This study investigates the impact of Sephora's femvertising brand campaign on consumer perceptions in the beauty industry, with a specific focus on brand image, the effectiveness of femvertising advertisements, and potential influences on future cosmetic brand choices. Semistructured in-depth interviews were conducted with 18 participants in Türkiye, and thematic analysis revealed significant insights. The findings highlight Sephora's significant influence on participants' understanding and engagement with the brand. Participants recognized Sephora as a well-known brand, attributing it to effective marketing efforts, collaborations with influencers, and a strong social media presence. The study also revealed diverse perceptions and preferences regarding beauty standards and product usage. Participants acknowledged Sephora's unique qualities, such as premium products and a pleasant in-store experience, while price was mentioned as a limiting factor. Notably, the specific Sephora ad, "the unlimited power of beauty," resonated strongly with participants, emphasizing self-acceptance, inclusivity, and brand activism. Overall, the study underscores the importance of brand awareness, strategic marketing, inclusivity, and empowering messages in shaping consumer perceptions, fostering brand activism, and influencing future brand choices within the competitive beauty industry. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the role of femvertising in consumer behavior and provide valuable insights for marketers and practitioners in the beauty industry.

This systematic review meticulously explores the transformative impact of digital technologies on the grid planning, grid operations, and energy market dynamics of power distribution grids. Utilizing a robust methodological framework, over 54,000 scholarly articles were analyzed to investigate the integration and effects of artificial intelligence, machine learning, optimization, the Internet of Things, and advanced metering infrastructure within these key subsections. The literature was categorized to show how these technologies contribute specifically to grid planning, operation, and market mechanisms. It was found that digitalization significantly enhances grid planning through improved forecasting accuracy and robust infrastructure design. In operations, these technologies enable real-time management and advanced fault detection, thereby enhancing reliability and operational efficiency. Moreover, in the market domain, they support more efficient energy trading and help in achieving regulatory compliance, thus fostering transparent and competitive markets. However, challenges such as data complexity and system integration are identified as critical hurdles that must be overcome to fully harness the potential of smart grid technologies. This review not only highlights the comprehensive benefits but also maps out the interdependencies among the planning, operation, and market strategies, underlining the critical role of digital technologies in advancing sustainable and resilient energy systems.

The "Innovating the Use of Labour Market Intelligence within European Universities" (LMI-EUniv) project, set within the Erasmus+ programme's Key Action 2, represents a pioneering effort to harness Labour Market Intelligence (LMI) for enhancing the alignment between higher education offerings and labour market demands across Europe. This initiative, led by a consortium including the West University of Timisoara, University of Milano-Bicocca, University of Tallinn, Prospektiker, and the Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research, aimed to explore the current utilisation of labour market information and intelligence by European universities in planning and delivering their educational provisions. With a focus on fostering the congruence of educational supply with labour market demand through innovative learning and teaching methodologies, the project sought to empower Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) with the skills and competencies necessary to meet these challenges. By mapping essential LMI sources at a national level, examining the use of LMI across European HEIs, and developing a comprehensive training course and an online Labour Market Intelligence Hub, this project aspired to create an indispensable reference for HEIs. This article synthesises the project's key findings, underscoring the critical role of labour market intelligence in adapting academic curricula to meet specific labour market needs, thereby contributing to the broader discourse on the integration of LMI in higher education and its implications for curriculum development, graduate employability, and the overarching alignment between education and labour market expectations.

In the current era of intense rivalry, organizations must develop effective marketing strategies to differentiate themselves and raise awareness about their products or services. The effective execution of optimal marketing mix strategies possesses the capability to augment brand equity as well as establish a formidable competitive position. Unfortunately, the implications of 4Ps marketing mix strategies on the profitability of petroleum businesses (especially automotive fuels and autogas, or LPG) in Afghanistan have received little attention and have not been adequately investigated. The current study sought to determine the effectiveness of 4Ps marketing mix strategies and their relationship to increasing the petroleum company's profitability in Afghanistan. A case study approach was used to evaluate the marketing mix strategies applied by Zhakfar Petroleum, operated by the company Zhakfar Logistics and Services Ltd. Primary and secondary data was collected via personal interviews with the CEO, branch managers, finance managers, and the website of the company. Content analysis was used to evaluate the data obtained from both the survey and the sales data of the company. The research suggested that the company employed various marketing strategies related to "Product", "Price", "Place", and "Promotion", which demonstrated a significant growth rate of 34.51% during three months of marketing campaigns.

Nappi, fermented shrimp, is a traditional diet that is widely consumed by the ethnic communities of Southeast Asian countries, especially in Bangladesh. The present study was carried out to determine the proximate composition of Nappi collected from two different places, i.e., the Moheshkhali and Chaufaldandi areas of Cox's Bazar district, Bangladesh. Traditional methods were used to prepare Nappi, and the standard procedure was followed to determine the proximate composition. The proximate composition of Nappi varied from place to place depending on the raw materials, preparation techniques, and surrounding conditions of the formulation places. Associated statistical analysis was conducted by r-programming (version 4.2.3). Proximate composition includes moisture, protein, ash, fat, and carbohydrate contents, amounting to 37.66 ± 1.51%, 34.34 ± 0.68%, 17.49 ± 0.46%, 8.53 ± 0.45%, and 1.39 ± 0.10%, respectively, for the Moheshkhali sample and 35.44 ± 1.37%, 37.23 ± 1.78%, 18.46 ± 0.59%, 6.00 ± 0.40%, and 2.66 ± 0.21%, respectively, for the Chaufaldandi sample. The study showed that moisture and fat content were significantly higher (ANOVA, p < 0.05) in the Moheshkhali sample. In contrast, protein, carbohydrate, and ash content were substantially higher (ANOVA, p < 0.05) in the Chaufaldandi sample. Nappi's marketing strategy, supply channel, and value chain were also analyzed. The study's findings revealed that the quality of Nappi relied on fresh raw materials, the hygienic condition of the processing places, and suitable techniques. Moreover, good-quality Nappi has a significant market demand among the local ethnic communities in Bangladesh and the ethnic communities living abroad. So, it is recommended that interventions be provided on proper preparation techniques and marketing channels for Nappi. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

PRICES ,WILLINGNESS to pay ,TIME trials ,IMPLICIT attitudes ,PRODUCT design ,MARKETING strategy - Abstract
Accurately estimating consumers' willingness-to-pay (WTP) is crucial to product design, pricing decisions, and the design of competitive marketing strategies. However, traditional self-report measures of WTP are susceptible to many reporting biases, including tactical responding or an inability to make accurate estimates. Importantly, appraisals also occur automatically (i.e., in the absence of substantial time, intention, awareness, and/or substantial cognitive resources) and implicit measures used to capture automatic appraisals are less susceptible to the sort of reporting biases that self-report measures can be affected by. However, the only existing implicit measure for assessing automatic price appraisals (the Task Rule Congruency paradigm, 'TRC') is impractical because of the large number of trials and time it requires. Accordingly, here we introduce the Implicit Attribute Classification Task (IMPACT), test its effectiveness for the measurement of automatic price appraisals (Study 1), and directly compare its effectiveness and utility with that of the TRC (Study 2). We find that the IMPACT is an efficient measure of automatic price appraisals, that it produces considerably larger effects compared to the TRC, and that it does so while substantially shortening the procedure. We also discuss how the IMPACT scores can be used to derive an implicit measure of willingness to pay. Our findings make a substantial contribution to both research and practice by providing an effective tool that facilitates, for the first time, an efficient exploration of implicit WTP.

A comparative analysis of digital leadership between IKEA and some global R&C businesses reveals IKEA's strategic uniqueness in digitalization. The research concludes by proposing a process model that identifies several factors, including networking, customer understanding, marketing strategies, talented HR specialists, and smart technologies for operations. By applying change management theories, manufacturing theories, and innovation theories, these factors can potentially contribute to achieving success in digital leadership. The study tries to triangulate digital leadership strategies, management thoughts, and R&C business operations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this article is to substantiate the key determinants of the external environment, which significantly affect the formation and financing of modern marketing strategies in the field of information technology. The study analyzes the system of financing marketing strategies in the field of information technology in Ukraine. According to the results of the literature review, the synergistic effect of the influence of determinants on the policy of formation and financing of marketing strategies in the field of information technology is identified. For this purpose, the method of economic analysis was used to assess the strength of the relationship between different determinants, the synergetic method, which revealed a possible group effect on the formation and financing of marketing strategies. In addition, the method of multiple regression analysis was used to reflect the influence of factors on the level of financing of marketing strategies in the field of information technology. The innovativeness of the obtained results is disclosed through the developed scientific approach to assessing the relationship of certain determinants in the field of formation and financing of modern marketing strategies in the field of information technology by identifying the common effect of influence. The results of the study substantiate the fact that martial law has a negative impact on the formation and financing of modern marketing strategies in the field of information technology. The results of the calculations showed that the development of information technology is explained by significant changes in the external environment. The study has limitations in the form of taking into account only the field of information technology and not taking into account other factors that also indirectly have an impact. Prospects for further research will be aimed at studying the determinants of the post-war period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Contemporary trade companies operate within a multifaceted and rapidly changing environment that is shaped by both exogenous and endogenous factors, where digital marketing technologies play a special role. The purpose of the article is to identify the connection between digital marketing technologies and retail business sales regarding their use in marketing budget effectiveness. The study utilized the method of econometric analysis (regression analysis, analysis of descriptive statistics) as well as the method of social network analysis. Regression analysis showed the importance of investment in advertising and customization of marketing campaigns due to the cuttingedge technologies. Factors such as advertising budget, the number of posts, likes, and comments on social networks have a significant impact on sales. Based on the model's findings, every extra dollar allocated towards advertising amplifies sales by 0.0497 units, indicating the importance of investment in advertising campaigns. The sales distribution is somewhat skewed with a mean of 909 and a median of 922. The analysis revealed significant variability in key variables, indicating the diversity of strategies and conditions in which different companies operate. Practical digital marketing solutions for retail businesses include increased investment in social media advertising, regular posts, and engagement through likes and comments. The promising area for further research is to explore the potential of artificial intelligence for personalizing retail business marketing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

MARKET entry ,MARKET timing ,PRODUCT launches ,MARKETING strategy ,PRODUCT lines - Abstract
Frequently releasing a new product generation has become a common practice to sustain sales over time, thus accurately forecasting the sales trajectory of each product generation plays a vital role in the short-, medium-, and long-term planning of a firm. Classic multigeneration diffusion models do not incorporate within-generation repeat purchases, making them unusable for product lines with high rates of such purchases. Concentrating on technology products, we develop a multigeneration sales model to fill this void. We demonstrate that the new model can be used for predictive and prescriptive analytics. Our empirical results show that the new model estimates and forecasts sales more accurately than a state-of-the-art benchmark model that does not account for within-generation repeat purchases, underscoring the importance of incorporating repeat purchases. Furthermore, we use two different versions of our model to examine market entry timing under two main strategies, that is, (i) a phase-out transition strategy in which firms continue to sell the old generation after the release of the new generation, and (ii) a total transition strategy in which firms discontinue the old generation after the introduction of the new generation. Our results indicate that the repeat purchases rate determines whether it is optimal to expedite or delay the new product launch, underscoring the importance of incorporating repeat purchases in market entry strategies.

Stance information has a significant influence on market strategy, government policy, and public opinion. Users differ not only in their polarity but also in the degree to which they take a stand. The traditional classification of stances is quite simple and cannot fully depict the diversity of stances. At the same time, traditional approaches ignore user sentiment features when expressing their stances. As a result, this paper develops a multi-stance detection model by fusing sentiment features. First, a five-category stance indicator system is built based on the LDA model, then sentiment features are extracted from the reviews using the sentiment lexicon, and finally, stance detection is implemented using a hybrid neural network model. The experiment shows that the proposed method can classify stances into five categories and perform stance detection more accurately. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper studies the impact of international business coaching via virtual collaboration technology on the strategies and sales of emerging market entrepreneurs. This paper studies the impact of international business coaching via virtual collaboration technology on the strategies and sales of emerging market entrepreneurs. It sheds light on three novel research questions. (1) What is the effect of virtual business coaching on firm sales? (2) What is the mechanism through which this effect occurs? Specifically, does virtual coaching stimulate shifts in marketing strategy? (3) Do entrepreneurs benefit more from virtual coaching when they are less strategic in their decision making? We conducted a randomized controlled field experiment with 930 entrepreneurs in Uganda to examine the impact of a virtual coaching intervention that connects management professionals in primarily advanced markets and entrepreneurs in emerging markets with the aim of improving business performance. The analysis finds a positive and significant main effect on firm sales; treatment entrepreneurs increase monthly sales by 27.6% on average. In addition, entrepreneurs who receive virtual coaching are 52.8% more likely to have shifted their marketing strategy in a new direction. Moreover, consistent with this mechanism of inducing strategic business changes, the results show that entrepreneurs who receive virtual coaching tend to do better when they (ex ante) lack strategic focus. These results have important implications for the development of marketing strategies by entrepreneurs and multinational managers, as well as for policy makers interested in improving the performance of small firms in emerging markets and beyond.

As a motivational factor, uniqueness drives individuals to seek and choose unique goods or experiences. The act of wearing masks obscures individuals' facial features and influences their desire for uniqueness. This study aims to explore how wearing masks promotes individual uniqueness-seeking behavior. Three experiments were performed using various product categories (Starbucks coffee cups, sweatshirts, suitcases, and baseball caps) and sample types (college student and adult samples). Experiment results show that wearing masks obscures individuals' facial features and weakens their self-perceived uniqueness, thereby increasing their willingness to actively purchase unique products. This study is the first to examine the effect of wearing masks on individuals' choice of unique products. Practically, the results suggest that customized products can compensate for the lack of self-perceived uniqueness brought about by facial occlusion, thus providing valuable guidance for companies and retailers that offer customized services in formulating and designing marketing strategies.

This article investigates theoretical and methodological approaches to developing a marketing strategy for public procurement management in the context of European integration processes and reform of the public procurement system in Ukraine. The necessity of implementing a marketing strategy as an effective tool to increase the efficiency and transparency of public procurement activities is substantiated under modern economic conditions. The conceptual foundations for the formation of a marketing strategy for public procurement management are defined. Its main goal is to build successful and long-term partnerships between public customers and supplier companies based on the rational use of budget funds and the development of effective competition. Priority functions of the marketing strategy are outlined: comprehensive marketing analysis of public customers' needs; market research to find the most competitive suppliers; ensuring effective communication between all participants; and the implementation of effective marketing measures to increase transparency and the openness of procurement procedures. A universal step-by-step algorithm for the formation of a public procurement marketing strategy is developed, including the following: analysis of the current state and identification of deficiencies in the existing system; clear definition of targets, objectives and priority areas for reform; selection of optimal marketing tools; directly implement the strategy and continuously monitor the results. A comprehensive classification of the types of marketing strategies in public procurement by their target orientation is presented. To increase the validity and minimize risks in decision-making regarding supplier selection, an original mathematical model for the formation of competitive prices based on nonlinear programming methods is proposed. This model allows considering the interests of all participants in the procurement process: determining the optimal vector of prices for goods/services based on the utility functions and preferences of customers, their budget constraints, and the technological capabilities of potential suppliers. The versatility of the model lies in the possibility of its application for any number of participants and product groups. The implementation of an effective marketing strategy for public procurement management will contribute to the formation of a highly efficient, transparent and competitive public procurement system focused on the rational use of budget funds, the development of fair competition among suppliers, and the minimization of corruption risks in this area.

The current article reviews the opinions and counterarguments within the scientific argument on the causal linkage between the components of marketing strategy and client loyalty. The systematization of the literary sources demonstrated that the causal connections from the components of marketing strategy to client loyalty are different. However, nearly none of the research projects have rated and compared the differences among the components of marketing strategies in improving client loyalty. Therefore, the key purpose of this article is to weigh the relative importance of the components of marketing strategy to client loyalty. The current research developed research hypotheses based on experiential learning theory, resource dependency theory, and social exchange theory. Vietnam was chosen as a case study because it is one of the fastest emerging economies. The research data were gathered by employing a structured questionnaire. For this research, responses from 210 enterprises were collected using the simple random sampling method from 1128 firms publicly listed on the main stock exchanges in Vietnam. Finally, this research yielded 222 suitable replies with satisfactory compulsory information. Then, this project employed the procedures of the analytic hierarchy to assess the comparative importance of the components of Product, Price, Place and Promotion of marketing strategy to client loyalty. The results show that Price strategy is first, Pricing is second, Sales promotion is third, Advertising is fourth, Allowances is fifth, Discounts is sixth, Public relations is seventh, Channels is eighth, Direct marketing is ninth, Payment terms are tenth, Features are eleventh, Quality is twelfth, Market coverage is thirteenth, Assortment is fourteenth, Branding is fifteenth, Packaging is sixteenth, Location is seventeenth, Inventory is eighteenth, Sercies is nineteenth, Warranties is twentieth, and Transport is the last in improving client loyalty. This research is expected to provide researchers with a better understanding of the comparative significance among the components of marketing strategy for client loyalty. The results of the current research can also support business executives by helping them make better decisions on suitably planning the components of Product, Price, Place and Promotion of marketing strategy in business so that they can gain the best possible efficiency.

This study aims to determine the influence of human personality and perceived risk on the travel intention of domestic tourists to Canggu, Bali. This research is motivated by the limitations of the previous studies in examining the factors that influence travel intention, especially aspects related to human behavior. This is especially essential for reviving tourism business after the Covid-19 pandemic. This research is based on a survey on domestic tourists who had, are currently, and will be traveling to the resort village of Canggu in Bali. The sample collection method in this study is by using a questionnaire distributed online and offline. The author uses the theory of Hair et al. to determine the minimum number of samples and get 299 respondents in the field. This study uses the Structural Equation Model (SEM) analysis technique to analyze all the data that has been collected. This study found that all major personal characters, namely openness, consciousness, extroversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism, positively affect the intention of visiting domestic tourists to Canggu. In contrast, the perceived risk has a negative effect on the intention of visiting tourists to Canggu. This research encourages managers of tourist destinations in Canggu to consider various personal charaters, perceived risks and travel intentions above in designing marketing strategies and destination development.

The aim of the current research is to design a model to develop the market share based on the strategies for entering the international market of the National Iranian Drilling Company. A quantitative and qualitative mixed method was used to achieve this goal. In the qualitative phase, the data were collected through interviews with 12 experts using the snowball sampling method and analyzed with the help of the Foundation’s data theory in three stages of open, central and selective coding. The findings of this phase showed that 39 concepts can be identified, which can be classified into 17 categories by examining the conceptual similarity, which can be classified as components of the paradigm model, which can be based on the main criterion of causal conditions (government support, factors related to the country of origin and factors related to the target market), the central phenomenon (maintaining the market share and increasing the market size), the dominant base (communication and functional infrastructures, specialized infrastructures, appropriate policymaking and planning), intervening conditions (political and economic factors, cultural factors and social), strategies (customer orientation, empowerment and promotion of international capabilities, participation in investment and nonparticipation in investment) and consequences (improvement of technology, growth and survival, and credibility and reputation of the company). In the second phase, using the opinion of experts and using the AHP hierarchical analysis method, the determined criteria were identified and prioritized. The results of this stage showed that the criterion of the leaders with the highest weight of 0.278 and the criterion of the ruling platforms with the lowest weight of 0.081 can play a role in the development of the market share of this company.

We propose a general approximation method for the determination of optimal trading strategies in markets with proportional transaction costs, with a polynomial approximation of the residual value function. The method is exemplified by several problems, from optimally tracking benchmarks and hedging the log contract to maximizing utility from terminal wealth. Strategies are also approximated by practically executable, discrete trades. We identify the necessary trade-off between the trading frequency and trade size to ensure satisfactory agreement with the theoretically optimal, continuous strategies of infinite activity.

The existing market of public charging pile services for electric vehicle (EV) users has occupied a particular market share. However, instead of solely focusing on pre-planning the construction of charging piles, it is crucial to address the shortcomings of the existing charging pile service and develop effective marketing strategies. This approach can help optimize the utilization of charging pile resources and minimize wastage. In this study, we explore EV users' comments on the public charging pile service and adopt a natural language pre-training model to classify comments for extracting positive and negative comments. For these two types of comments respectively, we construct the text-to-knowledge to mine the keywords from multiple dimensions. We further excavate the words correlated with the keywords by utilizing dependency parsing to create relational dependency graphs. Taken together, we identify key factors influencing EV user satisfaction or dissatisfaction and uncover the relationships among these factors. These insights provide valuable information for charging pile operators to develop targeted marketing strategies and improvement plans for the existing public charging pile resources, ultimately enhancing the overall user experience.

Pharmacists are the main professionals in the pharmaceutical industry as they take responsibility for the medicines that are produced and managed within the industry. Manufacturing pharmaceutical companies (MPCs) make use of the skills of pharmacists for technical functions as most countries require the presence of pharmacists for regulatory compliance purposes. The roles that pharmacists can play in a manufacturing pharmaceutical company extend beyond the technical levels. The purpose of this study was to determine the leadership competencies of pharmacists in the manufacturing sector of the pharmaceutical industry in South Africa. A Leadership Competency Self-assessment Tool (LCSAT) with five (5) domains was used to determine the competencies relating to the functions of a pharmacist in a manufacturing pharmaceutical company. The domains included professionalism, pharmacy and healthcare environment, leadership, business skills, communication and relationships. The Leadership Competency Self-assessment Tool was administered to pharmacists who are members of a professional association for pharmacists who work in the pharmaceutical industry of South Africa. The association had 567 members who received the online questionnaire over two cycles. Responses were received from 84 pharmacists (15%) with only 62 (10.9%) responses that were complete and therefore formed the sample for the study. The pharmacists rated themselves as highly competent in the domain of pharmacy and healthcare environment (77,76%) and the lowest in the domain for business skills (64,83%). The role of pharmacists in a manufacturing pharmaceutical company is diverse and should not be limited to the technical functions, for the benefit of their patients. Pharmacists should be responsible for roles beyond the operational aspects of the companies in the pharmaceutical industry. They should be actively involved in roles such as promoting the pharmaceuticals their companies produce and strategic functions. To succeed, pharmacists must develop business competencies that will enable them to have business confidence and facilitate visibility while, engaging more corporate roles to boost revenue for their companies. Many pharmacists hold technical positions that see them overseeing manufacturing functions and responsible for manufacturing tasks. Effective communication and business skills to enable them to thrive in roles of strategic leadership are essential. A diversity of competencies for the pharmaceutical industry will increase the value of pharmacists in the pharmaceutical industry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Developing an effective entrepreneurial ecosystem is viewed as a regional economic development approach that focuses on developing supportive circumstances that encourage the startup's success. This study aims to investigate the impact of the entrepreneurial ecosystem on startups' success and the variables that could play a mediating role in the relationship between entrepreneurial ecosystem and startups' success. The research is based on face-to-face and online semi-structured interviews (the interview guide consisted of 9 open-ended questions) from second quarter of 2023 until the end of the third quarter of 2023 (the data collection phase was closed after meeting the criteria of data saturation). The participants were selected via purposeful sampling technique (20 owners or managers of startup companies including IT, customer service, food, transportation, etc. in Egypt). Thematic and content analysis is done by using NVivo software. From the analysis of the interviews, four themes are developed, and each theme consists of several codes. The first theme is the entrepreneurial ecosystem, with codes: competence development, education and training, enterprising culture and leadership, financial support, government policies and regulations, market openness, and intermediary services. The second theme is entrepreneurial characteristics, with codes: self-efficacy, entrepreneurial attitude, entrepreneurial intention, and entrepreneurial innovation. The third theme is entrepreneurial challenges, with codes: fierce competition, failure to plan and unrealistic expectations, knowledge and skills gaps, and ineffective marketing. The fourth theme is startup success, with codes: productivity, financial performance, and competitive advantage. This study found, that some elements are unimportant for startup's ecosystem: government programs and support, commercial and professional infrastructure for entrepreneurs, and access to physical infrastructure for entrepreneurship. At the same time, the study confirmed that education and training, enterprising culture and leadership, financial support, government policies and regulations, and market openness are unimportant for startup's ecosystem. Moreover, it is found that such elements as competence development and intermediate services should be additionally included in the ecosystem. From this study, the model that investigates the relationship between the entrepreneurial ecosystem and startup success was developed. Finally, some recommendations provided to decision-makers and current and future research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Traditional momentum strategies on the stock market are implemented in accordance with the efficient market hypothesis and involve making investments in accordance with market trends. However, this hypothesis has been repeatedly criticized by supporters of behavioral finance, who allow the irrational nature of investment decisions, which led to the emergence of contrarian investment strategies, based on the overreaction hypothesis and the reversal effect (over a longer horizon, loser stocks outperform winners), according to which investments are made in opposite direction to the market, involves buying the losing stocks and selling the winners. According to contrarian investment strategies, when buying shares, investors prefer a lower level of P/E ratios (Price -- earnings ratio), which indicates the valuation multiple placed to the company's market price vis-à-vis its net profits. The article examines the hypothesis that P/E ratio and contrarian investment are related, based on data for 2010--2022 for 50 shares of India, whose stock market is developing rapidly, examines the differences between the top ten P/E stocks and the bottom ten P/E stocks using inflation adjusted return on investment (ROI) to determine, whether or not, an investment in such stocks would generate sufficient returns to outpace inflation over a period of ten years. The article tests 3 hypotheses that investing in stocks with low P/E ratios in the Nifty 50 index (a live benchmark that illustrates how each industry contributes to India's GDP) will generate higher returns than investing in stocks with high P/E ratios, over a long-term horizon (H1), inflation (H2), the Nifty 50 index (H3). The sources of data were finalized to be BSE Official Website, NSE Official Website, Yahoo Finance, Screener, Annual Reports, etc. The article calculates the profits for top 10 P/E stocks (conventional strategy) and bottom 10 P/E stocks (contrarian investing), and determining the returns from top 10 P/E stocks and the bottom 10 P/E stocks (when calculating for 10 years, the same steps were repeated: synchronously, once a year, both types of shares were bought at Purchase Price and sold a year later at Market Price). The calculations confirmed all 3 proposed hypotheses. Contrarian investing delivered returns of around 3.64 times the initial investment, whereas conventional investing produced returns of about 77.5% when comparing the top 10 P/E stocks to the bottom 10 P/E stocks in the Nifty 50 index. An outstanding return of 84.11%, which is a strong return when adjusted for inflation, was achieved using the contrarian strategy. As a result of the conventional strategy's loss of 10.45% when adjusted for inflation, the study also shows that contrarian investing can assist an investor in hedging against inflation. This emphasizes how crucial it is to take a contrarian attitude when making stock market investments. At the same time, contrarian investment returns of 3.64 times the initial investment over this period surpass the benchmark Nifty 50 Index returns, which is 3.24 times. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research aims to investigate whether smartphone brands have gender from the perspective of Iranian users and examine the relationship between different genders of smartphones and brand equity with mediating role of customer loyalty. This is a quantitative study that uses inferential statistics to evaluate hypotheses. A standardized questionnaire with 26 questions was used as the research instrument. The statistical population consisted of users of the six most widely-used smartphone brands in Iran (Samsung, Apple, Xiaomi, Huawei, Sony and Nokia), who could participate in the online survey through social networks (Instagram, WhatsApp, and Telegram). The simple random probability sampling method involved 472 samples. Smart PLS version 3 and SPSS version 26 were used to analyze the data. The research was carried out from June 2022 to February 2023. The results show that smartphones have gender from the perspective of Iranian users. Brand femininity and masculinity correlate significantly and positively with customer loyalty to smartphones. Customer loyalty has a significant and positive relationship with brand equity in smartphones. Both brand femininity and masculinity increase brand equity through customer loyalty, with brand femininity having a more significant impact on brand equity than brand masculinity. The biological gender of smartphone users has no relationship with customer loyalty and does not affect their perception of brand femininity and masculinity.

The study aims to examine the intricate interplay between sales growth, profitability, and tax avoidance strategies adopted by firms. Through an analysis of a diverse dataset spanning multiple industries and regions, this study investigates how sales growth influences a firm’s marketing approach to tax avoidance and its subsequent impact on profitability. The sample is Jordanian industrial firms listed on the Amman Stock Exchange for the study period between 2010 and 2020. Four critical variables used in the dataset are tax avoidance, return on assets, sales, and size. It employs a mixed-methods approach, including quantitative regression analysis and qualitative assessments of corporate tax strategies. The study results reveal a strong negative relationship between ROA and tax avoidance; for every unit increase in ROA, tax avoidance decreases by 0.198 units. Sales, however, do not exhibit a statistically significant association with tax avoidance. Firm size is an additional predictor with a marginally significant direct link with tax avoidance (β = 0.042, p = 0.049). This study highlights the central role of profitability in shaping tax avoidance strategies, with larger firms marginally more inclined toward tax planning.
