To this end, we consider a measure of eco-innovativeness that counts different types of innovations with environmental benefits that enterprises have undertaken. Due to the count nature of our focal variable and to the large presence of zeros, we estimate a zero-inflated negative binomial model. Drawing upon a consolidated framework of drivers, including 'technology push', 'regulatory push-pull' and 'firm-specific' factors, this work gives an overview of the main eco-innovation drivers and contributes to enlarge the geographical scope of the debate on eco-innovation drivers. Findings highlight how the different regulatory contexts and different levels of competitiveness of the market affect the firms' eco-innovation behaviour in the three countries and suggest important implications for the design of a smart policy mix supporting eco-innovation.

An integrated conceptual framework is developed and empirically tested using survey data from 158 telecommunication companies and analysed using partial least square structural equation modelling. This study reveals that environmental turbulence significantly and positively influences dynamic capabilities and organisational resilience. Based on the path analysis result, the relationship between environmental turbulence and business sustainability is fully mediated by both dynamic capabilities and organisational resilience. The study has expanded the determinants of organisational resilience in the context of a pandemic as part of environmental turbulence. This study finally shows that dynamic capabilities and organisational resilience are key determinants to business sustainability in the turbulent business environment such as the COVID-19 pandemic to telecom companies. Many lessons can be learned by the telecom companies due to this pandemic situation including business model alignment as a consequence of responding to environmental turbulences. Journal: Int.

Several studies examined the impact of adopting CE on the organisation performance in the private sector. However, it is noted that insufficient studies investigated thoroughly entrepreneurship in the public sector and its reflections on IP under the critical impact of knowledge sharing. A quantitative study was held by a validated questionnaire on the Jordanian Social Security Corporation. The structural equation modelling technique is adopted to analyse the purposeful sample of 300 valid surveys. The outcomes showed that the research model variables explained 72.8% of the variance of the IP variable. Also, it confirmed the significant positive relationship between CE and IP and the significant positive relationship between organisational support factors and CE. Moreover, these results contribute to the existing body of knowledge on CE by linking it to IP in public organisations. Journal: Int.

The procedure of analysis started with the distribution of the structured questionnaire. We have distributed 200 questionnaires among human resource (HR) professionals working in 50 healthcare sector organisations. Only 120 participants were used for data analysis by using Smart PLS. We have found a significant relationship between green HRM and sustainable organisational growth (SOG). Similarly, the relationship between green HRM and team building was found to be significant. Whereas the relationship between team building and SOG is not found significant in our analysis. It is simply concluded that there is no mediating role for team building between green HRM and SOG.

However, limited research has addressed public involvement during the privatisation of essential services within developing countries. Based on a case study research method in the context of Ghana, this paper highlights how ineffective consultation and a lack of deliberative engagement during water privatisation led to public protests and limited benefits for service users. The paper extends existing debates by showing how political dynamics, social status, and power can impact the modes and outcomes of privatisation within developing countries. The conclusions call for a more nuanced understanding and better use of deliberative processes during privatisation within developing country contexts. Journal: Int.

Considerations about the triple bottom line of ethical consumption, i.e., environmental, social and animal welfare are included into their shopping behaviour. However, academics have so far focused on the research areas of ecology and human rights, while animal welfare has been largely ignored. Hence, this study focuses on analysing the impact of animal welfare concern using the theory of planned behaviour (TPB). Our findings of an empirical study (n = 186) in Germany show that the best predictors of attitude towards vegan personal care products are moral obligation, animal welfare concern and environmental concern. Perceived behavioural control, self-identity, health consciousness and appearance consciousness are not confirmed as predictors. The method of this study has contributed significantly to research: firstly, it is the first empirical study of vegan personal care products using the TPB; secondly, it includes a newly developed scale of animal welfare concern.

This work will provide new evidence of innovative behaviour in a developing country. Few studies jointly use various barriers to predict innovative behaviour and innovation capacity, and some criteria for grouping the barriers are missing. Based on this consideration, a conceptual framework is suggested that relates the following: 1) obstacles associated with information and internal capabilities; 2) risk obstacles; 3) obstacles in the business environment as independent variables and three types of innovation capabilities; 4) product innovativeness; 5) process innovativeness; 6) market innovativeness as dependent variables. The analysis used a second-generation structural equation method (PLS-SEM). The results prove that with the awareness of obstacles, Colombian tourism companies may strategically generate innovation capabilities. Journal: Int.

The aim of this study is to conduct a predictive study of personality variables that may influence entrepreneurial orientation. To do so, we use the following indicators: big five personality, hardiness, self-esteem, self-efficacy, impulsivity, pro-activeness, curiosity, internal locus control, optimism and pessimism. Participants in the study were 883 workers selected through non-probabilistic sampling and the data collected were processed with the SPSS 25.0 program. Our results determine the predictive capacity of personality variables, curiosity, and optimism in relation to EO. We conclude that OE can be predicted through the variables openness to experience, proactivity, curiosity-I, optimism and internal locus of control that explain greater variance when predicting entrepreneurial behaviour. This study contributes to wider knowledge of entrepreneurial orientation and the empowerment of variables that influence it. Journal: Int.

Abstract: I introduced the punctuated equilibrium theory to account for the fast emergence of new business 'species' in the internet era. The commercial use of the internet altered the industrial environment with new challenges and opportunities, constituting a phase of environmental punctuation. This study examined how established firms respond strategically to such an environment by reorienting to the exploration of new possibilities. I collected data by a content analysis approach using 95 randomly sampled firms during the period of 1998-2001. The results from MANOVA suggested the strategic differences between firms from industries with or without 'environmental punctuation'. Firms that must cope with environmental punctuation, initiate strategic actions more frequently, and their strategic actions are more novel with wider breadth. This study enriches the understanding of the forms and contexts of organisational exploratory learning. Environmental punctuation is envisioned as the suitable context for strategic exploration.

Formal mechanisms protect this appropriability, such as patents or intellectual property (IP) rights. But not all countries respect IP rights and this phenomenon has increased in a complex way. There has been an academic interest in studying the trends regarding IP criminal activities. This study aims to identify the authors, universities and regions that publish the most in IP crime research worldwide. Using the Web of Science database, we analysed 589 articles published between 1991 and 2020 on the topic. The results indicate that approximately 75% of scientific production on IP Crime was written in the last decade, which is of great concern nowadays. The most influential authors come from the USA. This economy has stood out making progress in the establishment of formal mechanisms for the appropriation of innovation as a way to encourage more firms and innovators to develop new productive activities. Different developed economies, in Europe and Asia, also showed that academics study how markets advance through the protection of IP rights, but their studies have different focuses. Journal: Int.

Along with PCE and EK, the theory of consumption values is applied in this study. Data have been collected through a structured questionnaire mall intercept survey from 396 respondents. Collected data have been analysed by Smart PLS software for partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) analysis. The findings reveal that PCE mediates the relationship between functional value and GPB; social value and GPB; and epistemic value and GPB. The findings also support the moderating effect of EK in the relationship between PCE and GPB. The study generates some insightful findings from the actual buyers which might be of great importance for the academicians, policy makers and businesses. Moreover, it expands the theory of consumption values with some new additions. Journal: Int.

The article is based on a systematic literature review, developed according to the PRISMA protocol to ensure scientific rigour within the data search, selection, analysis, and interpretation process. The findings highlight that the research on environmental accounting in the public sector is still limited, albeit showing an increasing trend. Future research might deepen the link between the implementation of environmental accounting practices and the economic-financial performance of public companies. The limits of the study have a methodological nature, being linked to the adoption of the systematic literature review: brief time span, restrained number of evidence, inclusions of only journal articles, and absence of the risk of bias assessment. The article contributes to the enrichment and updating of the state of the art given that to date there are no studies that carry out a systematic literature review on the topic of environmental accounting in the public sector.

The data were collected from 234 employees working in the hospitality sector of Punjab, Pakistan. Partial least square-structural equation modelling was performed for analysis. The analytical findings revealed the significant positive effect of CSR culture and top management support on green relational capital and social sustainability. This research is novel as meagre research is found on social sustainability, particularly concerning green relational capital. Moreover, this study contributes to the existing literature on sustainability by exploring the influence mechanism between green relational capital and social sustainability via incorporating two underexplored but highly relevant constructs, i.e., CSR culture and top management support.

ICT can truly be considered as a general-purpose technology because of its presence in almost every domain of human lives and for enabling the digital economy (DE) to foster. However, participation in this DE is often dependent upon the financial literacy (FL) and digital literacy (DL) levels of the individuals. In this context, the present study seeks to evaluate the role of both FL and DL in determining participation in DE vis-à-vis digital transaction behaviour (DTB) amongst the post graduate students of the University of Burdwan. Analysis of the primary data with appropriate statistical methods suggested low to medium level of DL and FL amongst the respondents. The findings of the study unequivocally signalled that both FL and DL were instrumental in stimulating DTB of the respondents. Journal: Int.

Inside this context, our work tries to assess whether or not the dynamic capabilities (DC) of the SMEs positively influence their innovation capacity. The field study was conducted with the population of SMEs located in the city of Machala (Ecuador) and belonging to the trade sector, the sample comprising 109 companies. Our findings in this study show that not every dynamic capability is equally relevant in the Machala-based SMEs, given that while absorptive capacity and learning capacity have a positive and significant effect on innovation, adaptive capacity does not have a significant impact on the innovation processes of the firms under study.

A qualitative case study with semi-structured interviews was conducted at one multinational corporation to gain insights into its product customisation strategy. The findings demonstrate how internationalisation can impact product customisation and identify four factors in the customisation process: culture, internationalisation, knowledge transfer, and product strategy. Tailored marketing strategies that influenced the international product customisation strategy (IPCS) were used. This study augmented on our understanding of how product customisation impacts internationalisation and vice versa, revealing the importance of knowledge transfer in IPCS and its growing impact due to digitalisation. It also shows how both B2B marketing and a tailored marketing strategy are overarching themes in international product customisation, making it one of few studies to recognise the relevance of omnichannel strategy in the B2B market segment.

There is a dearth of studies concerning the underlying process and contingencies affecting the CSR activities of employees. We posited that employees' perception of CSR triggers the authorities to be fair in all activities, which positively affects employees' level of satisfaction. Relying on social exchange and heuristic fairness theories, this study investigates the mediating role of supervisor fairness among CSR and job satisfaction and moderation of gratitude. We empirically examine the relationships by collecting data from the employees of the banking sector of Pakistan. The result reveals that the link between CSR and job satisfaction is mediated by supervisor fairness and moderated by gratitude. This study provides implications for both academicians and practitioners. Theoretically, it contributes to the literature of micro-CSR by providing a deep lens on how and in what ways CSR influences employees' behaviour at the workplace. Journal: Int.

Reputation management becomes a key resource that, through a structured marketing planning, captures a purpose of interaction of the companies' marketing capabilities, getting them to develop conscious actions in line with the market preferences. Thus, it is intended to understand the role of planning in marketing capabilities, exploring the direct and indirect effects of the several variables presented and the mediating effect of planning between brands' reputation and their marketing capabilities. The conceptual model was tested using PLS-SEM and survey data from 180 SMEs. The results concerning the direct effects and the mediating effect of planning in the marketing capabilities complement the existing research. Journal: Int.

Green human resource management (GHRM) practices serve to translate strategy into performance outcomes. The present study focuses on the relationship between proactive environmental strategy (PES) and environmental performance (EP) with GHRM as the mediator. Literature reveals that though research attention has been directed towards the adoption of proactive environmental strategy, studies focusing on the mediating role of GHRM in the relationship between PES and EP are lacking. The present study aims to fill this gap. Data was collected through a questionnaire survey conducted among the employees of the selected firms. The total sample consisted of 290 executives. Results from structural equation modelling suggested that PES had a positive effect on EP with GHRM partially mediating this relationship. Managerial implications of the study are discussed.

This present study applied a quantitative design and surveyed questionnaires to the hotel. A total of 500 questionnaires were distributed and 389 questionnaires were received as valid responses from the hotel customers. The partial least square-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used for hypothesis testing as a unique tool for analysis. The results of the study identified that CEI, PF, and OD significantly impact FQ and CEB, and finally, FQ significantly impacts CEB. The salient research outcomes may help the hotel industry to identify the role of CEB as an organisational goal and a success factor. The role of customer engagement represents a new understanding and an insight into the hotel and customer relationships. Journal: Int.

Title: The interaction between leading drugs and pharmacy-owned labels in Chile Abstract: In this paper, a data panel technique to estimate a model of relative prices between large pharmacy-owned drugs and leading drugs was used. Under the assumption that dominant firm market share increases by 10%, and the other 2 (smaller ones) loss 5%, the relative prices diminish by -0.043%. The market size impacts positively (18.5%) the relative prices, implying that a larger market size the entry of more brands is encouraged, and then more competition and lower prices will be observed. This impacts the owned-brand price, which means that the leading drug price has a high degree of rigidity. For the drug specific effect - measures the drug that is targeted, the original or the leading generic - to commercialise its own brand, if the pharmacy targets the leading generic the variation of relative price between the own-brand drug and leading generic is 0.5267; which means that the owned-brand drug margin increases.
