The emerging market is facing the challenge of establishing a cost-competitive offshore wind industry. This paper aims to evaluate offshore wind power investments in Taiwan using the probability-based Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) model in order to investigate ways to overcome this challenge. To capture the project's uncertainties, a probabilistic approach and the Monte Carlo technique are utilized, and their effects on project evaluation are portrayed through the probability distribution of LCOE and sensitivity analysis. Additionally, a simulation based on a chronological approach is developed to directly investigate the probability density function of the capacity factor for a specific wind farm site. The study concludes that the proposed approach provides better insights into projects and performs better in project evaluation, especially for projects located in high-frequency wind areas.</p> <p><strong>Research paper</strong></p> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Offshore Wind; Energy; Investment Evaluation; Uncertainty; Monte Carlo</p> <p><strong>Reference</strong> to this paper should be made as follows: Nguyen, T.

The resource-based view (RBV) and the stakeholder model established a set of values that businesses might use to create a sustainable future. The primary objective of this research was to explore how RBV and the stakeholder theory model support sustainable business performance through organizational agility, employer branding, and green technology innovation. A conceptual framework was built by reviewing the prior literature in order to accomplish the study's goal. This conceptual approach consists of three phases: agility-brand talent attraction measure (ABTAM), innovation, and sustainability. For the purpose to achieve sustainable business performance, organizational agility, employer branding and green technology innovation were supported by previous literature. Although this idea outlines basic concepts. However, it is important to take into account any relevant data in order to bring these steps into integration with the different situations. In order to achieve many aspects of organizational sustainability, this article offers a systematic review of the Resource Based View (RBV) and stakeholder model. Within the context of the RBV and stakeholder model, a conceptual framework was established to create a sustainable business performance. This was accomplished by incorporating organizational agility and employer branding into the context of the model. In this work, both theoretical and practical ramifications are taken into consideration and explained</p> <p><strong>Research paper</strong></p> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Organizational agility; Employer branding; Innovation; Sustainability; RBV; Stakeholder</p> <p><strong>Reference</strong> to this paper should be made as follows: Hussain, A., Abdul Wahab, S., & Shaharudin, A.

This study aims to examine the relationship between consumer consumption values and consumer satisfaction towards continuous intention to watch digital content. We collected quantitative data via an online survey disseminated to a total of 215 respondents among young digital video consumers in Malaysia, and the data was analyzed using SPSS/PLS-SEM. The findings revealed that the functional value, entertainment value, perceived usefulness, and confirmation were significant determinants of consumer satisfaction. Meanwhile, social value and informative value were found to be insignificant to consumer satisfaction and social media usage was found to not strengthen the relationship between consumer satisfaction and continuous intention. The findings could help video content providers to understand consumers’ preferences as well as marketers and organizations to use and adapt these factors in their marketing strategies to improve video content creation so it can be more effective and attractive to consumers’ needs and preferences. This is one of the few studies that implied social media usage as a moderator towards continuous intention to view video content with the integration of two theories that were Theory of Consumption Value and the Expectation of Confirmation Model.</p> <p><strong>Research paper</strong></p> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Satisfaction; Continuous Intention; Social Media Usage; Theory of Consumption Values; Expectation Confirmation Model</p> <p><strong>Reference</strong> to this paper should be made as follows: Ariffin, S.

With unsustainable issues being widely reported and must be addressed by consumers’ adoption of Halal cosmetics with sustainable attributes. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to develop a conceptual framework to investigate factor influencing consumers’ intention to purchase Halal cosmetics in Malaysia. Theory of consumption value (TCV) was employed as an underpinning theory, utilizing unique context-specific attributes of Halal cosmetics to aid in the development of the conceptual framework. A quantitative analysis with electronic questionnaire survey is proposed as data collection process. This paper makes significant theoretical contributions by integrating the unique context-specific attributes associated with the consumption values of Halal cosmetics, highlighting the novelty of this conceptual framework. The proposed conceptual framework also serves as a reference and guidance for Halal cosmetics manufacturers, marketers, and policymakers that seek to formulate marketing and policy strategies aimed at motivating consumers to actively purchase Halal cosmetics. This, in turn, can contribute to the pursuit of sustainable development and expansion of the Halal cosmetics market in Malaysia</p> <p><strong>Conceptual paper</strong></p> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Halal cosmetics; Sustainability; Consumption value; Theory of consumption value; Purchase intention</p> <p><strong>Reference</strong> to this paper should be made as follows: Liew, C.

It has stood a chance to compete fairly with restaurants and other structures set to sell fast food and beverages. It is due to its emergency that a lot of studies have been conducted to determine its efficiency and quality of products sold by these food truck providers. This has led to some sort of neglect on the perception customers have on the quality of service offered by food truck provides. This study is thus an exploration of perception the customers have on quality of services provided by trucks and how this influences their repurchase intention and intention to recommend to food truck providers. Key concepts of this research have been divided into three variables and SOR model were used. The item for independent variable consist of assurance, tangibility, empathy, reliability and responsiveness, and customer recovery ; dependent variable consist of repurchase intention and intention to recommend, and the mediating variable of customer confidence were helps to develop the research hypotheses with the general aim being investigating what customers call quality services and how this boosts their confidence leading to repurchase intentions and intention to recommend to food truck providers. To achieve the results for this study, and effective results for that matter, this research employs a quantitative form of study. By interacting with a sample of willing 241 respondents this study is hoped to promote and provide data that can be relied upon and as well be used for establishing gaps existed in research on food truck service providers. It has been found from this research that assurance and customer recovery have direct and indirect effect on customer confidence and repurchase intention and intention to recommend. Meanwhile, tangibility, empathy and reliability and responsiveness have no direct and indirect effect. Furthermore, customer confidence plays a positive impact on both independent variable. These items used and results gained from this study is on service quality and food truck is new in the research field and these results could be the starting point of future researches.</p> <p><strong>Research paper</strong></p> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Food Trucks; Revisit Intentions; Assurance; Tangibility; Empathy; Reliability and Responsiveness; Customer Confidence; Customer Recovery</p> <p><strong>Reference</strong> to this paper should be made as follows: Kumar, K.
