Author(s): Muruga P. Ramaswamy / Language(s): English Issue: 14/2021

Public administration could play a critical role in ensuring a fair and effective functioning of the capital markets. Promoting a vibrant and sustainable financial market warrants a delicate balance between the administrative powers and the rights and interests of the involved stakeholders. The present paper examines the structure and powers of specific administrative mechanisms in HKSAR to assess the scope and limitations of public administration in influencing the functioning of the capital markets. The paper investigates how the instrument of judicial review in HKSAR has sought to serve as a check and balance of the powers conferred upon the administrative mechanisms and other relevant rights and interests. The paper concludes with an analysis of the critical features of the regulatory, administrative and judicial mechanism in HKSAR to determine whether public administrative instruments and bodies have a positive role to play in enhancing the attractiveness and the confidence in capital markets for local, regional and international stakeholders.

Author(s): Roman Vladimirovich SHAPOVAL,Elena Viktorovna VITS’KO,Olga Ivanivna DEMENKO,Kristina Vladimirovna Solntseva / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2016

The article deals with the possible directions of the administrative-territorial reform in Ukraine in present conditions. The main objective of the study is to develop practical recommendations for carrying out an administrative-territorial reform in Ukraine based on the experience of Western European countries. In this paper the authors applied the method of legal modeling, the prognostic method, which enabled to give scientifically based forecasts on the prospects of the administrative-territorial reform in Ukraine and the implementation of efficient administrative and territorial management. Scientific novelty of the paper includes outlining the essence of the administrative and territorial reform in modern Ukraine, complex and hierarchical national conditions and reform factors. The article also states the necessity of broad decentralization and deconcentration of power, which would enable to stabilize the social situation in the country and topromote the democracy. The undertaken analysis allowed identifying a new form of government, which cannot be considered either unitary or federal. This form of government can be found in Western European countries and is characterized by the indivisibility of the state, which acknowledges local autonomies and implies the most extensive administrative descentralization. The authors propose to improve Ukraine’s control mechanisms according to this form of state structure and taking into account the status of the regions. The article makes a distinction between the concepts ‘the territorial structure of the state’ and ‘the administrative-territorial structure of the state’, the original author’s definitions provided. Practical conclusions and recommendations on carrying out the administrative-territorial reform in Ukraine and proposals for optimization of the control mechanism can be used by Western European countries facing administrative and territorial challenges.

Amplifying organizational performance from business intelligence: Business analytics implementation in the retail industry

Author(s): Emmanuel P. Paulino / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

PURPOSE: The concept of business analytics (BA) and business intelligence (BI) is just emerging in the Philippines. Since these are new concepts, it is important to investigate their impact on organizational performance and the performance metrics in business industry. The aim of this study is to examine the impact of business analytics generating business intelligence and how it affects organizational performance by developing a structural model. Consequently, the impact of organizational performance on other performance metrics was also established. METHODOLOGY: The partial least squares – structural equation modeling was utilized, which proposed a model that shows how business intelligence, generated by business BA, affects organizational performance, which consequently leads to improved marketing, financial, and business process performance. A survey was conducted on business analysts and executive managers of retail companies that have already been implementing BA for at least three years. FINDINGS: BA capabilities have a significant positive effect on the level of BI. BI has a significant positive effect on organizational performance. However, the result of the moderation analysis indicated that the level of readiness for BA implementation could not be considered a moderating factor on the relationship between BI and organizational performance. IMPLICATIONS: Out of the different BA capabilities, the decision support system and business process management were found to be the most beneficial functions in generating BI. BI amplifies organizational performance and consequently improves the marketing and business process performance of retail firms. However, the readiness for BA implementation does not significantly affect how BI improves organizational performance. Overall, it is recommended that in order to enhance marketing and business process performance, retail firms should focus on the BA capabilities of decision support system and business process management. ORIGINALITY AND VALUE: This would be the first empirical study in the Philippines which has assessed how business analytics and business intelligence impact organizational performance. This study is original in determining what BA capabilities generate BI, which translates to improved organizational performance. This study is also unique in defining what key performance metrics are much improved as a result of its implementation. This may serve as a viable reference for other researchers interested in business analytics and other technology about data management applied in business operations.

AN ANALYSIS OF A LOW-INCOME HOUSING REGARDING FUNCTIONALITY AND ACCESSIBILITY REQUIREMENTS AND POST-OCCUPANCY EVALUATION

Author(s): Gabriela da Costa BONETTI,Lucia BRESSIANI,Regiane Slongo FAGUNDES,Felipe Eduardo FAVRETO,Mayra BRANCO,Lucas Broglio BERNARDI,Janine Nicolosi CORREA,Eduardo Cesar AMANCIO / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

Using prefecture-level panel data of cities in the Yangtze River Delta Urban Agglomeration(YRDUA) from 2006 to To solve the Brazilian habitation issues, several social programs were developed over the year by the Federal Government, initiating social housing in the country. This paper aims to analyze the functionality and accessibility in a social housing located in southern Brazil. Therefore, a qualitative-quantitative collection was performed, based on Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) - interview and Walkthrough - and analysis of the performance standard in the criteria of functionality and accessibility. A statistical study was also performed on the measure of similarity and the method of connection of the nearest neighbor. It was noticed that, although there are few criteria in which the houses don't accord to the standard, the standard is not satisfied with the dwellings.

An Analysis of Household Income in Poland and Slovakia Based on Selected Income Models

Author(s): Kamila Trzcińska / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

Research background: Studies of income distributions may focus on describing empirical distributions by theoretical models. This approach can be useful for many reasons. When choosing a statistical model, it is important both to find out a theoretical distribution function that would characterize empirical frequency distribution and to choose suitable methods to calculate the parameters of the model. In the literature, there are proposals for various types of mathematical functions. Very high accuracy with empirical distribution is characteristic for Dagum and log-normal models. In 2010 Zenga proposed a new three-parameter model for economic size distribution which possesses interesting statistical properties. Purpose: The aim of this paper is to apply and compare Dagum, log-normal and Zenga models to income distributions in Poland and Slovakia. Research methodology: The studies are based on research data from the European Quality of Life Surveys (EQLS), whose purpose is to measure both objective and subjective indicators of the standard of living of citizens and their households. The estimation parameters were obtained by means of the maximum likelihood method and D’Addario’s invariants method. Results: The results of the conducted approximations, presented in the paper confirmed the good consistency of the Dagum and Zenga distributions with the empirical income distribution of households in Poland and Slovakia. Novelty: The Zenga distribution was used for the first time to describe the income distribution of the Slovak population and it allows the best fit to the empirical data of this country.

An Analysis of the Liberalization Process of Gas Market for Household Consumers in Romania

Author(s): Alexandra Cătălina NEDELCU,Mihail Buşu / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

In this paper, the authors are making an analysis of the liberalization process of the Gas Market for the household consumers in Romania, based on the data collected from the natural gas suppliers as well as from the Romanian Energy Regulatory Authority in the field Energy (ANRE). The authors are analyzing the pre- and post-liberalization situation for household consumers, illustrated in terms of some basic indicators, namely the number of household customers from the regulated and competitive supply segment, the number of suppliers with domestic gas customers, the shares held by suppliers with domestic gas customers, as well as the number of present suppliers with natural gas offers. There were also identified clauses that lead to cost increase for the customer in case of change of supplier. The conclusions underline the fact that the process of liberalizing the supply of natural gas to the household has not had a significant impact on final customers, but it is rather a combination of other factors, such as: the low prices during the hot season may not induce a particular appetite for switching the current supplier, the natural gas offers made at the beginning of the liberalization process may not have been attractive enough to determine the change of the current natural gas supplier, and the low level of information provided by the gas suppliers. Our recommendations are that the suppliers should provide unique terms and conditions for their customers, and to present their offers in a clear, transparent, and concise manner.
