Abstract

In recent decades, academic dishonesty (plagiarism) has been a prevalent issue and of grave concern to the academic community, prompting numerous researchers to conduct studies aimed at identifying the myriad of factors that contribute to the malady. The study explores the influence of cyber-ethical awareness on mitigating plagiarism in the use of chatbot technologies among Nigerian undergraduate students. It begins by introducing the concepts of cyberethics, plagiarism, and chatbot technologies. The review then examines the relationship between chatbot technologies and academic integrity, highlighting the factors that contribute to plagiarism in this context. Additionally, it investigates the prevalence of plagiarism among Nigerian undergraduate students. The review also explores the connection between cyber-ethical awareness and plagiarism, emphasizing the importance of fostering cyber-ethical awareness to reduce instances of plagiarism. It examines the existing level of cyber-ethical awareness among Nigerian undergraduate students and discusses the role of such awareness in preventing plagiarism. Furthermore, the review presents various strategies to promote cyber-ethical awareness. These include educational initiatives aimed at educating students about the responsible use of technology, the establishment of institutional policies and guidelines to discourage plagiarism, and the use of technology-based solutions to detect and prevent plagiarism. In conclusion, the review emphasizes the significance of promoting cyber-ethical awareness among Nigerian undergraduate students to address the issue of plagiarism in the use of chatbot technologies. By fostering an understanding of ethical practices in technology use, universities can enhance academic integrity and ensure a culture of responsible scholarship.

Abstract

The COVID–19 pandemic has had an abrupt impact on India’s micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). As per the data available from the Central Statistical Office, the share of MSMEs in gross value added is 33 percent and the share in the total gross domestic product is 30 percent at all India levels. In terms of employment after agriculture, the MSMEs provide more than 110 million jobs in both rural and urban areas, it is nearly 9 percent of the total population of India, and the largest employment provider after the primary sector. The MSMEs in India are led by three important sectors, namely, Manufacturing, Electricity, Trade, and other services. After the declaration of WHO, in India, the lockdown was enforced by the Union and State governments in two waves of COVID-19 with full and partial restrictions. The small and medium- scale enterprise was severely encountered in both waves (2020 and 2021). Before COVID-19, the Demonitation and GST (good and service tax) regulations of the Union government had negatively hit the business of MSMEs. COVID-19 considerably affected the MSME in various forms viz., disruptions of the supply chain, the shutdown of demand and supply side markets, mental health issues, war between business and life for balancing, inadequate finances to meet day-to-day life business like rental and electricity charges, wages and compensation to workers. After the unlocking of the first wave, the MSMEs started their business gradually up to December 2020; however, the second wave started in February 2021 and hit the MSME business at the national level. The study aims to understand the impact of COVID-19 on India’s MSME sectors by analyzing the value of output, employment and trade, and other related sub-sectors of MSMEs. This study also highlights the significant policy matters to recover the unsoundness of MSMEs sectors under COVID-19 pandemic times and in different phases of national level lockdown. The results show the manufacturing growth rate was moved to negative 22 percent in March 2021 and 0.1 percent in February 2021. The Union government has introduced many financial packages to battered businesses. Finally, the study concluded that the sustainability of economic growth will depend on the recovery and strengthening of the MSME sectors.

Abstract

The purpose of this article was to examine how Islamic financial instruments aid micro- businesses in Nigeria by providing funding. The micro-enterprise sector offers prospects for economic growth, investment, and job creation, but because it lacks direct access to capital, it is mainly underdeveloped. This study identifies the potential of Islamic financial instruments as a source of funding for micro-enterprises by combining qualitative and quantitative research approaches in a novel way to comprehend the current financing structures. A survey of Nigerian micro-businesses is one of the research's efforts, along with a number of semi-structured interviews and document analysis. The findings of the research suggest that the majority of microenterprises are unaware of or have no access to Islamic financial instruments, and there is a need for better education and awareness regarding these instruments. Additionally, the research paper concludes with recommendations for policymakers and practitioners on how to increase the use of Islamic financial instruments in Nigeria to promote micro-enterprises for economic growth and development.

Abstract

There are over 500 million MSMEs worldwide, of which 60% are in emergent economies. A third of these are in Muslim countries. In many of these countries, individuals and enterprises are excluded from the formal financial system, whether voluntarily or not. The MSMEs are financially un-served or underserved. Governments and multilateral agencies like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) the World Bank and their affiliates note that Islamic finance has grown rapidly and can be leveraged for strong economic growth. The study was intended to establish the major reasons for financial exclusions being more pronounced in some regions than in others, and whether this can be resolved by the new, financial technology, Islamic finance. The major finding is that religion plays a key role and that Islamic finance can be one of the tools to redress the situation. The methodology used has been a rigorous review of articles in credible peer- reviewed journals, conference papers, books, research projects, and the internet. The data gathered thus has been synthesized, correlated, and conclusions drawn.

Abstract

The paper explores the reaction of small and medium enterprises in Poland to the latest economic slowdown. In order to show some regularities that occurred in the way the small businesses responded to the crisis numerous studies that represented different perspectives and methodologies are summarized in the paper. The experiences of Poland provide some convincing evidence that the resistance to the negative external factors of particular subsectors of the SMEs depends on the specific futures of small businesses. Moreover, it becomes evident that conservative business strategies adapted by the majority of the SMEs make the later more resistant to the crisis. Generally, the results of the study stand in opposition to the popular view in which small businesses are identified with dynamic entrepreneurship and development.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to review the various policy approaches that can be used to tackle entrepreneurship in the shadow economy. To do this, it firstly reviews four possible policy options, namely taking no action, eradicating shadow entrepreneurship, moving legitimate entrepreneurship into the shadow economy, or transforming shadow entrepreneurship into legitimate entrepreneurship. Revealing that transforming shadow entrepreneurship into legitimate entrepreneurship is not only the most viable option but also the approach most commonly adopted by supra-national agencies and national governments, a review is then undertaken of how this can be achieved using either direct controls, which seek to increase the costs of shadow entrepreneurship and/or the benefits of legitimate entrepreneurship, or indirect controls that seek to generate a commitment to compliance and greater self-regulation. How these approaches can be combined is then reviewed. The outcome is a comprehensive review and evaluation of the various policy approaches available to policy-makers for addressing shadow entrepreneurship along with some recommendations regarding the way forward.

Abstract

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs hereafter) in the local districts in Southeast Asian countries, Thailand, Indonesia and Japan are explored. The aim is to show how ‘collectivism’ in these Asian countries is linked with innovation in rural/local industry. ‘Collectivism’ is an abstract concept itself. The exploration of community-based ‘collectivism’ in actuality in these countries shows that ‘collectivism’ is the dynamic of innovation to fight against economic difficulties, depopulation and poverty in rural/local district. The main focus is on ‘one village, one product’ movement in Japan and Thailand. Indonesia is an interesting case of innovation in terms of community-based industry. In the case of Japan, other rural/local movement among SMEs is introduced in relation to community-based collectivism and innovation. The paper explores the issues why things were, how they were, how they got to be that way and what was making them change. For this a historical, political economy, and anthropological perspective is necessary. The main findings are: 1. ‘Collectivism' is the inner dynamic of innovation in rural/local industry in these Asian countries. 2. Community-based ‘collectivism’ as solidarity and cooperative capability is the foundation of innovation. 3. SMEs as rural/ local industry as such could be gathering momentum in these countries. 4. These rural/local industries tend to be self-reliant and sustainable.

Abstract

Tourism is central to the growth of numerous regions across the world, including Poland. A substantial part of infrastructure designed to serve tourists is created by microenterprises. These entities possess limited human or financial resources, and this translates into reduced possibilities for applying diverse competitiveness instruments. It seems that an attractive concept recommended to be pursued for their growth is relationship marketing. For the purposes of this paper, the authors conducted consumer research using the PAPI method and a series of interviews within the companies discussed. The results obtained helped to positively verify the hypothesis presuming that microenterprises enjoy substantial potentials for establishing relationships, though these potentials are not fully used. Moreover, the findings from the consumer research revealed the factors pivotal in delivering tourist satisfaction, which is then an essential requirement for developing positive relationships.

Abstract

The rapid proliferation of free trade agreements (FTAs) in Asia has sparked academic and policy interest in FTA preference use by SMEs. Using firm survey data, this paper evaluated the characteristics of SMEs that utilize FTA preferences in Malaysia, and the policy implications. The econometric analysis indicates that certain SME characteristics - firm size, a good understanding of FTA provisions, exposure to trade, and a central geographical location – are positively associated with the likelihood of using FTAs. The descriptive analysis suggested that key reasons for non-use of FTAs by SMEs are a lack of information on the implications of FTAs and the absence of FTAs with major trading partners. Concluding FTAs with major trading partners and improved business support for SMEs (though public and private service provision) will help facilitate SME use of FTAs.
