While the use of social media influencers (SMIs) by brands is becoming more widespread, the academic literature about SMI communication is still scarce.

The findings show that the "rise-fall" emotional arc was the most common story arc used by SMIs. In addition, SMIs frequently used the first-person perspective and featured themselves as the protagonists in their stories. Last, SMIs …

The Effect Of Green Announcements On Stock Returns Of New Zealand Listed Companies, David K. Ding
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of corporate green announcements on the stock performance of listed companies in New Zealand.

Our results are consistent with the view that to be green is costly, especially so in a developed economy where the cost of doing business is high. Our findings …

Fake news, which includes both disinformation and misinformation, has been a challenge for many countries in the last few years.

This study will propose a comprehensive taxonomy to tackle fake news, disinformation, and misinformation and assess the level …
