A commercial online panel is used to gather data as part of an experiment with an incentive-based online survey. A total of N = 518 individuals are randomly assigned to two treatment groups—opt-in and opt-out—and one control group. The empirical findings of this study show that, although being less effective than the opt-out nudge effect, the opt-in nudge effect nevertheless has a considerable impact on SRI decisions. The study's results also show that financial literacy moderator has partially significant impact on the efficacy of default nudges. In order to improve investment instruments that might encourage SRI investment in society, SRI policymakers can benefit from this study.</p> Khadija Ashfaq, Abdul Raheman Copyright (c) 2023 Khadija Ashfaq, Abdul Raheman https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/sabas/article/view/1831 Thu, 13 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Marketing Analytics Implementation Strategies Exploration for Organizational Transformation at Askari Cement: A Case Study Analysis https://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/sabas/article/view/1838 <p>Marketing Analytics is a strategic shift where companies need to explore and identify the managerial dynamics of marketing analytics in terms of the implementation strategies that are adapted or preferred by the management for transforming the organisation. This study is about the same in terms of a cement manufacturing company. As much of the research concerning the problem area is focused on IT-intensive companies, this research endeavour would enrich the current research in terms of mapping the marketing analytics implementation strategies for organisational transformation in a developing economy.</p> Imran Bashir Dar, Muhammad Naeem Khan, Manzoor Ali Copyright (c) 2023 Imran Bashir Dar, Muhammad Naeem Khan, Manzoor Ali https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://journals.iub.edu.pk/index.php/sabas/article/view/1838 Tue, 18 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0000
