Comparative analysis of reverse e-logistics’ solution in Asia and Europe Al Majzoub, Mohamad; Davidavičienė, Vida Purpose – to make comparative analysis of the most successful reverse e-logistics’ solution in Asia and Europe to identify models and methods for solving efficiency and sustainability issues in these areas. Research methodology – the research methodology implemented is composed of literature review, synthesis, and comparative analysis. Findings – certain solutions implemented such as omni-channels, and Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) in Asia, and selecting the best third-party reverse logistics providers (3PRLPs), and green suppliers in Europe were able to increase the efficiency of reverse e-logistics’ performance. Research limitations – the lack of enough researches done in the field of RL in the Middle East created obstacles in double checking the work presented in this paper because more resources are needed to confirm significantly the results. As for future recommendations, further researches should be conducted in the Middle East. Practical implications – the results found can be implemented in those firms who are still suffering inefficiencies and high costs in their reverse e-logistics’ activities. Originality/Value – this research made a comparison study between solutions implemented in Europe and Asia in headto-head comparison in such a way it gave an originalitity of these values since no previous researches and studies were conducted in that comparative way before.

The following article will present a comparative analysis of one aspect of consumer changes caused by ICT, which is e-commerce between Europe and Asia, using Hofstede’s culture dimensions (Power distance, individualism, masculinity and uncertainty avoidance). Purpose – to provide a comparative analysis of consumer behavior changes caused by ICT between Europe and Asia. Research methodology – a synthesis of review of the literature. Findings – provide insight into the difference in consumer behavior changes caused by ICT, between Europe and Asia and provide the basis for future researches. Research limitations – future research should include empirical research and study of other solution and other factors that affect consumer behavior. Practical implications – the practical implication of the article provide a framework for organizations to take into consideration, the difference in consumer behavior between countries when it is targeting their markets. Originality/Value – no comparative.

Social media and tourism promotion: the case of travel marketers Facebook fan pages after Nepal earthquake Karn, Arodh Lal; Karna, Rakshha Kumari Purpose – the purpose of this research is to systematically understand the behavioral and emotional aspects of potential tourists and investigated the conceptual model in the context of the travel marketers’ (TMs) facebook fan pages. Research methodology – the present study performed the two-step SEM approach suggested. the first step involved confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), which was used to validate scales for the measurement of specific constructs proposed in a research model and SEM followed. Findings – the supportive part of the conceptual framework studied how the cognitive (information source, social interaction ties, design characteristics) and effective (entertainment) factors influenced attitudes. Research limitations – the key limitation of this topic may belong to the propensity of the sample to embody the population. This also has a certain influence on SEM exploration. Practical implications – this study provides important guidelines for fan pages’ designers and marketers in the tourism sector especially during the time of destination image crisis. Originality/Value – this research was the earliest to relate the prototype willingness model on travel and tourism Facebook fan pages. In a sense, this research offers a basis for acclimating the prototype willingness model to the touristry social media setting.

The R&D personnel – a key competitive factor for the innovative enterprises in Bulgaria Dimov, Dimcho; Taneva, Neviana Purpose – the article explores the R&D personnel as a competitive factor of the innovative enterprises in Bulgaria. Research methodology – a wide literature review and survey are conducted on R&D personnel and its performance together with a comparative analysis of secondary data resources. Findings – the article presents the essence, the peculiarities, the innovation results, the R&D competencies in the context of the innovative enterprises in Bulgaria. A generalized classification of the innovation goals and results is developed. The approach and the model clearly describe the R&D personnel as a factor, influencing the innovation activity and focus on its improvement. Research limitations – lack of relevant research studies on the topic in Bulgaria.
