FOREWORD TO NOVEMBER 2023 EDITION

In this diverse and thought-provoking collection of articles, we probe into a wide range of topics that reflect the dynamism of contemporary research across various disciplines. Each article offers unique insights and perspectives, contributing to the ever-evolving landscape of knowledge and understanding.
From grassroots innovation and virtual reality technology to the effects of demographic and geographical factors on technology acceptance, the articles showcase the breadth and depth of research being conducted today. We explore the impact of e-government and corruption control on government effectiveness and economic growth in lower-middle-income countries and examine the nuances of refusal act prosody in drama.
Furthermore, the collection delves into contemporary issues such as the influence of traffic congestion on motorcyclists' behavior, sustainability indicators in fashion MSMEs, market segmentation dashboard systems, and novel viewpoints on consumer behavior. These topics reflect the evolving nature of society, technology, and business in our ever-changing world.
As the Editor-in-Chief, I am delighted to present this compilation of scholarly work, each article representing a valuable contribution to its respective field of study. I extend my gratitude to the authors, reviewers, and editorial team for their dedication and diligence in bringing this publication to fruition.
I hope that readers will find these articles not only informative but also inspiring, sparking further discussions and inquiries into the multifaceted realms of knowledge and innovation.
 
Warm regards,
