The acceptance of the SSTs by the banking customers has been recognized as one of the crucial aspects in the success of SST implementation. The researchers, at various points of time and in different contexts, have highlighted the need for the identification of the factors affecting the acceptance of the SSTs. In this regard, technology adoption propensity of the customers and its relationship with socio-economic characteristics, technology attributes and facilitating conditions has been unveiled as the most important aspect. Taking this into consideration, the present paper has been framed to analyze technology adoption propensity of the customers in India by focusing on the three aforementioned facets. Accordingly, the results have highlighted significant association of age, income and qualification of the customers with their propensity to adopt technology. Also, significant connection of technology adoption propensity of the customers with facilitating conditions, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use has also been unveiled from the results of the study. Based on the findings, the study has recommended the need for framing strategies focusing on the three aforementioned facets as an effective measure for enhancing acceptance of the SSTs among the customers in India.

As the needs and expectations of customers for the quality of products and services grow, companies are constantly faced with challenges in order to remain on the market, build customer loyalty and to be competitive. Companies, operating in a fashion industry encounter an extremely dynamic business environment – continuously changing and renewing the product range makes it even more difficult to retain customers. In this case, the efforts of the company and every employee to understand customer expectations and to provide a positive purchasing experience becomes a must. Therefore, it becomes crucial for fashion retailers to continuously measure customer satisfaction with the service quality, identify factors that affect customer satisfaction and, accordingly, to look for opportunities for improvement. SERVQUAL methodological approach and, the specifically five-dimensional model of Assurance, Reliability, Tangibility, Empathy, and Responsiveness was applied measuring customer satisfaction with the service quality of international fashion chain stores in Lithuania. Research revealed the typical demographic and psychographic profile of fashion chain customer and most important factors, affecting customer satisfaction, i.e. the knowledge, and skills of the employees (Assurance dimension), as well as the physical factors related to the interior, layout and pleasant appearance of the employees (Tangibles dimension).

The role of oil shocks as factors in economic growth of a country is important. With little reflection on the Iran economic structure and other major oil exporter countries that have a strong bond to the proceeds of oil sales، this is a strong suspicion that the origin of the oil shock is caused by economic shocks. Purpose of this article is determining and solving of Iran cycles and effect of oil price fluctuation on these cycles using Markov switching model. In line with the main objective of research, extracting of oil price shocks by using Markov switching model and estimation long run relation by using the pattern accumulation Johansen Juselius estimated by using of quarterly data 1988(1) - 2008(2). The results suggest that hypothesis of symmetry of positive and negative oil shocks on production have been rejected. So we can infer that the effects of negative and positive shocks on production are different.

The purpose of this study is to investigate Debt to Equity ratio to determine firm performance of Pakistani companies listed in Chemical, Food and Care products, Cement, Pharmaceutical, Auto assembler and Textile sector. The research done on 50 companies listed under Karachi Stock exchange covered the period of 2010-2014, total observations of 250 firms-years. The independent variable is Debt to Equity and dependent variables are Size, Earnings per Share, Return on Assets, Return on Equity and Marketing. The research employed Descriptive Statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple linear regressions and the findings shows Earnings per share, Return on Equity and Return on Assets are significantly correlated to Debt to Equity ratio. While Debt to equity ratio founds a significant impact on Size and Return on Assets. Furthermore, it is recommended that other firm specific factors can also be used with a more wider time span like Dividends, Taxes etc to gauge the impact and end with a more accurate outcome. This Study will eventually benefit the finance mangers to define an optimal capital structure and also the research community by providing new knowledge regarding the impacts of capital structure. Though, other major economies can also be examined with different other industries to check the deviation of capital structure formation.

This study examines the role of firm nature of business effect (financial vs. non-financial) in determining the lagged effect of economic factors on stock returns. Study applied generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity model GARCH (1, 1). The results of the study indicate that with the increase in lags from lag one to lag five, the significant impact of exchange rate on stock returns of financial firms becomes more and more negative while for the non-financial firms, it becomes more and more positive (from lag one to lag four). Results further indicated that the negative significant relation of risk free rate with stock returns of both financial and non-financial firms is maximized at one lag. However, the negative significant relation of inflation with stock returns of financial firms is maximized at lag two while in the case of non-financial firms, it is maximized at lag one. In this vein, it is also found that with the increase in lags from lag one to lag four, for both the financial and non-financial firms, the significant impact of inflation on stock returns shifts from negative to positive. Moreover, the statistically significant and positive influence of real activity on stock returns is maximized at one lag, while in the case of non-financial firms; it is maximized at two lags. Further, results also reported that the maximization of significant positive influence of money supply on stock returns exists at fifth lag for both financial and non-financial firms. In addition, the significant impact of money supply on stock returns becomes more and more positive with the increases in lags from lag one to lag five. Focusing on oil prices, the results further established that two lags is the most common lag for the statistically significant and positive impact of oil prices on stock returns; while, three lags is the most common lag for negative and significant impact of oil prices on stock returns. Finally, we reveal that macroeconomic indicators have lagged effect that varies with respect to firm nature of business, representing the role of nature of business effect.

Crude oil price and US dollar value are the two critical economic variables influencing global economy. The purpose of this research is to study the sustained long-run relationship between these two variables. The fact that Crude oil price is determined in dollar and that oil price and dollar exchange rate, since 1970, underwent many changes at international markets raised this question that what is the relationship between these two variables. For this purpose, co-integration and causality tests were used for variables within 1990-2013. Research results show that there is a negative relationship between crude oil price and dollar value such that if the real price of crude oil increases up to 10%, dollar real value decreases to 1.7%. Causality direction is from oil price variable to US dollar price. In addition, estimating short-term error correction relationship for dollar exchange rate long-run equation, it is seen that if dollar real exchange rate deviates from its long-run trend, the gap will be restored at 4.1% rate per period as long as returning to the very long-run path.

Foreign aid is one of the most important policy tools that rich countries use for helping poor countries to improve population well-being and facilitate economic and institutional development. The concept of foreign aid orofficial development assistance (ODA) is widely used and accepted as a flow of financial resources from developed countries to developing countries on development grounds. However, the role and effects of foreign aid in the economic growth of developing countries have been and are controversial issues. This paper investigates the relationship between foreign aid and growth in per capita GDP using annual data from the 1980 to 2012 period for a sample of Iran. Three time series techniques (CCR, FMOLS and DOLS) were utilized to estimate the co-integrating equations. The results show that in long-run, effect of foreign aid on economic growth is positive, statistically significant, and sizable. Therefore, aid is more productive than domestic resources and other capital inflows.

Since supplier selection is an important part in management fields, this research focuses on weighted non-hierarchical fuzzy model to increase supply chain management performance. Supplier selection researches have significantly increased but most of methods have been focused on hierarchical determination of indices. This article by use of a multiple objective function tried to present a method that can consider non-hierarchical determination of indices in specific conditions. This research by use of deliverable indices of supply chain management tries to select the best suppliers. In this paper it is assumed that all suppliers have the ability to supply needed items but client can only make a product they provide. Quality of supply chain deliverable, supply chain reliability and supply chain visibility names indices have been selected to increase efficiency in the supply chain. This approach presents local optimal solutions by use of a heuristic logic in supply chain management. These indices are used as fuzzy to select the appropriate suppliers. By this fuzzy method, appropriate supplier can be set for each of the items. The presented approach have been introduced a weighted indices to determine best supplier in specific conditions. In this research weighted non-hierarchical fuzzy sets have been used to select appropriate suppliers. This method is useful for supplier selection problems.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between CEO’s (Chief Executive Officer) tenure, power and diligence with the management of earnings in companies admitted to Tehran Stock Exchange. This research is applied and includes 131 companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange between 2013 and 2017. This research was tested in three hypotheses using multi variate regression in Eviwes software version 9. The findings of three hypotheses showed that among the independent and controlling variables, between CEO tenure (negative and significant), CEO’s (positive and significant), CEO’s diligence (negative and significant), market value to book value (negative and significant), the return on assets (negative and significant), and the size of the audit firm (negative and significant) have a meaningful relationship with real earnings management. As a result, it is imperative that managers and investors focus on this issue in order to see better management and investment.

The labor market is one of the four economic markets which possess a key role in adjusting the relationship between workforce demand and supply as well as the balance in macroeconomic variables such as employment. Hence, the basic question which is the main focus of the present paper is whether the current frequencies in inflation impact labor market demand or not? In order to answer this question based on the previous literature and theoretical concepts, labor market demand function, wage level function, gross domestic product (GDP), and the working population are considered. In this way, first labor market demand frequencies are identified for the period between 1996 and 2012 and then in order to determine the effects of inflation frequencies on labor market demand, this variable is entered into the function and it will be calculated again. The results show that wage level, gross domestic product, working population and inflation have a positive effect on the labor market demand and inflation frequencies influence labor market demand. Hence, if inflation were entered into the demand function, labor market demand structure functions would be increased and management of this market would be harder. Hence, in the case that inflation frequencies are managed it might be possible to manage the present frequencies in labor market demand.

This study examines the determinants of banks profitability in Pakistan. The main objectives of the study are to determine the factors that influence banks profitability in Pakistan and to make recommendations for management decision making and policy objectives. A panel data of 25 banks (commercial, Islamic, foreign and local banks) in Pakistan was analyzed over period of 2006-2015, using panel data regression method to estimate common, fixed and random effect regression models. The two key measures of profitability (dependent variables) analyzed in this study comprised of ROA and Return ROE. The bank-specific factors were incorporated into the regression models, were Credit risk, Expenses Management, Deposits to total assets, non-interest income and size. The results for the ROA model indicate that size and deposit to total assets of bank is positively significant to bank profitability while credit risk, expenses management and non interest income are negatively affect the profitability. Moreover the results of ROE model indicates that credit risk and NII are negatively significant and Size is positively significant with banks profitability. This study also indicates the comparison between Islamic verses non Islamic, Foreign verses local, and public verses private banks which shows there different results on banks profitability.

Increasing financial depth is one of the main concerns of policy makers as a prerequisite for economic growth. And since poverty is one of the most important economic and social complications as well as a barrier for reaching financial development, this study tries to investigate the effects of the Gini coefficient, as a poverty measure for income strata, on financial depth during the time period between 1990 and 2011 using combinatorial data analysis. The results of the study show that there is a positive relationship between Gini coefficient in each income stratum and financial depth, which implies that increasing the financial depth does not decrease poverty in each income stratum. Moreover, there is a negative relationship between government expenses and financial depth in Iran. On the other hand, it can be said that increasing the degree of economic openness and inflation have a positive impact on financial depth.

The main purpose of this study to investigate the impact of the bank rate, budget deficit, FDI and money supply M2 on inflation in the case of Pakistan applying the ARDL model using yearly data from 1974-2016. The Experimental evidence highlight that there is a unique and stable relationship among dependent variable inflation and other different explanatory variables, bank rate, budget deficit, Foreign investment, GDP, Exchange rate and trade openness. After analysis, the result of ARDL indicates that bank rate, exchange rate, and GDP have a negative impact on inflation in the long-run co-efficient. On the other hand, budget deficit, FDI, Money supply M2 and trade openness have a positive impact on inflation. These two tests CUSUM and CUSUMSQ shed light on validates and stability of coefficients in this approach.
