that this study will enable to analyze the major factors of the peer-to-peer transactions in international trade facilities by applying "SWOT analysis". Even though there are a lot of research about blockchain in the local literature, institutional dimension in terms of the state-of-the-art cases of the adoption of blockchain in transport and logistics are studied scarcely in Turkey and hopefully will guide the academicians who want to work in this field.

Angel Investment and Kosovo’s Early-Stage Market: A Promising Opportunity? Braha, Medina; University of Prishtina, Teaching Assistant at Faculty of Economics Entrepreneurship; Early-stage Investing; Angel Investing Business Angel Investment, Early-Stage Market, Entrepreneurship, Funding Angel Investing The purpose of this paper is to analyze whether Angel Investment (AI) may serve as a suitable tool for the early-stage market of Kosovo. The activity of the Business Angel (BA) has experienced significant development lately, and moreover, supplementary attention by policymakers all over Europe and beyond. As a result, the BA community in Europe has published the Start-up Investor Manifesto in May 2014 aiming to adopt policies and actions towards the rise of entrepreneurship and innovation through the creation of 1.5 million new jobs in Europe by 2017. In addition, the Manifesto foresees enlargement of cross-border activity of BAs, including the emerging markets lying outside EU borders. Based on its increasing capacity and attention paid to, and on the fact that over 98% of registered Kosovar businesses are micro enterprises, AI may appear an appropriate instrument in advancing country’s early-stage market. Therefore, this paper intends to answer this interrogation by simultaneously studying the scientific arguments as well as best practices regarding AI both in developed and emerging markets. Accordingly it aims to provide a model on how the AI market could be developed in Kosovo.

The Expansion of Absolute Competence in Industrial Relations Court (PHI) by Resolving Disputes over Termination of Employment (PHK) against Deceased Workers Based on the Principle of Justice Mangagang, Abdi Munawar Daeng; Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Surabaya Warka, Made; Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Surabaya Hufron, Hufron; Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Surabaya Bagijo, Himawan Estu; Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Surabaya law absolute competence, justice, worker law Termination of Employment (PHK) is a central issue in industrial relations that often causes disputes between workers and employers. Based on article 61 paragraph 1 of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law Number 2 of 2022 concerning Job Creation. One of the forms of layoffs regulated is layoffs due to the death of workers, which legally causes the end of employment relations automatically (layoff by law). The death of a worker is also regulated in Government Regulation Number 35 of 2021 in article 36 letter o and is regulated in detail in Article 57 regarding the calculation of the rights obtained. This research uses normative juridical research. Based on this research, it can be concluded that the expansion of the absolute competence of the Industrial Relations Court (PHI) in handling disputes over termination of employment (PHK) due to the death of workers is a legal urgency that cannot be ignored. Although the employment relationship ends automatically (by law), facts in the field show that heirs often face administrative and juridical obstacles that cause delays in the fulfillment of workers' normative rights. This research confirms that PHI has the philosophical, juridical, and theoretical basis to be given explicit authority to resolve such disputes in order to ensure substantive justice and legal certainty for the heirs.

Economic Impact of the Japan–China–USA Free Trade Agreement on Japan using both Static and Dynamic GTAP Models Akahori, Hirokazu; Akita Prefectural University Hasegawa, Shun; Hokkaido University Sawauchi, Daisuke; Hokkaido University Yamamoto, Yasutaka; Hokkaido University Agricultural economics Free trade agreement, Japan; Global Trade Analysis Project; CGE The Japanese government has been actively involved in so-called mega Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). The purpose of this paper is to measure the potential impact of the Japan–China–USA Free Trade Agreement (JCUFTA) on Japan; in particular, on the Japanese agricultural sector using static and dynamic GTAP models. When tariffs are eliminated between Japan, the USA and China, the GDPs of the three countries will all increase, but the impact on the GDPs of the three countries is less than 1% in both static and dynamic models. The results also show that the total value of agricultural production in Japan is expected to decline by more than 10%.

Impact of Oil Revenues on Economic Prosperity in South Sudan Yugusuk, Henry Jada Jacob; İstanbul Commercece University Oil Revenue, Patronage, Economic Prosperity South Sudan among the most oil-independent country in the world, oil contribute for almost all bulk of its exports, around 60% of Gross Domestic Products (GDP), and 98% of government revenue, yet the Economy is stationary and faced with several woes such as lack of infrastructural development, widespread poverty, and growing inflation. Oil revenue meant to improve economic development, but due to the Kleptocracy system of government, the economy remained motionless. This paper argues that oil revenue has a negative impact on economic prosperity in South Sudan, that lead to poor quality institutions and governance, which cause slower economic growth. Based on this, this article recommends that the government should establish some robust legislation on revenues management such as a management of oil income, Audit, and procurement in order to ensure accountability and transparency in the oil sector. By establishing those laws, the revenue that generated from oil can be invested in the Agricultural sector as a mean of diversification that can sustain and robust economic prosperity. This can avoid the economic crisis in the nearest future due to unstable oil prices in the international market.

"In order to maintain the unity and integrity of the state, this is one of the reasons for the central government to always dominate the implementation of government affairs by setting aside the role and rights of regional governments to be directly and independently involved in managing and fighting for the interests of their regions.” This research is a qualitative research through a normative legal approach. The construction of Article 18 paragraph (4) in 1945 Constitution of Republic Indonesia which contains the phrase "democratically elected" in this case provides space for each region to implement regional elections that are in accordance with regional conditions and needs.

Determinants of Centralized Public Procurement Effectiveness: Evidence from Selected Ethiopian Higher Public Education Institutions Abrahim, Kedir Yusuf; Jimma university Tarekegn, Ganfure management Centralized procurement, Determinants, Effectiveness, Regression. No This study focuses on factors affecting centralized procurement system effectiveness in higher Ethiopian public educational Institutions. To achieve this objective the researchers employed the explanatory research design with a primary data sources from 82 employees through questionnaires and interview in purposively selected of public educational Institutions and Public property procurement team leaders of PPPDSA at federal level.  The Pearson correlation analysis outcome showed that all explanatory variables were positively influencing the effectiveness of centralized procurement system but at different degree of correlation. The multiple linear regression analysis result of the study also revealed that public policy, control activities and staffs’ educational competency of sampled public education institutions strongly and positively affected centralized procurement system effectiveness at 4.2 percent, 0.01 percent and 0.01 percent respectively. Similarly, monitoring and contract management affected the centralized procurement system effectiveness at 0.00.01 and 5.2 percent respectively. Therefore, to avoid the return of defect goods, malpractices, high compliance and untimely response of procurement orders, the PPPDS and sampled Ethiopian higher public educational Institutions should design very clear procurement planning criteria that fits the national procurement guideline, strong internal control system with good evaluation system. Moreover, it also advisable if the sampled Ethiopian higher public educational institutions train their staffs that partake in procurement processes and apply a computerized procurement system to support their procurement policies and further improve their overall centralized procurement system effectiveness.  Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law No 2020-12-08 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion explanatory research application/pdf https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/view/195 Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law; Volume 6, Issue 2 (2020): December; 79-89 2149-9748 eng https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/view/195/pdf_102 https://www.jital.org/index.php/jital/article/downloadSuppFile/195/33 Copyright (c) 2020 Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law

Forward Integration into Global Value Chains and Pollution Haven Hypothesis in Somalia Nur, Abdirahman Mohamed; Istanbul Ticaret University Somalia, Forward integration, Pollution Haven Hypothesis, Dynamic Least Square (DOLS). This study investigates whether Somalia’s forward integration into global value chains (GVCs) sets it up as a pollution haven, while controlling for the effects of gross domestic product, renewable energy, urban population and trade openness. Annual time-series data set for the period 1992-2018 is analyzed via dynamic least squares regression analysis. The empirical results show that a percentage rise in the domestic value added of Somalia’s exports causes an increase of 0.274% in CO2 emissions. The study outcome therefore reveals that forward integration into global value chains significantly aggravates environmental pollution in the country. This is in confirmation of the study hypothesis that Somalia may be serving as a pollution haven because of the relatively lax environmental policies that permit the inflow of pollution-intensive foreign direct investments. It may also be due to the dominance of primary commodities in its exports which places it at the beginning of the GVC spectrum. A number of policy recommendations are provided.

Performance-Based Task Appointment Model in Urban Public Transportation: The Case of IETT Taşdemir, Ahmet Fuat; Istanbul Commerce University Ekmekçi, İsmail; Istanbul Commerce University IETT, Urban Public Transportation, Motivation, Rewarding, Performance Evaluation, Staff Scheduling, Preference Provision of quality services in urban public transportation has become a significant field of research to be analysed separately, particularly for metropolitan cities where population and other components of traffic are rapidly increasing. Quality of public transportation operators can be figured out with the help of various parameters. Among those, human resources undoubtedly have a significant role. Fulfilment of operators’ strategic aims and targets is in direct proportion to performance and satisfaction of employees. With an innovative approach, this study aims to suppose a new, performance-based task assignment model that grounds on the target to achieve a fair work distribution by analysing General Directorate of IETT’s current “task assignment process for drivers”, which manages urban public transportation of Istanbul Metropolitan City. This model identifies specific performance indicators and gives points to the drivers according to competency. New software has been developed with an algorithm to allow drivers to choose the routes they will work on, depending on their competency points. With 184 drivers, 22 routes and 135 buses, IETT Sarigazi Bus Terminal has been chosen as the pilot area of this new idea of “self-appointment”.
