Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze the collaboration networks of the Mexican pharmaceutical industry from an institutional approach. The pharmaceutical sector at a global level is characterized by a high dynamism in innovation and collaboration. One could say that the high value recorded by the industry is due to this. However, in Mexico the lack of efficient institutions that ensure the appropriation of profits for investment in research within the industry are not perceived, this situation leads us to the next question, What is the dynamics of collaboration between pharmaceutical companies in Mexico? To answer this question, a database was created which identifies the alliances of the companies belonging to the Canifarma. Finally, a comparison of the number of registrations and patent applications between eight of these companies is made to measure the results of this situation.

Abstract

With the rising unemployment and poverty in South Africa, there is a need to undertake studies to provide alternative sectors that can contribute to job creation. This study aims to present scientific evidence on the contribution of micro, small, medium enterprises (MSMEs) to job creation in Limpopo and also finding out possible prospects and constraints they face. It also wanted to offer policy makers opportunities to plan for MSMEs. Literature review and key informant interviews through focus group interview were used to gather data for this study. Purposive sample was adopted for this study. A total of twelve (12) tourism enterprises participated in the study. This study argues that MSMEs have capacity to create job opportunities. The other finding is that government officials are not keen to support MSMEs operating in townships. Lack of government is serious constraint they face. It recommends that planners should formulate policies that make it compulsory for government to procure goods and services from MSMEs.

Abstract

Along with the continuous advancement of technology, people are enjoying the benefits of implementing it in their daily lives. Using smartphone applications (apps) to shop is growing dramatically and creating new business opportunities for vendors. The main purpose of this research is to accomplish a measurement model of the use of mobile shopping apps among smartphone users in China through extended technology acceptance model (TAM). Smartphone users from mainland China who use the m-shopping applications were selected randomly for data collection. The questionnaire was distributed through a survey website. A number of 281smartphone users participated in this online survey and 234 of them were selected for final data analysis. The data was analysed by two statistical tools, which are IBM SPSS Statistics 24 and AMOS 24. Both exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were utilized to measure construct reliability and validity. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was deployed for inferential data analysis. The finding presented that perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEoU), information on mobile apps (IoMA) and perceived enjoyment are all influential factors for consumers to use m-shopping apps. Especially the perceived enjoyment (PE) and IoMA have an influence on usage. However, the performances of these three constructs are not executed well in term of consumer satisfaction.

Abstract

The ten countries of Southeast Asia have very diverse cultures, ranging from differences in language, religion, history, geography, political structure, social framework, and world view. How do these differences affect the ASEAN countries’ efforts at economic development, modernization, and regional integration? As they move towards unifying as an ASEAN Economic Community, this paper endeavors to assess options to meeting the challenges posed by socio-cultural integration. These include creating a common identity, individual and institutional empowerment, learning a common language, cultural education, and civic capacity building, and learning from the EU experience.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the business scale of Indonesian financial service cooperatives (IFSCs) by analyzing their cost functions. By using panel data set of saving and loan cooperatives, this research reveals that the IFSCs industry is running at an increasingly cost to scale condition, yet it is still efficient in the financial services industry market. Micro-scale IFSCs are relatively more efficient than small, medium, and large scale businesses. Furthermore, the result suggests that IFSCs business development strategy should focus on improving internal strength with changes in production technology

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impacts of inflation, economic growth (GDP), and labor wages on open unemployment in Indonesia for the period 2008-2016. The method of analysis used is a multiple linear regression with classical test and hypotheses. The results show that, partially, each of these three factors, as the only independent variables, does not have a significant effect on the open unemployment rate as the dependent variable. The regression model also shows no autocorrelation and heterocedasticity issues. While with all factors as a whole, the result shows that there is a simultaneously significant influence of the three fators on the open unemployment rate.

Abstract

Definition and Development In ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations), what constitutes a micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) varies widely between countries (i.e. Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Viet Nam, Philippines, Brunei Darussalam, and Myanmar), or even by different agencies/organisations within a country. MSMEs may range from a part time business with no hired workers or a non-employing unincorporated business (i.e. self-employed units) such as traditional business units making and selling handicrafts in rural Java in Indonesia to small-scale semiconductor manufacturers employing more than ten people in Singapore. They may range from fast growing firms to private family firms that have not changed much for decades or have stagnated They range from enterprises that are independent businesses to those that are inextricably parts of large enterprises (LEs), such as those that belong to regional or global subcontracting networks. The only true common characteristic of MSMEs is that they are ‘not-large’; that is, whether or not a firm is really a MSME is relative. Most enterprises from the MSME category are actually very small and about 70 to 80 per cent of them employ fewer than five (5) people. Just a very small number of firms, typically ranging from 1 to 4 per cent, have more than 100 employees

Abstract

The article examines the evolution of cooperative relations within a French competitive cluster located in the Paris region, the ‘Systématic’ cluster. He questions the importance of geographical proximity as a basis for setting up and developing knowledge transfers. From an exhaustive list of labeled RandD projects within the cluster, between 2005 and 2015, the article verifies this hypothesis and confirms Krugman's analyzes and Feldman on the importance of externalities to understand the phenomenon of collocated activities. But the article also highlights the importance of non-spatial proximities (organizational, institutional and social) to understand the dispersion of companies outside the cluster and draws some lessons for the industrial policy of competitiveness clusters.
