This study aims to analyze the influence of product quality, price, and promotion of purchasing decision in Indonesia. The data used taken from some Indonesian people who usually drink local tea. The purposive sampling method used in the selection of respondents involving ninety-two people. The results of this study partially indicate that quality had a significant and positive effect on purchasing decisions by sixty percent. Price had a significant and positive effect on purchasing by forty-two percent. The promotion had a significant and positive effect on purchasing decisions by fifty percent. Simultaneously, the quality, price, and promotion significantly affected the purchase decision by seventy-two percent
Knowledge and competencies management (K&CM) are the main sources requiring sustainable development for any learning organisation. The purpose of this paper is to emphasise the need for K&CM on the perceptions of improving performance. The adopted instrument was modified to suit this research. It encompasses 'efficiency, proficiency, innovation and performance' to learn from the 'mindsets/opinions' and perceptions of 362 responses from employees. The data were collected from five organisations sharing identical objectives and analysed using correlation and regression. The results were statistically found to be positively related and to contribute to the intended performance. All the constructs were supported by confirmation of qualitative themes from the 20 most senior managers. The enhancement of K&CM culture will maintain 'self-effectiveness' to create and preserve the K&CM and make a constant contribution to the body of knowledge.
SME has a significant impact on the growth and development of any nation economy. The entrepreneurship in Oman expected to be a leading factor in the economic due to the opportunities afforded by increasing economic diversification and corresponding rise in job opportunities and other benefits. However, entrepreneurship has faced many challenges and obstacles to its progress and growth in Oman, despite the fact that the government has supported this sector to stimulate the market. However, studies show that many challenges are still plague both startups and governments. This study therefore aims to develop an ecosystem for entrepreneurship in the Omani context as a new solution to overcome such challenges. Entrepreneurship ecosystem has a positive influence on business growth and on the creation of new businesses, with the result that this concept has received attention from both academics and policy makers. By using a qualitative research method, a total of 10 interviewees were selected to answer the major research questions and thus provide more explanation about the issues that SME faces and find the exact factors that can influence these types of enterprises. Based on the findings from qualitative research through discussions with entrepreneurs, we can conclude that there are five factors: human capital; government; support; finance and technology, all of which have a significant impact on Omani entrepreneurship success and start-ups. These results contribute to the current literature regarding entrepreneurship ecosystems. They also give greater attention to the policy makers in Oman who facilitate the implementation of this framework as well as motivating the different business owners or start-ups to develop their business strategies based on the requirements shown in the framework. In addition, a number of suggestions have been presented as focus points when developing a strategic plan to support the entrepreneurship sector.
Abstract. The present experimental program was planned to investigate the effect of type of mineral admixture, pre-load and the presence of confining reinforcement on the spalling behaviour of heated high performance concrete (HPC). Reinforced concrete cylindrical short columns were cast and exposed to four different target temperatures. A compressive preload equal to 25% of the ultimate load capacity of column was maintained on the specimens during heating and cooling. The test results mainly focus on the influence of above said variables on spalling behaviour of reinforced HPC columns. Interesting observations have been made in the paper on the subject matter of the workshop.
