An empirical study conducted in the agribusiness sector revealed that the perceived corporate social responsibility activities have a positive and significant influence on trust toward the brand.

This paper determines the degree of capital mobility and saving- investment association by using the Feldstein- Horioka (1980) approach among Middle East and North African (MENA) countries during 1990-2011. According to the Feldstein- Horioka hypothesis, in a country with high degree of capital mobility there should be no relationship between domestic saving and domestic investment and inversely, in a country with low degree of capital mobility there is a high correlation between domestic saving and domestic investment. Using panel data and employing Random effect Model to estimate the model, the obtained results show that capital is highly mobile in these countries.

This study attempts to test the effect of exports and investment on the Syrian economy over the period 1960-2010. The cointegration test indicates that GDP is positively and significantly related to exports and investment. The Granger causality test indicates unidirectional causality relationship running from exports to GDP, and bidirectional causality relationships between investment and GDP in the short and long run. The study result indicates that the government's economic policy in enhancing exports and encouraging investment was a successful policy to improve the Syrian economy.

Today, competitive advantages of businesses with various products are dependent on a competitive analysis and developing a relevant strategy. One of the effective frameworks by which one can assess business portfolios is the General Electric (GE) Matrix, which itself focuses on two aspects namely market attractiveness and the business strengths. Therefore, this study asks what is the contribution of each of Chabahar Fishery Cluster’s business units, as far as the competitive advantages and relevant strategies of each unit are concerned? The objective of the study is then defined as how to identify the gap between market attractiveness in fishing industry and potentials of Chabahar Fishery Cluster and to provide appropriate strategies in line with the GE Matrix. Chabahar Fishery Cluster’s managers have been chosen as the target statistical population of the study. Marketing Management software is used to analyze data and results show those units which produced canned fish enjoyed better positions among other parts of the Cluster.

Management information systems (MIS) considerably changed business processes. According to this, Electronic customer relationship management (ECRM) emerged in conjunction with evolution of traditional customer relationship management in e-business contexts. In an analogy, Electronic customer relationship management is similar to a double-edged sword i.e. it provides some opportunities for the system performers, on one side; and challenges the firms, on the other side. In this paper we are seeking for marketing opportunities such as better communication and interactions with customers as well as created choices regarding any customer data storage that ECRM offered as a potential source to benefit from firms’ competitive advantages. On the other hand, it studies the challenges including on-line channel management as well as integrating data and issues related to information technology architecture firms encounter in implementing ECRM.
