European Community (EC) Horizon-funded projects and Earth Observation-based Consortia aim to create sustainable value for Space, Land, and Oceans. They typically focus on addressing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Many of these projects (e.g. Commercialization and Innovation Actions) have an ambitious challenge to ensure that partners share core competencies to simultaneously achieve technological and commercial success and sustainability after the end of the EC funds. To achieve this ambitious challenge, Horizon projects must have a proper governance model and a systematized process that can manage the existing paradoxical tensions involving numerous European partners and their respective agendas and stakeholders. |
Because mandatory disclosure of intellectual capital (IC) is restricted by accounting regulations, companies invest in voluntary IC disclosure (ICD) to reduce information asymmetries and support an adequate firm valuation by investors and other stakeholders. So far numerous studies analysing the value relevance of voluntary ICD have been published revealing mixed results. Thus, it is the purpose of this paper to statistically integrate and to explain the heterogeneity of results by applying a meta-analysis with 122 effects of 40 primary studies. Our results mainly support the value relevance of voluntary ICD resulting in higher market value, lower cost of equity, and higher accounting performance. We identify weak moderating effects for legal origin, different IC categories and jour... |
Previous research on organizations often focuses on either the individual, team, or organizational level. There is a lack of multidimensional research on emergent phenomena and interactions between the mechanisms at different levels. This paper takes a multifaceted perspective on individual learning and autonomous group formation. To analyze interactions between the two levels, we introduce an agent-based model that captures an organization with a population of heterogeneous agents who learn and are limited in their rationality. To solve a task, agents form a group which experiences turnover from time to time, i.e., its composition changes periodically. We explore organizations that promote learning and changes in group composition either simultaneously or sequentially and analyze t... |
Fake news, misinformation and disinformation have significantly increased over the past years, and they have a profound effect on societies and supply chains. This paper examines the relationship of information risks with supply chain disruptions and proposes blockchain applications and strategies to mitigate and manage them. We critically review the literature of SCRM and SCRES and find that information flows and risks are relatively attracting less attention. We contribute by suggesting that information integrates other flows, processes and operations, and it is an overarching theme that is essential in every part of the supply chain. Based on related studies we create a theoretical framework that incorporates fake news, misinformation and disinformation. To our knowledge, this is... |
The purpose of this paper is to examine the main antecedents of happiness at work (HAW) as a main driver of organizational learning capabilities (OLC) among academic staff working in Egyptian private universities. The mediating role of HAW between these drivers like Work–Life Balance (WLB) and Recognition from one side and OLC on the other side has also been evaluated. A survey-based research strategy has been adopted. A survey of 207 academic staff employees working in Egyptian private universities was conducted to test the direct effects of the hypothesized relationships. The findings of this study supported the hypotheses that recognition has significant positive total effect on OLC and partially through the mediating effect of HAW among academic staff at Egyptian private univers... |
Companies play a central role in the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); as such, they face institutional pressures to increase their engagement with SDGs. However, given the complexity of SDGs, it is unclear whether these pressures lead firms to adopt engagement approaches that address a few goals or the whole set of 17, and if that choice has any subsequent effect on financial performance. To shed light on these issues, this research draws on the neo-institutional theory to investigate whether two institutional determinants—industry type and country of origin—affect SDG engagement and whether such engagement improves financial performance. Based on a content analysis and a regression analysis on high-reputation companies (the 100 most sustainable firms in the worl... |
In the last decades, the production of fuel ethanol from corn has spread as a valid renewable alternative to pursue sustainability goals. However the uncertain nature of both input (corn) and output (gasoline) prices, together with price dependent operational decisions, combine to make this difficult plant valuation require a real options approach. Moreover, this project is characterized by various sequential stages that contribute to increase its valuation difficulties. The purpose of this paper is to provide a reliable valuation methodology of a corn ethanol plant project able to consider the characteristics of the project. We apply the compound Real Options Approach to price a corn ethanol plant project considering that the corn and gasoline prices both follow a skew-geometric Br... |
Nowadays, advertising is regarded as one of the vital elements of marketing tools’ promotional strategies. Therefore, advertising is very important to businesses’ marketing strategies and policies. In light of this, the purpose of the current study was to ascertain the influence of endorsers’ gender and the level of attention given to various aspects of advertising. A quasi-experimental study was used for the current investigation. All students at Mashhad’s Ferdowsi University made up the study’s statistical population. 80 students were chosen as the research sample out of the entire student body. Eye motions were captured using an eye tracking gadget. According to research findings, the number and length of fixes on advertisement items were significantly influenced by the popularit... |
Entrepreneurship has been connected to several socio-economic issues. However, despite the growing conjectures, the links with democracy have yet to be substantiated. By using a country-level panel dataset over the 1972–2010 period, we find evidence that democracy is conducive to entrepreneurship. We shed light on the intensity and multidimensionality of democracy by showing that the promotion of free social interchange and the direct involvement of civil society in political processes are two dimensions of democracy driving such effect. We additionally observe that entrepreneurship is sensitive to both contemporaneous and historical values of democracy. By providing the first systematic empirical evidence that entrepreneurship and democracy are directly connected, this study sugges... |
While digitalization offers numerous new possibilities for value creation, managers have to overcome a number of threats and obstacles that it harbors. In this context, the concept of Corporate Digital Responsibility (CDR) is of increasing interest to practitioners. Drawing on the well-established paradigm of Corporate Social Responsibility, CDR comprises a set of principles designed to encourage the ethical and conscientious development, adoption, and utilization of digital technologies. This work aims at contributing to the evolving research base by empirically assessing consumer preferences and a consumer segmentation approach with regard to companies’ concrete CDR activities, thus supporting the operationalization of CDR. Hence, this work provides concrete guidance for firms’ CD... |
