Abstract

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play a critical role in Ghana’s economic growth, employment generation, and poverty reduction, yet they encounter significant hurdles in enhancing their marketing performance. With pricing strategies and product quality recognized as pivotal factors in gaining a competitive edge, this study investigates the relationships among price, product quality, and marketing performance in Ghanaian SMEs. The study targeted 100 owner-managers selected through convenience and purposive sampling, and data were analyzed using SMART PLS version 3.0 and SPSS version 25, applying the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique to test the proposed model and hypotheses. Findings reveal a notable positive association between price and marketing performance, underscoring the strategic importance of effective pricing. Additionally, a strong relationship between pricing and product quality was found, emphasizing the need for competitive pricing to support superior product quality. This study also identifies the significant role of product quality in enhancing marketing performance. Importantly, the analysis reveals that product quality mediates the relationship between price and marketing performance, providing new insights into SME dynamics. Based on these results, it is recommended that Ghana’s SMEs pursue a coordinated approach to pricing and quality management. By aligning competitive pricing with a commitment to high-quality product delivery, SMEs can drive customer satisfaction, foster loyalty, and achieve sustainable profitability, thereby improving their overall marketing performance in a competitive landscape.

Abstract

The use of social media (SM) has become pervasive in the work environment, drawing attention because of its positive and negative impacts on employee performance (EP). This study investigated the relationship between SM usage and EP in a Philippine business process outsourcing (BPO) company by examining its impact on EP in terms of productivity, communication, job satisfaction, and professional development. This descriptive-quantitative study employed a researcher-structured approach to examine the relationship between SM usage and EP in a BPO company in the Philippines. The data were collected from 121 employees of the subject BPO using a researcher-structured questionnaire administered via Google Forms and communicated to respondents via Facebook Messenger and Email. Statistical tests such as frequency, percentage, standard deviation, weighted mean, and Spearman’s rank correlation were employed in the data analysis. The findings reveal that the BPO company does not have major issues related to SM usage, and it has a positive effect on EP by increasing employee productivity, improving communication, higher job satisfaction, and providing support for professional development. In addition, there is no significant relationship between problems in SM usage and the aspect of EP on productivity, communication, job satisfaction, and professional development. The researchers suggest EP enhancing strategies like implementation of SM training programs, development of SM usage policies, improvement of company recognition and communication programs, and employee active participation in professional groups. This study can serve as a guide for developing relevant initiatives and programs to improve EP in relation to SM usage in the workplace.

Abstract

Digital transformation is revolutionizing record management and igniting a bold new era of unparalleled efficiency, enhanced security, and seamless accessibility. This study assessed the implementation of digital record management across three dimensions: efficiency gains; strengthening accuracy; and best practices and identified the challenges organizations face in achieving these goals. This descriptive-quantitative study used a researcher-structured questionnaire to collect data from 56 randomly sampled employees of a private higher education institution (HEI) in the Philippines. The data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, weighted mean, and Spearman's rank correlation analysis. The report highlights best practices in digital record management and delves deeper into data accuracy and security enhancements. The findings also demonstrate that the HEI is working hard to implement best practices in digital record management, including establishing a well-defined plan for the transition from paper to digital records. Implementation obstacles such as data loss and compatibility problems are discussed, and it is revealed that there is no meaningful connection between these challenges and the implementation of digital records management. A proposed strategy roadmap is recommended by the researchers to enhance digital record management in the subject HEI. This study on digital transformation in the records management of a private HEI in the Philippines has the potential to drive significant improvements in the institution’s operations, enhance its reputation and contribute to the broader goals of HEIs in the country.

Abstract

The volatile and unpredictable nature of the cryptocurrency market poses significant challenges for making profitable trading decisions. This study investigated the profitability of cryptocurrency trading strategies employed by investors of a Philippine-based online community. A descriptive-correlational design was used, employing a Google Forms survey administered to 100 investors who are members of a private online cryptocurrency trading group based in a specific province in the Philippines. Data analysis included frequency, percentage, weighted mean, Pearson’s r, and t-test. Results indicated that most investors are young, educated professionals with employment in finance-related fields, suggesting a familiarity with trading systems. All trading strategies were perceived as generally effective in their contribution to profitability, with algorithmic trading and diversification showing the strongest positive correlations. Demographic variables—particularly sex, age, income, and profession—significantly influenced strategy choice. Younger, wealthier, and more professionally experienced individuals favored more advanced approaches, such as algorithmic trading and diversification. Based on the study's findings, the researchers proposed chapter guidelines for an investor’s guidebook, offering step-by-step strategies tailored to demographic characteristics to help optimize profitability and manage risk. Study limitations include the small and geographically limited samples, as well as the absence of longitudinal data. Future research should involve broader samples and the use of other research methods to validate these findings and explore the effectiveness of long-term cryptocurrency trading strategies.

Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of market orientation on the performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Kumasi, Ghana, emphasizing its relevance for emerging economies. The study addresses a gap in empirical research on this topic, underscoring its significance. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire, resulting in 200 valid responses from top executives and managers, which were subsequently analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to explore the relationships between market orientation and firm performance. The findings reveal a significant negative relationship between competitor orientation and firm performance, while customer orientation and inter-functional orientation show positive and significant correlations with firm performance. These results underscore the critical role of customer and market-oriented dimensions in enhancing SME performance, advocating for a stronger market orientation within SMEs. Additionally, the study suggests that new companies should focus on developing a market-oriented profile and strategically utilizing their resources. It emphasizes the importance of caution for companies seeking to adopt market orientation, considering industry context, timing, and strategies for leveraging internal resources and core competencies to achieve optimal performance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of promotional activities and boycott actions on consumer purchasing decisions, with sales response serving as an intervening variable. The research approach applied is quantitative and causal, utilizing the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The population in this study consisted of McDonald's consumers in the DKI Jakarta area, with a sample size of 110 respondents, including 58 women and 52 men, selected using a purposive sampling technique. The results indicate that promotions have a positive and significant impact on sales response and purchase decisions. Conversely, boycotts have no impact on sales responses or purchasing decisions. This study examines the impact of promotions and boycotts on McDonald's purchasing behavior in DKI Jakarta. Utilizing sales response as the mediating variable, which has not been thoroughly discussed previously, the findings indicate that promotions exert a substantial influence, whilst boycotts do not affect outcomes. The Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method offers an innovative perspective on marketing strategies and brand crisis management in Indonesia, facilitating more intricate analyses.
