THE IMPACT OF ORGANIZATIONAL RESOURCES ON CUSTOMERS SATISFACTION: Received: 29th November 2021; Revised: 04th December 2021, 23rd December 2021, 6th March 2022; Accepted: 07th March 2022
No full textThis study examines how organizational resources and competencies endow the competitive advantage. Often organizations align resources and capabilities to achieve their goal. Drawing on a resource-based view, we come to identify key resources that help the organization execute its business strategy and capture customer satisfaction. In four separate surveys, we firstly identify resources to execute a business plan. We examine those resources in a more elaborate survey to capture the most valuable resources. Further, customers’ satisfaction is also surveyed. Results show that at first customers value organizational resources. Second, when human resources are much clear, customers tend to favour human resources over organizational and physical resources. The implication of this discovery for the organization is also discussed
HOW RETURNS OF METAVERSE TOKENS ARE INTERRELATED? Received: 29th March 2022, Revised: 16th May 2022, 20th May 2022, 23rd May 2022, Accepted: 25th May 2022
No full textMetaverse tokens belong to a virtual world that has recently emerged and their growth potential is of interest to numerous parties. Theoretically, the number of ecosystems may increase infinitely. However, strong financing and technological backing are required for the survival of the projects. Thus, various factors may influence these tokens’ returns. How these tokens’ returns are affected by each other is analyzed via a multi-regression model. ENJIN returns are found to be the sole factor in MANA returns for our sample (99%). The remaining results of the study indicate that returns of metaverse tokens are interrelated when everything else is held constant and trading volumes have an impact on these returns. The future for these ecosystems may depend on various factors and they are discussed in the light of literature as well
CHANGES OF COMPETITIVENESS RANKINGS IN THE CEE COUNTRIES - THE 2022 OUTLOOK: Received: 13th October 2022; Revised: 1st November 2022; 2nd November 2022 Accepted; 11th November 2022
No full textThe study focuses on the competitiveness of the V4 countries. The aim of this study is to analyse the relative position of the V4 countries. This follows on from several comparative studies published in previous years, in which we have already dealt with the competitiveness situation of the V4 countries (Varga & Csiszárik-Kocsir, 2020; Varga, 2018; Varga & Csiszárik-Kocsir, 2015). Building on the previous data, we seek to answer the question to what extent the competitiveness of the countries in the region has changed in relation to each other and whether there has been a substantial change in the competitiveness ranking of the V4 countries. By comparing the results, we can see which of the V4 countries performs best and whether there has been a change in competitiveness at the top of the list. The comparison also makes it possible to identify the efforts made by the V4 countries to become more competitive. The 2022 snapshot is of particular interest, as the COVID-19 crisis or the Russian-Ukrainian war have had an impact on national competitiveness developments, although the effects of the latter will only be reflected in statistics and reports at a later stage. National competitiveness changes independently of these factors, so it may be necessary to determine the exact situation on a regular basis

No full textThis present study aimed to scrutinize students’ use of reading strategies and to explore their reading strategy use according to their enjoyment of English learning. Mokhtari and Reichard’s (2002) reading strategies questionnaire was adapted and used to collect data from 112 undergraduates (freshmen, sophomores, and juniors) in the academic year 2021. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and the Chi-square tests were used to analyze data. Findings showed that students’ enjoyment of English learning affected their reading strategy use. Learners who enjoyed learning English used more reading strategies than those who had less enjoyment of English learning. It was also found that among the strategies used, Problem-solving strategies (PROB) were most frequently used followed by Support strategies (SUP) and Global reading strategies (GLOB). At the individual level of reading strategy use, students who enjoyed learning English tended to use more strategies than those who enjoyed it less

No full textThe need to save mangroves is growing, however, debasement has persisted for decades, because the processes of decision-making are inefficient, found solely on economic factors. This study provides a tool for mangrove conservation and management to explore the socio-cultural values of mangrove ecosystem services through research in Xuan Thuy National Park, one of nine Ramsars in Vietnam, and also an area heavily affected by shrimp farming. 150 households were selected for an interview, 5 focus group discussions in 5 buffer zone communes, 10 in-depth interviews were carried out to find out the ecosystem services that mangroves provide, compared with literature review, and 3 cultural services listed by the local people as the characteristics of the mangroves here are lifestyle change, strengthening family relationship, implicit division of labor in the community. This proves that local people are ambassadors connecting the mangroves and the government. This finding suggests that the socio-cultural aspect of mangrove services should be deliberated by policymakers as a measure of great concern when facing the challenges of wetland ecosystem conservation
THE DOCTRINE OF SEPARATION OF POWERS UNDER THE NIGERIAN CONSTITUTION: Received: 01st Sept 2021; Revised: 05th July 2022, 22nd July 2022, 26th July 2022; Accepted: 26th August 2022
No full textSeparation of powers is a hallowed constitutional principle of the democratic government of Nigeria for the three arms of government to stay in their assigned tracks to avoid arbitrary excesses by any of the arms. The ideal is that the legislature makes the law; the executive executes the law, while the judiciary interprets the law. In recent times, the president of Nigeria churns out Executive Orders in the form of ‘laws seeking to regulate the activities of the government and the people. Similarly, agencies of the federal government have been found wanting in this act. This paper thus revisits the doctrine of separation of powers in Nigeria with a view to justifying its practice and an examination of the emerging trends of Executive Order and independence of the judiciary. The paper finds that the practice of separation of powers is on course in Nigeria despite some pockets of arbitrariness and concludes that adherence to the principles of separation of powers remains a sine qua non to Nigeria’s successful democratic journey
