Unlocking economic potential
In an era of rapid digital disruption, many very small enterprises (VSEs) in emerging economies struggle to adapt and sustain competitiveness within the expanding digital economy. This research examines how digital transformation (DT) drives the development of Thailand's VSEs within the local digital economy (LDE), emphasizing the mediating role of business resilience (BR). Adopting a quantitative approach, data were collected through structured …
Misplaced Waste
In response to New South Wales’ target of eliminating Food Organics and Garden Organics (FOGO) waste to landfill by 2,050, this study investigates how environmental education shapes residents’ awareness and waste-sorting behaviours in multi-unit dwellings (MUDs) across Greater Western Sydney. Adopting an exploratory mixed-methods approach – integrating surveys, bin audits, interviews, and infrastructure assessments – the research reveals persiste…
Menstrual Pain and the Economic Purse
Globally rising female labour force participation represents one of the most noteworthy economic developments of the last century. Despite this rise, little is known about the individual and broader economic costs tied to women's experiences of problematic menstrual symptoms such as period pain (dysmenorrhea) and heavy menstrual bleeding. This study quantifies the economic burden of menstrual symptoms on Australian working women using a human cap…
Evaluating the impact of marketing interventions on sugar-free and sugar-sweetened soft drink sales and sugar purchases in a fast-food restaurant setting
The interventions significantly increased SFD sales and reduced sugar purchases in the short run. Aside from free coupons, the findings support the recommendation for fast food restaurants to nudge customers towards choosing SFDs through point-of-purchase displays and the replacement of popular SSDs with their SFD counterparts
Antecedents and Outcomes of Service Co-Creation in the Sharing Economy
The study focuses on service co-creation in the sharing economy, where platform operators mediate the relationship between customers and potential service providers. Service co-creation consists of information sharing, interaction, and responsible behavior that customers undertake voluntarily or willingly to create an experience of value. Based on S-D logic, a theoretical model of service co-creation was developed and tested through structural eq…
Groundwater scarcity impact on inclusiveness and women empowerment
A survey was conducted in eight secondary schools located in two watersheds in Gujarat and Rajasthan (semi-arid region of India) to assess students’ perceptions about groundwater scarcity issues and the impact of the scarcity on their educational opportunities. Survey responses to a detailed questionnaire by a cohort of students in both watersheds; school attendance records of year 8 class students (13–14 years old) and responses gathered via a s…
Climate Variability in the Origin Countries as a “Push” Factor on Tourist Arrivals in the Philippines
The objective of this paper is to test the impact of climate variability in origin countries as a “push factor” on tourist arrivals, specifically in the Philippines, and to select a suitable proxy to measure climate variability. This paper uses the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) constructed by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. Climate variability is strongly linked to the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and this link is used by meteorol…
