<p>This paper focuses on natural-resource-based firms in four ASEAN economies, such as Vietnam, Indonesia, The Philippines, and Thailand. These countries have relative advantage in natural-resource-based industries, since they have affluent endowed resources and been making use them for their export and growth strategies. In this study, the innovation process in natural-resource-based industries in these countries are examined in comparison with other assembling and processing industry by focusing factors enhance product as well as process innovation. Those are summarized as (i) Technology, (ii) Organization learning including QM, cross functional team, (iii) ICT use, and (iv) external linkages such as MNCs, local and public organizations, universities. This study employs SEM (Structural equation model) in order to analyze the causal relationships not only among above four latent variables but also between these and innovations.</p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong>internal capability, external linkage, organization learning, capital goods, ICT use, SEM (Structural equation model)</p>

This paper aims to examine the determinants of smart-city commitment across individuals from Bahía Blanca, Argentina. Literature has identified different factors explaining citizens’ commitment to smart cities, such as education, age, labor condition, and other more subjective factors, such as trust and awareness about the smart-city concept. A mediator factor of smart commitment is e-readiness or digital readiness, that is, the level of preparedness to properly exploit internet opportunities such as e-government and e-commerce. To achieve this goal, we used a survey conducted on 97 citizens (followers of the Moderniza Bahía Facebook) from the city of Bahía Blanca, Argentina. By estimating a structural equation model, we found that higher levels of ICT use are associated with higher levels of smart-city commitment and that higher awareness of the smart-city concept is related to higher levels of smart-city commitment. Sociodemographic factors such as age and labor condition also explain ICT use.

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to shed further light on determinants of the openness degree to give a more conclusive evidence to the research in the field. In particular, the influence exerted by the technological strategy is still debated, in that evidence on the relationship between the technological strategy and openness is conflicting. Design/methodology/approach – The authors put forward a structural equation model which enriches the state-of-the-art literature by explicitly testing the interplay among technological strategy, openness (innovatively measured in terms of partner intensity, phase intensity and variety in terms of partners, phases and contents) and innovation performance. Our study relies on data from 415 firms based on a research survey developed in Finland, Italy and Sweden. Findings – Findings show that openness, if measured in terms of partner intensity and phase intensity, fully mediates the relationship between technological strategy and innovation performance, by suggesting that the effectiveness of a firm’s technologically aggressive behavior is strongly related to the intensification of collaboration with the partners along the innovation funnel. Conversely, openness variety seems to play an opposite role and is influenced differently by partner and phase intensity. This result likely emphasizes how the cost-side of open behavior becomes harder to manage, and thus costly, when it involves too many different types of partners, phases and contents. Practical implications – Firms that adopt a technologically aggressive strategy are recommended to deeply open their innovation process to foster innovation performance. However, because of the fact that a high level of openness variety could generate some drawbacks, managers should be very careful in the management of different phases, sources and content. Therefore, what clearly emerges is a call to find adequate strategies for effectively managing the collaboration process to avoid the waste of resources and initiatives. Originality/value – Originality and the value of the paper reside in a more fine-grained definition of the openness concept, which takes into consideration other facets of openness compared to those usually analyzed in the literature, and a powerful statistical model, such as structural equation modeling, offering great advantages and flexibility in matching the theoretical model with the data.

Customer loyalty is ‘suspected’not been able to optimizationrepetition of transactions, customer recommendation and durability with the establishment relationship quality of the trust, customer satisfaction and commitment. Therefore, research conducted on Bank CIMB Niaga aims to determine the extent of the trust, and commitment to customer satisfaction can increase X-tra and TabunganKU savings customer loyalty. This research is verification and the method of research is explanatory survey method, the sample is 160 customer X-tra and tabunganKU savings in the branch office Bank CIMB Niaga Bintaro. The analytical method used is structural equation model. The results showed loyalty can be achieved with relationship quality for customers through the establishment of trust, and commitment to customer satisfaction, which all three have a positive influence. Therefore, the management of Bank CIMB Niaga need to improve their ability in trust, satisfactionand commitmentwith the bank's customers to become increasingly favored customers.

E-learning adalah mediator yang menghubungkan sumber daya informasi dan layanan pengguna yang dapat diakses dari mana saja dan kapan saja. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui seberapa besar pengaruh komponen Kepuasan Komputasi Pengguna Akhir (konten, akurasi, bentuk, kemudahan penggunaan, dan ketepatan waktu) terhadap kepuasan penggunaan   E-learning di Universitas Islam Negeri Raden Fatah Palembang. Mengetahui tingkat kepuasan pengguna (siswa) dengan penerapan teknologi pendidikan, yaitu E-learning. Mengetahui faktor apa yang mempengaruhi kepuasan menggunakan E-learning. Sebagai dasar pertimbangan untuk meningkatkan atau meningkatkan kualitas layanan teknologi pendidikan, yaitu e-learning di Universitas Islam Negeri Raden Fatah di Palembang. Populasi dan sampel penelitian diambil di Universitas Islam Negeri Raden Fatah Palembang, yang telah menggunakan E-learning sebagai mediator informasi antara dosen dan mahasiswa. SEM (Structural Equation Model) adalah metode analisis multivariat yang dapat digunakan untuk menggambarkan hubungan simultan antara variabel linier antara indikator dan variabel yang tidak dapat diukur secara langsung (variabel laten).

Abstrak: Pada era modern saat ini kemajuan teknologi semakin berkembang pesat dan membawa kita kepada arah basis digital dan mobile. Fenomena tersebut dimanfaatkan oleh industri perbankan untuk berinovasi dalam hal pembayaran secara elektronik yang biasa kita sebut dengan e-money. Uang elektronik muncul dipicu dengan adanya tuntutan dari masyarakat saat ini. Sistem pembayaran yang ada saat ini dituntut untuk dapat melayani setiap kebutuhan masyarakat dalam pemindahan dana dengan efektif dan efisien. Salah satu inovasi yang diluncurkan saat ini adalah Gopay, metode pembayaran berbasis server yang dikeluarkan oleh Gojek Indonesia. Penelitian ini memiliki tujuan yaitu menentukan efek e-service quality pada customer satisfaction dan customer loyalty pelanggan Gopay di Indonesia. Kuesioner dikumpulkan secara online dengan menggunakan google form sebanyak 400 responden. Pengolahan data menggunakan Structural Equation Model (SEM) dengan menggunakan bantuan program AMOS 24. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ditemukan bahwa e-service quality memiliki pengaruh positif terhadap customer satisfaction, yang dimana customer satisfaction sendiri memiliki pengaruh yang positif terhadap customer loyalty, namun ditemukannya ketidak pengaruhan yang positif bagi e-service quality terhadap customer loyalty.
