This study analyzes the effect of e-training, career
development, and employee resilience on employee productivity of
State-Owned Enterprises for Survey Services in Indonesia. The sample in
this study were employees of one of the State-Owned Enterprises for Survey
Services. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling with a valid
response of 270 respondents. The research method used is quantitative. Data
was collected by distributing questionnaires using a five-point Likert
scale. Data were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis and Structural
Equation Modeling (SEM) using Amos 24. The results showed that e-training
and career development had a significant positive effect on employee resilience.
Career development and employee resilience had a significant positive
effect on employee productivity. In contrast, e-training does not affect
employee productivity. The results of this study provide useful
implications for policymakers to determine company strategies related to
e-training, career development, and employee resilience to increase
employee productivity.

The purpose of this
study is to clarify the factors affecting the student's expected tuition
fees in the context that most public universities in Vietnam are not
financially self-sufficient, given the relatively limited state budget.
That is why public universities are interested in the expected tuition fees
of students so that they can change their policies accordingly in
allocating available resources. Enhance its competitive position with
universities with similar tuition fees. This competition contributes to
improving the quality of the whole higher education system. The study
identifies the factors affecting the tuition policies in public higher
education through the quantitative research method by analyzing
questionnaires collected from 250 students from 6 public universities in
Vietnam. The results show that the factors affecting tuition fees of public
higher education in Vietnam are: (1) Lecturers (L), (2) Curriculums (Cr),
(3) Student skills (Ss), (4) Teaching methods (Tm), (5) Facilities (F), (6)
Curriculums content (Cc), (7) Course structure (Cs). Based on research
results, the study also proposes solutions to improve tuition policies to
support learners at public universities in Vietnam.

In any nation across the
world, effective governance involves improving the lives of all, providing
value for new generations, consistent allocation of duties and functions,
accountable decisions, providing quality of information, transparency and
responsibility, good performance, a strong legal system, and above all
developing sustainability on all levels. Governance is rooted and
established based on the collaboration and coordination among nation’s
governments, organizations, and people. The sluggishness in setting such
governance goals as well as the incapability of many governments, like the
Lebanese one, to develop and execute adequate legislative and
institutional initiatives coupled with the absence of corporate
governance knowledge, given that organizations remain connected to their
elderly conventional method to manage their businesses that are
based on nepotism, corruption legislation, and sectarian distribution,
represent a crucial challenge for any reform and good governance
endeavor. This paper aims to approach the need for Lebanon to reconsider
new governance strategy and organizational and institutional reforms,
especially, in conjunction with the severe economic crisis facing the
country, the explosion of the port of Beirut on August 4, 2020, and the
awaiting implementation of CEDRE project. The analysis revealed that moving
to a new perspective in a complicated social and political environment,
like Lebanon, involves multiple aspects. As a result, an in-depth
implementation of a New Lebanese Public Governance in Lebanon
along with political stabilization must lead to a
progressive structural administrative reform and change which will also
contribute to boosting confidence with the international community and
speed up the international financial donation and support that will help
Lebanon to heal its wounds and rise again. The defiance is to figure
out if this could be another lost opportunity.

The aim of this
research is to look into the impact of audit committee capabilities and
internet financial reporting on Nigerian listed financial firms. For this
study, a correlation research design was used. All fifty-two (52) financial
firms listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange as of April 2020 make up the
study's population. A total of 44 financial firms listed on the Nigeria
Stock Exchange were sampled using a judgemental
sampling process. Secondary data for measuring internet financial reporting
transparency was extracted from the investor relations sections of each
sample firm's corporate website, while secondary data for measuring audit
committee capabilities came from the non-financial information section of
the sampled firms' annual reports for a five-year period spanning the 2014
to 2018 financial years. The researchers used a pool of ordinary linear
regressions to analyse the results. The validity
of statistical inferences was tested using a diagnostic test. The study's
results reveal that audit committee operation and competency have a
significant positive relationship with internet financial reporting.
Meanwhile, there is no connection between audit committee independence and
audit committee size and internet financial reporting. As a result, the
study suggests that regulators allow businesses to disclose financial
details through their websites. A series of lectures or workshops should be
held to inform the board and management about how the implementation of
internet financial reporting will draw in more shareholders, increase
transparency, and save money, according to the analysis. This study is
restricted to only listed financial firms in Nigeria. Therefore, the
findings of this study cannot be generalised.
Because this study is limited to listed financial firms in Nigeria, future
research can be expanded to other business sectors.

Various methods of
multicriteria optimization have been developed and have recently been
widely applied in trade. With this in mind, this paper investigates the
performance of food retailers in Serbia based on the ELECTRE method. The
goal and purpose of researching the efficiency problems of leading food
retailers using the ELECTRE method is to see as realistically as possible
their position on the food market in Serbia in order to improve in the
future by more efficient control of critical factors and implementation of
relevant measures. In addition to the challenges, topicality, significance
and complexity, the reasons for researching the given problem in this paper
are reflected in that. In addition, by applying the ELECTRE method, more
realistic results are obtained in relation to the ratio analysis,
especially in combination with other methods of multicriteria analysis
(TOPSIS, AHP, ARAS and others). The results of the research show that
Delhaize Serbia is the best company in terms of performance. This is the
result of Delhaize Serbia's good position in the retail market in Serbia.
It applies new business models (private label, sales of organic products,
multi-channel sales - stores and electronic). It applies modern concepts of
cost management, sales, assets, capital, customers, product categories and
profit. In addition to all that, the digitalization of the entire business
is at a high level. These and other factors have positively influenced its
good positioning on the retail food market in Serbia.

The study was driven by
the need to elevate consumers’ switching costs so as to minimise
consumer churning behaviour. The purpose of this
study was to examine the effect of the product strategy on consumers’ brand
switching intention behaviour. A marketing
orientation of managing a product from a holistic approach was adopted and
that was informed by previous theoretical modelling. The study followed a
quantitative approach in the cola industry in
Zimbabwe. Data was collected using questionnaires from a sample size of 432
respondents. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) - Amos Graphics was used to
analyse data. The study confirmed that a holistic
approach to product strategy is statistically significant in minimising churning behaviour
of customers. Product availability and product quality were inversely
influencing behavioural intention to switch
brands whilst product price recorded a significant positive impact. Product
range had an insignificant association with consumer attrition. The study
concluded that consumers’ switching behaviour can
be managed through a well implemented product strategy. To plummet brand
switching behaviour, the study recommends
effective product pricing, effective product distribution and improvements
in product quality.

This paper aims to
highlight the role of continuing education among the teachers of India. The
study identifies factors which influence teachers in Higher education
institutions (HEI) for continuing education. The paper also explores the
impact of continuing education on career growth and development. A
systematic survey was conducted among the teachers in Higher education
institutions of Uttarakhand, India. Factor analysis is used to identify the
important factors that influence teachers to enrol
for continuing education. SPSS and AMOS are used to analyse
the data. The findings of the study indicate that factors like time,
financial support, job opportunities, knowledge, skills, and abilities play
a detrimental role among teachers for continuing education. This study also
reveals that continuing education has a positive impact on career growth
and development of teachers. Continuing education helps the teachers to
explore better career opportunities, provides job security, salary
increment, and promotion which contributes to their professional growth and
personality development. Continuing education in teachers demonstrates a
significant role in the development of interpersonal skills, technical
skills and inculcates self-confidence that contributes to their personal
growth. The importance of paper increases amidst the COVID19 pandemic and
the launch of the National Education Policy in India, as the paper will
provide support to the Higher education institutes and Government to frame
policies and strategies to imbibe continuing education as an integral part
of the education system. The paper by enumerating its benefits, motivates
the teachers to enhance their qualifications and enhance their future
prospects.
