As Bitcoin (BTC) continues to gain traction, its energy consumption and potential environmental impact have sparked considerable debate within the scientific community. In this paper, we explore the theoretical underpinnings of BTC blockchain infrastructure and BTC mining as potent instruments for resource monetization, giving rise to innovative digital business models. In particular, we explore the complex relationship between BTC mining and sustainable energy practices, reframing BTC mining from an energy-intensive activity to a potential catalyst for sustainable value creation. Based on a sound methodological approach that relies upon case study analysis, grounded theory and Causal Loop Diagrams (CLDs) we investigate BTC mining's potential as a resource monetization instrument. According to the results, it is clear that BTC mining can absorb excess energy, balance energy grids and support renewable energy integration, ultimately contributing to environmental sustainability and economic efficiency. The findings suggest that BTC mining, when integrated with advanced technologies and unused energy from renewable or stranded sources, creates new business opportunities that align economic incentives with sustainability goals. The research contributes to the ongoing debate about BTC's environmental impact by offering an alternative perspective: that BTC mining can, under the right conditions, promote cleaner energy use and reduce the carbon footprint of energy production. The paper provides valuable insights for policymakers, industry stakeholders and researchers interested in the intersection of BTC mining industry and blockchain-based digital business models.

随着比特币（BTC）继续获得牵引力，其能源消耗和潜在的环境影响在科学界引发了相当大的争论。在本文中，我们探讨了BTC区块链基础设施和BTC挖矿作为资源货币化的有力工具的理论基础，从而产生了创新的数字商业模式。特别是，我们探索了比特币挖矿与可持续能源实践之间的复杂关系，将比特币挖矿从能源密集型活动重新定义为可持续价值创造的潜在催化剂。基于基于案例研究分析、扎根理论和因果循环图（cld）的可靠方法，我们调查了比特币挖矿作为资源货币化工具的潜力。根据研究结果，很明显，比特币挖矿可以吸收多余的能源，平衡能源网络，支持可再生能源的整合，最终有助于环境的可持续性和经济效率。研究结果表明，当与先进技术和来自可再生能源或搁浅资源的未使用能源相结合时，比特币挖矿创造了新的商业机会，使经济激励与可持续发展目标保持一致。这项研究通过提供另一种观点，为正在进行的关于比特币对环境影响的辩论做出了贡献：在适当的条件下，比特币挖矿可以促进更清洁的能源使用，减少能源生产的碳足迹。本文为政策制定者、行业利益相关者和对比特币采矿业和基于区块链的数字商业模式的交叉点感兴趣的研究人员提供了有价值的见解。

Fintech has emerged as a transformative force in the financial industry, promoting inclusivity and efficiency. This study aims to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of 1416 articles sourced from the Scopus database to map the evolution of fintech research. Employing the PRISMA methodology and VOS viewer software, we identify influential authors, key citations, and leading journals in this domain. Our findings indicate a significant increase in fintech research output since 2015, with China and the UK being the foremost contributors. Notably, the UK leads with the highest average citations per article, underscoring its research quality. Prominent journals identified include Sustainability (Switzerland) and IEEE Access. Despite this growth, our analysis reveals critical gaps in literature regarding financial inclusion, digital finance, and sustainability, which are vital for serving underbanked populations and advancing green finance initiatives. Furthermore, research on emerging technologies such as AI, blockchain, and robo-advisors remains limited, presenting substantial opportunities for future exploration. This study highlights the globalization of fintech research through contributions from diverse countries and outlines key trends shaping the field. It not only assesses the current landscape but also raises pertinent research questions to guide future investigations. While limited to articles from Scopus, this analysis serves as a crucial roadmap for future research directions.

The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the existing body of research on digital platforms by adopting an ecosystem perspective and considering an established framework. Through our work, we synthesize previous findings related to digital platforms and provide new insights into their ecosystem design. To achieve this, we conducted a comprehensive literature review to identify and synthesize relevant findings. Using this framework, we conducted a qualitative content analysis that allowed us to derive design recommendations and aggregate related design themes from the reviewed publications. The results of our study reveal a detailed framework that includes various design topics tailored to different stakeholders within the platform ecosystem. In practical terms, our findings provide valuable guidance to practitioners to help them make informed design and resource allocation decisions in the context of complex transformation projects. The identified themes synthesize the activities necessary to develop a platform's ecosystem and can be viewed as a basic design framework. This framework can serve as a playbook for practitioners seeking to navigate digital transformation processes toward platform-based models. Given the critical role of platform design in both academic and practical domains, this study aims to synthesize existing research on digital platforms and offer a framework that considers possible design topics from a business ecosystem perspective. This contribution is particularly important given the growing importance of platform ecosystems in today's digital economy.

Recent developments in big data analytics (BDA) enable financial institutions to optimize their decision-making processes. However, many BDA projects fail due to a lack of understanding of the value related to the realisation process. Guided by affordance actualisation theory, this article uses a critical realist case study approach to examine BDA affordance actualisation in a Malaysian-owned regional bank. Data collection involved an online survey, semi-structured interviews, and archival reviews. Using four BDA affordances specific to the banking industry, along with contextual mechanisms shaping organisational actions, interactions, and structures, our study highlights the importance the process of building BDA capabilities to realise BDA value. By highlighting the iterative and dynamic nature of the affordance actualisation process, this research extends theoretical insights into how organisations build BDA capabilities to realise value.This multi-layered research provides practitioners in banking and other sectors with actionable insights to enhance BDA implementation and realise its potential value.

大数据分析（BDA）的最新发展使金融机构能够优化其决策过程。然而，由于缺乏对与实现过程相关的价值的理解，许多BDA项目失败了。在承诺实现理论的指导下，本文采用批判现实主义的案例研究方法来研究马来西亚拥有的区域银行的BDA承诺实现。数据收集包括在线调查、半结构化访谈和档案回顾。利用银行业特有的四种BDA功能，以及形成组织行动、互动和结构的上下文机制，我们的研究强调了构建BDA能力以实现BDA价值过程的重要性。通过强调功能实现过程的迭代性和动态性，本研究将理论见解扩展到组织如何构建BDA能力以实现价值。这项多层次的研究为银行业和其他行业的从业者提供了可操作的见解，以加强BDA的实施并实现其潜在价值。

Because the Chinese movie market is regarded as the second-largest market worldwide, with digital advertising accounting for more than 50 % of a film's total expenditure, exploring the marketing effects of social platforms on box office performance in China is crucial for Hollywood studios. In this study, we defined a sequential process consisting of two marketing modes: broadcast before theatrical release and electronic word of mouth (eWOM) after release. The broadcast and eWOM modes were proxied by the volume and valence attributes of Maoyan and Douban, the two popular and professional platforms for video entertainment.

Volume and valence on Maoyan and Douban were found to influence gross revenue, but volume on Maoyan has the highest predictive power. Marketing on Maoyan is primarily broadcast marketing, whereas that on Douban is only eWOM marketing. Additionally, Hollywood hits depend on sequential marketing to succeed. Distributors should allocate resources to increase the volume on Maoyan before a movie is released and volume and valence on Douban after its release.

由于中国电影市场被视为全球第二大市场，数字广告占电影总支出的50%以上，因此探索社交平台对中国票房表现的营销效果对好莱坞电影公司至关重要。在本研究中，我们定义了一个由两种营销模式组成的顺序过程：影院上映前的广播和上映后的电子口碑（eom）。直播和eom模式由猫眼和豆瓣这两大热门专业视频娱乐平台的体量和价格属性来代表。猫眼网和豆瓣网的成交量和价对总营收有影响，但猫眼网的成交量对总营收的预测能力最强。猫眼的营销主要是直播营销，豆瓣的营销主要是eom营销。此外，好莱坞大片的成功依赖于连续营销。发行商应该分配资源，在电影上映前增加猫眼的量，在电影上映后增加豆瓣的量和价。

This study focused on the factors enabling digital transformation and the digitization of management functions in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Empirical evidence was derived from case studies involving 22 incumbent SMEs. The findings indicate that while employee capabilities and digital know-how are essential enablers of digital transformation, they also present challenges, including skill gaps, resistance to change, and reliance on legacy systems. To facilitate effective digital transformation, we propose that SMEs enhance technological skills within their workforce, cultivate innovation-friendly cultures, and address the disconnect between public discourse and actual digital tool adoption. Companies should adopt a cautious approach when integrating new technologies, emphasizing sustainable and human-centric transition. Furthermore, developing leadership skills that promote data-driven decision-making, collaborative problem-solving, and adaptive management is crucial. This study provides valuable insights into the dual role of employee capabilities in both facilitating and obstructing digital transformation within SMEs, offering guidance on strategies to successfully overcome the challenges that this transformation brings.

本研究的重点是中小企业数字化转型和管理职能数字化的因素。实证证据来自涉及22家现有中小企业的案例研究。调查结果表明，虽然员工能力和数字专业知识是数字化转型的重要推动因素，但它们也带来了挑战，包括技能差距、变革阻力和对遗留系统的依赖。为了促进有效的数字化转型，我们建议中小企业提高员工的技术技能，培养创新文化，并解决公众话语与实际数字工具采用之间的脱节。企业在整合新技术时应采取谨慎的态度，强调可持续和以人为本的转型。此外，培养促进数据驱动决策、协作解决问题和适应性管理的领导技能至关重要。本研究对员工能力在促进和阻碍中小企业数字化转型中的双重作用提供了有价值的见解，并为成功克服数字化转型带来的挑战提供了战略指导。

Digital currencies, including Bitcoins, Ethereum, and others, are an established alternative asset class opted by individual and institutional investors worldwide. However, this digital asset class carries several inherent risks. This study investigates the influence of three key risks, including liquidity risk, cyber risk, and regulatory risk, on the reinvestment intentions of investors. Data was collected from global crypto investors via a questionnaire and analyzed using PLS structural equation modeling. The study further used Investors' risk tolerance as a moderating variable. The findings of the study reveal that a significant and negative relationship exists between liquidity risk, cyber risk, regulatory risk, and investors' reinvestment intentions. Interestingly, investors with high-risk tolerance levels seem less affected by cyber security concerns, as they are more capable of absorbing or overlooking such risks. On the other hand, liquidity and regulatory risks appear to affect all types of investors irrespective of their risk tolerance level. This study bridges an important research gap by providing clear evidence on how these specific risks influence reinvestment decisions in the growing crypto market. It highlights the critical need for effective risk management strategies and stronger regulatory frameworks to address cyber vulnerabilities, tackle liquidity issues, and offer regulatory clarity. Taking these steps are essential for boosting investor confidence and encouraging their sustained involvement in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

数字货币，包括比特币、以太坊等，是全球个人和机构投资者选择的一种成熟的另类资产类别。然而，这种数字资产类别存在一些固有风险。本研究探讨流动性风险、网络风险和监管风险三种关键风险对投资者再投资意愿的影响。通过问卷调查从全球加密投资者中收集数据，并使用PLS结构方程模型进行分析。本研究进一步将投资者的风险承受能力作为调节变量。研究发现，流动性风险、网络风险、监管风险与投资者再投资意愿之间存在显著的负相关关系。有趣的是，高风险容忍度较高的投资者似乎不太受网络安全担忧的影响，因为他们更有能力吸收或忽视此类风险。另一方面，流动性和监管风险似乎影响到所有类型的投资者，无论他们的风险承受能力如何。这项研究通过提供明确的证据来证明这些特定风险如何影响不断增长的加密市场中的再投资决策，从而弥合了一个重要的研究空白。报告强调，迫切需要有效的风险管理战略和更强有力的监管框架，以解决网络脆弱性、解决流动性问题，并提供监管透明度。采取这些措施对于增强投资者信心和鼓励他们持续参与加密货币生态系统至关重要。
