“…The theoretical framework assists in knowledge expansion by explaining various theories and ideas related to a subject. A theoretical framework summarizes research theories to explain why an issue exists (Islam et al , 2022). The authors consulted previous published work for ideas to develop a theoretical framework and identify an appropriate instrument.…”

Purpose This study aims to measure the acceptance of digital resources by integrating knowledge management (KM) factors (i.e. acquisition, sharing, application and protection) into the factors of the technology acceptance model (TAM) (i.e. perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness) and their impact on actual system use through behavioural intention. Design/methodology/approach Using the quantitative research method, a survey was conducted of the public sector universities of Punjab, Pakistan. Data were collected from postgraduate students and analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling. Findings The findings showed that the factors of KM with the integration of TAM significantly impact the acceptance of digital resources. The study’s hypotheses are all supported, and the findings demonstrated that knowledge acquisition, knowledge sharing, knowledge application and knowledge protection significantly influenced perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, and that these factors are positively correlated with behavioural intentions to use digital resources. Originality/value This study has considerable significant implications for policymakers, developers and practitioners in designing digital resources. This study will also assist librarians to discover areas for development that may enhance the use of digital resources among users

“…Furthermore, Liu et al [43] propose an improved hybrid incentive contract with a reward and punishment mechanism to better incentivize enterprises to participate in DT [43]. In fact, most scholars have studied the incentives for the diffusion of digital technologies in different industries, e.g., the application of blockchain in the pharmaceutical supply chain and community digital inclusion [44,45] from the perspective of technology adoption.…”

Currently, China is actively promoting the reform process of the digital economy, and the digital transformation of the credit financing guarantee sector is gradually emerging. As the core driving force for the progress of digital transformation, the optimal design of the incentive mechanism is undoubtedly essential. Based on the principal-agent relationship between local governments and policy-oriented guarantee institutions, this study constructs a basic incentive model (model I) and an incentive model introducing a regulatory signal (model II), empirically analyzes the digital transformation effort of guarantee institutions under the influence of different factors and discusses how local governments should design the optimal incentive mechanism. The results show that the digital transformation effort level of guarantee institutions in model II is higher than that in model I, while the incentive intensity of local governments in model II is lower than that in model I. Within the range of guarantee compensation rate less than a specific threshold, the risk perception degree has negative effects on the effort level and incentive intensity of DT. In addition, the regulatory intensity has a constant negative effect on the incentive intensity of the DT, while it has a negative effect on the effort level of the DT only if the guarantee capacity is below a specific threshold. The research results can provide practical guidance for local governments to effectively promote digital transformation activities and improve the competitiveness of credit financing guarantee.

“…Through Islam, Rafi, and Ahmad (2022) noted that advantages and incentives inspire budding entrepreneurs to use the Internet as a platform to help them run their businesses. The same result is shown in Table 1 Finance-gathering initiatives of Filipina Women Entrepreneurs taking technology as a new method to engage in E-commerce.…”

The paper seeks to investigate how the state, specifically the Department of Trade and Industry's Bayanihan COVID-19 Assistance to Restart Enterprises (CARES) program, responds to women's economic struggle and how Filipina entrepreneurs make use of the internet for ICT-based business as a solution for income-generating means and sales during the COVID-19 economic struggle. The research locale covers the experiences of online Filipina Entrepreneurs during this pandemic in the Philippines' Region VII, Central Visayas. The research is a qualitative and descriptive case study that uses a purposive sampling technique for data collection utilizing a researcher-made questionnaire and their experiences are analyzed using Colaizzi’s method. In our investigation, we found out that the pandemic has a detrimental effect on women’s businesses, from causing large losses in income and necessitating other sources of income to cover these losses. In solution, these women have entered into an online-operated business employing various marketing strategies to keep their businesses running. Fortunately, there is a consensus that entering in the online business has been a great economic opportunity and helped foster feelings of independence and financial freedom. However, despite this, challenges with internet connectivity in transacting with the government and customers have been a great obstacle and disadvantages such as; increased competition, the possibility of fraudulent transactions, and lack of transportation services experienced- all of which necessitate a systematic solution from the government. As a recommendation, the research's output is an innovative strategic governance framework integrating two vital aspects: Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and Gender and Development (GAD). Finally, the Philippines' new governance framework combines ICT-GAD to strengthen digital technologies and gender equality in addressing economic challenges. This breakthrough framework marries stale-led finance and individual-based gathering initiatives championed by one of the most vulnerable sectors in society — women.
