This study examines the performance of three main components of VAIC™ i.e. Human Capital Efficiency (HCE), Structural Capital Efficiency (SCE) and Capital Employed Efficiency (CEE) and its impact on corporate performance by employing the predictive analysis. The empirical results reveal that one of the important components to strengthen the IC performance is Human Capital Efficiency (HCE) which means investing more to boost the employees productive would increase the human efficiency of employees. The results show that HCE has significant relation at (P>0.1) with financial performance (ROE and EPS), SCE at (P >0.1) and (P>0.05) with financial performance (ROE) and (EPS) respectively. Whereas CEE has substantive effect with ROE and ROI at (P>0.05) and with (EPS) at (P>0.1) respectively.

The study investigates the relationship between factors affecting consumer buying behavior towards online shopping. Online shopping refers to the recent up surging trend of being able to buy what you need while sitting at home. The focus of the research is on the influence of five major variables that were derived from literature i.e. trust, time, product variety, convenience and privacy, on consumer buying behavior (dependent variable) to determine how consumer buying behavior is reflecting online shopping trends. The statistical analysis of the data has reflected that trust and convenience are greatly impactful on whether people choose to buy online or through brick and mortar stores, while privacy has a lesser influence of buying behavior.
