This study aims to explore the impact of absorption capability, innovation capability, and branding capability on the performance of retailers. Using the resource-based view (RBV), this study proposes a research model on the direct impact of absorption capability, innovation capability, and branding capability on firm performance as well as the indirect impact of absorption capability on firm performance which is mediated by both innovation capability and branding capability. By surveying 201 middle and senior managers representing 201 Vietnamese retailers, PLS-SEM was used to test the hypotheses. The research results show the important role of developing innovation capability and branding capability in improving retailer performance. The findings also reveal the significant impact of absorption capability on retailers by an indirect mechanism through innovation capability and branding capability. Based on the findings, practical implications for Vietnamese retailer managers are suggested to improve their performance by strengthening and developing absorption capability, innovation capability, and branding capability.
The purpose of the MAX-SPA-P problem is to establish stable pairs between students and the projects so that the number of matched students is maximum. The MAX-SPA-P problem has been attracting research attention because the theory of stable matching in the MAX-SPA-P problem is widely applied in the fields of education and economics such as finding matching between students and universities, buyers and sellers, suppliers and carriers, etc or any matching problems which have preference list constraints and the maximum number of matchings. So far, several approaches are proposed to solve this problem such as approximation algorithm, min-conflict search, and local search. However, those approaches still have drawbacks in computation time and solution quality for solving the MAX-SPA-P problem of large sizes. This paper presents a new heuristic search to improve performance to solve the MAX-SPA-P problem of large sizes. Our proposed method is to start from a blank matching, we find a maximum stable matching based on Gale-Shapely’s idea by assigning active students to projects which they prefer most on their rank list. If a project or lecturer is over-subscribed, we define a heuristic function for selecting a suitable student to remove from current matching. This assigning process will stop when all students are inactive. The experimental outcomes confirm the better efficiency of our algorithm than both SPA-P-AP and SPA-P-MCH ones based on computation time and solution quality for solving MAX-SPA-P problem of large sizes.
Individual performance of mobile banking users is a key goal for not only consumers but also the bank in order to maintain customer loyalty and the firm's long-term growth. This is critical, and it should be addressed even more so in the context of developing countries, where the mobile banking is an emerging development. This research aims to uncover the mechanisms that influence individual performance of customers when using mobile banking. To achieve this goal, we used PLS-SEM to examine data from 297 young individual customers who are the most prominent customer group of mobile banking in Vietnam. The results showed that all 4 research hypotheses, including 3 hypotheses about the impact of system quality, information quality, brand equity on trust, and one hypothesis about the effect of customer’s trust on the individual performance are confirmed. The crucial findings and suggestions of this study has extended the current stock of knowledge in mobile banking business and especially brings important guidelines for banking business practitioners in developing countries.

This study explores and examines the effects of the curriculum and content of entrepreneurship as well as perceived university support on the entrepreneurial drive of students who are majoring in business administration. The research was conducted with a sample of 156 senior students at the most popular universities in the business fields in Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam. Based on a quantitative methodology using PLS-SEM, the study has revealed that the curriculum and content of entrepreneurship significantly affected the students’ entrepreneurial drive. However, this study has not found a relationship between perceived university support and entrepreneurial drive. Based on the discussion of the findings, the study has generated novel suggestions for universities and business faculties with similar characteristics in completion of their curriculum and content of entrepreneurship. Furthermore, this study also suggested further research directions to develop the appropriate approaches to university support.
