Abstract: This study aims to investigate the relationship among performance risk, safety risk, social risk, psychological risk, satisfaction, and intention to use Grab in Vietnam. Validated measurements were identified from a literature review. A convenience sample of 276 respondents was collected through online and offline survey. It was then analyzed by using SPSS and AMOS software. A reliability test, EFA, CFA and SEM were implemented. The results of this study indicate a negative relationship between safety risk and satisfaction and intention to use Grab cars. In addition, passengers’ satisfaction influenced intentions to use Grab cars. However, performance risk and social risk show no effect on satisfaction and intentions to use Grab service. The main contribution of this study is to create a framework of the effect of perceived risk types on intention to use Grab cars. The users care about their own safety and information security. In addition, the issue of said psychological risk is important because consumers are concerned about health and infectious diseases.

Abstract: Emergency department (ED) overcrowding is a common issue in emergency medicine of Canada. Previous studies indicate that adding a physician in triage (PIT) can increase accuracy and efficiency in the initial process of patient evaluations. However, the PIT concept should be thoroughly researched before its widespread implementation can be recommended. This paper introduces the evaluation of impact of PIT on ED patient wait times and length of stay (LOS) using simulation modeling. A discrete-event simulation model of ED is built to simulate and predict the effect of PIT intervention. The model performance is validated using current-state ED flow metrics to quantitatively test multiple alternatives for ED improvements. Results show that the PIT implementation can reduce the ED patient LOS by an average of 34% and Waiting to be Seen time by 49% across all scenarios studied. The proposed method can be applied to improve the operation efficiency of healthcare systems in the current pandemic, COVID -19.

Abstract: ERP implementation requires a substantial investment and typically built through project management, which needs a rigorous and in limited time management. ERP implementation requires enormous efforts to implement because it involves all business functions in the organization and partners (ERP vendors and consultants) This paper aims to examine the impact of implementing an enterprise resources planning project on firm performance and organizational citizenship behavior as a moderating variable. The study has surveyed 61 respondents representing 61 manufacturing companies domiciled in the region of East Java, Indonesia, which has adopted an ERP system for more than five years. Survey used questionnaire designed with a five-point Likert scale. The respondent is the key user who is responsible for the success of the ERP system in its business functions of the company. Data analysis used SPSS version 25 to assess the indicator validity and examine the hypothesis developed. The result showed that the implementation of the enterprise resources planning project directly affected firm performance. Second, organizational citizenship behavior directly influences firm performance. Third, the implementation of the ERP project influences firm performance with organizational citizenship behavior as a moderator vari-able. This research provides an insight to project manager in building employee relationship to complete the projects on time. This study also enriches the current research in the supply chain theory.

Corruption and long-term investment of businesses in Vietnam
, Pages: 237-244 Lai Cao Mai Phuong PDF (650K) |

Abstract: This paper investigates the effects of corruption and long-term investment of businesses in Vietnam using the General Least Square (GLS) estimation method for businesses in 63 provinces in Vietnam from 2016-2018. The results show that corruption was an important factor affecting the long-term investment decisions of Vietnamese enterprises. The ability to predict corruption of businesses can explain the phenomenon of part of the cash flow of businesses flowing out of production and business. Informal costs related to low-level administrative procedures act as “grease” to help businesses reduce time costs, but when the total amount of unofficial expenses exceeds 10% of revenue of businesses, they become a burden for businesses and restrain them from making long-term investments. Corrupted public officials' behavior has led businesses to misallocate resources and prevent them from making long-term investments. The result shows that the East Asia paradox holds only for the case of informal costs related to administrative procedures in Vietnam.

Abstract: The construction process is inherently prone to risks. Risk management is an essential and integral part of project management on all construction projects. Risk analysis is one of the core components of risk management that enables professionals to quantify and analyze risks that may pose potential threats to project performance in terms of various parameters. This research was conducted to identify and analyze risks associated with residential construction in Bangalore. In this study, risk and its impact on time and cost was identified and analyzed. Schedule impacts of project risks were supplemented by conducting quantitative risk analysis such as Monte Carlo simulation and sensitivity analysis using the Primavera risk analysis software. In case of cost, the cost variance was found out and mitigation measures were given. Thus, by effectively managing the risks, organization has more timely, comprehensive and deeper understanding of risks which in turn facilitates better decision making and confidence to take on new ventures or even to accept higher level of risk.
