“…According to Table 4, the estimated point value of the total effect of "innovative resourcespromotion focus-responsible innovation" is 0.945. Under a 95% confidence interval, the confidence interval of bias corrected is (0.857,1.051), the confidence interval of percentile is (0.857,1.047) and the confidence interval does not contain 0 [83], indicating that the total effect is significant; the indirect effect of "innovative resources-promotion focus-responsible innovation" is also significant. The estimated value of point is 0.417, under a 95% confidence interval, the confidence interval of bias corrected is (0.1,0.894), the confidence interval percentile is (0.091,0.869) and the confidence interval does not contain 0, indicating that the indirect effect is significant; the estimated value of the point of direct effect of "innovative resources-promotion focus-responsible innovation" is 0.528 under a 95% confidence interval, while the corrected confidence interval of bias is (0.091,0.869).…”

This paper discusses the relationship between innovative resources, promotion focus, adaptive governance and responsible innovation. In accordance with the path of “demand—motivation—behavior”, this paper takes adaptive governance as the moderator, and constructs an influence relationship model of “innovative resources—promotion focus (adaptive governance)—responsible innovation”. Then this paper takes 361 managers from above the middle management level and the technical personnel of enterprises as the investigation objects, and conducts empirical research by using the structural equation model. The results show that: (1) innovative resources have a significant positive impact on responsible innovation; (2) promotion focus partially mediates the effect of innovative resources on responsible innovation; (3) adaptive governance has a positive moderating effect on the relationship between innovative resources and responsible innovation. The results enrich the quantitative research of responsible innovation, reveal the internal mechanism of innovative resources affecting responsible innovation, provide a new way for technological innovation governance and provide a new way of thinking for the transformation from the traditional innovation paradigm into a sustainable innovation paradigm.

“…Therefore, they heavily relay on social media news. The use of smartphones has now become a necessity, and people are surfing different social media sites such as Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram, and Twitter for entertainment and news purposes (Ahmed et al, 2020). Thus, social media has become the primary source of human interaction and information sharing regarding COVID-19 (Addo et al, 2020).…”

“…The undertaken study employed an SEM-based multivariate technique for the collected respons-es, for instance, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) for the suitability and retention of adapted constructs and items. This research also employed the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to evaluate the items and constructs that have already been used in previous models (Ahmed et al, 2020;Hair et al, 2010). The CFA approach further confirms modified constructs and items, which also fit in the hypothesized structural and measurement models that are used for the current research (Hair et al, 2010;Byrne, 2009).…”

In an analysis based on the theory of Fear, this study examines impulse purchase patterns during the COVID-19 Pandemic across major US urban centers. Data from 889 US consumers were collected from leading US cities to evaluate impulse buying behavior fluctuations using SEM-based multivariate approaches to examine the survey statistics. We used COVID-19 as a moderating variable of this impulse purchase behavior. The results confirmed that Fear of a complete lockdown, peers buying, scarcity of essential products on shelves, US stimulus checks, the limited supply of essential goods, and panic buying have had a compelling and affirmative influence on the sharp swings of impulse buying patterns. The findings further confirm that Fear Appeal and social media fake news have had a strong positive impact on impulse buying as mediating factors. Finally, it was concluded that COVID-19 is a significant moderating factor influencing the impulse buying behavior of US citizens. The practical implications suggest that marketers and brand managers should devise novel strategies to enhance their brand’s market share to attain a competitive advantage in COVID-19 or similar panic situations in the future. These research findings are essential to comprehend the sharp fluctuations of impulse buying patterns in the current cutthroat competition environment across the US and other parts of the world.

“…The range of visual and multimodal resources, texts, and technologies that come into learning spaces offer new possibilities and challenges for the design of teaching and learning [22][23][24][25][26]. Visual techniques prompt reflective learning, as is shown in [27][28][29], which is reinforced with collaborative sharing [30].…”

Higher education institutions must enable students to acquire skills and capacities that prepare them for working life and enhance their employability. This will lead to an applied learning- and teaching-enhancement-oriented sustainable Higher Education System. This research aims to contribute to that goal by analyzing student interactions in a collaborative learning community. It assesses the impact of visual tools on academic performance and student satisfaction in employment-focused blended studies, in which enrollees were geographically dispersed undergraduates with a diversity of profiles. A financial studies learning community was created to test students’ interactions in a model conducive to participation as visual content creators and users. Three surveys (pre-project, appraisal of classmates’ visual exercises, and post-project) were conducted to assess project impact. First, we used a univariate approach, focused on students’ characteristics, course and project appraisals, and the effects of the project on academic performance and expectations. Secondly, a bivariate approach was conducted to detect relationships between respondents’ appraisals and personal characteristics and to determine whether their mean scores were the same irrespective of such characteristics. The findings showed that: (1) Students’ preferences concur with those of their employers; (2) participation in innovative initiatives improves students’ perception of course procedures; (3) visual tools have a positive impact on learning, in terms of both academic performance and student satisfaction. The study concludes by providing support for educational institutions´ decision-making around courses and the overall curricula by defining the factors determining academic performance and student satisfaction.
