Title: System dynamics to assess the financial impact through the use of recycled kitchen oil in solid waste collection vehicles
Abstract:
This paper aims to understand, develop and execute computational models to analyse the cost benefit of the use of different percentages of biodiesel in urban solid waste collection and to verify the biodiesel production viability by organisations. For the models' development, the system dynamics method was used. Mathematically, System Dynamics model is a system of linear equations. Through Vensim software, it was possible to develop, document, simulate, and analyse the models, noting the financial impact caused by waste collection in seven municipalities in southern Brazil. For the modelling, nine scenarios were developed and divided into 3 groups: simulation with different percentages of biodiesel, simulation using BIOBOT 20 processor, and simulation through a plant construction by the company. As a result, it was found that, in the long term, the best scenario for the company analysed is the use of BIOBOT 20 processor with 15% biodiesel percentage, followed by the construction of its own plant, also using 15% biodiesel. Results were satisfactory and met the designers' expectations.

Title: Sustainable business model innovation and ethics: a conceptual review from the institutional theory addressing (un)sustainability
Abstract:
Being this a period when human activities and creations profoundly alter many geological conditions and processes, here we conceptualise how the sustainable innovation of business models acts as yet another lever for the dissemination of human misbehaviours against the planet and its ecosystems. Departing from the Institutional Theory approach to entrepreneurship and sustainability, we identified institutional and ethical standards and norms that allow a better understanding of the institutional logic behind sustainable business model (SBM) innovation, how it is formed and its consequences in terms of inequity, oppression and exclusion. We have linked those standards with 12 constructs that can guide further empirical analyses; incubators, trainers, investors and policy makers could use them to support entrepreneurs avoid planet challenges and enhance human and non-human ecosystems.

Title: Integrating innovation and sustainability into tour operator business
Abstract:
A considerable amount of attention has been paid to the sustainable development of the tourism industry and yet research on the role of tour operator has remained limited. The tour operator has important roles in destination management for sustainable tourism. Given that the empirical study of destination management for sustainable tourism is in an undeveloped state, this research describes efforts to prove its mediator role between perceived innovation characteristics and business sustainable orientation towards tour operator roles. Based on a study among 228 tour operator roles in Malaysia, the analyses reveal that sustainable destination management enhances a positive relationship with perceived innovation characteristics and sustainable business orientation on tour operator roles. In this regard, it is proposed that the perceived innovation characteristics and sustainable business orientation, as well as the destination management, are manifestation of sustainable development that influence tour operator to perform their role more sustainable in tourism industry.

Title: Analysis of social, environmental and economic sustainability core: a bibliometric overview
Abstract:
Sustainability has become a global concern in the 21st century. However, sustainability is an ambivalent concept that can be interpreted in many ways. In the beginning, it was environmentally-related. Later, however, it was linked to social or economic sustainability, which was known as the 'triple bottom-line' or the 'three-pillar model' (social/economic and environmental sustainability). Later, additional dimensions were incorporated, such as institutional, cultural, or even spatial. As a result of the growth and importance of sustainability, this study provides a comprehensive overview of the core of sustainability. With that aim in mind, we will analyse the following aspects of scientific production: volume of scientific output, primary agents involved (countries, institutions), web of science (WoS) categories, collaborations, acknowledgement patterns, and thematic analysis. The findings in this paper suggest an increasing growth in scientific output in all areas of sustainability, albeit with different patterns (e.g., collaboration, specialisation) among the three pillars.

Title: Detecting trends in sustainability publications: research development and dynamics in "Green and sustainable science and technology" category
Abstract:
Although the sustainability movement began to take shape in the early nineteen seventies, it was not until 1987 with the publication of the Brundtland Report that it acquired institutional recognition. The academic community's engagement with the movement came a few years later in the form of sustainability science, which developed and consolidated in keeping with the dynamics of any new scientific discipline. This review analyses its development based on the papers listed in the web of science (WoS) category 'Green and sustainable science and technology'. The bibliometric methodology used included social network and multivariate analysis focusing on journal, discipline and subject inter-relationships to map and analyse developments in this new field. The main findings identified four clusters of journals with different patterns of development: sustainability, renewable energies, green chemistry and green ecology. Mainstream and emerging subjects were determined on the grounds of co-word analysis.

Title: The influence of media exposure and trust on youth attitude towards greener Tainan
Abstract:
Urban pollution is getting catastrophic in Asia-Pacific (APAC), especially for industrial countries like Taiwan. This paper tries to explore and assess the role of media and trust in promoting green attitude in Tainan. This quantitative pilot study with structured questionnaires is based on 81 valid responses from local and foreign students in four major universities in Tainan. The results exhibit that correlations do exist between green media exposure and trust, and, trust and attitude. However, correlation between media exposure and attitude is not validated. Therefore, this paper has proved that trust is a mediator between media and attitude. It is also shown that young adults in Tainan could be affected by green media to have more trust toward green products, which in turns can positively affect green attitude. Although this research has limitations, its novelty can still be treated as a guiding preliminary study and contribute to future research.

Title: What is the public opinion about universities and sustainability? a social media analysis among 'Spain' and across the world
Abstract:
This exploratory study aims to identify, to cluster, and to set an emotional value of the content of tweets including 'university' and sustainability-related terms in Spain in comparison to the rest of the world. For six months, in Spain, 2370 tweets were collected and 53,567 tweets in the rest of the world (English language). To carry out this research, sentiment and topic clustering analyses were applied. The results present key factors that involve the environment, research, and innovation through the role of universities in communities. The outcome also adds an entrepreneurship vision and practical implication of academic knowledge in industries. The conclusions of the present study can be useful to evidence the contribution of universities in their pursuit of a sustainable environment. Our findings will also define important questions to be addressed through the main mission of universities as part of an innovative process of answering new challenges.

Title: Laytime and demurrage implications in voyage charterparties for chemical tankers
Abstract:
Maritime transportation is one of the worst offenders for air, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). Reducing the emissions in shipping is a common goal for all stakeholders involved in the shipping process. The purpose of this paper was to explore the implications of the laytime and demurrage provisions when using existing charterparties and to suggest how the areas where charterers are exposed to demurrage can be addressed and thus improve sustainability. A comparative analysis was conducted on selected standard voyage charterparties. The findings revealed various areas that do not protect a charterer's interest. It is proposed that in order to solve this challenge a global group consisting of stakeholders be formed to collectively design laytime and demurrage clauses in order to achieve greater sustainability and reduce demurrage. A revised charterparty form for the transportation of chemical liquid bulk chemicals by tankers could then be created.

Title: Does CSER is a driver of innovation? Evidence from French listed companies
Abstract:
This study examines whether socially responsible firms carry higher research and development (R&D) intensity and how corporate governance quality influences this investment. Based on a sample of French firms belonging to the SBF 120 index from 2012 to 2016, the results show that firms with higher corporate social and environmental responsibility (CSER) score have greater R&D intensity. These companies try to protect environment and to create positive social impact by the use of new technologies. Moreover, the findings confirm that firms with better corporate governance quality invest more on R&D. Finally, the results reveal that some control variables influence significantly R&D intensity. The findings in this research may be of practical interest to investors, sustainable professionals and modern consumers who are aware of social and environmental concerns and who are trying to keep themselves informed about strategies used by businesses to improve CSER practices.

Title: Sustainable knowledge flow and innovation in higher education: the implementation of change management in universities
Abstract:
One of the most difficult tasks in higher educational institutions is to implement effective and constructive changes within already functioning system. Resistance and unwillingness of the institutional members are the main barriers for an institution to implement a required change. This paper intends to describe how to facilitate the flow of knowledge and adopt an innovation mindset in the context of higher education or higher learning institutions. In addition, this paper also discusses three domains of a comprehensive implementation or change management plan: structure, culture, and strategies. The change management plan presented in this paper demonstrates how a change initiative can be undertaken in a higher educational institution in the context of knowledge flow and adoption of the innovation mindset. The main outcome of the paper is that institutional mission, vision and priorities need to be clearly understood by every member of the staff in order to support and facilitate change and innovative thinking.

Title: Entrepreneurial self-efficacy development: an effective intervention for sustainable student entrepreneurial intentions
Abstract:
Eco-systemic disconnect in youth entrepreneurs' support systems is a challenge in most developing countries and adversely affects the success of entrepreneurship education. The study investigated the extent to which the application of systemic action learning and action research (SALAR) affects students' entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) and determined relationships between ESE development, entrepreneurial intention and action. A quantitative design was used with a structured, self-administered, 7-point Likert scale survey through a test-retest method, over nine months amongst university students at a selected university in South-Africa. A purposive (non-probability) sampling technique was adopted for the administration of 230 questionnaires. Inferential statistics were used to examine the relationship between the constructs. Findings indicated a significant relationship between the application of SALAR and students' ESE development, intention and action. The findings propose a flexible social technology model (SHAPE) and methodology (SALAR) that other higher education institutions can adapt to facilitate youth entrepreneurship education development.

Title: Quality of life and redevelopment of Wakaf Che Yeh, Kelantan, Malaysia
Abstract:
The redevelopment of Wakaf Che Yeh from an open-air night market into a permanent structure commercial area with shops and roadside stalls affected the quality of life (QOL) of the surrounding residents. The study examined the impact of the Wakaf Che Yeh redevelopment on QOL in terms of its physical, economic and social aspects as well as overall impact. The findings showed that the majority of respondents felt that the physical and economic aspects of QOL had decreased. However, the social aspect and overall QOL had increased. All the three (3) aspects of QOL, namely physical, economic, and social, were significantly correlated to the overall QOL impact. However, there was a stronger relationship between overall QOL and the social aspect as compared to the correlation between overall QOL and the physical or economic aspects. In fact, the nature of QOL leaned more towards the social concern or wellbeing of people.

Title: Itaipu Technological Park (ITP) socio-technical transition to sustainability
Abstract:
Environmental problems arising with uncontrolled growth increased the interest in studies that combine innovation and sustainability. In this sense, eco-innovation is an approach that contributes to the understanding of the relation between society, economy and the environment. Technology parks are considered innovative environments for the new technologies development, which can be explained by the socio-technical transition theory. Thus, the objective of this paper was to analyse the transition from the eco-innovative niche to an eco-innovative regime at the Itaipu Technological Park (ITP), by basing on a socio-technical approach to understand the different co-evolution influences on the social and technical environment. We were able to show that the ITP, with their sponsor support, Itaipu Binacional, created an eco-innovation favourable environment. The infrastructure of its facilities and labs, in addition to its eco-innovative culture turned ITP into an open environment to the development of eco-innovations.

Title: Governance, sustainability and carbon markets under the Paris Agreement
Abstract:
The entry into force of the Paris Agreement, which can be considered the new international consensus to tackle reductions on greenhouse gas emissions from 2020, is facing up many unknown issues on methodology and governance. These are topics under constant negotiation among its signatory Parties. This paper, which methodology relies on a normative analysis of legal texts and bibliographic review on the carbon markets, identifies the key elements of this compromise, and shapes its weaknesses, paying special attention to the rules on carbon markets. It also outlines the obstacles that the already ongoing Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol is facing up nowadays. Clearing up those uncertainties could trigger the development of new projects and innovation to obtain measurable emission reductions under the scope of the new compromise.

Title: Intellectual treatment of the normative notion 'sustainability'
Abstract:
While the prevailing conceptualisations on sustainability exhibit fragmentary, selective nature of the concepts, an appropriate intellectual treatment of sustainability would instead require an integrated, non-reductionist nature of enquiry that can produce understandings on the entirety of reality as the problems of sustainability exist only on the totality of reality. Despite the selective nature of the reductionist, fragmented nature of enquiries appears to be unproblematic for addressing particular fragments of reality, this approach becomes inadequate and normative - regardless of how analytical or operative it could be - when there is a need to study the entirety of reality. Drawing on the difference between a normative essence and a fundamental intellectual perspective on sustainability, this research establishes the necessity of discovering the knowledge avenue of the scholarship of sustainability instead of imaginatively describing a normative-speculation-based treatment of it. It, thus, creates the intellectual basis for the discovery of the scholarship of sustainability.

Title: Business models as framework for sustainable value-creation: strategic and operative leadership challenges
Abstract:
This study explores leadership challenges related to the operationalisation of sustainable business models in offshore shipping. Based on a comparative case study, the study finds that the business model framework and the business model canvas' building blocks must be adapted and adjusted to the resources and capabilities of the firm and its strategic and industrial context and operation. Another crucial finding is that the processes and relationships between the business model's building blocks - the day-to-day actions and activities in developing, implementing and gradually revising and auditing a chosen business model - are strongly leadership and management intensive. By giving an example of sustainable value-creation, the study contributes to the state-of-the-art of corporate sustainability management and development by illustrating how new business models can be pursued in the maritime shipping industry.

Title: Intellectual human capital, corporate social innovation and sustainable development: a conceptual framework
Abstract:
Corporate social innovation (CSI) is an emerging concept that is fundamental for 21st-century businesses. Human capital plays a vital role in firms that seek to pursue CSI goals. This study introduces a management control system as an approach to achieve strong sustainability in business and society through CSI. This paper seeks to examine the role of intellectual human capital in CSI. The paper finds that CSI has distinctive corporate research and development activities that can be applied to complex sustainability issues. The paper reveals that the sustainability of business and society is dependent on factors of intellectual human capital. The theoretical findings reveal that the nexus between intellectual human capital, CSI and the sustainability of business and society can be explained within the assumptions of the theory of the resource-based view (RBV). This paper offers an in-depth review of the relationship between sustainability-related intellectual human capital and CSI.

Title: Key enabling technologies and measuring of the company performance in relation to sustainable development: evaluation model design
Abstract:
Key enabling technologies (KETs) is the concept of the European Commission describing the technologies that are expected to enhance the competitiveness of the European small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and to significantly contribute to solving the societal and environmental challenges. Evaluation of the KETs implementation at macro (country) level is frequently realised by using specifically developed quantitative and qualitative evaluation model for the purpose of the European Commission. Nevertheless, at micro (company) level, the performance measurement of companies implementing KETs has not been studied yet. The objective of the paper is to design the KETs evaluation model for measuring of the company performance. Furthermore, the model is applied on a preliminary survey of Czech manufacturing KETs-performing companies. As the result, the evaluation model of KETs implementation in companies is based on environmental, social and economic pillars of sustainable development but is extended by additional technological pillar, which is considered as a crucial for KETs.

Title: The process of innovation as a determinant factor of sustainable development in companies
Abstract:
At present, to compete openly in global markets, two concepts are needed to generate competitive advantages: innovation and sustainability. Several studies have presented strategies to relate them. However, a model that promotes the sustainability dimensions through innovation focused on an integral recognition is needed. The aim of this research is to determine the influence of innovation factors on a sustainable development model. The methodology consisted of analysing and selecting a published model of the innovation process as well as one model of sustainable development to identify the correlation between them. For this purpose, an instrument of analysis was designed and was applied in the ceramic coating sector in Tlaxcala, Mexico. The information obtained was analysed by means of statistical analysis. The results showed significant correlations and a model of Innovation-Sustainable Development was proposed, concluding that the model represents a new way to promote sustainability through a culture of innovation.

Title: Managing sustainable development of government link companies (GLCs) in Malaysia through emotional intelligence and organisational politics
Abstract:
Organisational politics are becoming a common topic in management studies because of the negative influence it can have on the workforce. This study was conducted to examine the effect of emotional intelligence on organisational politics in government link companies (GLCs) in Malaysia. The study's research framework was supported by the leader member exchange (LMX) theory. Data was collected from middle to top level managers in the GLCs in Malaysia using a stratified random sampling method. Three hundred and twenty-five usable questionnaires were collected and analysed using partial least square structural equation model (PLS-SEM). The findings show that there is a significant link between emotional intelligence and organisational politics. This study provides an understanding that the presence of emotional intelligence can help in improving a leader's ability to manage the political environment. This study could be replicated within other industries by refining the items used as a measurement variable.

Title: Cohesiveness, social justice, and innovativeness with environmental sanitation behaviour
Abstract:
This research aimed to observe the relationship between cohesiveness, social justice, and innovativeness with environmental sanitation behaviour on households at Sukakarya, West Java. The method used was survey method with a correlational study by involving 85 samples. There were four instruments which measured environmental sanitation behaviour, cohesiveness, social justice, and innovativeness. Data has been analysed using ANOVA. Research results revealed that there is a positive and significant correlation among those variables, even though it has been controlled by second-order correlation, it is still significant among them. Therefore, it may be concluded that if environmental sanitation behaviour would be improved, then cohesiveness, social justice, and innovativeness should be taken into consideration.

Title: Social exchange theory in sustainable tourism: a case study from Thailand
Abstract:
As multi-stakeholders are important in sustainable tourism development (STD), this study applies the social exchange theory (SET) to explain all stakeholders' perceptions towards STD's benefits and impacts on the local community. This paper is part of a larger study that offers better explanation of local leaders and policy-makers' perceptions towards STD as these stakeholders act as the critical initiators or facilitators in a selected tourism site in the local community. A total of ten local leaders and policymakers in Thailand was interviewed and the results were thematically analysed using Nvivo program. Although positive and negative perceptions are anticipated, other insightful results including fostering mutual benefits for all stakeholders in a sustainable way are presented. Sample size, data collection and research methodology are this paper's limitation. Further research should include more data from other stakeholders in order to understand the bigger picture of applying SET in STD.

Title: Building a conducive, engaged, and learning working environment through sustainable and impactful organisational culture
Abstract:
A positive working environment that is conducive to engagement and learning among an organisation's employees plays an integral role in the overall success and sustainability of the organisation itself. This study provides an in-depth analysis of using organisational culture as a sustainable tool to bring about lasting changes in the organisational ecosystems that contribute to employee engagement and lifelong learning. Samples from 472 respondents were obtained, and SEM analyses were employed in this study. The empirical results demonstrate that bureaucratic organisational culture has no impact on engagement and lifelong learning among employees. Although innovative organisational culture is the most effective in promoting employee engagement, it does not impact employee lifelong learning disposition. Interestingly, supportive organisational culture negatively impacts engagement, but contributes to workforce lifelong learning (LLL). This research shows that a conducive working environment can be created with proactive nurturing of organisational knowledge as the inherent culture of the organisation.

Title: Determinants of urban residential water demand in Libya
Abstract:
This paper analyses the effect of several economic, environmental and social determinants for the per capita demand for water in Libya. In this study, the econometric model based on E-views method, instrumental and ARDL model are applied. The cointegration analysis has shown a significant positive effect of temperature on water demand over the short and long term. Also, there is a positive relationship between rainfall and water demand in the long term and its less impact in the short term. There is a significant positive relationship between urban population and water demand. On the other hand, there is a significant negative effect of income on water demand. Therefore, water demand is inflexible to changes in income. The study demonstrated that there is a negative effect on water price in relation to water demand. The estimated long-term variable of water value is 220.98.

Title: Splitting up Dhaka city: rationales, challenges and prospects as a sustainable city
Abstract:
The objective of this study is to analyse the rationales, challenges and prospects of Dhaka City being split up, for the purposes of creating a sustainable city grounded in relevant theories and widely used and accepted standards. We cited the opinions of urban planners and politicians and referred to relevant theories and standards to achieve this objective. An assessment of Dhaka being divided in accordance with the concept of city development strategies (CDS) reveals considerable deficiencies in most aspects of public goods and services provisions. Whilst splitting Dhaka into separate sections supports the ‘World City Hypothesis’ it is not without criticisms. Resource constraint and oversight to address those deficiencies make it very difficult for Dhaka's authorities to achieve sustainable urbanisation. Therefore, stringent decisions and appropriate strategies should be implemented by the Bangladeshi government to resolve these deficiencies and mismanagement to make the city both liveable and sustainable.

Title: Integration of lean and green management: a bibliometric analysis
Abstract:
Lean and green are major, compatible management initiatives because of their joint focus on waste reduction, efficient use of resources and emphasis on satisfying customer needs at the lowest possible cost (economic and environmental). From this angle, this paper presents a bibliometric analysis of the integration of lean and green management. To that end, this paper analyses 685 research papers retrieved from the Scopus database using the following parameters: year of publication, discipline, source, institution, country and citations. This final dataset was composed of articles from scientific journals published between 1992-2018. Furthermore, VOSviewer software was used to map the bibliographic material using the coupling of countries and the co-occurrence of keywords. The analysis indicates that research on lean and green topics has increased in recent years, and that moreover the topic is structured into three clusters: 1) manufacturing; 2) energy, emissions and costs; 3) Lean Six Sigma. These highlights can facilitate the development of future research on this topic.
