Abstract

Background:Mobile marketing has emerged as a transformative force in consumer engagement, particularly in emerging markets where smartphone adoption and digital connectivity are rapidly increasing. Mobile platforms serve as essential channels for businesses to reach diverse audiences, offering personalized and contextually relevant experiences. Despite its potential, mobile marketing faces challenges such as connectivity issues, digital literacy gaps, and privacy concerns. Aims:This study aims to explore the impact of mobile marketing on consumer behavior in emerging markets. It investigates the drivers of mobile commerce adoption, examines the challenges businesses face, and evaluates the long-term effects of mobile marketing on brand loyalty and advocacy. The goal is to provide actionable insights for optimizing mobile marketing strategies. Research Method:A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys of 500 respondents with qualitative interviews of 40 participants across emerging markets. Statistical tools were used to analyze trends, while thematic analysis uncovered deeper insights into consumer preferences and challenges. Results and Conclusion:The findings reveal that 64% of respondents make at least one monthly purchase via mobile devices, with convenience, secure payment options, and user-friendly interfaces as key drivers. Social media platforms, particularly Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, play a significant role in shaping consumer behavior, with 78% of respondents discovering products through these channels. Challenges such as poor internet access, digital literacy gaps, and privacy concerns remain barriers to maximizing mobile marketing’s potential. Addressing these challenges through infrastructure investment, education, and transparent data practices can unlock significant opportunities. Long-term effects include increased brand loyalty (65%) and advocacy (62%), highlighting the transformative potential of mobile marketing in fostering enduring consumer relationships. Contribution:This study provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the dynamics of mobile marketing in emerging markets, offering practical recommendations for businesses to refine their strategies. It bridges the gap between theoretical concepts and real-world applications, contributing to the broader discourse on digital marketing and economic inclusion.

Abstract

Background Organizations today operate in an increasingly volatile environment characterized by frequent crises, such as natural disasters, cyberattacks, and economic downturns. These disruptions threaten operational stability and long-term viability, emphasizing the need for effective crisis management. Organizational resilience—the ability to adapt, recover, and thrive during and after crises—is essential for sustaining success. Resilience requires a multifaceted approach, integrating proactive planning, adaptive leadership, clear communication, technological innovation, and a supportive organizational culture. This study investigates how crisis management strategies enhance resilience and provides actionable insights for improving preparedness and response. Aims The study aims to explore the role of crisis management strategies in strengthening organizational resilience. Specifically, it identifies critical factors that contribute to resilience, such as leadership, communication, technology, and collaboration. Additionally, it provides practical recommendations for organizations seeking to enhance their crisis preparedness and response capabilities. By addressing these objectives, the study bridges the gap between theory and practice in managing organizational crises. Research Method A mixed-methods approach was employed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between crisis management and resilience. Quantitative surveys were conducted with 500 professionals across diverse industries to capture trends and assess the effectiveness of crisis management practices. Complementing this, qualitative interviews with 50 leaders and employees, along with three detailed case studies, provided in-depth perspectives on real-world applications. Data analysis included statistical correlations for quantitative findings and thematic evaluations for qualitative insights, ensuring a holistic view of effective crisis management strategies. Results and Conclusion The study identifies six key strategies that enhance organizational resilience. First, proactive planning, including risk assessments and crisis simulations, was found to improve readiness for unexpected events. Second, adaptive leadership, characterized by flexibility, empathy, and vision, played a critical role in guiding teams through crises while maintaining morale. Third, effective communication—both transparent and timely—was essential for fostering trust and collaboration among employees and stakeholders. Fourth, technological integration, such as real-time monitoring systems and digital collaboration tools, enhanced agility and decision-making. Fifth, a resilient organizational culture that promotes trust, innovation, and teamwork helped sustain performance during crises. Lastly, strategic external collaborations with partners and stakeholders provided additional resources and expertise, ensuring a more robust response to complex challenges. These strategies collectively improved recovery times, employee engagement, and stakeholder trust, underscoring the strong link between crisis management and resilience. Contribution This study contributes to the understanding of organizational resilience by integrating diverse crisis management strategies into a cohesive framework. The findings offer practical guidance for organizations to enhance their preparedness, response, and recovery efforts. By applying these insights, organizations can better navigate uncertainty, safeguard stability, and sustain long-term growth, highlighting the strategic importance of crisis management in today’s complex environment.

Abstract

Background : In contemporary organizations, the performance management system (PMS) plays a crucial role in aligning individual goals with organizational objectives. As competition intensifies and the workplace environment continues to evolve, PMS has emerged as a key strategy for enhancing employee productivity and satisfaction. The effectiveness of PMS, however, is often debated. While some argue that PMS increases organizational efficiency, others suggest that improperly designed systems can lead to employee dissatisfaction and decreased motivation. Given this, it is essential to explore the relationship between PMS and employee outcomes to understand how it contributes to overall organizational success. Aims : The aim of this study is to explore the impact of performance management systems on employee productivity and job satisfaction. This research seeks to identify how key components of PMS, such as goal-setting, feedback, performance appraisals, and rewards, influence these outcomes. By understanding the relationship between PMS and employee performance, the study aims to provide insights that will help organizations optimize their management practices to foster a more motivated, productive, and satisfied workforce. Research Method : This research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining both quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques. The use of both methods ensures a comprehensive understanding of the research problem by gathering numerical data for generalizability and qualitative data for deeper insights. Results and Conclusion : The results show a clear relationship between well-structured PMS and increased employee productivity and job satisfaction. Goal setting, feedback mechanisms, and performance appraisals emerged as the most significant contributors to higher productivity and greater job satisfaction. Employees who had clear, measurable goals reported better focus and higher output, while those who received regular, constructive feedback showed higher levels of engagement and satisfaction. Moreover, employees who perceived performance appraisals as fair and transparent were more motivated and felt more valued in their roles. Contribution : This study contributes to the existing literature on PMS by providing empirical evidence of the relationship between PMS components and employee outcomes in various industries. It also offers practical recommendations for organizations looking to optimize their PMS to foster a more motivated and productive workforce. Furthermore, the research highlights the importance of fairness, transparency, and employee development in the design of PMS, offering insights that can inform HR practices globally.
