This research paper aims to scan the relationship between perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, self-efficacy, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, adoption to satisfaction, and attitude towards the continuous use of e-wallets during the COVID-19 pandemic. The researchers opted to conduct a study on this because of the proliferation of the use of digital wallets in the Philippines, such as Maya, Gcash, and others. There are about 2,644 distributed questionnaires. The study included partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) and a questionnaire tailored to business owners' understanding and attitudes towards using e-wallets. The investigation revealed that perceived susceptibility, perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness are related to satisfaction with using e-wallets. Moreover, satisfaction with using e-wallets is related to the attitude towards e-wallets. In addition, attitudes towards e-wallets impact business owners' continuous use of e-wallets in the Philippines. This means that because of the pandemic, business owners have a positive attitude toward the continuous use of e-wallets. The study recommends policymakers to continue monitoring e-wallet providers since it is a new scheme of payments.

Alpina and Eiger are outdoor product pioneers in Indonesia. Initially, Alpina dominated the Indonesian outdoor product market, but it was unable to compete with Eiger. According to the preliminary research findings, more than 50% of respondents claimed that they prefer to buy outdoor products from Eiger over Alpina because Eiger products are superior in terms of product quality, product features, and product style & design. In this study, the independent variables are product attribute variables (product quality, product characteristics, and product style & design), and the dependent variable is brand preference. Data was gathered through interviews, observations, literature studies, and questionnaires completed by 120 people using the judgement sampling approach. Multiple linear regression study results reveal that product attribute dimensions have a positive and significant influence on brand preference simultaneously. According to the coefficient of determination calculation results, the independent variable contributes 45.1% to the dependent variable.

This research aimed to examine, in the context of an African company, the effects of its marketing approach predictors on enterprise sustainability as measured by organisation performance. The researchers developed several strategies and statistics that were both descriptive and inferential. The sampling approach incorporated both probabilities and non-probability components and used a simple random sampling procedure. The data for this study was provided by Oromia International Bank, a representative organisation in Ethiopia, by investigating 426 of its customer base, including those working in modern organisations and sectors at the Bule-Hora branch. The investigation's final findings demonstrate that organisational sustainability is deteriorating and fewer marketing tactics are being implemented. The leading causes of these findings are a lack of worker dedication, a hostile work atmosphere, weak leader competency, and slow adoption of new technology. Related predictors were one of the main problems when entrepreneurial breakthrough mediation was implemented. A leader's ability is one of the most promising strategies for promoting organisational sustainability in Ethiopia. The researchers provided the appropriate body with recommendations on how to handle the predictions, resolve the problems encountered during the execution of marketing strategies, and eventually provide effective marketing strategy compliance and strong organisation sustainability.

This research aims to establish the relationship between the five components of engagement and the destination loyalty of 1,400 local visitors in the province of Ilocos Norte. Enthusiasm, attention, absorption, interaction, and identification were the variables of this study. The study included structural equation modeling and a questionnaire tailored to the pandemic-related alterations. The results of the inquiry demonstrated this zeal. Attention, interaction, and identification were the factors that influenced destination loyalty. Interaction has the greatest impact on a visitor's loyalty to a place; consequently, it is advised to improve this component. In addition, the report recommends that the provincial government and local tourism officials do more research to identify potential discrepancies between male and female visitor reactions.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our government has been forced to implement strict quarantine measures. As a result, social interaction, particularly among informal street vendors, has been restricted. The researchers undertook this study to learn more about the survival methods used by informal street vendors of Tuguegarao City, Cagayan. The current study used Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis as a qualitative research design. The informants in this study were 15 informal street vendors who were chosen through a random sampling technique. The data was gathered using an interview schedule. Two major findings were extracted from this study: (1) the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are primarily negative to informal street vending businesses. In contrast, informal street vendors suffered from a decline in sales, inconvenience in selling, increased operating expenses, and disruption in operations. (2) Due to the resilience of the informants, they are able to cope-up by employing survival strategies such as adaptation of business strategies, policy adherence, and optimism. The results of the study will provide insights to the local government on how to possibly intervene in the affairs of the informal street vendors in order to contribute to the city's local development as they are part of the economy.

The global outbreak and spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have been referred to as the most dangerous pandemic since World War II. The speed of the spread and the severity of the damage caused by the virus has traumatized the global economy affecting both banks and customers. With the lockdown imposed by the government to restrict the movement of people and activities caused by the increased level of coronavirus cases in Nigeria, the fate of the financial users of about 40 million became unknown. Given the analysis of data on trends of COVID-19 infections from the World Health Organization and Nigerian Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, the study assessed the current situation. It indicated some specific concepts that the banking sector should consider and address while taking the necessary measures to cope with the new change. The study used an ex-post-facto research design, enabling the researcher to measure the effect or relationship between the dependent variable and explanatory variables using time-series secondary data. The data collected was reviewed, and validated by CBN, the Nigeria Bureau of Statistics, and the Nigerian Inter-Bank Settlement System (NIBSS) websites. The study concluded that the ICT volume of e-payment has no significant effect on operational efficiency in Nigeria Banks, and the ICT value of e-payment significantly affects operational efficiency in Nigeria Banks during the coronavirus lockdown.

This study investigated the entrepreneurship practices (EPs) of higher education institutions (HEIs) in Region IV-A, Philippines. This descriptive-quantitative research used an adapted questionnaire which was based on the HEInnovate framework for entrepreneurial universities covering the eight dimensions. The data were gathered from 137 business educators who were affiliated with HEIs located in the five provinces of Region IV-A. Findings revealed that HEIs in the region are in their transformative stage of becoming entrepreneurial universities subject to improvements in five HEInnovate framework dimensions for entrepreneurial universities. Moreover, the study also proved that profile indicators utilized in the study are not factors for the variation of EPs among the subject-HEIs. The roadmap strategy proposed by the researchers is recommended to serve as a guide for the subject-HEIs in drawing up their plans and programs in their journey to become entrepreneurial universities.

The globe is currently experiencing a problem with unemployment, and entrepreneurship is the primary remedy to help economies recover from this crisis. Most TVET graduates are stressed by searching for salaried jobs rather than creating their businesses, which is against the mission of TVET. This motivated the researcher to study the factors determining the entrepreneurial intention of TVET students. The primary goal of this study was to identify factors that predict students at Bonga Polytechnic College to pursue entrepreneurial endeavors. The study used a quantitative technique and an explanatory research design. Primary data was collected through a survey questionnaire designed in the form of a Likert scale. Samples of 297 students were asked to complete a survey. The sample size was established using the stratified sampling technique. After the data had been collected, it was analyzed using inferential statistics such as correlation and regression with the help of SPSS v.24. The researcher found that student entrepreneurial intention was significantly influenced by gender, age, family background, attitude, entrepreneurship education, government policy, access to finance, physical infrastructure, commercial and legal infrastructure, and cultural and social norms. According to the findings of this study, each factor significantly influences entrepreneurial intention. The findings of this study contribute to the increasing body of literature on the factors that determine the entrepreneurial intentions of TVET students by providing practical contributions.
