Nostalgia Narrative: A Review on Emotional Appeals and Consumer Behaviour
type: item
description: This review examines how advertising leverages personal and collective nostalgia to drive consumer behavior, brand loyalty, and market engagement. Synthesizing historical timelines and recent empirical studies from 2022–2025, the text shows that nostalgic appeals enhance memory retention by 1.8x and raise repeat purchase intent by 12%. The cognitive pathways convert retro stimuli into favorable brand attitudes via mechanisms like self-continuity and social connectedness. However, performance boundaries exist: 51.1% of consumers exhibit strict price sensitivity when assessing high-priced nostalgic products. Ultimately, nostalgic marketing acts as an emotional anchor that effectively bridges generation gaps.

Regulating Standalone Oil Palm Mills in Indonesia: A Review
type: item
description: Indonesia’s palm oil sector depends on the rapid movement of fresh fruit bunches from farms to mills, which makes milling capacity central to farmer welfare, industrial efficiency, and sustainability governance. Yet policy controversy has intensified around oil palm mills that operate without owning or directly controlling plantations. This article offers a qualitative literature review of how such mills should be regulated in Indonesia. Drawing on recent peer-reviewed studies, official regulations, certification issues, and statistics, the article argues that standalone mills are neither inherently harmful nor inherently desirable. Their effects depend on location, sourcing arrangements, and the institutional quality of supervision. On the positive side, these mills can widen market access for independent smallholders, reduce fruit-queue losses, stimulate local investment, and weaken localised monopsony. On the negative side, they can disrupt long-established plasma relationships, intensify opportunistic competition for oil palm fresh fruit bunches, weaken traceability, and create incentives for informal ramp-based procurement or legality gaps. The review finds that an outright ban would be too blunt and potentially exclusionary, while laissez-faire tolerance would be too risky for sustainability and the integrity of partnerships. The most appropriate policy is a conditional governance model that recognises standalone mills as lawful but subjects them to spatial feasibility tests, mandatory smallholder partnerships, transparent pricing rules, digital traceability, registered loading ramps, phased ISPO integration, and differentiated enforcement for remote and underserved districts. Such a model would better align farmer inclusion, industrial order, and sustainability in Indonesia’s palm oil ecosystem.

From Loose Oil Palm Fruits to Legitimate Palm Oil Value Chains: A Review
type: item
description: Loose oil palm fruits are often treated as a narrow operational concern at harvest, yet recent literature shows they are a broader systems variable that connects ripeness assessment, labour use, free fatty acid formation, mill efficiency, smallholder income, certification feasibility, and sectoral legitimacy. This article develops a narrative review of recent peer-reviewed scholarship, with emphasis on reputable journal publications from 2020 onward, to explain why loose fruits should be understood not as incidental residues but as a strategic node in the palm oil economy. The review finds that loose oil palm fruits contain valuable, recoverable oil, but poor collection, long harvest intervals, bruising, delayed processing, and mixed handling with fresh fruit bunches can degrade oil quality, particularly by increasing free fatty acid levels and reducing bleachability. At the same time, the problem is not purely technical. Smallholder yield gaps, labour scarcity, transport frictions, weak incentives, incomplete land legality, and uneven access to certified mills all shape how loose fruits are managed in practice. Recent evidence also suggests that better agronomy, shorter harvest intervals, targeted postharvest innovation, stronger farmer organisations, and more enabling certification design can improve both product quality and rural welfare without requiring further land expansion. The article, therefore, argues for an integrated approach in which loose-fruit management becomes a practical entry point for quality upgrading, inclusive intensification, and more credible governance in the palm oil sector.

A Study on the Role of Digital Technology in Improving Supply Chain Efficiency Among Retailers in Nagapattinam
type: item
description: Retail businesses in India’s semi-urban districts increasingly face pressure to modernise their logistics and stock-handling practices, yet surprisingly little field-level evidence exists on whether investing in digital tools actually pays off for smaller merchants. This paper set out to investigate that question by surveying 150 retailers spread across grocery, electronics, apparel, and general merchandise shops in Nagapattinam, a coastal district in southern Tamilnadu. Each participant responded to a structured questionnaire built around a five-point Likert scale, covering four constructs: Digital Infrastructure Adoption, Technology-Driven Inventory Management, Data Analytics and Decision Support, and Supply Chain Efficiency. The instrument demonstrated strong reliability, returning an overall Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.857. Pearson correlation tests uncovered statistically significant positive links between every independent variable and supply chain efficiency; the tightest association was with Technology-Driven Inventory Management (r = 0.256, p = 0.002). A multiple regression model incorporating all three predictors proved significant at the one-per-cent level (F = 6.335, p < 0.001) and accounted for 11.5 per cent of the variance in the outcome measure. Within that model, Technology-Driven Inventory Management (β = 0.192, p = 0.019) and Digital Infrastructure Adoption (β = 0.177, p = 0.030) emerged as individually significant drivers, whereas Data Analytics and Decision Support fell just short of the conventional threshold (β = 0.119, p = 0.143). A chi-square test found no meaningful link between the retailer’s age group and the efficiency category achieved (χ² = 7.539, p = 0.480). Taken together, the results confirm that digital technology adoption does lift supply chain performance in a semi-urban retail setting, though the modest effect size underscores that technology alone is not a silver bullet. The paper closes with practical recommendations—ranging from sub…

A Study on Behavioral Finance: Impact of Investor Psychology on Stock Investment Decision
type: item
description: This study focuses on the impact of investor psychology on stock investment decisions under the domain of behavioral finance. Behavioral finance explains how psychological factors, emotions, and cognitive biases influence investors while making financial decisions. The study aims to analyze how emotions such as fear and greed, along with behavioral biases like overconfidence, herd behavior, loss aversion, and anchoring, affect investors’ decision-making and risk-taking behavior in stock market investments. The research adopted a descriptive research design, and primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire from 150 respondents. Statistical tools such as percentage analysis, mean analysis, correlation analysis, and chi-square test were used to analyze the collected data. The findings revealed that most respondents were young and moderately experienced investors. The study also found that emotional and behavioral factors had only a weak influence on investment decisions among respondents. The correlation analysis indicated no significant relationship between emotional influence and risk-taking behavior, as well as between planned investment strategy and diversification decisions. Similarly, the chi-square analysis showed no significant association between investment experience and market fluctuations. The study concludes that investors generally rely more on rational judgment and financial awareness rather than emotional influences while making investment decisions.

A Structural Equation Model of HRM Practices, Employee Engagement, and Organizational Performance
type: item
description: This study examines the relationship between Human Resource Management (HRM) practices, employee engagement, and organizational performance using a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach. Drawing on Social Exchange Theory and the Resource-Based View, the research investigates how HRM practices influence organizational outcomes through employee engagement as a mediating variable. Data were collected from 310 employees working in leading software companies in Bangalore, India, using a structured questionnaire based on a five-point Likert scale. The results of Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and SEM indicate that HRM practices have a significant positive impact on employee engagement (β = 0.65, p < 0.001), and employee engagement significantly influences organizational performance (β = 0.58, p < 0.001). The model explains 34% of the variance in organizational performance. Further, mediation analysis using bootstrapping confirms that employee engagement partially mediates the relationship between HRM practices and organizational performance, with a significant indirect effect (β = 0.37, p < 0.001). The findings highlight the critical role of engagement-driven HR strategies in enhancing organizational effectiveness. The study contributes to HRM literature by validating a comprehensive SEM framework and offers practical insights for managers to strengthen workforce engagement and performance outcomes.

AI-Driven Structural Modeling for Predicting Macroeconomic Shocks
type: item
description: Macroeconomic shocks such as financial crises, supply-chain disruptions, geopolitical events, and abrupt policy changes pose significant challenges to conventional forecasting models due to their nonlinear dynamics, structural breaks, and high-dimensional data environments. This paper proposes a hybrid AI-driven structural modeling framework that integrates the theoretical rigor of dynamic structural models with the predictive power of modern machine learning techniques. By embedding economic theory into AI architectures, the framework enhances shock identification, captures nonlinear transmission mechanisms, and improves early-warning capabilities for both anticipated and unanticipated macroeconomic disturbances. Using a combination of structural VARs, DSGE-based constraints, deep neural estimation, and reinforcement learning for policy simulation, the study demonstrates how AI can estimate latent structural parameters, detect regime changes, and model complex interactions across monetary, financial, and real-economy variables. Simulation experiments and empirical applications using global macroeconomic datasets indicate that AI-enhanced structural models significantly outperform traditional benchmarks in both accuracy and speed of shock prediction. The research contributes to the growing intersection of AI and macroeconomics by providing a systematic methodology for theoretical consistency, interpretability, and data-driven predictive power, offering new tools for policymakers, central banks, and financial institutions.

Does Sustainability Report Give more Value Relevance Rather Than Integrated Report? : A Study among G-20 Countries
type: item
description: The changing nature of the business environment has seen an increase in awareness on the importance of nonfinancial data when valuing companies and looking at their long-term sustainability. This is due to the argument that traditional reporting methods did not meet all stakeholders' demands of information. The more business entities disclose nonfinancial information, the better it is for reducing market issues and increasing capital market efficiency. The sustainability report and the integrated report, is a revolutionary reporting structure that aims to combine financial and nonfinancial data into a single cohesive report. However, it should be noted that simply creating sustainability or integrated reporting does not ensure greater value for the organization. It is critical that sustainability and integrated reporting go beyond simply delivering information and data, that demonstrate value-relevance by drawing a direct line between a company's sustainability initiatives and its financial performance. This research is designed to examine the value-relevance of integrated and sustainability through a comparison of integrated reports to sustainability reports and assess what effect of these reports has on the investment decisions of their stakeholders. Using of the value-relevance model by Ohlson to assess the relevance of disclosed information to market valuation, of which sample uses companies from G20 that report Integrated Report on IIRC as community member of GRI from 2020-2024. The results indicate that value-relevance for integrated reports is higher than sustainability reports, which means Integrated report can improve the value-relevance of accounting data, but unable to enhance the earnings per share. Integrated reporting indeed offering stakeholders more insight into the financial health and valuations of their assets.

Optimal Portfolio Construction Using Modern Portfolio Theory and Sharpe’s Single Index Model: Evidence from NSE Listed Companies
type: item
description: This study focuses on the construction of an optimal portfolio using Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) with reference to the top 20 market capitalization companies listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE). The analysis is based on secondary data collected from the Bloomberg database for the period January 2021 to December 2025. Key financial metrics such as mean return, standard deviation, and beta were computed to evaluate the risk-return profile of selected stocks. The findings reveal that Bajaj Finance (20.3%) and SBI (19.2%) offer higher returns but are associated with higher risk, whereas Nestle and HUL demonstrate lower volatility with stable returns. The Excess Return to Beta Ratio indicates that Reliance (10.00), HDFC Bank (9.39), and Bajaj Finance (9.23) provide superior risk-adjusted performance. A cutoff rate (Ci) of approximately 0.0110 was determined using Sharpe’s Single Index Model, and only stocks exceeding this threshold were included in the optimal portfolio. The final portfolio comprises diversified stocks such as Reliance, HDFC Bank, TCS, Infosys, and Bajaj Finance. The study concludes that a systematic and quantitative approach enhances portfolio efficiency by optimizing the trade-off between risk and return.
