“…Recently, a few studies focused on using social media in business education via various contexts and approaches (Alshuaibi et al, 2018;Bharucha, 2018;Khaola et al, 2022;López-Carril et al, 2022;Piotrowski, 2015;Young & Hinesly, 2014).

“…Differently, Khaola et al (2022) examined the influence of using social media on the academic performance of business students with student citizenship behavior via quantitative research, interestingly showing a positive and significant impact on students' academic performance by helping others using social media (student citizenship behavior) but not using social media solely. Alshuaibi et al (2018) simply explored the relationship between social media and academic performance via structural equation modeling, expressing the potential of social media in education to promote students' cognitive engagement in both classes and academic performances.…”

Social media use is widely accepted in higher education, connecting students' learning with daily life. Considering the potential of social media to revolutionize the whole spectrum of teaching and learning, this study examines social media usage of business school students of different majors and their perception of social media as learning aids through a quantitative online survey guided by the 5E instructional model, with 423 valid responses from students majoring in accounting, finance, and economics. Results indicated that respondents perceived social media as influential in helping them access study-related information. It facilitated comprehensive learning, information access, information sharing, and student communication with instructors. Significant differences in perceptions of using social media as aids for business learning were found among students of different demographics, including gender, education level, and residence, but not quite for different majors. While various studies have examined the use of social media in education, scant studies focus on business school students under the lens of the 5E instructional model, especially Asians.

“…When accommodated in a culturally novel environment filled with cultural conflicts and potential risks, individuals are supposed to manage cultural conflicts and unexpected situations ( Ward et al, 2011 ), which may trigger individuals’ negative emotions such as loneliness, depression, and psychological disorder ( Hu et al, 2020 ). Social media provides opportunities for individuals to search for desired information and establish and maintain social networks ( Hughes et al, 2012 ; Khaola et al, 2022 ). In this vein, social media is closely associated with individuals’ international exposure by serving to develop their cultural intelligence and facilitate their working and living conveniences including online shopping experiences.…”

Social commerce has produced enormous economic benefits as well as challenges for organizations, individuals, and industries. However, social media usage does not necessarily generate users’ intention to purchase on social commerce websites. How social media usage influences users’ purchase intention on social commerce websites still deserves more scholarly attention and this seems particularly important when social commerce transcends borders and countries. Taking an interdisciplinary perspective, the current study adopted a survey research method and identified the roles of social media usage in arousing users’ purchase intention on social commerce websites in a culturally diversified environment. The data was collected from 2,058 international students coming from 135 countries and was analyzed using MPLUS based structural equation modeling. The research unveils the pathway whereby social media usage serves to generate users’ purchase intention on social commerce websites. Importantly, users’ cultural intelligence has been found to play a significant role mediating the effects of social media usage on users’ intention. Further, cultural distance was found to attenuate the effects of social media usage on cultural intelligence. Based on the research findings, the study suggests that social commerce practitioners should be fully aware of the enabling roles of social media and cultural intelligence as well as the deterring role of cultural distance when arousing customers’ purchasing intention in cross-cultural business operations. Any measures facilitated by social media usage to improve international consumers’ cultural intelligence and mitigate the negative effects of cultural distance are supposed to be effective to enhance their purchasing intention. Accordingly, the study confirms the mutually melt and integrative relationships between information technology advancement and business prosperity in cross-cultural environment, which eventually contribute to sustainable development of society.

“…Due to the recent conflict, which sadly has a global impact (Buckley, 2022) not only on humanitarian emergencies, on the targeted country, but also on economic levels with larger (Khaola, 2022) international influence. With rare exceptions, almost all nations have interconnected economies that rely on raw materials, commodities, financial services, finite products, technology, and expertise supplied by other countries.…”

Due to the latest war, that unfortunately has a worldwide impact not only on humanitarian emergency, on the attacked country, but as well as at the economic level with greater international influence. Almost all countries, with very few exceptions, have interdependent economies and rely mainly on raw materials, goods, financial services, finite products, technology, know-how that are supplied by other states. We live in a Global World, where friendship, stewardship, understanding, mutual respect and the protection of humans’ life must prevail both for very few “blessed”, but also for all the inhabitants of the Earth. The recovery after the CoVid-19 pandemic is not complete, as the actual pandemic was not totally wiped out; many countries still need time to restore their Gross National Income, as a result, different economic sectors were likewise affected by medical emergency and restrictions. Innumerable multinational companies decided, owing to the latest war against Ukraine, to cease, suspend and even withdraw their activities, production and even brands from the aggressive country. In this article, we want to discover if appealing to this kind of measures has increased their brand image among actual and potential customers. The findings are quite intriguing.
