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. |
