The purpose of this study is to study the indicators for evaluating the effectiveness of the implementation of investment processes on the securities market, taking into account the scientific foundations of information management systems and analysis of indicators of financial efficiency of the investment function of the securities market in Ukraine. The relevance of this study is due to the growing importance of management information systems in all sectors of the Ukrainian economy, in particular, the provision of solutions to the problems of activating investment processes in the securities market of Ukraine by analyzing and reassessing the effectiveness of investment processes at this level, taking into account the scientific basis of management information systems.  A set of indicators that best reflect the implementation of the investment function of the Ukrainian securities market is proposed. A matrix of characteristics of investment processes in the securities market is proposed. It is argued why domestic and foreign investors prefer local securities market indices when making investment decisions. Through the implementation of correlation-regression models, it has been proven that, on average, 87% of changes in investments in securities are due to changes in the number of licensed entities, which on the Chedoch scale indicates a close relationship between the indicators. The results obtained using statistical inference methods indicate a high impact of both external macroeconomic factors that inhibit the development of the securities market and internal, which in turn is reflected in the indicators of assessing the effectiveness of investment processes in the securities market.

The performance of SMEs will keep the wheel of the country’s economy turning. Upgrading the technologies currently used in SMEs will make the manufacturing process of food and beverage (F&B) industries more efficient. These firms are still using traditional equipment and machinery in their F&B manufacturing process; however, it is required to adopt the next level of technologies for maximum productivity, which they cannot afford. Thus, the study focuses on the intention to adopt upgraded technologies in F&B SMEs in developing countries. A total of 230 F&B SME owners and top management were surveyed in Bangladesh. The collected data were analyzed using PLS-SEM with SmartPLS software. The results showed that disaster preparedness and business continuity had significant effects on the intention to adopt; similarly, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and social influence were also significant in the intention to adopt the next level of IR technologies. The moderating role of government support and policy had mixed effects on intention. The study is significant because disaster preparedness and business continuity plans are utilized in technology adoption and intention scenarios. To investigate this intention, the study adopted two perspectives: the influence and role of disasters and hazards on SMEs through disaster preparedness and business continuity plans, and secondly, the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) for measuring the intention. The study contributed to these two theories in a new context with constructs. The study will also contribute to policymakers in developing constructive policies and providing effective financial and non-financial support for F&B manufacturing SMEs.

The world of digital marketing has been fast advancing in recent times. Marketers have developed various practices to attract consumers to their products and services. Online shopping applications have introduced different methods to encourage consumer impulse buying. However, past literature has overlooked the 7C framework, despite its introduction during the early stages of e-commerce development. Thus, this study aims to examine the dimensions of digital marketing and the mediating role of emotions on impulse buying behavior in e-commerce shopping platforms. This study used the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) framework as the underpinning theory for developing the proposed framework. The 7Cs framework, serving as the stimulus (S), includes content, context, commerce, customization, connection, communication, and community. Emotions represent the organism (O), while impulse buying behavior is the response (R). A survey was conducted to collect data from 331 shoppers from two major online platforms in Malaysia. Exploratory Factor Analysis was performed and revealed six dimensions of digital marketing. Furthermore, it was found that emotions partially mediate the relationship of (a) context, (b) connection, and (c) commerce on impulse buying behavior. Emotions fully mediate the relationship between (a) communication and (b) customization on impulse buying behavior. This study enhances the understanding of the 7C framework, which is underexplored in the context of e-commerce. The 7C framework can be used to assess not only website design but also the design of e-commerce shopping platforms.

Also, e-brand love had a significant impact on e-trust and e-loyalty; e-trust significantly affected e-brand love and e-loyalty, and e-brand love had a significant impact on e-loyalty. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this research stands among the first to evaluate the factors affecting electronic brand love and loyalty. The evaluation of brand love on loyalty demonstrated that the greater the amount of love and fascination with a brand, the higher the positive effect on consumer loyalty. Overall, managers are recommended to do their best to eliminate misunderstandings and create an interest in consumers, ultimately leading to greater customer loyalty. Managers should pay more attention to brand experience dimensions, such as sensory marketing. In this regard, creating a brand community by e-retailers is very helpful.

The widespread use of E-commerce websites has drastically increased the need for automatic recommendation systems with machine learning. In recent years, many ML-based recommenders and analysers have been built; however, their scope is limited to using a single filtering technique and processing with clustering-based predictions. This paper aims to provide a systematic year-wise survey and evolution of these existing recommenders and analysers in specific deep learning-based hybrid filtering categories using movie datasets. They are compared to others based on their problem analysis, learning factors, data sets, performance, and limitations. Most contributions are found with collaborative filtering using user or item similarity and deep learning for the IMDB datasets. In this direction, this paper introduces a new and efficient Hybrid Filtering based Recommendation System using Deep Learning (HFRS-DL), which includes multiple layers and stages to provide a better solution for generating recommendations.
