This paper focuses on climate coalitions and commitments in the Global South by comparing the cases of two Latin American countries, Chile and Mexico. Chile, once a laggard, emerged as a regional leader in climate policy in the early 2020s, while Mexico, a pioneer until the early 2010s, experienced a backlash and retreated. How can we make sense of these diverging trajectories? How and why do climate commitments emerge? This paper argues that robust commitments are only possible when driven by a bundled narrative that facilitates the formation of a broad coalition. Such a coalition, in turn, crafts and advances the climate narrative, as demonstrated by the Chilean case. By exploring the interplay between climate narrative creation and coalition-building, the paper underscores climate coalitions' fragile and often precarious nature in the Global South. It seeks to contribute to the existing knowledge on climate policy and the formation of climate coalitions, particularly in the Global South, where climate policy challenges are often more intensified than in the Global North.

In recent years, crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic have challenged hospitals, critical pillars of healthcare systems, revealing significant variations in their ability to respond effectively. Hospital resilience addresses the urgent need to understand how to enhance hospitals' capacity to respond effectively to crises. While numerous factors have been identified as critical to hospital resilience, they are often studied in isolation, overlooking the synergistic effects among them and lacking robust empirical validation. Grounded in the Resource-Based View, this paper investigates how key resources, namely digital technologies and staff skills, along with the capability of supply chain information integration (SCII), influence hospital resilience. Drawing on survey data from 130 Italian hospitals, the study examines the direct impact of these resources and capabilities on hospital resilience, as well as the mediating role of supply chain information integration, using structural equation modelling. The results reveal that digital technologies and external information integration capability directly affects hospital resilience. Moreover, the study underscores the importance of leveraging digital technologies and enhancing staff skills to foster supply chain information integration, which in turn mediates the relationship between these resources and hospital resilience. This research contributes significantly to theoretical and practical insights in hospital management and resilience strategies. The proposed theoretical framework enhances our understanding of hospital resilience dynamics by elucidating the direct influence of resources and capabilities, while also highlighting the mediating effect of supply chain information integration. These findings offer actionable insights for hospital managers to optimize resource allocation and capabilities amidst uncertainties, thereby fortifying hospital resilience.

This study explores the impact of digital literacy, entrepreneurial mindset, digital entrepreneur attitudes, and perceived behavioral control on individuals' intentions to pursue digital entrepreneurship. Moreover, it elucidates the potential impact of perceived behavioral control as a moderator on variables that influence digital entrepreneurial intention. This study centers on the higher education landscape in Indonesia, with a particular emphasis on Universitas Negeri Padang. The data collected from the sample of 410 participants who satisfied the validity criteria were subsequently analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling as the research model. The study's findings indicate that the entrepreneurial mindset has a positive impact on both the attitude of digital entrepreneurs and their locus of control. Enhancing digital literacy enhances the mindset, attitudes, and intentions of entrepreneurs. Moreover, the attitudes of digital entrepreneurs have a positive impact on their sense of control and their intention to take action. The locus of power has no impact on individuals' future intentions to transition into digital enterprises. Unexpectedly, the moderator's ability to regulate behavior does not affect the engineering students' proficiency in digital skills, their attitudes toward digital entrepreneurs, or their perception of control over their digital entrepreneurship plans. The study further demonstrates the utility of understanding the impact of digital literacy on students' perspectives, cognitive processes, and entrepreneurial decisions. This study has significant academic and practical implications for individuals seeking to establish their digital enterprises.

This study aims to examine the impact of Digital Literacy (DL), Digital Connectivity Capability (DC), and Heuristic Thinking Skills (HTS) on Digital Marketing Competency (DMC) with the objective of understanding the factors influencing digital marketing competency among Generation Z marketing students in Thailand. The research employs a quantitative approach, collecting data from 384 participants through an online survey. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis reveals that DL and DC have both direct and indirect effects on DMC, with HTS serving as a crucial mediating variable. Additionally, DL demonstrates the strongest influence on DMC by enhancing problem-solving skills, while DC significantly contributes to effective digital connectivity and technology utilization. The findings underscore the pivotal roles of DL and DC as foundational factors for developing digital marketing competency, with HTS facilitating quick and effective decision-making in complex and dynamic contexts. These insights suggest that educational curricula and training programs in the digital era should integrate these three skills to prepare Generation Z students for the challenges of the digital labor market. This study holds value both academically and practically, providing recommendations for enhancing students' potential and fostering strategic capabilities in today's highly competitive market.

Previous studies develop data mining methods for identifying weak signals of technological and business changes, but there remains a research gap in understanding how to track the evolution of digital business weak signals over time and evaluate their potential development into strong signals or remaining weak signals. To address this research gap, we analyze the technology and business profiles of digital entrepreneurial ventures from 2011 to 2022, using data extracted from CrunchBase. We employ a 6-year window and a keyword-based text mining approach to classify digital business weak and strong signals across two distinct time periods. Using logistic regression analysis, we examine factors, such as entrepreneurship intensity and venture capital funding, that may be related to the development of weak signals into strong trends. We also apply Word2vec to assess and rank the applications of digital business weak signals based on their significance and potential. Additionally, we use term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) to measure the relevance and importance of digital business weak signals over time. Our study identifies several weak signal areas that entrepreneurs perceive as having high growth potential, including Web3, quantum computing, space travel and satellite communication, and the valorization of forestry and natural resources. Among these, Web3 has gained significant importance and relevance in digital business contexts over the past few years.

This article investigates how the use of discretion in public-private contracts interplays with transactional complexity in influencing contract renegotiations. Motivations for contract renegotiations may be positive, negative (e.g., opportunistic), or neutral, and we argue that allowing discretion at the award stage may promote a more relational approach to contracting that fosters cooperation and productive adaptation. Using a dataset of 12,189 renegotiated contracts from the Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) eProcurement platform—based on European Union public procurement directives—we apply regression analyses and propensity score matching to examine how contracts are awarded and renegotiated. Our findings suggest that contracts awarded with government discretion are associated with renegotiations that are viewed more positively and less likely to be perceived as opportunistic. However, this beneficial role for discretion appears to be mitigated by contract transactional complexity, making this a critical consideration in efforts to improve the governance of provider relationships and increase public value. By integrating insights from incomplete and relational contracting theories, this study contributes to the public administration and management literature by demonstrating how discretion and complexity jointly shape contract renegotiation dynamics, informing governance strategies that balance flexibility and accountability in public procurement.

本文研究了公私合同中自由裁量权的使用如何与交易复杂性相互作用，从而影响合同的重新谈判。合同重新谈判的动机可能是积极的、消极的（如机会主义），也可能是中性的，我们认为，在授标阶段允许自由裁量权可能会促进一种更具关系性的缔约方式，从而促进合作和富有成效的适应。我们利用基于欧盟公共采购指令的电子采购平台 Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) 中的 12,189 份重新谈判的合同数据集，运用回归分析和倾向得分匹配来研究合同是如何授予和重新谈判的。我们的研究结果表明，政府自由裁量权授予的合同与重新谈判相关，而重新谈判被视为机会主义的可能性较小。然而，合同交易的复杂性似乎削弱了自由裁量权的这一有利作用，这就成为改善供应商关系管理和提高公共价值的一个重要考虑因素。本研究综合了不完全契约理论和关系契约理论的观点，展示了自由裁量权和复杂性如何共同塑造合同重新谈判的动态，为公共采购中平衡灵活性和问责制的治理策略提供了参考，从而为公共行政和管理文献做出了贡献。

The extant literature on authentic leadership (AL) has neglected to consider how the experience of AL may be particularly challenging for minoritized leaders. This research advances knowledge by contextualizing AL for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) leaders who represent a unique minoritized group. Using qualitative data from 23 LGBT individuals in various leadership positions, we examine, via an abductive approach, how they try to enact AL within their role. Our first contribution, developed through template analysis, is that we enhance knowledge about the challenges and opportunities that AL presents for LGBT leaders. Our second contribution is that we build upon our template to create a new framework that advances a contextualized understanding of AL for LGBT leaders. In doing so, we introduce three theoretical propositions and identify important avenues for future research that further explore how context shapes AL behaviour, how AL is subjectively interpreted and experienced by leaders themselves, as well as in how AL scholarship can better consider issues around inclusion. Our results highlight the importance of organizations in helping LGBT leaders manage the unique challenges they experience with AL, such as through tailored leadership development and a positive diversity climate.

Parasocial interaction (PSI) and parasocial relationship (PSR) are important and widespread phenomena in both offline and online marketing. While extensive, prior work on PSI and PSR is riddled with inconsistencies and needs an updated perspective. First, research needs to establish whether and why PSI and PSR represent different concepts with unique characteristics. Furthermore, the conceptualization of PSI and PSR remains predominantly rooted in offline contexts, despite the shift in media consumption toward online platforms. By systematically reviewing 233 peer-reviewed journal articles published between 1956 and 2023, this study provides a nuanced perspective on the evolution of PSI and PSR in offline and online environments. Theoretically, it contributes to the literature by proposing seven key criteria to differentiate PSI from PSR in offline and online contexts, as well as offering new conceptualizations of PSI and PSR in the online environment. Using the Theories–Characteristics–Contexts–Methods (TCCM) framework, this work presents a comprehensive overview of the current state of research and discusses future research directions.

Automated service agents with different levels of artificial intelligence (AI) - mechanical, analytical, and emotional - are gradually replacing employees in their interactions with customers. Previous research suggests that these agents (e.g., chatbots) should embed human behavioral traits such as warmth, competence, and even automated social presence (i.e., perceiving that one is interacting with someone else). However, it is unknown whether different levels of AI are perceived by customers as features increasing humanness and, subsequently, leading to higher functional, monetary, social, or emotional value. Through an experimental design based on tourism chatbots, the results from structural equation analysis reveal that whereas mechanical AI decreases automated social presence, analytical AI increases perceptions of competence and warmth, and emotional AI improves all humanness cues. The article merges the research streams of service agent design and customers’ perceptions of humanness to guide tourism managers in implementing generative AI agents to increase service value.
