  • Disruptive shocks in global agri-food value chains

    Open AccessMuhammad Umar, Louise Manning et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2026

    Agri-food value chains (AFVCs) are exposed to compound, complex climatic, geopolitical, and market shocks, yet prevailing resilience frameworks treat the impact of these disruptions as linear, sector-specific, and primarily from a technical perspective. This paper challenges such assumptions through a comparative analysis of twelve disruptive shocks and the associated impact trajectories affecting diverse AFVCs. Drawing on available mixed qualita…

  • Does Biodiversity Disclosure Influence Firm Value

    Open AccessNazrat Mirza, Dima Jamali et al.ARTICLEBusiness Strategy and the…2026

    The deterioration of biodiversity has become a material financial concern, influencing firm productivity and long‐term value. This study examines the link between biodiversity disclosure and firm value using a sample of firms in the European Union. A composite biodiversity disclosure score is developed to capture the scope and quality of reporting across biodiversity, water, supply chain, pollution, and waste. We employ panel data from 2015 to 20…

  • How Do Uncertainties Reshape Supply Chain Efficiency? In an Era of Turbulence

    Open AccessKaihua Wang, C P Wang et al.ARTICLEBusiness Strategy and the…2026

    The supply chain is becoming less efficient because of various uncertainties. Because the majority of earlier studies have examined only individual uncertainty, determining the overall impact is challenging; earlier research did not examine how different uncertainties interact and share information. Therefore, in this paper, an analytical framework that integrates multiple dimensions of uncertainty is constructed, and the following hypothesis is …

  • Circular Economy Transition

    This study is to examine the resources and capabilities that facilitate the circular economy practices (CIECs) in manufacturing firms in Malaysia. It explores the impact of Industry 4.0 (IR4.0) on CIEC and examines the role of open innovation (OPIN) and firms' absorptive capacity (FACA). The data were collected from 231 managers at multi‐levels from large‐scale manufacturing firms across 10 different sectors in Malaysia. Our findings from PLS‐SEM…

  • Does CEO Resilience Drive Green Innovation?

    Open AccessUmair Bin Yousaf, Imran Yousaf et al.ARTICLEBusiness Strategy and the…2026

    We investigate whether and how CEO resilience relates to green innovation. Drawing on upper echelons and imprinting theories, we argue that resilience‐related experiences shape executives' strategic decisions and commitment to environmental innovation. Using a panel of Chinese listed firms from 2008 to 2021, we measure CEO resilience through two hand‐collected indicators: prior experience in multiple executive roles and a military or defense back…

  • Balancing Growth and Sustainability

    Open AccessYuxuan Du, Muhammad Umar et al.ARTICLESustainable Development2026

    Given the extensive environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) research, limited attention has been given to investigate technological innovation (TI), foreign direct investment (FDI), intellectual capital, and governance quality within developing economies like Malaysia. Besides, the synergistic short‐ and long‐run environmental effects of these dimensions remain underexplored, limiting policy insights to mitigate CO 2 emissions sustainably. Therefore, t…

  • Skilled for Whom? Immigration Policy, Racial Capitalism, and the Reproduction of Inequality in Britain

    Open AccessMuhammad Abdul Aziz, Muhammad Umar et al.ARTICLEBritish Journal of Sociology2026References: 49

    This paper examines the UK's 2025 Immigration White Paper as a critical site for understanding how immigration policy functions as an instrument of racial capitalism. Drawing on Critical Race Theory, the theory of social reproduction, and intersectionality, it interrogates how the state's construction of the ‘skilled migrant’ operates as a racially coded category that privileges whiteness, anglocentric credentials, and neoliberal norms of value. …

  • Financial accessibility and environmental performance

    Open AccessShanwu Tian, Hassan Hassan et al.ARTICLEHumanities and Social Sciences…2025

    Recent international climate agreements, including COP28, have emphasized the necessity of financial reforms to accelerate renewable energy adoption for achieving net-zero carbon targets. While existing research extensively examines renewable energy’s role in climate change mitigation, a significant challenge persists in the limited availability of financial resources, constraining the widespread adoption of sustainable energy solutions. This stu…

  • Disaggregated Liquidity Response to Climate Risk

    Open AccessWayne Yu, Wanzhen Yu et al.ARTICLESAGE Open2025

    While financial institutions grapple with mounting climate risks, their impact reverberates differently across the multifaceted dimensions of bank liquidity. Using a panel dataset of 166 countries (1999–2021) and employing two-stage instrumental variable least squares with Driscoll-Kraay standard errors, we examine how climate risk affects asset, funding, market, and systematic liquidity. Drawing upon precautionary liquidity hoarding and flight-t…

  • Guiding sustainable growth

    Amidst growing calls for environmentally sustainable practices, this study delves into the nuanced relationship between CEO trustworthiness, managerial ability, and green innovation. Departing from surface‐level examinations, we propose that managerial ability serves as the link between CEO trustworthiness and green innovation initiatives. Moreover, we contend that the influence of CEO trustworthiness on managerial ability is accentuated under sp…
