Sustainable Development Goal 12 (SDG-12), that is the responsible consumption and production, is aimed to encourage producers and consumers to consider sustainable development while producing and consuming products. However, it is imperative to estimate the social achievement of SDG-12 objective at the consumption end. Eco-labeling and green advertising are the common business marketing strategies employed to inform and influence consumers to make environmentally conscious choices. This study explores the integrated factors of these strategies to influence consumer perceptions, attitudes, and purchase intentions toward environmentally friendly products in a developing country. The data from 327 respondents using a survey questionnaire are analyzed using structural model equation to measure the hypothetical relationship of eco-labeling and green advertising in achieving SDG-12. The results indicate that perceived effectiveness, environmental awareness, green trust, and perceived information quality as instrumental factors directly contributing to consumers' intentions to engage in green purchases eventually ensuring SDG-12 targets, while price sensitivity is the major challenge that is required to be addressed.

可持续发展目标 12(SDG-12),即负责任的消费和生产,旨在鼓励生产者和消费者在生产和消费产品时考虑可持续发展。然而,必须估算在消费终端实现可持续发展目标 12 的社会成就。生态标签和绿色广告是常见的商业营销策略,旨在告知和影响消费者做出具有环保意识的选择。本研究探讨了这些策略在发展中国家影响消费者对环保产品的认知、态度和购买意向的综合因素。本研究使用结构模型方程对 327 名受访者的调查问卷数据进行了分析,以衡量生态标签和绿色广告在实现可持续发展目标-12 方面的假设关系。结果表明,感知有效性、环境意识、绿色信任和感知信息质量是直接促进消费者参与绿色购买意图的工具性因素,最终确保实现 SDG-12 目标,而价格敏感性则是需要解决的主要挑战。

In an increasingly digital and interconnected world, the integration of advanced technologies such as robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and service automation has become pivotal for shaping the future of various industries, including tourism. The paper investigates complex relationship between three independent variables: (robotic adoption, AI adoption, and service automation adoption) and three dependent variables: (social sustainability, economic sustainability, and environmental sustainability). Employing a quantitative research approach, the study gathered data from 608 randomly selected tourism supply chain stakeholders using the Krejcie and Morgan table to determine the sample size. Data collection was facilitated through Google Forms questionnaires, and the analysis relied on structural equation modeling. The statistical findings highlight positive direct significant relationships among these variables, as evidenced by t-statistic values surpassing the threshold of 1.96. These values ranged from a minimum of 2.156 to a maximum of 10.083. These results suggest that by strategically integrating these technologies, tourism businesses and policymakers in Zimbabwe can enhance tourist experience, the industry's long-term viability and its positive impact on society, the economy, and the environment. This study's outcomes provide a compelling foundation for informed decision-making and the development of targeted strategies aimed at advancing sustainability objectives within the Zimbabwean tourism landscape.

The paper explores the partial and integrated influence of corporate sustainability practices on the financial execution of Indian-listed firms. The study considered a sample of 569 listed firms, and the study period spans from 2010 to 2022. Using estimates of feasible generalized least square and quintile regression, the study finds a positive association between the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) score and the financial performance of firms. All the individual dimensions of the ESG score positively affect the firm's internal and external values. Environmental practices have the highest impact on improving balance sheet values through return on asset (ROA). In contrast, social practices have the highest impact on creating market value through Tobin's Q (TQ) compared with other dimensions. However, for large firms, excess investment in ESG may not support their balance sheet through ROA but generates market value through TQ. ESG disclosers negatively impact the internal earnings of firms that are financially inflexible but, in the aggregate, support the firm's market value. In addition, the study finds a significant moderating effect of size, earnings, value, and financial flexibility on the association between ESG scores and the financial performance of the firms.

本文探讨了企业可持续发展实践对印度上市公司财务执行的部分和综合影响。研究以 569 家上市公司为样本,研究时间跨度为 2010 年至 2022 年。通过使用可行的广义最小二乘法和五分位回归估计,研究发现环境、社会和治理(ESG)得分与企业财务绩效之间存在正相关。环境、社会和治理得分的所有单个维度都会对企业的内部和外部价值产生积极影响。环境实践对通过资产回报率(ROA)提高资产负债表价值的影响最大。相比之下,与其他维度相比,社会实践对通过托宾 Q 值(TQ)创造市场价值的影响最大。然而,对于大型企业来说,在环境、社会和治理方面的过量投资可能无法通过资产回报率支持其资产负债表,但却能通过托宾 Q 值创造市场价值。披露环境、社会和公司治理信息的公司会对财务不灵活的公司的内部收益产生负面影响,但总体上会支持公司的市场价值。此外,研究还发现,企业规模、盈利、价值和财务灵活性对 ESG 分数与企业财务绩效之间的关联具有显著的调节作用。

In today's dynamic business milieu, the imperative of eco-consciousness in hospitality cannot be overstated. This study focuses on Lebanon's burgeoning hotel industry, investigating its journey towards sustainability. Through qualitative content analysis and interviews with eight hotel managers, we unveil a crucial revelation: the integration of green practices not only enhances customer satisfaction but also engenders loyalty and positive referrals. This strategic pivot not only bestows hotels with a competitive edge but also positions them as champions of eco-friendly experiences, resulting in tangible financial benefits and an expanded market share. Consequently, this fosters environmental sustainability within the sector, echoing its broader implications in environmental management discourse. Moreover, our research significantly contributes to institutional theory and stakeholder theory, offering valuable insights into the antecedents and consequences of green initiatives within organizational contexts. By delving into the intricate dynamics between institutional pressures and stakeholder expectations, the study provides a nuanced perspective on the drivers behind the adoption of sustainable practices in Lebanese hotels.

在当今充满活力的商业环境中,酒店业必须具有生态意识,这一点怎么强调都不为过。本研究以黎巴嫩蓬勃发展的酒店业为重点,调查其实现可持续发展的历程。通过定性内容分析和对八位酒店经理的访谈,我们揭示了一个重要的启示:绿色实践的整合不仅能提高客户满意度,还能吸引忠诚度和积极的推荐。这一战略转移不仅为酒店带来了竞争优势,还将其定位为环保体验的倡导者,从而带来切实的经济效益并扩大市场份额。因此,这促进了行业内的环境可持续发展,与环境管理论述中更广泛的含义相呼应。此外,我们的研究还对制度理论和利益相关者理论做出了重要贡献,对组织环境中绿色倡议的前因后果提供了宝贵的见解。通过深入研究制度压力和利益相关者期望之间错综复杂的动态关系,本研究为黎巴嫩酒店采用可持续发展实践背后的驱动因素提供了一个细致入微的视角。

In today's highly competitive global market, companies aim to improve their market position to ensure their competitiveness and survival. The adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies constitutes a good approach to enhancing processes and productivity while maintaining high-quality standards. This is where Quality 4.0 becomes crucial, as it focuses on boosting the quality of organisational processes through the integration of disruptive technologies from Industry 4.0. Furthermore, companies are prioritising implementing environmentally friendly practices in their processes that support sustainable development. Therefore, it is imperative to evaluate how the application of Quality 4.0 can ease production improvements with minimal environmental impact while also aligning with sustainable development goals. This article analyses how these initiatives can be used within the food industry, specifically those dedicated to the production and sale of a product, evaluating a microenterprise dedicated to the production of artisanal ice cream. A comprehensive framework is proposed for the adoption of Quality 4.0 and its potential to support sustainable development goals. Using the PDCA cycle, the original situation is evaluated to later recommend strategies and tools to create improvements in the enterprise.

在当今竞争激烈的全球市场上,企业的目标是提高其市场地位,以确保其竞争力和生存。采用工业 4.0 技术是在保持高质量标准的同时提高流程和生产力的好方法。这就是质量 4.0 的关键所在,因为它侧重于通过整合工业 4.0 的颠覆性技术来提高组织流程的质量。此外,企业正在优先考虑在其流程中实施支持可持续发展的环保做法。因此,当务之急是评估质量 4.0 的应用如何能够在最大限度减少环境影响的情况下促进生产改进,同时与可持续发展目标保持一致。本文分析了如何在食品行业,特别是致力于产品生产和销售的行业中使用这些举措,并对一家致力于生产手工冰淇淋的微型企业进行了评估。为采用质量 4.0 及其支持可持续发展目标的潜力提出了一个综合框架。利用 PDCA 循环,对原始情况进行评估,随后提出改进企业的战略和工具。

The study aspires to identify the factors conditioning the adaptation of the fourth industrial revolution (4IR) within the manufacturing industries in Bangladesh, embracing Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technology led by the technology-organizational-environment (TOE) framework that links a number of conditioning variables in the manufacturing industries of Bangladesh. I4.0 is going to drastically change the landscape of the extended TOE framework to relate demographics with research variables for implementing I4.0 technology in a developing country. The findings of the study are analyzed using SMART PLS SEM 4.0 and SPSS 29 in order to diagnose technological contexts (IT resource availability, technology readiness, and relative advantage), organizational contexts (strategy and leadership, organizational capabilities, and technology infrastructure), and environmental contexts (market pressure, government support, and technology innovation decision making). The study's data, which were collected with a bootstrap confidence range of 95%, offered evidence in favor of both proposed mediating effects. A statistically significant indirect effect of adaptation of I4.0 technology on manufacturing/industry performance was seen in the analysis. This study is conducted to examine the mediating function of manufacturing performance, which enhances the comprehensiveness of the study. Through the application of the TOE framework, this study investigates the impact of I4.0 technology adoption on manufacturing performance.

Sustainable production and consumption are the need of the hour. Adopting the Circular Economy (CE) approach fosters sustainable business practices. Cloud computing is a new way of storage and application deployment. Cloud computing enables sustainable business processes, which in turn contributes towards the effective implementation of the Circular Approach to Business Practices (CABP). The current study aims to understand the potential of cloud computing to foster circular economy practices in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). We conducted a Systematic review of 186 scholarly articles published in Web of Science (WOS), selected using the PRISMA framework. We conducted scientometric analysis on sources, authors and country level and thematic analysis to pinpoint further research areas. This was followed by a detailed literature review of the articles selected to study the concept and current practices of circular economy and an evaluation of its implementation in emerging economies. The paper proposes an integrated framework grounded in two approaches, that is, the Technology, Organization and Environment (TOE) framework and institutional isomorphism as determinants of cloud adoption and CE implementation. The proposed model explores the impact of institutional forces on the various parameters of TOE, thereby culminating in the adoption of Cloud Computing in SMEs. The study would encourage leaders and managers of SMEs to adopt cloud computing for competitive advantage and achieve a circular economy approach together. The adoption of cloud-based applications has a great potential to foster industrial and economic progress with minimum damage to the ecosystem, furthering sustainability and achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

可持续生产和消费是当务之急。采用循环经济(CE)方法可以促进可持续的商业实践。云计算是一种新的存储和应用部署方式。云计算实现了可持续的业务流程,这反过来又有助于有效实施商业实践循环方法 (CABP)。本研究旨在了解云计算在促进中小企业(SMEs)循环经济实践方面的潜力。我们采用 PRISMA 框架对发表在科学网(WOS)上的 186 篇学术论文进行了系统回顾。我们对文章来源、作者和国家层面进行了科学计量分析,并进行了专题分析,以确定进一步的研究领域。随后,我们对所选文章进行了详细的文献综述,以研究循环经济的概念和当前实践,并对其在新兴经济体的实施情况进行评估。本文提出了一个以技术、组织和环境(TOE)框架和制度同构这两种方法为基础的综合框架,作为采用云技术和实施循环经济的决定因素。所提出的模型探讨了制度力量对技术、组织和环境(TOE)各种参数的影响,从而最终导致中小企业采用云计算。这项研究将鼓励中小企业的领导者和管理者采用云计算来获得竞争优势,共同实现循环经济。采用基于云计算的应用程序在促进工业和经济进步方面具有巨大潜力,同时可将对生态系统的破坏降至最低,促进可持续性并实现可持续发展目标(SDGs)。

This paper responds to calls for research and conceptualizes resilience, responsiveness and reconfigurable (3Rs) capabilities required for handling disruptions in pre-disruption, during disruption and post-disruption stages. This paper examined the impact of analytics on 3Rs capabilities in the supply chain context building on the tenets of contingency theory. Drawing on survey data obtained from individuals with managerial positions in firms operating in the United Arab Emirates (n = 151), this study investigates how supply chain analytics foster 3Rs capacities in the face of a pandemic using canonical correlation and linear regression analyses. Supply chain analytics is a relevant predictor for supply chain (i) resilience, (ii) responsiveness, and (iii) restoration/reconfiguration. Inevitable supply chain disruptions call for investment and integration of digital tools like supply chain analytics because they offer timely information for informed decision-making. This work provides theoretical contributions to the domain of interest by exploring the role of supply chain analytics on the 3Rs capabilities.

本文响应了研究呼吁,并对在中断前、中断期间和中断后阶段处理中断所需的复原力、响应力和可重构(3Rs)能力进行了概念化。本文以突发事件理论为基础,研究了分析对供应链中 3Rs 能力的影响。本研究利用从在阿拉伯联合酋长国运营的公司中担任管理职位的个人(n = 151)获得的调查数据,采用典型相关分析和线性回归分析,研究了供应链分析如何在大流行病面前促进 3Rs 能力。供应链分析是供应链(i)应变能力、(ii)响应能力和(iii)恢复/重组能力的相关预测因素。不可避免的供应链中断要求对供应链分析等数字工具进行投资和整合,因为它们能为知情决策提供及时信息。这项工作通过探索供应链分析对 3R 能力的作用,为相关领域做出了理论贡献。
