Abstract

This study delves into the intricate dynamics of behavioral biases and their consequential effects on individual investment decisions within the real estate sector in Nepal. Through a comprehensive examination of existing literature, this research identifies prevalent behavioral biases among investors, including the illusion of control, cognitive dissonance, herd instinct, hindsight, and representativeness biases. Employing a descriptive research design, content analysis of scholarly articles elucidates the significant influence of these biases on investment decisions. The findings underscore a strong correlation between behavioral biases and investment choices, with notable biases such as loss aversion, self-attribution, regret aversion, and over-optimism prominently shaping investors’ attitudes towards real estate investments. Moreover, the study highlights the pervasive impact of optimistic outlooks on future returns and the herd mentality, wherein investors are driven by peer actions, contributing to the burgeoning real estate market in Nepal. This research provides valuable insights into the underlying behavioral mechanisms driving investment decisions, offering implications for investors, policymakers, and practitioners in mitigating biases and fostering informed decision-making in the real estate domain.

Abstract

Entrepreneurship has always been interpreted as a pattern that presupposes self-autonomy, economic rationality, and market-driven innovation. However, these pillars are eroded by the recent socio-cultural changes which are marked by the increasing collectivism, ethical pluralism, and technologically mediated changes. The current conceptual argument is a reconceptualization of entrepreneurship post-individualism that incorporates elements of existential, communitarian and ethical tradition based on the thinkers like Heidegger, Arendt and Bauman. Being based on philosophical hermeneutics, the paper criticizes liberal individualist model and reorients entrepreneurial identity as a process that occurs as a socially embedded and ethically driven process. Its main themes are how it seems to be a conflict between individuality and normative behavior, the decreasing of authenticity in the entrepreneurial culture, and how networks, technology and collective action are transformative. Through combining the knowledge of sociology, political economy and innovation theory, the paper suggests a comprehensive interpretation of entrepreneurship that put an emphasis on the relevance of significance, relations and the cultural sustainability rather than on the profitability and simple economic production. Entrepreneurship education, policy frameworks and ecosystem design are all implicated and it is argued that approaches that would enhance ethical responsibility, social interdependence, and collaborative agency in the entrepreneurship ecosystem should be encouraged. The piece will also be of use to fledgling interdisciplinary discussions, providing as it does a normative and ontological reconfiguration of entrepreneurship that will be suited to post-modern, digitally networked societies.

Abstract

This conceptual paper develops a comprehensive framework of the analysis of the service quality and customer satisfaction in the e-banking industry of Nepal by modifying the SERVQUAL model with the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Despite the spread in e-banking adoption, especially in urban areas, the quality of digital services is still uneven, and it can be explained by the lack of infrastructure, digital literacy, and the existing security issues. The suggested framework integrates five fundamental SERVQUAL dimensions, i.e., reliability, responsiveness, assurance, tangibles, and empathy with TAM constructs, such as trust, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use. The trust is set as a mediating variable, and the access to digital infrastructure is appointed a contextual moderator. The purpose of the study is to provide a formal foundation of further empirical verification, using, say, the structural equation modelling. The proposed framework provides a theoretical approach to improving the digital banking strategy and creating user trust and thus can enhance inclusive financial participation in developing economies like Nepal
