The objective of this paper is to compare the weight of service providers’ personality traits and service quality performances they provide to uncover the primary factor influencing a clients’ intention to revisit their beauty salon in a long-term relationship. The SERVQUAL model of service quality and Mini-Marker model of personality were employed to substantiate the hypothesized relationship. Based on 453 valid respondents from beauty salons’ visitors, empirical finding remarkably indicate that the hairstylist’s personality was the primary reason for clients to revisit beauty salons. The results demonstrate that the factors such as agreeableness, intellect, conscientiousness and extraversion respectively have been prioritized as the most effective reasons for re-visitation in the view of customers. From the service quality side, the dimension of tangibility is ranked as the first reason to revisit the beauty salon. Overall, the outcome of this study can be applied to beauty salons’ management process in the line with building a strong long-term customer relationship and in return sustain profitability.  }, keywords = {Servqual,Big-Five personality traits,Mini-Marker model,Repurchase Intention,beauty salon,Iran}, url = {https://www.ijmae.com/article_132913.html}, eprint = {https://www.ijmae.com/article_132913_12a463c2f8c8fc8c49e6c5a79e2beb7e.pdf} } @article { author = {Hossain, Md Ekram and Dechun, Huang and Zhang, Changzheng and Ali, Mohammad}, title = {Trade Intensity and Revealed Comparative Advantage: An Empirical Analysis of Trade between China and Bangladesh}, journal = {International Journal of Management, Accounting and Economics}, volume = {8}, number = {5}, pages = {320-342}, year = {2021}, publisher = {Mashhad: Behzad Hassannezhad Kashani}, issn = {2383-2126}, eissn = {2383-2126}, doi = {10.5281/zenodo.5065332}, abstract = {This paper examines the intensity of trade between Bangladesh and China along with analyzing sector level comparative advantage of 16 export sectors of Bangladesh and China in bilateral trade. The Trade Intensity and Balassa Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) indices of the 20 export sectors of Bangladesh and China are examined from 1995 to 2019 to achieve the research objectives. Bangladesh's trade strength with China shows that the country has a lot of space to expand its trade with China. The revealed comparative advantage analysis of 20 exports sector of Bangladesh and China exhibits that among those 20 sectors, Bangladesh reveals high comparative advantage over 5 sectors, moderate over 4 sectors, and comparative disadvantage over 11sectors of its export to China. Moreover, China reveals moderate comparative advantage over 8 sectors and comparative disadvantage over 12 sectors of its export to Bangladesh. Based on the empirical analysis and the literature, recommendations are addressed to improve the export sectors of Bangladesh.}, keywords = {Trade Intensity,Comparative Advantage,Bilateral trade,Bangladesh,China}, url = {https://www.ijmae.com/article_132914.html}, eprint = {https://www.ijmae.com/article_132914_688de11f22284ceb736aedcfd74f8972.pdf} } @article { author = {Cui, Zhixia}, title = {Study on the Relationship between Innovation Capability and Profit Growth: Based on the Impact of Environmental Policy}, journal = {International Journal of Management, Accounting and Economics}, volume = {8}, number = {5}, pages = {343-361}, year = {2021}, publisher = {Mashhad: Behzad Hassannezhad Kashani}, issn = {2383-2126}, eissn = {2383-2126}, doi = {10.5281/zenodo.5065498}, abstract = {In order to provide suggestions forthe reform and transformation of coal mining firms, we construct regression models to analyze the impact of innovation capability. Using a sample of coal mining firms listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges in China from 2013 to 2018, and explaining the innovation capability from three perspectives of R&D intensity, innovation level, and innovation efficiency, this paper is the first to empirically examine the relationship between innovation capability and enterprise profitability, and further investigate the impact of environmental policy on the relationship. We find that the innovation of coal mining firms can effectively promote the improvement of profit growth, especially for the coal mining firms with stronger R&D intensity and higher innovation level. After considering the constraints of environmental policy on coal mining firms, we also find that the greater the intensity of environmental policy, the stronger the positive relationship between R&D intensity and profit growth, which is the effective evidence of applying the Porter’s hypothesis to the high-polluting coal mining firms in China. The conclusions facilitate the managers of coal mining firms to further understand the impact of innovation on profitability. At the same time, the study also provides empirical evidence for policy-makers to stimulate innovation of coal mining firms from the perspective of environmental policy.}, keywords = {Coal mining firms,profit growth,Innovation Capability,Environmental policy,Porter’s hypothesis,neoclassical economic theory}, url = {https://www.ijmae.com/article_132912.html}, eprint = {https://www.ijmae.com/article_132912_8e76f4fffa7247895e85b91d72efc1a5.pdf} } @article { author = {Ohnishi, Kazuhiro}, title = {Managerial Incentives in Price-Setting Mixed Duopoly Model with Complementary Goods}, journal = {International Journal of Management, Accounting and Economics}, volume = {8}, number = {5}, pages = {362-367}, year = {2021}, publisher = {Mashhad: Behzad Hassannezhad Kashani}, issn = {2383-2126}, eissn = {2383-2126}, doi = {10.5281/zenodo.5065856}, abstract = {This paper examines a price-setting mixed duopoly model in which a state-owned public firm and a private firm produce complementary goods. There is no possibility of entry or exit. Each firm has one owner and can hire one manager to make its production decisions. The paper first analyzes the following four possible cases: neither firm hires a manager, only the private firm hires a manager, only the state-owned public firm hires a manager and both firms hire managers. It is shown that economic welfare is identical in all the four cases. Next, this paper presents the equilibrium of the model. The paper shows that there exist two equilibrium outcomes: only the public firm hires a manager and neither firm hires a manager. As a result, it is found that the equilibrium of the paper is contrast with that obtained under price-setting mixed duopoly competition with substitute goods, where both the public firm and the private firm hire managers.}, keywords = {Bertrand model,managerial delegation,mixed duopoly,private firm,public firm}, url = {https://www.ijmae.com/article_132911.html}, eprint = {https://www.ijmae.com/article_132911_817e40ecb9ce186220c20cfc9bf301ae.pdf} }
