Evidence of an increasingly dynamic market forces companies to look for new ways to respond, given that traditional supply chain management systems are increasingly more vulnerable in their needs. In this sense, we have seen a paradigm shift at the industrial level with the emergence of new concepts from Industry 4.0 to improve productivity and process efficiency. However, their implementation in companies can be an expensive and time-consuming process, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises. This work presents a perspective for optimization algorithms in the context of Industry 4.0. With new methods and models, simultaneously integrating traditional supply chain processes, it is possible to find good solutions (globally optimal), in real time and with an investment cost more proportional to the reality of each company. It may, therefore, be an alternative to mitigate the discrepancy between companies of quite different sizes.

This study investigates the literary corpus on the impact of disruptive technologies on intangible factors; in particular, it analyzes trends in management accounting systems that involve aspects of the intellectual capital employed in innovation-oriented performance. The study discusses whether Integrated Reporting (IR) and Integrated Thinking (IT) contribute to disseminating IC, verifying how knowledge management systems can guide business processes towards innovation and the use of disruptive technologies. A bibliometric analysis of a database containing 115 articles in English language publications was conducted between 2006 and 2020, which offers a map of the knowledge produced and circulated by past studies. It gives insights into publication activities, prominent themes, citation trends, and state of collaborations among the contributors of past studies and aggregate contributions to the area of disruptive technologies studies. The study offers a retrospective analysis of the content published in disruptive technologies. The results indicate that field research has focused mainly on intellectual capital, integrated reporting, integrated thinking. The study outlines the importance of implementing IC diffusion models through KMS in organizations oriented to digital innovation.

The aim of this paper is to test the impact of ESG strategies (Environmental, Social, and Governance) on firm’s dividend payout policy. In particular, analyzing Chinese listed companies through OLS analysis we found a general negative impact of ESG practices on dividend payout policies. We tested all three components of ESG strategies to understand how they can influence the firm’s decision between investments in sustainable and social practices or payment of liquidity to shareholders. Overall, our findings underlined that investment related to ESG has an impact on shareholders’ wealth decreasing the dividend payout.

The focal point of this paper lies in whether Financial Technology (FinTech) will change the financial system in a manner that will behoove the banking system, in terms of stability and profitability. With this rationale, we attempt to comprehend FinTech drivers and its potential effects focusing on the European banking system. We test our hypotheses employing a panel GLS analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data, spanning the period 2015-2018 and pertaining to a sample of 1,250 banks located within the European Union (EU), examining a total of 5,000 useful observations. The results of our study highlight financial innovation’s impact on leverage, bank organization and earning margins. We provide a series of practical recommendations for regulators and European commercial banks with the aim to strengthen their position in financial innovation and monitor the associated risks. This study aims to bridge a gap in existing literature regarding the multiple facets of impact that technological innovations generate on the banking sector, with specific reference to the European banking system

Hackathons are events that bring together people with diverse backgrounds and expertise in a single location over a limited time to develop disruptive ideas and artifacts. The skyrocketing success of Hackathons across various domains and sectors is due to the opportunities they offer to leverage the creative and Intellectual capacity of the crowd, and to develop new relationships, skills, knowledge, solutions, and processes. However, Hackathons’ potential in relation to Intellectual Capital (IC) has been overlooked by the literature so far, and few studies focus on their outcomes and evaluation. This study addresses this issue by conceptualizing Hackathons as ephemeral adhocracies whose value proposition includes the (re)generation of IC at the system level. Based on this conceptualization, we leverage the authors’ participant observation through active involvement in 57 Hackathons globally with various roles (i.e., participant, mentor, facilitator, jury, and organizer) between 2014-2020. Through iterative qualitative analysis carried out on the literature and empirical material, we identify 32 distinctive critical attributes through which Hackathons may differ from one another. We leverage the literature and the empirical material to highlight how each of these 32 attributes may influence the three key dimensions of IC (i.e., Human, Relational, and Structural). Our analysis offers a framework that can be useful for practitioners when approaching Hackathons and serve as a foundation for design and evaluation instruments, while opening the way for future research on Hackathons as emerging organizational forms specifically devoted to IC (re)generation.

The disassembly of products is a crucial process step in remanufacturing. Due to the high complexity caused by different variants and conditions of the used products to be dismantled, disassembly in remanufacturing has in general a low degree of automation. At present, employees are usually supported by static instructions and descriptions, which are often ambiguous and therefore may lead to errors. Augmented reality (AR) can reduce these disadvantages by guiding employees systematically through the disassembly process, taking the positioning and orientation of employee and product into account. However, SMEs in particular shy away from using AR applications to support disassembly processes, both because of concerns about high costs and insufficient programming expertise.Software Development Kits (SDK) are a possible solution to implement AR applications with rather low effort and costs. Therefore, a suitable SDK was selected, considering costs and functional scope. Using a practical example, the results of different tracking possibilities and illuminance levels are compared. Finally, the applicability to support disassembly processes with an AR application is demonstrated using an example product.

Sukuk are the most popular Islamic products and have experienced the most development and development since their launch. However, this market suffers from large numbers of obstacles and challenges that the Islamic financial community is committed to containing and solving them. The non-standardization of practices, the high costs of the issuing operation, and in particular the lack of diversity of investors and issuers of sukuk, which currently is limited to governments and large companies, are all among the main development challenges. of the sukuk market. Thus, and by their specificities which make it possible to stall this large number of obstacles, the "smart Sukuk" have become the future of emissions of sukuk in the Islamic financial industry. Their structure using blockchain and smart contract technology improves transparency and eliminates fraud and speculation in sukuk transactions. This new way of issuing sukuk has also been designed to avoid the participation of intermediaries and save their additional costs, which is currently one of the main obstacles to the development of the current sukuk market. In our article, we are committed to studying the central question: Blockchain and smart sukuk, are they a new determinant of development of the sukuk market? Thus, we will present the smart sukuk, their application methods, their current uses and we will focus on their specificities which allow to overcome the current obstacles of the development of the sukuk market.

Agile innovation ecosystems are of great importance. To improve our understanding of the emergence, evolution and sustainability of innovation ecosystems there is a need for relational analysis methods. This article aligns with the call for innovation ecosystems to learn from other established research fields and move past mostly descriptive research. This is done through aligning ecosystems research with theories and methods that deal directly with how and why things change over time. Event-based research methods in which event sequences are explained in terms of causal mechanisms are a possible way forward. We use the case history of an mHealth application to show how one such method, Event Structure Analysis, can be used for investigating ecosystem dynamics. Understanding historical actor interactions and being able to analyse them is one way that innovation ecosystems can be proactively managed and thus made sustainable.

With the emergence of Industry 4.0 technologies, the manufacturing sector will need to adjust its structure, process and products to satisfy the requirements of this transformation. The manufacturing sector in the UAE plays an imperative part in its economic diversification efforts and the pursuit of sustainable economic growth and the government enacted many strategies to support the growth of this sector. This research proposes a framework for evaluating the readiness of the manufacturing sector for Industry 4.0 through a survey questionnaire. Preliminary results show that there is lack of knowledge about Industry 4.0 in general, and specifically when it comes to the potential benefits and expected changes brought by the transformation. The main driver behind implementing Industry 4.0 concept are pressure from rivals and market requirements. Also, certain level of Industry 4.0 technologies exists with the potential to increase the level of adoption. Moreover, there is a gap in the skillset needed for Industry 4.0 and no plans initiated to close this gap. Finally, surveyed companies are still developing their Industry 4.0 strategy and organization culture plays an important role in driving digital transformation.

The coronavirus outbreak identified in Wuhan, China brought the majority of countries in the world under lockdown. The socioeconomic consequences will be, without doubt, severe and enormous. In this paper, we investigate the sharing approach as a strategy to help reduce the heavy toll of the pandemic. A state of the art is provided to describe the virus propagation, the rationale behind the emergence of the sharing concept as well as its impact in a pandemic context. Finally, we suggest a list of recommendations for policy makers in order to attempt the endorsement of the sharing economy to enrich existing measures that have been taken in the same respect.
