  Abstract: FIIB Business Review, Ahead of Print.
  This article aims to investigate employees’ perceptions about the impact of religion on entrepreneurship activities (EAs), behaviour, and responsibilities among Muslims in North Macedonia. Apart from other factors that affects economic development, individuals seem to consider religion as an important element that shapes entrepreneurship in a community. Therefore, the article examines perceptions of Muslims regarding the relationship between Islamic religion and entrepreneurship and whether Islam is perceived as having an impact on the entrepreneurial behaviour. The research was conducted using a quantitative approach, where the data was collected through a structured questionnaire. A total of 352 responses were collected from employees within businesses in North Macedonia. The data was analysed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with SmartPLS. The results revealed that religion is perceived to have a positive significant impact on Muslims entrepreuneurs in their EAs, behaviour and responsibilities. This study provides knowledge on how Islamic EAs are perceived by different business employees in their entrepreneurial activities from an Islamic perspective in North Macedonia.

  Abstract: FIIB Business Review, Ahead of Print.
  This case study aims to identify the leadership qualities required to manage the business during a pandemic-like crisis. Kamadgiri Fashion Limited (KFL) a small company incorporated in India in the year 1987, was into the manufacturing of fabric and ready-made apparels. Slowly and steadily, it had established its foothold in the B2B market and also had strategic partnerships with large FMCG companies in the country. During COVID-19 lockdown, the company had to completely stop its manufacturing process. Demand suddenly dropped and the management knew that if this continued, they would not be able to sustain the business. They wanted to convert this adversity into an opportunity. With the help of technological innovation, they started manufacturing bacteria- and virus-resistant masks under the brand name Zero Risque. The company always wanted to be a part of the solution to the pandemic problem, and they could do it with Zero Risque. Decisions were taken quickly to buy the technology, manufacture the product according to the customer needs and market it. They became the first company headquartered in India, to sell these masks in the country. With daily sales almost doubling after few months, the company gradually could overcome the crisis.

  Abstract: FIIB Business Review, Ahead of Print.
  Talent development (TD) strategies are one of the most crucial aspects of talent management practices. They provide a competitive advantage to organizations. The present study aims to conduct a systematic literature review (SLR) on TD literature from 1990 to 2020. An extensive literature review has been performed wherein the literature has been segregated according to the years of their publication. The finding of the study highlights that TD has three distinct themes. These themes are related at the individual level, team level and organizational level. At the individual level, TD interventions focus on self-developmental activities such as gaining knowledge, building potential and enhancing job-specific skills. At the team level, the developmental interventions include communication skills, team-building efforts and leadership skills. Finally, TD focuses on mentorship, training and developing sustainable organizational culture at the organizational level. The study contributes towards organizing the fragmented body of literature related to TD. Furthermore, it provides a holistic approach to framing strategically aligned TD interventions that HR practitioners and organizations can implement. Finally, the study opens a window of opportunities for future research works in concerned field of TD.

  Abstract: FIIB Business Review, Ahead of Print.
  The present era of rapid technological changes and the rising rate of internet penetration has created a stride for an individual’s entertainment preferences. The rise of Over-the-Top (OTT) media services has made strides by altering the media space during the pandemic caused by COVID. Smart phones and access to broad band made OTT acceptable by a large part of the population worldwide. The handheld device OTT is becoming the preferred mode of content consumption by the viewers in India as well. However, there are certain shortcomings of this emerging mode of media mostly in terms of socio-economic as well as technological issues. In addition to finding the growing demands of OTT, present study emphasized on the challenges posed for the adoption of this rapidly preferred media platform. On the analysis of the data collected from the respondents in the twin city of Odisha (Cuttack and Bhubaneswar), the findings revealed three prime factors such as ‘user behaviour’, ‘technological flexibility’ and ‘customer-centric content’ to be the significant influencers of OTT content. The insights of this study can help the regulatory authorities as well as OTT media players in promotion and strategy formulation.

  Abstract: FIIB Business Review, Ahead of Print.
  The hospitality industry grapples with many workforces related issues like many other industries. Talent retention, turnover, commitment are significant issues in the hospitality industry in India. As a result of macro-level concerns such as the recent pandemic, the hospitality industry has started viewing talent management (TM) as a strategic lever to enhance organizational performance through committed and engaged employees. However, though organizational commitment has been an important research topic, only a few studies have been conducted on TM and organizational commitment in the Indian hospitality sector. Therefore, after the review of literature on the related field, the study tested three hypotheses to examine the causal relationship between TM practices and organizational commitment. Structural equation modelling using AMOS 26 was used to find empirical evidence in favour of the proposed hypotheses. The result of the study, showed that TM practices of the hospitality industry significantly influences the organizational commitment among the employees.

  Abstract: FIIB Business Review, Ahead of Print.
  Francoise Brougher joined Pinterest as a chief operating officer in March 2018. Earlier she worked with Square and Google. She worked hard to augment the revenue of the company from US$500 million to US$1.1 billion in a short span of about two years. A large team of about 1,500 staff reported to her. However, soon after joining the company, she realized that the decision-making was monopolized by cronies of the chief executive officer (CEO). At the time of filing application for initial public offer, she noticed discrepancies in her compensation as compared to her male counterparts. Raising the issue became a bone of contention between Brougher and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Todd Morgenfeld. The matter became worse as the CEO Ben Silbermann also sided with the CFO. Ultimately, Brougher was shown the door in a most unceremonious manner. Anguished by the treatment meted out to her at Pinterest, Brougher filed a lawsuit against gender discrimination and retaliation. Both the parties reached an out-of-court settlement that instantly hit the headlines across the globe because of the magnitude and nature of the terms of settlement. This case explores the underlying questions emanating from the nature of the case as well as general incidence of gender discrimination and retaliation at the workplaces across the world.

  Abstract: FIIB Business Review, Ahead of Print.
  This study investigates the impacts of corporate governance mechanisms (CGMs) on earnings management (EM). Data covering 12 years (2009–2020) were collected via annual reports of the listed national banks in the UAE. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, ordinary least squares (OLS) estimator, generalized least square (GLS) estimator and panel-corrected standard error (PCSE) estimator. Discretionary accruals were estimated using the adjusted Jones model as suggested by Dechow (Contemporary Accounting Research, 1996, vol. 13, pp. 1–36). The overall findings of the study indicate that audit committee and ownership structure are not effective in mitigating managers’ opportunistic earnings management activities in the UAE banking sector. Hence, the assumption that audit committee and ownership structure have a negative impact on earnings management could not be ascertained. However, board characteristic was found to exert a diminishing effect on earnings management. Given that weak CGMs could fail to deter earnings management practices, the policymakers of the financial institution such as the banking sector should ensure that the CGMs are strengthened, and efforts should be exerted to facilitate strict adherence to measures that will diminish earnings management activities. The present study has contextual limitations to the UAE. Hence, the interpretation of the result is limited within this context.

  Abstract: FIIB Business Review, Ahead of Print.
  This study aims to elucidate the factors that affect users’ intention to use payments bank services in India. The research model focuses on closing the gap between the intention to use and the actual usage of payments banks by integrating various quality dimensions with the trust and reputation of service provider. The research model was tested and validated using the partial least squares, which was performed on the data of 393 Indian users. SmartPLS software version 3.2.8 has been used in the current study. The results revealed that satisfaction and intentions to use have a significant effect on actual usage. The reputation of service provider, service quality and trust are the major constructs that significantly affect satisfaction and users’ intention to use payments banks. To make the consumers adopt the payments banks, they need to be satisfied, which can further lead to the actual usage. As payments banks are at a nascent stage, the reputation of service provider and trust are the most influential antecedents to the satisfaction and intention of users. Additionally, it is very pertinent for the service providers to use modern and safe technology to enhance their trust. Furthermore, personalized services for grievances redressal should be used to ensure the proper service and information being delivered to the user.

  Abstract: FIIB Business Review, Ahead of Print.
  Given the scarcity of complete syntheses in the literature, this research aims to take a methodical approach to present quantitative information on the ever-evolving topic of workplace spirituality (WPS). Between 2001 and 2021, the study examined 438 articles from the Scopus database that were published in peer-reviewed journals. To identify the influential works in the domain, to outline the intellectual structure of the area and to uncover the gaps, the study conducted citation analysis, cluster analysis and co-citation analysis. The most prominent journals, authors, nations and keywords were selected using bibliometric analysis, followed by a careful review of the content of 97 articles within the identified clusters. Cluster analysis led to the identification of five major clusters of importance. Furthermore, the study revealed key research threads for future researchers using the theory, contexts, characteristics and methodology framework. This research will help regulators and academics better understand WPS and figure out which areas need more study.

  Abstract: FIIB Business Review, Ahead of Print.
  Cryptocurrency as a financial asset has emerged as a fad among investors, academicians and policymakers alike. In a financial purview, this study intends to empirically test the behaviour of the cryptocurrency return, inferring its market efficiency. For this purpose, daily data of five cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Tether and Ripple) have been collected from 1 January 2016 to 31 March 2021 to investigate the well-known financial theory of random walk hypothesis for this young market. To provide statistical evidence and ensure the robustness of results, analysis is performed using the variance ratio test, augmented Dickey–Fuller test, Philip–Perron test, Breusch–Godfrey serial correlation LM test and ARIMA model. The statistical results illustrated strong evidence refuting the presence of the random walk hypothesis in this emerging market, thus implying inefficiency in the cryptocurrency market. Furthermore, the absence of random walk in the cryptocurrency makes this financial asset predictable, giving investors an arbitrage edge to earn abnormal gains using trading strategies, which is euphoria.

  Abstract: FIIB Business Review, Ahead of Print.
  The correlational marker technique by Lindell and Whitney for controlling method variance by adding an unrelated variable in the study is gaining a rage of debate and demands analysis study. This article explores common method variance in HR analytics research made in the Indian context. The study makes a comparative study upon common method variance with three known techniques. In our study, we test the biases in the HR analytics data using Harman’s single-factor test, the common latent factor technique and the comprehensive confirmatory factor analysis marker approach. Common method variance was tested through Analysis of Moment Structures, version 21.0, by adding an unrelated variable. This article explains the implementation and testing of a marker variable and its impact in comparison to other practices for bias testing. The article also discusses the importance of selecting a marker variable in the questionnaire while collecting data.

  Abstract: FIIB Business Review, Ahead of Print.
  Corporates play a vital role in the economy and are subject to growing expectations from stakeholders. Therefore, it is essential to understand the financial impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on corporates’ activities. This article examines the impact of CSR on 30 Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE)-listed corporate efficiencies by using multi-criteria decision-making models. The article emphasized the technical efficiency of 30 BSE-listed corporates and explored high-efficiency drivers. This study applies multiple methods, that is, data envelopment analysis and free disposal hull, to observe the efficiency rankings of the 30 BSE Index-listed companies for 6 years, that is, 2014–2020. In the second stage, we perform truncated regression analysis to validate our results on the association between CSR and the financial performance of the corporate. The findings suggest that 6 out of 30 corporates are technically efficient (TE = 1) in all frontier approaches.Furthermore, the outcomes portray those three pillars of CSR (i.e., environment, social and governance) are positively correlated with efficiency. Furthermore, it has also been observed that environment and social scores are positively related to return on assets. The findings can be helpful for the stakeholders, policymakers and management of the corporate as a guideline to implement CSR practices.

  Abstract: FIIB Business Review, Ahead of Print.
  Information and communication technologies have empowered the consumers with ease of access to information about products and services in form of electronic word of mouth (eWOM). eWOM plays a critical role in consumer purchase decisions in the form of online reviews. The study uses the S-O-R framework to examine the impact of online reviews on online hotel booking. The data were collected using purposive sampling through an online self-administered questionnaire and analyzed using the PLS-SEM technique. The results of the study show that review valence significantly impacts review credibility whereas review length does not. Furthermore, credible reviews lead to high purchase intention. The positive impact of purchase intention on purchase in online hotel booking context is a novel finding. We suggest managers to include more positive valanced reviews to develop trust and credibility while take proper measures to reduce risk.

  Abstract: FIIB Business Review, Ahead of Print.
  This study investigates the effect of capital structure on the social and financial performance of microfinance institutions (MFIs), which have a double bottom line objective of outreach and financial sustainability. Generalized method of moments (GMM) and instrumental variable (IV) estimation were used on the panel data set of 46 non-banking finance companies (NBFCs)-MFIs from 2013–2014 to 2018–2019. NBFC-MFIs are formed after the transformation of NGO-MFIs to access market-based sources of funds to increase their outreach. The results show that Indian MFIs are highly leveraged and have bidirectional causality between capital structure and financial and social performance variables. The study found a positive and significant relationship between capital structure and social and financial dimensions of the NBFC-MFIs. It shows that NBFC-MFIs can maintain the dual objectives even after transformation. The study contributes to the scarce literature by emphasizing the role of capital structure on the performance of MFIs, which are playing an essential role in financial inclusion.

  Abstract: FIIB Business Review, Ahead of Print.
  Individual entrepreneurial orientation (IEO) is a three-dimensional construct described as a tendency to be simultaneously proactive, risk-taking and innovative. This study contributes to the understanding of the antecedents that contribute to IEO. In addition, the study investigates the influence of internal locus of control (LOC) on IEO moderated by self-efficacy (SE). The article examined the relationship between self-concept-based traits, that is, LOC, SE and IEO subdimensions using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) on the survey data of 200 small business owners from India. The study found that SE moderates the association between LOC and sub-dimensions of IEO. Furthermore, it indicated that SE has a higher effect on innovativeness than proactiveness and risk-taking. Therefore, a small entrepreneur with an internal orientation (LOC) needs to be matched with SE to feel a realistic circle of influence to experience more entrepreneurial growth. A small entrepreneur with an internal LOC and a higher level of SE will strive to become a leader in its circle of influence with more inclination to pursue innovative strategies.

  Abstract: FIIB Business Review, Ahead of Print.
  The objective of this prospective study is to demonstrate the challenges faced by business organizations while adapting to the new digital landscape. The idea is to assist in breaking down the complex process of digital transformation and strengthen the management perspective in the area. The study argues how manufacturing exporting firms could develop a digital transformation strategy that includes a different aspect of the strategy tailored to the nature of the Indian exporting firms. Dealing with different aspects of digital transformation, the study discusses different perspectives such as core competencies, internal drivers of digital transformation (IDDT) and external drivers of digital transformation (EDDT), enablers of digital transformation (EDT), new capabilities required and strategic imperatives of digital transformation. Synthesizing digitalization through these lenses can help in developing and implementing a successful digital transformation strategy.

  The article investigates mindfulness mechanisms and leadership attributes as reflected by performing artists. This qualitative study analyses major categories to develop a theoretical framework of mindful leadership development employing performing arts. The present study uses interpretivism to explore respondents’ experiences and unique phenomena. The grounded theory (GT) methodology aided in exploring grounded data and theory construction. core category ‘immense concentration and self-control’ captured the abstract and inclusive meaning as understood by the participants in this study. The qualitative coding analysis helped explore the data-driven abstract phenomena. Results of the present study exhibited that all performing artists require high concentration and self-control to exemplify mesmerizing Koodiyattam performing arts. Theoretical reflections on the relationships between the relevant categories are provided in depth. The connections of five major categories between mindfulness mechanisms, leadership attributes, motivation components, values and beliefs, and personality dispositions are particularly intriguing.

  Abstract: FIIB Business Review, Ahead of Print.
  This article investigates the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the entrepreneurial activities in Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS nations) by assessing the influence of both inward and outward FDI during the period of 2002–2019. We resort to a fixed as well as random effect model on the panel data of five nations, that is BRICS. The article also explored the reverse impact of total entrepreneurial activities (TEA) on inward and outward FDI. The results highlight that inward FDI has a positive impact on entrepreneurial activities while outward FDI has a negative influence on entrepreneurial activities in BRICS nations. Nevertheless, the TEA have a positive and significant impact on inward FDI, while relationships between outward FDI and TEA are found to be insignificant in BRICS economies. In addition, economic growth is also found to be important factor to encourage FDI. The results suggest that more inward FDI should be encouraged to provide innovation and markets to entrepreneurs, as they are the bridge between invention and commercialization.

  Abstract: FIIB Business Review, Ahead of Print.
  This article assesses the impact of earnings management on bank’s current and future financial performance. A bank-specific model, invented by Beatty et al. (2002, Accounting Review, vol. 77, pp. 547–570) and modified by Mangala and Singla (2021; Vision: The Journal of Business Perspective, vol. 25, pp. 159–167), is applied to measure earnings management. Cross-sectional regression is applied to analyse the impact of earnings management on the financial performance of banks for a time period of 7 years (from 2012–2013 to 2018–2019.). The results exhibit that Indian banks actively manage earnings. Earnings management reduces current year’s return on equity, return on assets and net interest margin. Current year’s earnings management also negatively influences following 2 years’ return on equity and net interest margin. Thus, earnings management has major negative implications on banks’ financial performance, not only in the year of earnings management but also in the years to come. In order to curtail earnings management, while examining the financial statements, auditors should be vigilant, and the Reserve Bank of India (the apex regulator) should take punitive actions against such malpractices.

  Abstract: FIIB Business Review, Ahead of Print.
  This study identified the export antecedents that could influence the occurrence of export performance of the industry. The export antecedents are the phenomenon that acts as a backend support system for effective export performance. This study aims to build a simple linear model representing the structural relationship between the export antecedents and export performance. The model building is based on the identified antecedents and attempts to reflect the combined gist of pre-established theories, that is, contingency theory, resource-based view and dynamic capabilities. In data interpretation, second-order confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) helps to analyse the combined impact of all studied antecedents on export performance. The identified antecedents are export knowledge, export perception, export commitment, export strategy and organizational capability as independent variables tested against the dependent variable export performance.

  Abstract: FIIB Business Review, Ahead of Print.
  Numerous researchers have examined various aspects of privacy concern and information-sharing behaviour for online social networking sites; few past researches stated that social media users' privacy concern behavior influenced by their demographic profile. This article attempts to analyse social networking users’ privacy concerns and information-sharing behaviours for urban and rural areas of India. It additionally investigates privacy concerns among users with distinctive levels of Internet addiction. It has been observed that are most of the respondents are susceptible to privacy infringement because of their online social media awareness. The examination finds that urban and rural users vary in their information-sharing practices and privacy adaption. Urbanites might be at more serious risk to privacy infringement and information sharing on account of their valuable data and their social media practices. Furthermore, social media users are dependent on the privacy alerts and settings available to them while sharing information on the various social media sites. Users with low social media awareness might be powerless against privacy infringement in the absence of such alerts from the site administrators. Potential implications of discoveries are given and advice for future research had been also discussed.

  Abstract: FIIB Business Review, Ahead of Print.
  Burma Drinx Group (BDG), a large family-owned conglomerate in Myanmar, operates in several industries but has the largest presence in the soft drinks industry, led by its flagship company, Burma Drinx Company (BDC). The case explores the challenges and issues that BDC and BDG are experiencing as a family-owned conglomerate operating in a ‘non-friendly’ business environment, and a turbulent political and economic context. It focuses on an urgent topic, the corporate governance transformation of BDC and BDG. The reader is invited to understand the specificities of BDG’s internal environment and to manage the idiosyncrasies of this family business conglomerate related to its corporate governance system. BDC’s decision-makers face critical challenges for the future and have to completely rebuild the governance system. This current case follows a first case (Degravel & Tun, 2021) titled BDG(A) ‘Strategizing for Succession in a Family Business’, which described and reflected on the process of succession that BDG implemented to successfully replace the former CEO and founder of the company, Aung Win. The current case proposes a consulting-case style where analysis enables the provision of relevant solutions to the top management. Material from the academic literature about corporate governance and change management is offered as a resource. This case continues the story of BDG after its CEO succession.

  Abstract: FIIB Business Review, Ahead of Print.
  This research article explores the effect of mobile wallet users’ perception and satisfaction on preference for mobile wallets. The paper further examines the mediating effect of satisfaction on preference of m-wallet. Primary data was collected through online survey from 506 mobile wallet users between August and October 2020. The study employed exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modelling (SEM). Nine factors were extracted after applying EFA and confirmed by CFA. It was found that preference of using m-wallet was directly and indirectly affected by perception. Satisfaction was found to have partial mediating effect between perception and preference. This is the first article that explored mediating effect of satisfaction for mobile wallet users in India. The study adds satisfaction as a variable in integrated unified theory of acceptance and use of technology model for mobile wallet users. Satisfaction is a partial mediating factor which increases the preference of using the m-wallet.

  Abstract: FIIB Business Review, Ahead of Print.
  This study examines the persuasion process involved in social media marketing (SMM), particularly in the higher education sector. Based on the theoretical foundations of the information adoption model, a conceptual model of elaboration of SMM communication is developed and tested. The self-administered survey conducted among a sample of international student travellers in New Zealand examines the influence of argument quality, source credibility, audience involvement and audience engagement on their attitude formation and decision-making. The study particularly examines the mediating effects of audience involvement and engagement in SMM communication. Results based on structural equation modelling suggest that social media content quality is a significant predictor of online users’ transportation, identification and parasocial interaction effects. Despite there being additional evidence to support the arguments over social media, source credibility is found to be a strong influencer of international student traveller’s cognitive, emotional and behavioural engagement dimensions. Further, it is evident from the study that there is a strong correlation between cognitive engagement and attitude formation in SMM. Implications for tourism marketers in terms of SMM strategies are discussed.

  Abstract: FIIB Business Review, Ahead of Print.
  This article aims to understand better the impact of the diversity of gender in boards on the innovation and creativity of companies in the context of the structure of business—family businesses and non-family businesses. Based on women’s participation in decision-making and family firm literature, we argue that women directors/executives’ impact on decision-making will rely on their relative power and credibility within the board. These dynamics are especially crucial, bringing creativity to family firm’s boardrooms as well. The results show that increases in innovation and creativity with women’s presence in family firms’ boards are due mainly to outsider non-family and insider family women directors/executives. Even after the division of women directors into independent and non-independent directors, the finding suggests that women independent directors have an impact on the company’s innovations. Conversely, women chair minimal effects on the innovation and creativity advances of the businesses. Furthermore, In the family business, the influence of women managers and women independent managers on the innovation and creativity of a company is slightly stronger.
