Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Demystifying the Factors Influencing the Fear of Failure Towards Entrepreneurial Behaviour: Comparative Insights Between pre-COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 Period   Order a copy of this article

    Abstract: This paper focuses on finding the factors of fear of failure (FoF) that influence aversive behaviour towards entrepreneurship in the pre-COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 periods. The study has used a deductive research design to portray the structural relationship between FoF and avoidance behaviour toward entrepreneurship. We took the responses using the developed FoF scale and entrepreneurship avoidance behaviour from the 330 university students of Bangladesh in early 2020 and after the COVID-19 situation in early 2023. The findings highlight that in the pandemic, all the factors of FoF reinforce aversive consequences that influence the avoidance behaviour of students. In the post-COVID-19 period, the FoF factors have more detrimental effects on entrepreneurial behaviour than in the pre-COVID-19 period. The research findings have implications for academics and policymakers to devise remedial factors to minimise the fear factors and engage students in entrepreneurship during adverse situations.
    Keywords: Fear of failure; University students; Entrepreneurship; Avoidance behavior; Aversive consequences; COVID-19.

  • Implementation of Game Elements in Online Business related to Fashion   Order a copy of this article

    Abstract: The gamification criteria based on the crisp analysis algorithm and the K-mean for clustering are studied. The calculation of the customer lifetime value (CLV) based on the recency frequency monetary variable (RFMV) model including purchase recency, purchase frequency, purchase monetary, and purchase variety, weight using Shannon index, as well as the diagnostic analysis in three cluster segments and their lifetime value. Additionally, we develop the consideration of gamification as a tool that online businesses can apply to boost CLV and increase online sales, especially clothing and footwear industry. The approximate volume of the sample includes all customers who follow the company’s Instagram profile (242 customers). The findings indicate that gamification can greatly influence RFMV criteria and thus increase CLV. The final clustering shows that if gamification can offer the right mechanics by identifying the audience types, it can identify the most accurate motivations and thereby increase the CLV.
    Keywords: customer lifetime value; CLV; gamification; data mining; recency frequency monetary variable; RFMV; clustering.
