Sustainable innovations in developing economies: a woven theoretical approach with qualitative evidence from Uganda

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to present a theoretical framework that utilizes a success story to elucidate sustainable innovations in Ugandan financial institutions. It provides valuable insights from the standpoint of a developing African nation.Design/methodology/approachThe study utilized a qualitative methodology, specifically in-depth interviews with employees of Stanbic Bank Uganda. A story was constructed to depict their pragmatic experiences, emphasizing the contextual backdrop, actions taken, outcomes and lessons learned. The 12th participant marked the point of data collecting saturation.FindingsThe results suggest that financial institutions that use sustainable solutions are able to mitigate operational risks, cut costs, increase revenue and achieve long-term success. Institutional logics exert a significant influence on the behavior, practices and decision-making processes of individuals or organizations, hence impacting their inclination toward innovation and openness to change. While organizational resilience facilitates the ability to change, maintain excellence and remain competitive. Networks facilitate the exchange of information across institutions, enabling them to stay updated on market trends, regulatory changes and emerging risks. This, in turn, assists in making educated decisions.Originality/valueThis study is innovative in its utilization of a success story to exemplify sustainable improvements in financial institutions in Uganda. While several studies exist world over on sustainable innovations, this study is the first to use a success story and proposes a theoretical model that illustrates how institutional logics, networks and organizational resilience contribute to the development of sustainable innovations in a developing country.

Exploring E-Customer Satisfaction Using e-SERVQUAL Among Online Shoppers

When interacting with a company's products and services, customer satisfaction is an overall feeling of contentment that a client is experiencing. Previous studies have shown an increase in revenue when a company prioritizes customer satisfaction with its products or services. Around 70 percent of Malaysians are dynamic online consumers, with most of them shopping via websites. e-SERVQUAL assesses the efficacy and efficiency of a website in facilitating shopping, purchase, and delivery processes. It encompasses the pre-purchase and post-purchase phases. The e-SERVQUAL dimensions (privacy, website design, responsiveness, reliability, usability, and information quality) are elements that impact e-customer satisfaction. A total of 100 respondents at Bandar Utama City Centre who shop online participated in the survey. According to the data, males outnumber females among the respondents. The survey comprised three sections: A, B, and C. Section A comprised the demographic information of the respondents, Section B concentrated on the e-SERVQUAL aspects, and Section C addressed e-customer satisfaction. The data was examined utilizing the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The results indicated that the majority of respondents expressed satisfaction with the quality. However, website design improvements should be made to encourage more online shopping. The recommendation in this study is beneficial to online service providers and future studies on e-SERVQUAL should be extended to another dimension to explore more aspects of determining quality service in an online setting.

The Influence of Participatory Forest Monitoring on Natural Forest Management and Community Welfare: A Case Study in Kibale National Park, Western Uganda

The paper presents findings from a Study on Participatory Forest Monitoring (PFM) and Natural Forest Restoration (NFR) in Uganda, a case of communities bordering Kibale National Park (KNP), western Uganda. The study involved 394 respondents who were interviewed from June to August 2024. The study adopted a cross-sectional research design to determine the perceived effect of Participatory Forest Monitoring Activities at the household level and examine the relationship between Participatory Forest Monitoring Activities and Natural Forest Restoration while involving communities bordering Kibale Forest. Almost half (54.4%) of the communities bordering Kibale National Park (KNP) work with UWA rangers during forest monitoring patrols in restored areas (M=2.25, SD = 1.95). Participation in PFM improved income at the household level directly addressing household needs especially income for school fees and other needs by 79.9% (r=0.799, P<0.05). PFM can restore natural forests, increase revenue and better community livelihoods.

Hospitality development strategy: regional context

Having a strategy for the development of the hospitality sector for any region will not only contribute to the establishment of a structured dialogue between the authorities and business in the service sector, but will also ensure the effective use of resource potential, the creation of new jobs, an increase in revenues for budgets of all levels, stable development and realization of export potential region European integration processes and economic problems caused by Russiaʼs aggression actualize this issue, parti­cularly in the context of determining its impact on the social and economic development of the region and the country in general. Within the framework of the research, the hypothesis was put forward that the development of the hotel-restaurant and tourism business in the region depends on the priorities of strategic develop­ment and the formation of the regional strategy for the development of the hospitality sector. The research was carried out on the basis of the stu­dy of foreign experience, diagnostics of the activities of hospitality enterprises of the Cher­nivtsi region, surveys of entrepreneurs in the field of hospitality, the use of comparison and modeling methods. According to the results of the survey, additional criteria to the basic guidelines defined by the Law of Ukraine "On the Basics of State Regional Policy" were revealed, which must be taken into account when forming the regional strategy for the develop­ment of the hospitality sector for a specific region. A structural model of the formation of the regional strategy for the development in Cher­nivtsi region has been developed. Based on the research of relevant European experience, it was established that the formation of regional strategy for the development should be aimed at creating conditions for the full realization of the regionʼs tourism potential, building infrastruc­ture in accordance with international standards and creating new competitive advantages. The results of the research confirm the relevance of the formation of the hospitality development strategy, especially in those regions where there is adequate resource provision and development prospects. In practice, the results of the research can be used by local authorities, public organi­zations and businesses. Due to the fact that the regional strategy for the development of the hospitality sector has a three-part character, combining state, regional and interregional (cross-border) policies, the issue of determining its impact on the social and economic develop­ment of the region and the country in general requires further research

ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ ЖИТТЄЗДАТНОСТІ ТЕРИТОРІАЛЬНИХ ГРОМАД УКРАЇНИ В УМОВАХ ПОДОЛАННЯ ФІНАНСОВИХ ТА ІННОВАЦІЙНИХ ВИКЛИКІВ

Decentralization of power in Ukraine is one of the priority reforms of the modern state system, which has caused serious changes in the financial and innovation policy of territorial communities, and also acts as an institutional basis for the economic progress of territories, which requires an in-depth analysis of the financial capacity of territorial units and their innovative activity to identify potential and threats on the way to sustainable development. The purpose of the research is theoretical substantiation and development of management approaches to eliminate financial and innovative challenges of territorial units in conditions of decentralization of power, in particular in Transcarpathian region, as well as providing practical recommendations on strengthening local budgets and promoting innovative progress. The object of the research is the financial self-sufficiency and innovative activity of the territorial units of Ukraine, in particular the Transcarpathian region. The methods of the research used in the research are general scientific methods, in particular, historical, dialectical, comparative, phenomenological, systemic analysis and the method of generalization. The hypothesis of the research is that effective management of financial resources and purposeful development of innovative activity in territorial communities will contribute to stable economic growth in conditions of decentralization. The statement of basic materials. The decentralization of power in Ukraine has led to significant changes in the financial and innovation policy of territorial communities, providing greater autonomy in the management of local budgets and increasing responsibility for their effective use. In Transcarpathian region, the reform process took place more slowly due to the uneven distribution of resources and economic assets, which limited the even development of communities. Despite these difficulties, decentralization has created conditions for strengthening financial independence and stimulating innovation at the local level. During 2021-2022, a general increase in revenues to the budgets of territorial communities was observed, in particular due to the contributions of six districts of Transcarpathia, which confirms the positive impact of the reform on economic development. However, the war in Ukraine negatively affected the financial capacity of communities, creating new challenges that require innovative solutions and adaptation to ensure sustainable economic growth. The originality and practical significance of the research lies in the development of management mechanisms for overcoming financial and innovative challenges of territorial communities, in particular in the Transcarpathian region. Conclusions and perspectives of further research. Decentralization of power is a positive change for the financial and innovative development of territorial communities, as it has managed to significantly increase their self-sufficiency. Further scientific research should focus on a more detailed thorough analysis of the impact of decentralization on the financial capacity of territorial communities of the Transcarpathian region, as well as an assessment of the effectiveness of existing and potential innovative strategies at the local level.

Interlinkages between public expenditures, non-tax government revenues and corruption in the transition economies

PurposeThis article examines potential impacts of increase in non-tax government revenues and public expenses on corruption for 11 transition economies in the Central and Eastern Europe.Design/methodology/approachThe empirical analysis uses yearly panel datasets and employs second-generation panel data models which take cross-sectional dependency and slope heterogeneity into account.FindingsThe empirical results reveal the fact that there is a strong linkage between public expenses and corruption and a weak linkage between non-tax revenue collection and corruption in the transition economies. We perform the same analysis by using data sets from G-7 countries but do not notice any linkages between those variables.Research limitations/implicationsThe research topic requires further discussion on constitutional political economy to digest the empirical findings. Thus, an extended version combined with political economic approach might be useful.Practical implicationsThrough economic transitions, there might be a linkage between public expenditures and corruption index. Thus, public spending might be controlled by using constitutional economics policies.Originality/valueThis paper is the first empirical work in the literature, which examines if there is a linkage between corruption and public expenditures and government tax income structure by using panel data sets. Moreover, it compares the results from transition countries with those of G-7 countries and provides certain policy suggestions in the context of constitutional economics.

The First Half of 2024 Results for the Consolidated Budgets of the Subjects of the Russian Federation

In the first half of 2024, the dynamics of the total amount of regional budgets revenues slightly lagged behind the inflation rate. At the same time, the growth of own revenues of the consolidated budgets of the Russian Federation regions was largely determined by the dynamics of industrial production in most regions and the growth of average accrued wages. The dynamics of corporate income tax and personal income tax receipts have different directions – the receipts of the first decreased, and the second grew significantly. If, in total, for all subjects of the Russian Federation, the increase of personal income tax revenue offset the drop of corporate income tax, then for some regions the situation was different. At the same time, corporate income tax revenues of the federal budget were growing, mainly due to tax calculated on income from securities (dividends, interest). The previously formed tendency of the intergovernmental grants from the federal budget reduction continued. The share of targetеd grants in the structure of transfers has increased. The growth of expenditures of the consolidated budgets of the subjects of the Russian Federation practically follows the dynamics of revenue – slightly lags behind the rate of inflation. If there is a reduction in the volume of state sub-federal debt of all subjects of the Russian Federation, then in 21 regions the volume of debt has increased. The growth of the sub-federal debt occurred both due to an increase in the volume of budget loans and at the expense of expensive bank loans.

Analysis on the relationship between coastal tourism and marine pollution: an empirical analysis of China’s 11 coastal regions

IntroductionCoastal tourism has become an important pillar of economic growth in China's coastal regions, yet no quantitative research has analyzed the relationship between coastal tourism and marine pollution.MethodsThis study, within a multivariate framework, comprehensively examines the impact of coastal tourism on marine pollution by employing various econometric techniques and focusing on four different types of marine pollutant discharges: chemical oxygen demand (COD), petroleum (PET), ammonia nitrogen (NHN), and total phosphorus (TP).Results and discussionPanel cointegration tests confirm a long-term relationship between coastal tourism and these four types of marine pollutant discharges. In the long run, coastal tourism has a significantly negative impact on COD, NHN, and TP. The results of Pooled Mean Group (PMG), Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS), and Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) estimators show that for every 1% increase in coastal tourism revenue (TOUR), COD decreases by 0.734%, 0.536%, and 0.952% respectively; NHN decreases by 0.746%, 0.340%, and 1.633%; and TP decreases by 5.169%, 0.899%, and 0.334% respectively. However, the impact of coastal tourism on PET is not significant. The Dumitrescu-Hurlin (D-H) panel causality test results indicate different causality patterns between coastal tourism and various marine pollutant discharges. Specifically, there is a bidirectional causality between coastal tourism and COD, NHN, and a unidirectional causality between coastal tourism and PET, TP. Moreover, heterogeneity analysis reveals that coastal tourism does not significantly reduce all marine pollutant discharges in low-and middle-income coastal regions. Furthermore, compared to the central and southern coastal regions, the coastal tourism of northern regions has not significantly reduced marine pollution. This study can provide policymakers with references for developing coastal tourism and reducing marine pollutant discharges.

Peran Wajib Pajak Kendaraan Bermotor Atas Kebijakan Pemutihan Pajak dan Pajak Emisi Karbon di Kabupaten Karawang

Tax whitening policies and motor vehicle carbon emission policies are one of the things that need to be considered, where the tax whitening policy must be seen as to the effectiveness of the policy and the carbon emission tax must be structured so that it can be accepted by the public. This research was conducted with the aim of knowing, analyzing and explaining the tax whitening policy and vehicle carbon emissions tax policy in Karawang Regency. This research uses a qualitative research approach with descriptive analysis methods. Research data was taken through field observations, interviews and literature studies. Based on the results and discussion, it was found that the effectiveness of the Vehicle Tax Reduction Program in Karawang, which is carried out regularly every year and socialization is carried out through various media, has succeeded in creating enthusiasm and community participation. This positive response can be seen from the increase in tax revenue and active taxpayer participation during the tax whitening period. If the vehicle carbon emissions tax policy is implemented in Karawang Regency, it has the potential to reduce pollution levels by 10%. However, taxpayers have had little response to this policy because it will increase the amount of responsibility for paying vehicle tax. The conclusion confirms that the tax whitening program is effective in achieving tax revenue objectives and stimulating community participation. The carbon emissions tax policy still needs to be thoroughly disseminated to the public so that the main objectives of the policy are conveyed well.

Empowering Health Care Providers: A Collaborative Approach to Enhance Financial Performance and Productivity in Clinical Practice.

The combination of inadequate financial training, limited benchmarks, and mindset contribute to many physicians prioritizing revenue below quality, outcomes, and safety. This creates a challenge as hospital administrators aim to motivate clinicians to improve RVU generation and increase revenue. Creating physician/administrator teams that defines and explores the gap between observed and expected financial performance in parallel with appreciating the physician's practice preferences can create new opportunities for billing. The proposed 3 phase approach emphasizes nonjudgmental communication, education and partnership. The most common and effective opportunities for improvement include billing optimization, scheduling and system infrastructure modifications. As reimbursement decrease, balancing revenue generation with physician satisfaction has become paramount. Promoting data drive bidirectional communication can lead to identifying previously unrecognized billing opportunities where change is driven by providers rather than by 1-dimensional institutional goals.

How does digital finance alleviate fiscal stress? Evidence from China

The impact of digital finance on fiscal stress is an important issue in achieving high-quality financial development. Based on the theoretical analysis of digital finance and fiscal stress, this paper utilizes data from 285 cities in China spanning from 2011 to 2020, empirically tests the impact of digital finance on fiscal stress by employing fixed effect model and spatial Durbin model, and identifies the influence mechanism. The results demonstrate that: (1) The development of digital finance can significantly alleviate fiscal stress, which remains valid after conducting a series of robustness tests. In addition, the impact of digital finance on fiscal stress predominantly originates from the coverage breadth of digital finance. (2) Mechanism analysis reveals that promoting the increase of fiscal revenue and improving the efficiency of fiscal expenditure are crucial mechanisms for digital finance to alleviate fiscal stress. (3) Heterogeneity test indicates that digital finance has a more significant alleviating effect on fiscal stress in central regions and cities with higher levels of economic development. (4) The spatial effect test suggests that digital finance exhibits a significant spatial spillover effect on fiscal stress, and an enhancement in digital finance level in a region will reduce fiscal stress in its neighboring regions. The above findings offer insightful guidance for government to better utilize digital financial tools to manage debt, optimize the structure of fiscal revenue and expenditure, and promote sustainable financial development.

Optimizing infusion experience for patients in GI oncology at Hartford Hospital Cancer Institute.

331 Background: Cancer Treatments have become increasingly complex and the volume of patients requiring infusion treatments have increased in the outpatient setting. As a part of our Clinical Care Redesign Quality Initiative, the Hartford Healthcare Team identified that our GI Oncology patients receiving chemotherapy at the Hartford Hospital Infusion Center were experiencing a mean wait time of 81 minutes from the start of check-in to the start of their first medication, resulting in patient and staff dissatisfaction and inefficient use of resources. Our objective was to reduce the mean wait time to less than 60 minutes from the start of check-in to the start of the first medication by December 2023, which in turn would improve patient and staff satisfaction. Methods: By process mapping, creation of a fishbone diagram, and multi-voting, we demonstrated that waiting for laboratory results for patients who had provider and chemotherapy visits on the same day was a large contributor to long wait times. We implemented an Advanced Preparation Process that included Unlinking infusion visits from Provider visits and obtaining patient labs prior to chemotherapy treatment day to achieve the goal. Results: By Unlinking visits beginning mid-October 2023, we were able to decrease the mean wait time from 81 minutes to an average of 53 minutes, reflecting a 54% reduction in wait time. This allowed Pharmacy and Infusion Nurses additional time to review orders and complete safety checks and spend more time with patients at the chairside. An estimated amount of 12.6 hours of chair time was made available per week, representing a potential revenue increase of $188,021 annually. Most patients appreciated the decrease in wait time even if it meant coming in two separate days. Conclusions: The project aim of reducing wait times for GI Oncology patients was achieved. A reduction in time to first drug for other patients receiving chemotherapy during our pilot period was also noted, which we attributed to Hawthorne effect. Patient and staff satisfaction were improved. Our next steps will include continuing to optimizing the process.

Robust scheduling of a pulp and paper mill considering flexibility provision from steam power generation

The production scheduling and flexibility provision analysis are of great importance for industrial facilities to provide support for the main power grid. This study proposes a comprehensive scheduling model for an industrial pulp and paper (P&P) mill that considers the flexibility provision from steam power generation. In this model, the internal relationships between the production and consumption of electricity, steam, and pulp in the operational processes of the P&P mill are investigated. Meanwhile, the available flexibility of steam power generation is quantified and further enhanced for participation in the manual frequency restoration reserve (MFRR) market. Furthermore, a robust scheduling model that uses support vector clustering (SVC) technology is proposed to assess the impact of uncertainties in steam temperature and pressure on the available flexibility of steam power generation, thereby reducing the probability of failing to provide the contracted flexibility for MFRR. Simulation results demonstrate that the comprehensive scheduling model significantly increases the available flexibility of steam power generation for MFRR, resulting in a daily revenue increase of $1839.8. Moreover, a balance between the revenue obtained from the MFRR market and the probability of economic penalties incurred for failing to meet the contracted flexibility is achieved by comparing different levels of conservatism in the robust scheduling model.

Impact Corporate Taxpayer Compliance On Tax Revenue Growth With Tax Audit Moderation

This study examined the effect of tax audits and corporate taxpayer compliance on increasing tax revenue, focusing on corporate taxpayers at KPP Madya Makassar. A quantitative approach was employed, using secondary data collected from 12 corporate taxpayers annually from 2015 to 2018, resulting in 48 observations. Data analysis included descriptive statistical tests, classical assumption tests, and hypothesis testing through linear regression. The results indicated that while the Taxpayer Compliance Level and Tax Audit had positive coefficients, neither variable significantly affected tax revenue. Additionally, the interaction between Taxpayer Compliance and Tax Audit did not significantly moderate the impact on tax revenue. These findings suggest that although tax audits have a role in monitoring compliance, they do not substantially moderate the relationship between taxpayer compliance and tax revenue. This study provides valuable insights for tax authorities and policymakers in designing strategies to enhance compliance and optimise tax audits.

PROFITABILITY, LEVERAGE, CARBON EMISSION DISCLOSURE: THE MODERATING ROLE OF PROFIT GROWTH

This research examines the relationship between leverage, profitability, and carbon disclosure in the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) energy industry from 2019 to 2022. As a moderator, this study also examines how profit growth affects the relationship between the three variables. Panel data multiple linear regression analysis served as the method of hypothesis testing. This study analyzes data on energy sector businesses listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2019–2022, totaling 84 observation periods. The results showed how profitability and leverage significantly negatively impacted carbon disclosure. Profit growth highlights how negatively profitability affects carbon disclosure. However, the relationship between leverage and carbon emission disclosure remains despite revenue increases. The findings provide important insights into the disclosure practices of the energy sector concerning carbon emissions and their impact on environmental sustainability. Based on the study's findings, businesses and pertinent parties should be able to develop policies that support the transition to a more sustainable energy industry.

Utilizing Instagram as a Social Commerce Marketing Strategy to Increase MSME Revenue

At the moment, digital marketing is growing more rapidly than ever before, but through digital marketing a strategy is definitely needed so that revenue increases. However, previous research found that business people / entrepreneurs do not make the most of social media in their marketing strategies and do not realize the capabilities of existing social media. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods, aiming to gain insight related to the utilization of Instagram as a social commerce marketing strategy in increasing MSME revenues in the Lili Collection 31 case study. The data collection methods used are three, namely; observation, in-depth interviews and documentation studies. This research uses SWOT analysis to identify various factors both internal and external. The results of this study concluded that Lili Collection 31 has not been optimal and there is a need for improvement both in terms of understanding Instagram insights and marketing in attracting consumer interest.

Partisan Politics in Greece from 1974 to the Economic Crisis and Beyond

Abstract This paper presents the main features of the Greek political landscape during the period 1974–2008 and examines whether the governing ideology of the country’s main political parties is correlated with specific fiscal and monetary policy patterns. The descriptive analysis reveals two key findings. First, the data indicates ideological differences in fiscal policy during the pre-1993 period, with PASOK governments exhibiting higher public spending and deficits, while the conservative New Democracy (ND) demonstrated greater fiscal restraint. Monetary policy during this period also appears to follow ideological differences. Second, in the post-1993 period, two trends emerged that do not seem to be ideologically driven. From 1994 to 2001, both major political parties in Greece focused on joining the Economic and Monetary Union, aligning their policies with the Maastricht Treaty. This resulted in a decrease in government expenditure and an increase in total revenue, even under the left-wing PASOK government that was in office during that period. However, after Greece joined the eurozone, external constraints such as the Stability and Growth Pact did not effectively enforce fiscal discipline. From 2001 onward, there was an increase in expansionary fiscal policies, even under the right-wing ND government, suggesting that government ideology had minimal influence on fiscal variables during this period. Greece provides an intriguing example of how partisan politics can intersect with international institutional and policy constraints. (JEL codes: H2 and H1)
