“…Reputation is often considered a creditable signalling mechanism (Miller and del Carmen Triana, 2009;Shahid et al, 2021), offering an ex ante signal to the principals of the robustness and quality of the agent's provision (Saeedi, 2019). It can be attained through several means, such as certification (Gugerty, 2009) as in the case of fairtrade products (De Pelsmacker et al, 2005) and market communication (Nyagadza et al, 2021), but also through consistent delivery of targets over a substantive period (Herbig et al, 1994), as well as other locational, place-based factors (Samuel et al, 2022).…”

PurposeLiterature on the relationship between social performance and economic performance of social enterprises has long been inconclusive. This paper aims to investigate whether and, if so, how social performance contributes to economic performance of social enterprises. Specifically, drawing from the resource-based view and signalling theory, the study examines how the development of reputation, which enables social enterprises to signal the enterprises' stakeholders' commitment towards social causes, mediates the relationship between the two.Design/methodology/approachEmploying a quantitative research design, data were collected from a sample of 164 social enterprises in the UK and analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM).FindingsThe results illustrate that whilst the direct relationship between social and economic performance is inconclusive, social performance contributes indirectly to improve economic performance through improving social enterprise reputation.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, this study is the first of this kind in the context of social enterprises which sheds light on the long-standing conflicting literature on the relationship between the dual objectives (i.e. social and economic) by providing reputation as the mediating variable.

“…One of the principal reasons why trust and reputation are important is their impact on the economic aspects of marketplaces. On clearnet marketplaces, it is well established that marketplaces that use reputation systems have higher quality sellers, more competitive prices, and higher seller profits (Saeedi, 2019). On these platforms, a seller's reputation has a positive impact on the price of goods (Diekmann et al., 2014; Fan et al., 2016; Houser & Wooders, 2006).…”

Research summaryDarknet marketplaces (DNMs) are global digital marketplaces used primarily to buy and sell illicit drugs online. High rates of adulterated substances have contributed to the creation of harm reduction policies by DNM administrators to address growing rates of overdose worldwide. This paper explores the extent to which harm reduction occurs in buyer feedback of Adderall and Oxycodone purchased on AlphaBay and how these comments are impacted by AlphaBay's administrator‐led “harm reduction” policy. This study finds that harm reduction strategies are present in buyer feedback of Oxycodone and Adderall pills, but AlphaBay's policy has very little impact on the preexisting harm reduction communication within buyer feedback.Policy implicationsInternational policy proposals have placed emphasis on addressing the overdose crisis through harm reduction programs that provide people who use drugs with the necessary services and resources to buy and use drugs safely. There have been very few proposals that have considered how these programs can address the unique setting of buying and using drugs purchased on DNMs. Communication occurring among DNM buyers reveals how harm reduction strategies are being employed by users purchasing drugs from DNMs. In particular, these findings offer insight into the shared experiences of drug buyers in anonymous settings and the strategies they are using to protect one another from overdose and other unwanted side effects often caused by adulterated substances. Understanding these strategies highlights the ways in which street‐based harm reduction programs can extend their services to online environments to assist buyers with making safe and informed decisions when using substances purchased online.

Pertumbuhan pelaku e-commerce di Indonesia mengalami peningkatan tujuh belas persen, dengan jumlah seluruh usaha e-commerce sebanyak 26,2 juta unit dalam sepuluh tahun. Banyaknya pelaku e-commerce ini didominasi oleh e-marketplace. E-marketplace sendiri mengalami persaingan yang cukup ketat. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa Tokopedia dan Shopee merupakan e-marketplace yang memiliki rata-rata menit per akses dan jumlah pengunjung yang tinggi diantara e-marketplace lain. E-marketplace sebagai wadah yang mempertemukan antara penjual dan pembeli, semestinya mempertimbangkan faktor yang membuat penjual dan pembeli bertahan, namun penelitian dari perspektif penjual belum banyak dilakukan. Untuk itu, penelitian berbasis studi literatur ini dilakukan guna mendapatkan faktor dan indikator yang dapat menarik penjual untuk memasarkan produknya ke situs e-marketplace Tokopedia dan Shopee. Pengumpulan data menggunakan kuisioner dengan skala likert 1-4 kepada 300 responden. Hasil penelitian menemukan 5 faktor dengan 50 indikator yang dapat menarik penjual untuk memasarkan produknya ke situs e-marketplace Tokopedia dan Shopee. Yakni faktor kepercayaan penjual dengan 15 indikator, pembayaran dan pengiriman dengan 14 indikator, kualitas situs e-marketplace dengan 10 indikator, biaya dengan 7 indikator, dan nama baik produk dengan 4 indikator.
