  • Traits-based technology acceptance toward smart tourism app: an empirical research on Vietnamese Gen Z travellers   Order a copy of this article
    by Nhu-Ty Nguyen, Thai-Ngoc Pham 
    Abstract: Trait is believed to be the most crucial enduring antecedent for predicting contextual action. This study employs the 3M model of Mowen in identifying and estimating the influence of traits and motives to explain the willingness to adopt smart tourism apps among Vietnamese Gen Z travellers. There were 431 Vietnamese Gen Z participants in the sample, and the findings demonstrated that a taxonomy of traits accounted for the adoption level, including: conscientiousness, extraversion, and openness to experience (classified as element traits), self-efficacy, need for affiliation, proactive personality, innovativeness, and competitiveness (classified as compound traits), desire for uniqueness, market maven, and perceived usefulness (classified as situational traits). The study confirms that traits exist on a continuum and vary across contexts and segments in their contributions to a certain action. Implications and limitations are discussed in the study.
    Keywords: new technology adoption; 3M Model; trait; smart tourism app; Gen Z; elemental trait; compound trait; situational trait; surface trait; tourism industry.

  • Supply chain collaboration: a conceptual framework   Order a copy of this article
    by Ho Minh Chau 
    Abstract: This study develops an integrated conceptual framework explaining collaboration in Vietnams unburnt brick (UBB) supply chain. Anchored in Commitment-Trust Theory and integrated with transaction cost economics, social exchange theory, the resource-based view, and Stakeholder Theory, the framework captures the relational and institutional dynamics of sustainable collaboration. A theoretical synthesis and systematic literature review of studies published from 2005 to 2025 identified trust, commitment, corporate social and environmental responsibility, and government support policies as key determinants. The study advances a Vietnam-specific mechanism in which trust and commitment mediate the effects of firm-level and institutional enablers on supply chain collaboration. By showing how relational governance transforms policy support and sustainability initiatives into operational cooperation and long-term partnership stability, the framework offers a basis for empirical validation through structural equation modelling and practical guidance for policymakers and managers in green construction industries.
    Keywords: supply chain collaboration; trust and commitment; sustainable development; unburnt bricks; supply chain management.

  • Financial literacy and value creation in rural enterprises: evidence from the non-centrifugal sugar (panela) sector in Colombia   Order a copy of this article
    by Johana Regino Vergara, Paola Suarez Bocanegra 
    Abstract: This study examines the role of financial literacy in value creation within rural enterprises in emerging economies through a qualitative case study of panela producers in Villeta, Colombia. Panela, internationally known as non-centrifugal sugar, is a traditional agro-industrial product mainly produced by small rural enterprises. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participatory financial analysis sessions, and documentary reviews. The findings show that strengthening financial capabilities improves entrepreneurs ability to analyse cost structures, evaluate investment alternatives, and identify opportunities for product diversification and value creation. These capabilities enhance strategic decision-making and support the transition to more structured financial management. This study provides empirical evidence on how financial literacy contributes to value creation in rural agro-industrial enterprises, highlighting its relevance for entrepreneurial support and rural development initiatives.
    Keywords: financial literacy; rural entrepreneurship; value creation; emerging economies; non-centrifugal sugar; panela sector; financial capabilities; Colombia.
