The individualisation of risk and responsibility for retirement planning, with the requirement to make ‘good saving decisions’, is an essential feature of the financialisation of pensions. Individuals are encouraged to become active financial subjects to ensure their own economic welfare. Additionally, concepts such as individual responsibility, risk management and financial planning are presented as moral obligations. This narrative has become an intrinsic part of neoliberal policies implemented over the last four decades in the UK, aimed at further privatising retirement. This paper examines the views and attitudes of young women towards individual responsibility and risk, within the context of retirement planning in the UK. The study presents a gendered analysis of financialisation of the pension system. It draws from the concept of ‘individual investor’ to critically discuss its shortcomings, using interviews and a focus group with young British women. The findings show how deep-rooted the idea of personal responsibility is amongst respondents, but also that the concept of managing risk and uncertainty is not adequately recognised, despite its centrality to investment practices.

The global adventure tourism market is rapidly expanding and increasingly becoming a form of mass tourism. With the increasing safety concerns of adventure tourism, dual-actor responsibility receives attention. The objective of this study is to investigate how tourists' self-protective behavior and their perceived protective behavior of the destination (i.e., facility and management protections) influenced their overall satisfaction based on Expectation-Confirmation Theory and Co-creation Theory. A mixed-methods approach was conducted to collect data. The findings reveal that self-protective behavior does not directly enhance satisfaction. Rather, only when tourists perceive destination-protective behavior, in terms of both facility and management protections, and gain a corresponding sense of safety, can a satisfactory experience be achieved. Besides, in adventure mountain destinations, self-protective behavior can be understood through three key aspects: information, equipment, and actions. Tourists perceive facility protection from the destination via features such as rest platforms, guardrails, and stone steps, while management protection is reflected in staff, instruction, and policies. Together, these elements co-create the tourists' experience of safety and satisfaction. This study contributes to the literature by uncovering the co-creative mechanism through which individual and destination protective behaviors jointly shape safe and satisfying tourist experiences. It also provides valuable managerial implications for enhancing tourists’ safety and satisfaction in adventure and mountainous tourism settings.

Since the mid-2010s, multinational enterprises (MNEs) have operated in an increasingly turbulent international business (IB) environment characterized by geoplitical frictions, trade protectionism, intensified FDI screening, and assertive techno-nationalist industrial policies. These developments mark a shift from the efficiency-driven globalization of 1980–2016 toward strategies emphasizing supply chain resilience and local responsiveness. This paper contrasts the relative stability of the neoliberal era with today’s fragmented regulatory landscape, tracing the transition from multilateralism to renewed economic nationalism. It examines how evolving industrial policies affect MNEs from advanced and emerging economies. The paper identifies adaptive responses—including reconfiguring global value chains, increasing inventories, diversifying suppliers, engaging in non-market strategies, and enhancing digital transparency. It concludes by outlining alternative trajectories for globalization: a bifurcation into hegemon-led blocs or a revival of multilateral cooperation grounded in comparative advantage, knowledge diffusion, and the enduring mutual gains from cross-border investment.

Research on the impact of inward foreign direct investment (IFDI) on new venture creation has primarily focused on the country level, often yielding inconsistent findings. To reconcile these inconsistencies, we develop a theory on the influence of IFDI stock on new venture creation at the industry-regional level, offering three possible complementary explanations. Drawing on learning and competition theories, we propose that IFDI in a specific industry and region has an inverted U-shaped effect on new venture creation, driven by the dual forces of learning opportunities and competitive threats anticipated by prospective entrepreneurs. Additionally, we found that IFDI in related industries in the focal region and IFDI in the focal industry in adjacent regions positively influence new venture creation. Furthermore, we argue that these effects are amplified in regions with more developed non-state economy. Analyzing data on all registered firms (2013−2023) collected from China National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System provides robust support for our hypotheses. The findings make important theoretical contributions to research on foreign direct investment and entrepreneurship, as well as to the literature on learning and competition.

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are increasingly used to interpret cultural heritage, but their effects in ethically charged and emotionally intense settings like dark tourism remain uncertain. Unlike earlier AI narration studies conducted in neutral or pleasure-focused contexts, this research explores how AI voices are perceived when describing death-related content that encourages ethical reflection and emotional involvement. Using the Cognition–Affect–Behavior model, Study 1 (N = 143, offline experiment) confirmed perceptual equivalence between AI and human voices when vocal naturalness is high. Study 2 (N = 244, online experiment) examined how voice type (AI vs. human) and identity labeling (AI vs. human) influence visitors’ perceptions and behavioral responses through mediating and moderating mechanisms. Labeling an AI narrator significantly reduced perceived authenticity and emotional resonance, decreasing behavioral intentions, while labels did not impact human voices. Death anxiety reduced emotional ties to AI narrators, emphasizing ethical concerns in dark tourism storytelling.

Two decades after Lee's (2004) Triple-A framework—agility, adaptability, and alignment—redefined supply chain excellence, the context that shaped it has undergone a significant transformation. Supply chains now function through digital platforms, extended ecosystems, and under growing social and environmental expectations. This Journal of Business Logistics Special Topic Forum (STF) revisits the Triple-A concept to explore how these capabilities evolve under today's conditions and the need for responsiveness. Drawing on the STF contributions, we introduce AAA+, an updated view of the Triple-A model that clarifies the conditions under which agility, adaptability, and alignment generate competitive advantage. The framework extends the original logic through three evolutions: digital super-agility, enabled by real-time data, analytics, and automation; strategic and sustainable adaptability, embedding resilience and environmental responsibility into network redesign; and ecosystem alignment, emphasizing coordination and shared governance across multi-tier and multi-stakeholder networks. Together, these dimensions shift Triple-A from a firm-level performance framework to a network-level capability system. The AAA+ perspective also outlines a forward agenda for research and practice. It calls for studies that examine how digitalization, sustainability, and ecosystem governance interact to shape capability development, and it offers managers a lens to assess whether their supply chains are prepared for an era defined by data speed, global risk, and public accountability. In revisiting Triple-A through this broader lens, the STF reaffirms Lee's enduring insight: the most successful supply chains are not simply efficient—they are those that learn, adapt, and align better across an increasingly connected world.
