The impact of consumers' views on clear and ambiguous statements regarding discounts on online store preference
Full text linkDuring the sales-enhancing offer process, businesses can use vague (unclear) expressions such as a discount of up to 70% or 30%, or clear expressions such as a net discount of 70% or 30%. It is thought that the clear and ambiguous expressions used for the discount significantly affect the store preference. The effect of clear statements and ambiguous statements about discounts on consumer preference for online stores was determined as the aim of the research. The questionnaire, which was created in accordance with the purpose of the research, was applied to 421 people determined instantly using the convenience sampling technique, taking into account time, ease of use and cost factors. Least squares path analysis (PLS-SEM) method was used to analyse the research model. According to the beta values calculated in the analyses, it is seen that the dimensions of discount-related statements are ranked as clear statements and ambiguous statements according to the effect size value on the online store preference variable. In this direction, it can be said that clear statements are more effective in online store preference

The second constitutional era in the context of multi-party system in Türkiye
Full text linkThere is no consensus among authors as to when the multi-party system started in Türkiye. While some authors state that the multi-party system in Türkiye started in the Second Constitutional Era, many authors generally accept that the multi-party system in Türkiye started after the Second World War. The second position has become so common that it has come to affect authors’ perceptions; whenever the transition to multi-party system in Türkiye is mentioned, the process that started in 1945 first comes to mind. This study argues that the multi-party system in Türkiye started in the Second Constitutional Era, a view that is contrary to which is widely known and accepted. In this context, the current study aims to reveal this multi-party system by examining various aspects such as the related literature, historical background, and competition of the political parties in the multi-party elections to gain power. The study also aims to challenge conventional wisdom in the literature and change common opinion

Closing the talent gap: a proposed micro-credential model in Malaysian formal education
Full text linkThe global talent gap is a consequence of skills mismatch among job seekers. Although micro-credentials appeared to be a potential solution to narrow the talent gap, it is unclear how they can be effectively implemented in a structured academic pathway. The purpose of this study is to explore the potential of a proposed micro-credential model for formal education via the Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning Micro-credentials (APEL.M), to support the talent gap challenges faced by companies in Malaysia. The study used a qualitative case study method with data collected mainly from a focus group discussion among relevant faculty heads, administrators, and senior management team members. The findings indicated that despite potential challenges and issues towards implementing the new micro-credential model, the proposed model is significant for policymakers, higher education providers, and industry stakeholders interested in addressing the talent gap and creating alternative pathways to formal academic qualifications
