This research investigates the efficacy of public relations (PR) in shaping an organisations corporate image, focusing on Zambia Electricity Supply Corporation Limited (ZESCO), a critical public power utility company in Zambia. Despite ZESCOs pivotal role in generating, transmitting, distributing, and supplying electricity, it faces significant challenges in meeting demand, managing loads, and addressing stakeholder concerns, resulting in a PR crisis threatening its brand reputation. The study objective is to assess public perception of ZESCO and its impact on corporate image, evaluate how ZESCO employs PR to build its image, critically analyse the effectiveness of PR activities, and propose a sustainable PR model for enhancing corporate image. Adopting a positivist paradigm, the research viewed reality as objective and measurable through empirical methods, while the interpretivist paradigm was also incorporated to ensure a balanced view of findings. The positivist approach was supported using quantitative data and systematic analysis to evaluate PR effectiveness at ZESCO. The study targeted about 380 employees from ZESCOs headquarters in Lusaka, with 195 as the ultimate sample size, using Taro Yamanes formulae. Random and purposive sampling techniques were used. Data collection combined quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews, providing a comprehensive view of PR performance. Public perception of ZESCOs PR efforts was slightly above average, with 46.7% of respondents agreeing that PR was good, but 40% expressed disagreement, highlighting room for improvement. Respondents largely felt that ZESCOs PR activities were good (60%), although 13.3% rated them as poor, and 20% considered them very good. Despite the positive views, 80% agreed that the PR activities were professional, though improvements in resources, training, and technology were necessary to achieve an ideal standard.The study revealed that while 80% of respondents felt the PR activities were well-implemented, 13.3% believed the efforts were poor, indicating that stakeholder expectations were not fully met. Stakeholder engagement was rated "good" by 66.7% of respondents, suggesting that although efforts were in place, there was significant room for improvement in engaging stakeholders effectively. A large portion (93.3%) of respondents recognised that ZESCOs PR efforts faced challenges, including frequent power outages, misinformation, infrastructure issues, and communication barriers during crises such as load shedding. The study concluded that ZESCOs PR environment was not conducive to optimal performance, underscoring the need for improved PR structures and management support. There was strong support for improving ZESCOs PR, with 73.3% of respondents agreeing that PR efforts needed significant enhancement. This highlights the need for a more robust and adaptable PR model to address existing gaps. Furthermore, 93.3% of respondents acknowledged the potential to enhance ZESCOs image through strategic PR, indicating that such a model could significantly improve its corporate image. These results indicated that while PR was perceived as slightly above average, substantial room for improvement existed. The findings further indicated the ineffectiveness of PR activities. The study concluded that ZESCOs PR environment was not conducive to optimal performance, highlighting the need for improved PR structures and management support. Recommendations include enhancing PR support through increased resources and training, separating PR from Marketing and Corporate Affairs to reduce conflicts, and advocating for professional reforms. Policy implications stress the importance of investing in PR to address stakeholder concerns and improve overall service quality. By implementing these recommendations, ZESCO could significantly enhance its PR effectiveness, bolster its corporate image, and better manage operational challenges. This research underscores the critical role of a robust PR strategy in shaping corporate image and stakeholder relations, offering actionable insights for ZESCO to improve its PR practices and organisational outcomes.

Youth unemployment in Palestine remains one of the most significant socio-economic challenges, with a disproportionate impact on young graduates. Despite a large pool of educated youth, the labor market struggles to absorb them, primarily due to a mismatch between academic training and market needs, limited job opportunities, and socio-political barriers. This paper explores the key challenges Palestinian youth face in entering the workforce, emphasizing the roles of education, underemployment, and the impact of political instability. Additionally, it examines the potential of entrepreneurship as a solution to youth unemployment, focusing on the obstacles young Palestinians face in establishing businesses, such as limited access to finance, regulatory challenges, and inadequate support ecosystems. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis using summary statistics and regression analysis with qualitative insights from literature reviews and case studies. Statistical measures such as mean, median, and standard deviation were used to assess unemployment rates, and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression was applied to explore the impact of education, access to finance, and region on youth unemployment. The study also incorporates case studies and a literature review to examine the role of innovation, particularly through digital and social entrepreneurship, in addressing these barriers. Based on the findings, the paper proposes comprehensive policy reforms, including aligning education with market demands, simplifying regulatory frameworks, and increasing access to financial resources. By fostering an entrepreneurial culture, Palestine can unlock the potential of its youth, promoting long-term economic development and stability.

The celebrity status accorded to CEOs by leading business media describes executives who successfully lead high-performing firms (Hayward et al., 2004; Wade et al., 2006). This status includes high public attention and positive emotional responses from stakeholders, and is reinforced by the media (Rindova et al., 2006). Celebrity CEOs are considered an intangible asset that provides benefits such as good corporate prospects, investor confidence, attraction of quality employees, and improved stock market performance (Fanelli & Grasselli, 2006; Fombrun, 1996). Although this status provides personal benefits to the CEO, such as higher compensation and good job prospects, failure to maintain outstanding performance may result in a rapid loss of these benefits. Celebrity CEOs tend to manage stakeholder impressions to maintain their status and future benefits. Firm value plays a crucial role in determining the companys stock price as well as the level of investor satisfaction. Noerirawan (2012) defines firm value as the condition achieved by the company as a result of its business performance and strategy, which not only shows the companys performance but also its future prospects.

This study investigates the joint impact of an investment strategy that integrates gross profitability and the 52-week high price indicator within the context of the Indian stock market. This study uses an empirical approach commonly found in asset pricing literature. The analysis incorporates data from October 2002 to September 2022. Firms are classified into tercile portfolios according to their profitability and momentum metrics, and their overall performance is assessed using an independent double-sorting methodology. The empirical analysis presents results for both value-weighted and equally weighted portfolio returns. A combined long-short strategy yields an equally weighted monthly return of 0.32%, accompanied by a corresponding Fama-French alpha of 1.08%. The equally weighted return is approximately 1.79 times greater than that of the standalone profitability strategy and nearly equivalent to that of the standalone 52-week high-momentum strategy. This highlights the enhanced performance of the combined approach relative to the individual strategies, particularly in terms of risk-adjusted returns. In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to multifactor investment strategies. This study demonstrates that integrating two significant factors, profitability and momentum, enhances portfolio performance. The first study to investigate the synergistic effects of combining profitability and momentum, offers empirical evidence supporting the superior outcomes of such a strategy. However, this area remains underexplored, particularly in the context of the Indian market.

This paper aims to identify the most appropriate General anti-avoidance rule (GAAR) to be adopted by Indonesia. It looks into the Indonesian legal framework, compares the GAARs in other countries, and discusses various jurisprudential decisions to measure the effectiveness of the GAARs of other jurisdictions. In doing so, this paper simultaneously contributes to academic literature and Indonesian taxation policy by offering technical recommendations to Indonesias government to promote and support the fairness and integrity of its tax system and discourage the abuse of avoidance measures by its taxpayers. After a thorough review of Indonesias tax laws and rules, it is shown that the current specific anti-avoidance rules (SAARs) and the limited application of the substance-over-form principle are inadequate in addressing the rampant use of tax avoidance practices of Indonesian taxpayers. To bridge this gap, a statutory GAAR primarily applicable to corporate taxpayers is proposed. The proposal adopts the pre-determination of whether a scheme falls within the purview of GAAR, a lower GAAR threshold for transactions involving corporate taxpayers, and the institution of an independent GAAR panel.
