Abstract

Startups encounter obstacles including constrained resources, minimal brand recognition, and fierce competition. Digital marketing provides economical solutions; nevertheless, its strategic application in startup environments is still little examined. This study intends to examine digital marketing methods appropriate for startups using a thorough literature review. This research innovatively synthesizes fragmented knowledge to determine the best efficient digital marketing strategies for early-stage enterprises. The overall population for this study comprised 1,709 articles, with a sample size of 50 articles. The study's findings indicate that start-ups face multiple challenges, one of which is securing capital. Consequently, start-ups must implement a suitable approach, wherein digital marketing is employed to address their challenges. The findings of this research indicate that digital marketing is crucial for the survival and success of startups in competitive business environments.

Abstract

This study empirically analyzes the mediating effect of financial performance on the relationship between capital structure and the ESG performance of listed non-financial firms in Ghana. Using panel data from 16 firms enlisted on the Ghana Stock Exchange from 2015 to 2024, the study adopts the random-effects model. The results show that (1) both debt and equity capital have a negative influence on ESG performance, corroborating the agency theory; (2) debt capital does not significantly influence financial performance, but equity capital positively influences financial performance, violating the Modigliani and Miller theory; and (3) financial performance has a positive influence on ESG performance, corroborating the resource-based view theory. Further analysis regarding the mediating effect shows that financial performance partially mediates the relationship between capital structure and ESG performance. The study emphasizes the need for managers to be cautious when choosing the optimal capital structure, bearing in mind that improved financial performance is one of the ways their capital structure decisions can enhance ESG performance. The novelty of this study lies in the development and validation of a mediation model of capital structure, financial performance, and ESG performance in a sub-Saharan African context, enhancing our understanding of corporate finance in underdeveloped capital markets.

Abstract

This study examines the revenue growth performance of Ghana's Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) and explores the moderating influence of population density on the relationship between financial autonomy and revenue growth. This study analyzes the impact of institutional capability and spatial context on subnational fiscal performance in the context of Ghana's decentralization, based on fiscal federalism and institutional theory. Auditor-General's Reports and the Ghana Statistical Service provided data on 261 MMDAs from 2018 to 2023. Stata 18 and R 4.3 were used for fixed-effects estimation, the system generalized method of moments (GMM), robustness testing, and moderation analysis using Hayes' PROCESS Model 1. The results indicate that financial autonomy substantially improved subnational revenue growth (β = 0.0036, p < 0.001). Population density did not significantly reduce this association (β = -0.0031, p = 0.108). Further analysis indicates that the fiscal benefits of autonomy are more pronounced in low-density assemblies, suggesting that institutional and administrative efficiencies play a more critical role in fiscal performance than population size. The findings indicate that decentralization reforms should prioritize improving governance quality, institutional discipline, and fiscal accountability, rather than demographic or spatial considerations. This study represents the first application of moderated panel models to 261 Ghanaian MMDAs, demonstrating that institutional strength, rather than population density, serves as the principal determinant of fiscal benefits from autonomy in developing countries. This finding contributes to the discussion on fiscal federalism and institutional theories.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of sustainable logistics practices—green transportation, waste management, energy efficiency, and sustainable packaging—on sustainability performance in the manufacturing sectors of Ghana and Indonesia, with a focus on the moderating role of Internet of Things (IoT) development. The research highlights the importance of both internal resources and external factors in achieving sustainability goals. Using a quantitative approach and a descriptive survey design, data were collected from 374 manufacturing firms in Ghana and 379 in Indonesia. The study employed a structured questionnaire and applied Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression to analyze the relationship between sustainable logistics practices, IoT growth, and sustainability performance. Sustainable logistics practices positively influence sustainability performance, with IoT moderating this relationship. Firms in Indonesia demonstrated higher performance due to advanced IoT infrastructure, while Ghana showed limitations due to less developed technological infrastructure. The findings emphasize the need for investment in IoT infrastructure to enhance the effectiveness of sustainable logistics practices, particularly in developing countries. The study contributes new insights into the moderating role of IoT in sustainability and offers practical guidance for policymakers and businesses. This study provides a novel cross-country perspective on how IoT development influences the effectiveness of sustainable logistics practices in emerging economies, bridging gaps in the existing literature on technology-driven sustainability strategies.

Abstract

The startup sector's emphasis on the educational technology industry in Indonesia expanded, particularly during the pandemic. However, many educational technology players went bankrupt because they could not make their users reuse their products and services (continuance intention). This study aimed to analyze the influence of e-experience on continuance intention in the use of educational technology platforms, with e-trust and e-satisfaction as mediating variables. A quantitative method with a PLS-SEM approach was used to test the relationships between variables. Data were gathered from 300 respondents using a questionnaire as the research instrument. The respondents in this study were individuals utilizing educational technology, including students, teachers, and employees seeking skill enhancement. The data were analyzed using SmartPLS. The research results showed that e-experience had a direct influence on continuance intention, but its impact was relatively small. E-trust and e-satisfaction proved to be significant mediators in strengthening this relationship. E-Satisfaction had a stronger mediating influence compared to e-trust, affirming that user satisfaction was a key factor in driving the sustainability of educational technology usage. Moreover, the indirect effects through mediators were greater than the direct effects, indicating that user experience should be developed into trust and satisfaction to enhance user retention.
