http://ijaems.com/ Open Access international Journal to publish research paper en-us November This study analyzes the dimensions of the vitality of development for banking systems. Fuzzy synthetic decisions are used to construct and evaluate a vitality of training, assigning, and development index to offer banks new perspectives and methods of assessment. In this study, we analyze the vitality index for the human resources development of the banking system. Xie et al. (2021) think that with the rapid development and significant successfulness of various deep learning techniques in artificial intelligence (AI), AI has led to a significant evolution in both academic and industrial fields. For the uncertainty, the factor weight for the vitality index will be determined by using the fuzzy Delphi method (FDM). Through the process of fuzzy synthetic decision (FSD), the model calculated the relative importance for each dimension of the mean factor. In this empirical study of commercial banks, the priority ranks for the five dimensions are as follows: Efficiency, Leadership, Business Culture, Talents and Strategy. http://ijaems.com/detail/effectiveness-of-ai-education-from-vitality-an-example-of-banking-management-in-taiwan/ Sung-Yi Hsieh, Hsiao-Chi Ling, Chiao Chao, Ruei-Yuan Wang http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/1IJAEMS-11120242-Effectiveness.pdf This study intended to analyze the promotional mix of private schools in Zaragoza, Nueva Ecija, regarding marketing communication and the utilization of promotional tools to increase the number of enrollees. It also aims to create a strategic plan based on the results of this study. The study found that all of the participating schools believe that marketing is crucial to drawing in new students and improving their standing as an institution. Due to its cost-effectiveness and reach, social media has become the most popular instrument for audience interaction. However, the amount of money that schools have available for other promotional items, such printed ads, can restrict the extent of their advertising. In order to provide a varied and effective promotional strategy, future plans should concentrate on a balanced budget that supports both digital and traditional media. Growth and competitive positioning still depend on these strategies' ongoing innovation. http://ijaems.com/detail/analysis-of-the-promotional-strategies-of-private-schools-in-zaragoza-nueva-ecija/ Erickson L.

With the trend of internationalization, most banks hope to use ERP systems to eliminate the shortcomings of bank operation processes, such as the waste of repeated manpower, duplication of information or delays in transmission, etc., and reduce efficiency. Improve to the highest level and minimize waste. With the openness of Taiwan’s government financial policy, the banks here are becoming more liberalized and internationalized. Taiwan is becoming a competitive financial market since more new commercial banks have been set up in Taiwan. So, it is important for a bank to dispatch good executives to overseas branch. In this paper, we analyze what kinds of characteristics and traits a bank's manager in overseas branch should have by using Fuzzy Delphi Method. The purposes of the research are 1) to analyze what kinds of characteristics and traits a bank's manager in overseas branch should have, 2) to compare the difference of manager in overseas branch in Japan and HongKong by using Wilcoxon rank sum test, 3) to set up the dispatch criteria with the AI and fuzzy Delphi method. Through the examination of FDM, a fuzzy referent model framework for the bank’s dispatch in overseas branch is built. It is anticipated that the fuzzy framework will provide a more objective means for the dispatch of appropriate personnel for overseas branches. http://ijaems.com/detail/using-fuzzy-ai-delphi-method-for-dispatching-erp-executives-of-banks/ Sung-Yi Hsieh, Hsiao-Chi Ling, Chiao Chao http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/4IJAEMS-11120241-Using.pdf Artificial Intelligence (AI), a groundbreaking field of computer science, has surged in prominence, revolutionizing the way machines process information and make decisions.

Traditional models often overlook the impact of indirect contagion and the evolving topology of financial networks, limiting their effectiveness in capturing real-world propagation dynamics. This study develops a comprehensive modeling framework grounded in complex network theory and epidemic dynamics to analyze risk transmission in stock markets. First, a dual-layer contagion model is proposed to differentiate the risk diffusion mechanisms between high- and low-risk entities, with spillover effects quantified via Conditional Value at Risk (CoVaR). Second, a core-periphery SIRS model is introduced, accounting for indirect contagion through network neighbors, guided by mutual information entropy. Third, simulations of various initial infection scenarios and intervention strategies reveal that early containment of central nodes significantly suppresses the scope of contagion. Empirical validation using CSI 300 data confirms the models’ practical relevance. The findings offer strategic insights for financial regulators and market participants in mitigating systemic risks and enhancing market resilience. http://ijaems.com/detail/modeling-stock-market-risk-contagion-via-complex-networks-a-multilayer-framework-and-strategic-interventions/ Qiming Shi, Zhuoming Pan, Liya Sun http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/20IJAEMS-10620241-Modeling.pdf
