Building Climate Risk Solutions Through Business Strategy
Amid escalating climate risks, firms face increasing pressure to convert sustainability commitments into capabilities that strengthen climate risk resilience (CRR), yet the mechanisms through which sustainability targets influence resilience remain insufficiently understood in emerging economies where institutional and technological conditions vary widely. Guided by dynamic capabilities theory and contingency theory, this study develops and tests…
Driving Sustainability Through Artificial Intelligence and Financial Innovation
How do firms' innovation capabilities shape the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI), financial innovation and environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance nexus? This study investigates this underexplored nexus using survey data from 267 Chinese firms, analysed with partial least squares–SEM and PROCESS models. Our results show that AI and financial innovation positively influence ESG performance, with green innovation and…
Do Corporate Strategies in Fintech and Green Finance Enhance ESG Performance? The Moderating Role of Government Policies
Despite the growing interest in ESG performance, limited research explores the mediating role of government policy in the relationship between Fintech, green finance and ESG outcomes. We address this gap by examining how Fintech and green finance influence ESG performance through government policies. We analysed panel data of banks in China and the United Kingdom from 2014 to 2024 using robust advanced regression estimates, such as Dynamic Common…
Do Big Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence Enhance Corporate Sustainability? The Moderating Roles of Regulation and Management Support
We examine the effects of big data analytics (BDA) and artificial intelligence (AI) on corporate sustainability performance, specifically investigating the influence of regulatory pressure and top management support. Utilizing hierarchical regression analysis on questionnaire data from 220 Chinese manufacturing firms, we find that both BDA and AI positively and significantly impact the corporate sustainability of manufacturing firms. Furthermore,…
ESG as a Strategic Pathway to Sustainable Competitive Advantage
This study investigates how board‐level strategic governance shapes environmental, social, and governance performance (ESGP), emphasizing the mediating role of responsible innovation and the moderating role of environmental governance. Drawing on panel data from 673 environmentally sensitive manufacturing firms in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) between 2013 and 2023, the analysis applies the two‐step …
Empowering Firms to Enhance Sustainable Supply Chain Strategies for Competitive Environmental Performance
Amid growing global pressure to reconcile industrial growth with environmental sustainability, the adoption of green supply chain strategies (GSCS) in manufacturing remains critically underexplored in emerging markets. Despite rising sustainability rhetoric, many firms still lack clear mechanisms to translate environmental ambitions into practice, and prior research has largely emphasized institutional pressures while underexamining firm‐level in…
Mechanisms of Intellectual Property Pledge Financing in Fostering Green Technological Innovation Among SRDI Enterprises
At the critical juncture of innovation-driven transformation, the inherent characteristics of “high specialization, high innovation, and light assets” among Specialized, Refined, Distinctive, and Innovative (SRDI) enterprises render their green technological innovation subject to a structural dilemma, namely, excessive internal capital consumption coupled with constrained access to external financing channels. The promulgation of the Intellectual…
Triple Bottom Line ( TBL ) Perspective on the Business–Environment–Performance Nexus in an Emerging Market Economy
Sustainability has become a defining challenge for firms in emerging economies, where pressures to address environmental and social concerns increasingly intersect with the need to remain financially competitive. Yet many organizations struggle to show whether sustainability disclosures create measurable business value, particularly in complex supply chain environments. This raises two central questions: To what extent do economic, social, and en…
Charting the Pathways to Cleaner and Responsible Consumption
This study assesses the conditional influence of Environmental Governance (EG), Responsible Innovation (RI), and Circular Economy Committees (CEC) on the nexus between Indigenous Directors (IDs) and Cleaner and Responsible Consumption (CRC) among manufacturing firms in the Belt and Road Initiative–Middle East and North Africa (BRI–MENA) region. Drawing on Institutional Theory and the Resource‐Based View (RBV), the study conceptualizes indigenous …
Advancing Sustainable Innovation for Sustainable Development Through ESG Integration, Sustainability Governance, and Regulatory Stringency
In pursuit of Agenda 2030, accelerating sustainable innovation is essential for balancing economic growth, environmental stewardship, and social equity. Yet in emerging economies, weak institutions and resource constraints often hinder the translation of sustainability commitments into measurable innovation outcomes. This study examines how ESG integration influences sustainable innovation in Sub‐Saharan Africa, emphasizing the mediating role of …
How to choose an organization pattern in the innovation of the complex product systems
In the innovation of the complex product systems (CoPS), the choice of organization patterns becomes the decision of whether innovation subjects can promote innovative development. Based on the dynamic capability theory, we take 184 firms participating in the Internet of Things (IoT) product system as a sample, and use fsQCA approach for the first time to explore conditional configurations of realizing the innovation of the CoPS, so as to provide…
Unmasking Sustainability Justice Performance to Achieve SDG 16 in Mena
In an era where sustainability is paramount, the role of corporate governance in promoting sustainability justice remains underexplored, particularly in emerging regions such as MENA. This study extends the literature on corporate governance and sustainability by examining the relationship between corporate governance mechanisms and sustainability justice performance (SJP) in MENA firms. Drawing on agency theory and normative ethics (consequentia…
Green Finance and Corporate Environmental Performance
Growing environmental degradation and climate change have intensified the global demand for firms to boost their ecological performance to minimize negative environmental consequences that reduce the quality of the environment. Green finance, which provides firms with the necessary financial capital to undertake environmental initiatives, becomes relevant in both developed and developing countries. Hence, this study investigates the impact of fir…
Investigating the impact of e-banking, employee job security, innovativeness, and productivity on organizational performance
The necessity of this study arises from the increasing adoption of e-banking and its potential impact on organizational performance, particularly in developing economies like South Africa. While technological innovation has been widely linked to improved business efficiency, most research has focused on developed countries, overlooking the unique challenges and opportunities faced by emerging markets. In South Africa, the banking sector plays a c…
An Introspective Analysis of Inclusive Growth in Africa, With an Eminence on the Influence of Governance and Financial Development Interaction
The study considered the relationship between the interaction of financial development with all six distinct governance indicators from the world development indicators, as well as a combination of them, and inclusive growth in 48 African economies from 2000 to 2019. The countries were classified into low-income countries and middle-income countries. The models were then estimated with Panel Quantile Regression with Fixed Effects estimations, and…
Liquidity and Firms' Financial Performance Nexus
The aim of this research was to establish the nexus between liquidity and the viability of quoted non-financial establishments in Ghana. Panel data deduced from the published annual reports of 15 entities for the period 2008 to 2017 was employed for the study. Preliminarily, cross-sectional reliance, unit root, serial correlation, heteroscedasticity, co-integration, and causality tests were respectively performed. Our findings established that th…
