Title: Organisational competences in Services 4.0: a systematic review of the literature
Abstract:
The objective of this paper is to identify which organisational competences are required within the services sector based on the new market parameters brought about by Industry 4.0. To this end, a <i>Systematic Literature Review</i> was conducted involving three stages known as planning, execution and analysis, allowing for a mixed sequential exploratory review in a quantitative and qualitative manner. It then results in the presence of five organisational competences influential to worker development and how their use can leverage the internal and external development of organisations. The absence of this direct relationship between services, competences and technological innovation in the works found exposes the originality of this article and reduces the gap existing on the subject, which can serve as a stimulus for further work. The data presented herein may provide support to managers in their operational, tactical and strategic decision making.

Title: Innovation capabilities challenges in government organisations: UAE Government as a case study
Abstract:
This research aims to explore the current challenges facing the UAE government's innovation capabilities. The UAE government currently spends billions of dollars on innovation, yet the scores in the global innovation index did not change dramatically. The research was conducted using a qualitative method, gathering data from different governmental sectors in the UAE, such as health, space, technology, education, water, energy, and transportation. The researchers interviewed 24 participants, analysed 43 public and private documents, and conducted two observations. The data were transcribed and analysed thematically, resulting in identified challenges in innovation for the UAE government in nine areas: strategy, HR, culture, collaboration, R%D, process, financing, marketing, and innovation concept. Examples of these challenges include lack of setting innovation priorities, Lack of employee focus, mismanagement of innovation culture, lack of inter-sector collaborations, Insufficient protection for IPs, Lack of R%D, and overfocus on marketing.

Title: Option pricing using data-driven machine learning approaches: empirical evidence from Indian financial market
Abstract:
Option pricing has always been seen as a black box, as it is highly complex, fierce, dynamic, and volatile. This study explored the application of machine learning (ML) models like stochastic gradient descent (SGD), decision tree, random forest, XGBoost, and artificial neural networks (ANN) to forecast the option price of NIFTY 50 index in Indian financial market. And the study determines the best model in comparison to the Black-Scholes Merton (BSM) model in forecasting the option prices. The study has applied a methodology called multi-model option-pricing neutral intelligence grid-search cross-validation assessment (MONICA) to value index options. The findings can help the traders and investors with their buy/sell strategies by comparing the forecasted value with the quoted value. The consistent and robust results from subsets using the same inputs and significance of Diebold and Mariano (DM) test statistics validates the outperformance of random forest and ANN approaches.

Title: The nexus of sync advertising as an innovative advertising technique into consumer cognitive response
Abstract:
This study suggests a research agenda in order to further and deepen the understanding of sync advertising that derives the innovative mechanism in the advertising field. A survey was conducted on 223 respondents who were familiar with the concept of sync advertising. After closely inspecting the ad frequency levels and click-through rate respondents were asked to fill the questionnaire. Negative binomial regression and zero-inflated regression were applied to data analysis. The results of the study depict that the difference between medium ad frequency and low ad frequency compared to high ad frequency was not found significant. However, the difference between medium ad frequency and low ad frequency was also not found significant to affect the brand memory. Further, the findings of the study revealed that respondents were leaner toward high ad frequency and low ad frequency compared to the low ad frequency to draw the attention.

Title: Towards sustainability in SMEs during unforeseen crises: governmental support as a moderating factor
Abstract:
This study proposed a model in determining the key factors affecting SMEs' economic sustainability during the unforeseen severe global crises. Resource-based view theory (RBV) underpinned the study, and questionnaires were used to gather the study data. SME owners, top managers, financial managers and heads of accounting departments were the study samples. The results showed significant positive effect of access to finance, innovation activities, and intellectual property related activities on economic sustainability. The interaction effect between access to finance and government support on economic sustainability appeared to be significant and positive. However, government support did not moderate the link between innovation activities and intellectual property related activities, and economic sustainability. During unforeseen crises, SMEs could employ the study model to determine their survival strategies.

Title: Dual routes of persuasion in tourism: building marine destination image through the elaboration likelihood model
Abstract:
This study investigates the dual routes of persuasion in shaping destination image and visit intention within the context of Indonesia's marine tourism digital marketing. The research employed a quantitative approach, collecting data from 300 participants aged 21 to 40, most of whom reported daily internet use. The research model explores the influence of central and peripheral route cues on the cognitive and affective dimensions of destination image and visit intention. The findings demonstrate that both argument quality and review quality significantly enhance cognitive destination image, with review quality having a greater impact. Source credibility and visual appeal significantly influenced affective destination image, whereas review quantity did not. Both cognitive and affective destination images positively affect visit intention, with affective image exerting a stronger effect. The results underscore the importance of high-quality content and credible sources in online tourism marketing.

Title: Innovating for performance: the role of lean construction and strategic partnerships in construction firms
Abstract:
This study examines the effects of lean construction and strategic partnerships on firm performance, with business model innovation as a mediating mechanism in the construction industry. A quantitative research design was employed, using data collected from 226 largescale construction firms registered as national contractors. The data were analysed using PLS-SEM. The results indicate that lean construction has a positive direct effect on firm performance and a stronger indirect effect when mediated by business model innovation. Strategic partnerships do not exert a significant direct influence on firm performance, but they contribute positively when their impact is channelled through business model innovation. In addition, business model innovation shows a strong and positive direct effect on firm performance. These findings suggest that operational efficiency and interorganisational collaboration yield optimal performance outcomes only when supported by systematic innovation across value creation, value proposition, and value capture.

Title: The mediating role of psychological capital in linking environmental dynamism to entrepreneurial persistence among nascent entrepreneurs in China
Abstract:
The paper examines the impact of environmental dynamism on personal outcomes (goal achievement, happiness) and psychological capital (PsyCap) of nascent entrepreneurs through a mediator. A quantitative survey (cross-sectional survey) was done on 136 nascent Chinese entrepreneurs, and regression and mediation analysis were done using SPSS to test hypothesised relationships. The findings indicate that environmental dynamism essentially decreases goal achievement, happiness, and PsyCap, whereas PsyCap is a powerful predictor of these positive results and mediates the relationship between environmental turbulence and personal outcomes, which demonstrates a defensive feature of PsyCap in turbulent environments. In practice, the results highlight the necessity to establish PsyCap through training, mentoring, and incubator assistance and encourage policymakers and educators to supplement financial/institutional interventions with psychological capacity-building. This piece of work is important as it focuses on the individual results of firms rather than companies and emphasises the environmental factors, psychological resources, and well-being to make PsyCap an entrepreneurial sustainability strategic resource.

Title: Do corporate governance and firm-specific characteristics affect the environmental sustainability of India? A panel data approach
Abstract:
In the new economy, this study concentrates on analysing the connection of corporate governance (CG) factors and firm-specific characteristics on sustainability practices when the natural environment and associated strategic prospects have augmented in importance. The population used in this study were 100 non-financial firms that are registered on National Stock Exchange (NSE) index of India from 2010 to 2021. In this study, two staged GMM-based dynamic panel data regression approach has been incorporated as analysis method. The result discloses a positive effect of CG factors like board size, board meetings, and CEO duality on environmental practices. But in the case of firm-specific characteristics, there exists a positive influence of age, liquidity on disclosure practices and negative impact of firm size on disclosure practices. The outcomes also provide a motivation for corporations to develop precise resources and capabilities in important areas that are of concern to appropriate investors.

Title: Sustainable procurement strategies and improved competitive advantage: a qualitative study on MNCs
Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to provide qualitative evidence concentrated on sustainable procurement strategies and their impact on the financial and non-financial performance of businesses. The study used an inductive case study method in which the in-depth interview was used as an approach and key aspects of the sustainable procurement phenomenon were mapped out from the perspective of supply chain managers of seven MNCs operating in India. This study analyses sustainable procurement strategies which show the potential to enhance business performance in terms of profitability and competitive advantage in comparison to traditional procurement strategies and complements them. On a few discussion points, both manufacturing and service companies had the same point of view but the points like triple bottom line (TBL), both domains shared varied observations like most of the interviewees described economic and environmental elements as the main agendas under TBL. The social aspect is largely overlooked in procurement strategies.

This study examines the influence of entrepreneurial leadership on entrepreneurial performance and value co-creation in the education sector, focusing on Indonesian junior high schools. Addressing a notable gap in the literature, the research investigates the mediating role of value co-creation in the relationship between entrepreneurial leadership and school performance. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from principals, teachers, and school committees across 350 schools selected through multistage cluster sampling. Covariance-based structural equation modelling (CB-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0 was used to evaluate measurement validity, model fit, and structural relationships among variables. The results demonstrate that both entrepreneurial leadership and value co-creation significantly enhance entrepreneurial performance in educational contexts. Theoretically, the study extends the resource-based view, capability theory, and service-dominant logic to school settings. Practically, the findings highlight the importance of promoting entrepreneurial leadership and value co-creation strategies, recommending targeted policies and training programs for policymakers and educational authorities.

Title: Measuring effects of perceived CSR on customer satisfaction in banks: mediating role of corporate social performance
Abstract:
The present study is based on the perception that the relationship between CSR and customer satisfaction is not always straightforward and must be intervened with some influential variables. One such variable is corporate social performance (CSP). The present study aims to determine the direct and indirect impacts of perceived CSR on customer satisfaction through CSP. The study used cross-sectional data based on a survey of 253 respondents. Using PLS-SEM, hypothesised relationships were tested between the constructs. Findings of the present work confirm the significant mediating effect of CSP in the relationship between CSR and customer satisfaction. The study highlights the importance afforded by customers on the social performance of a bank when engaging in CSR. The study includes novel and distinctive customer foci dimensions namely, firm's reputation, product responsibility and ethical business practices, to measure CSP in a bank. The study has various policy-related implications for the banking industry.

Title: Green innovation barriers in small and medium-sized enterprises: ISM-ANP approach
Abstract:
The purpose of this research is to investigate barriers to the implementation of green innovation in small and medium-sized enterprises and provide solutions to remove these barriers. In this study, to identify barriers to green innovation in SMEs, the opinions of senior managers of 28 Iranian SMEs were collected and the relationship between barriers was identified and ranked via an ANP-ISM approach. Finally, the solutions to remove important barriers of implementing green innovation were discussed. Six main groups of barriers of green innovation in Iranian SMEs were identified in three levels. The supporting green innovation, lack of sufficient knowledge and information about green innovation, and barriers to customers and the market are determined as driver variables in third level. Barriers to foreign participation, barriers to lack of government support in second level and barriers of management organisation and human resource in first level determined also as dependent variables. Finally, using the ANP method, barriers to foreign participation were identified as the most significant obstacle to green innovation in SMEs in Iran. This study identified and prioritised the barriers to green innovation in Iranian SMEs and compared these barriers with those in two Middle Eastern countries.

Title: Application of disruptive technologies in the global business landscape: learning curve for emerging economies
Abstract:
In developed countries, the application of disruptive technology in business (DTiB) is revolutionising the industrial, agricultural, commercial and service sectors. In emerging economies, however, application of DTiB is limited to a few sectors. This paper discusses the concept of DTiB, theories, and multidimensional benefits and risks using a qualitative research method. The paper provides four valuable insights. First, the notion of DTiB describes highly innovative technologies that challenge existing business models. Second, creative destruction theory (CDT), the theory of disruptive innovation (TDI), and diffusion of innovation theory (DIT) provide sound theoretical underpinnings for DTiB discourse. Third, DTiB presents society with multidimensional benefits that include digital capability, increased task flexibility, improved work efficiency, improved surveillance, among others, But, the risks include production risk, cybersecurity risk, market risk, workforce risk, institutional risk, compliance risk, third-party risk, and others. Fourth, the most visible applications of DTiB are AI, drones, robotics, big data and data analytics, and the internet of things (IoT). The paper concludes with practical and managerial implications.

Title: Innovation drivers and innovation adoption of service organisations
Abstract:
This study aimed to explore the effect of innovation drivers on innovation adoption as a single construct. Four innovation drivers were used (organisational goals, competitors, customers, and external knowledge). Innovation was measured based on its four types (Innovation 1.0, Innovation 2.0, Innovation 3.0 and Innovation 4.0). Data were collected by a questionnaire distributed to a convenience sample of 315 managers from different organisational levels selected from 15 service companies. A total of 315 questionnaires were distributed to the sample members, 277 questionnaires were returned complete, with a coverage rate of 88%. The results showed that organisational goals as well as competitors are the most common drivers of innovation for service organisations. Other drivers such as customers and external knowledge sources had no significant effect on innovation adoption. This study contributes by encouraging organisations to organise their priorities and collaborate with external sources of knowledge, such as universities and research centres.

Title: Relevance of HR analytics
Abstract:
We can understand the evolution of HR analytics as an innovation in the area of human resource management. Many researchers have discussed the impact of HR analytics in all HR functions including talent acquisition, learning and development, performance, compensation, etc. Being the latest fad in the area, it is discussed everywhere but we need to understand the preparedness of the HR practitioners. Some of the practitioners look at HR analytics as a statistician's job and some look upon it as an IT professional's job and so look forward to support from these areas. Some understand analytics as metrics, which is a different concept. The transition from traditional methods to HR analytics would require some compelling reasons for its adoption in organisations. The paper analyses the understanding and relevance of HR analytics to HR professionals. The utility of HR analytics in learning and development and performance appraisal functions is intriguing and interesting.

Title: Factors affecting customer attitude towards wind energy products
Abstract:
In India, public opinion is largely supportive of renewable energy implementation, with moderate to strong support. Even in countries that have made progress in wind power development, it appears to be a difficult task. 'Communication difficulties' is one way to describe the issues that need to be addressed when choosing where to put wind turbines. As people became more conscious of the challenges surrounding energy resources, they were more prepared to pay a little premium to support investments in renewable energy and efficiency. Wind energy's impact on landscape values is by far the most significant factor in explaining why some people oppose it and others support it. Furthermore, thoughts of equity and fairness, rather than selfishness, appear to be the determinants of 'backyard' impulses. More than energy subsidies, it is believed that tax deductions work best to increase residential consumers' acceptance of renewable energy sources.

Title: Strategic responses of small businesses to COVID-19: evidence from an emergent country
Abstract:
Using the resource-based view of the firm, this study examines the strategic responses of small businesses, during the COVID-19 pandemic, in Colombia, and how those responses affected their probability of continuity. Results show that retrenchment strategies that affect long-term investments, and relationships, have a negative effect on business continuity, while perseverance activities that affect internal and direct stakeholders contribute to survival. We found a connection between innovating activities and small business continuity, but only with those related to proactiveness, or changes in operations. Our findings contribute to explain the effectiveness of specific retrenchment, perseverance and strategic renewal strategies during an environmental jolt, and how, by leveraging distinctive configurations of resources and capabilities, small businesses can survive, regardless of resource scarcity, supporting a contingent resource-based view of the firm.
