The present study attempts to theorize the phenomenon of empowerment of marginalized women in the context of social enterprises involved in sustainable business practices. To extract the deeper meaning of empowerment of such women, an inductive process using Gioia’s method was employed by interviewing 13 marginalized women working in the social enterprise ‘Phool’. The venture is involved in recycling sacred floral waste into incense sticks, organic fertilizers, and other sustainable packaging solutions. The findings of the study were built on the Social Identity Theory, which emphasizes the fundamental need to be a part of social groups. Our findings suggest that for marginalized women, empowerment manifests in dignity and honour, economic sovereignty and social admittance and embracement. The study contributes to the extant literature on women’s empowerment by intersecting with the phenomenon of marginalization in the context of social enterprise and explains how marginalized women experience empowerment at work.

Scholars are increasingly assessing virtual leadership in terms of whether this new way of leading is significantly different from the existing ways of leading or not, and if it is significantly different, what are the key dimensions to study. The current review on virtual leadership synthesizes the knowledge around the ADO-TCM (antecedents, decisions, outcomes, theories, contexts and methods) framework. Based on the previous studies, we provided further insights into the research gaps and the scope for future research. We adopted bibliometric analysis and framework-based systematic review to organize the existing literature on virtual leadership to create meaningful knowledge around virtual leadership. Apart from important bibliometrics, ADO-TCM framework-based SLR offers seven important themes catering to antecedents (2), decisions (3), outcomes (2), theories, contexts and methods. The current study is unique in the virtual leadership domain, wherein we have used the amalgamation of ADO and TCM frameworks to draw an enhanced understanding of virtual leadership.

Over the past two decades, there has been a remarkable increase in research endeavours in exploring behavioural biases within the context of investment decision-making. This growth can be attributed to the growing interest and publication efforts of academic scholars. The objective of this study is to conduct a systematic literature review (SLR) of the existing academic literature on the influence of behavioural biases on investment decisions (ID), utilizing bibliometric tools. Initially, a corpus of approximately 124 research papers was gathered by conducting a keyword search in the Scopus database. These papers were then subjected to inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in a final selection of 82 papers for in-depth analysis. Bibliometric analysis was conducted using VOS-viewer software, which identified the most prolific articles, authors and journals in the field. Moreover, a thematic analysis was performed to identify six clusters of author keywords, which were further grouped into three broader themes. This process shed light on the connections and patterns prevalent in the study of behavioural biases in investment decision-making. Crucially, keywords with the lowest link strength and co-occurrences played a vital role in identifying potential areas for future research. Additionally, the study identified approximately 50 research articles published from 30 top journals with the highest citations and h-index for further investigation. By following this systematic process, the study not only highlights gaps in the existing literature but also provides valuable insights for future endeavours. Ultimately, this study serves as a roadmap for guiding further investigations in the field of behavioural biases and their influence on ID. By delving into the relationships and themes surrounding these biases, the research aims to contribute significantly to the advancement of knowledge in this domain.
过去二十年来，在投资决策背景下探索行为偏差的研究工作显著增加。这种增长可归因于学术界学者日益增长的兴趣和发表的努力。本研究的目的是利用文献计量学工具，对有关行为偏差对投资决策（ID）影响的现有学术文献进行系统的文献综述（SLR）。首先，通过在 Scopus 数据库中进行关键词搜索，收集了约 124 篇研究论文。然后对这些论文进行了纳入和排除标准，最终选择了 82 篇论文进行深入分析。利用 VOS-viewer 软件进行了文献计量分析，确定了该领域中最多产的文章、作者和期刊。此外，还进行了主题分析，确定了六组作者关键词，并将其进一步归纳为三个更广泛的主题。这一过程揭示了投资决策行为偏差研究中普遍存在的联系和模式。最重要的是，链接强度和共现次数最低的关键词在确定未来研究的潜在领域方面发挥了至关重要的作用。此外，本研究还从 30 种顶级期刊中确定了约 50 篇引用率和 h 指数最高的研究文章，供进一步研究。通过这一系统化的过程，本研究不仅突出了现有文献中的空白，还为今后的工作提供了宝贵的见解。最终，本研究将成为指导行为偏差及其对 ID 影响领域进一步研究的路线图。通过深入研究围绕这些偏见的关系和主题，本研究旨在为促进该领域的知识发展做出重要贡献。

The nature of work has immensely changed in the last few years and so are the workforce expectations. Employees are steadily reassessing why and where they work. Even amidst workplace upheavals, they are in dire search for a sense of purpose to align themselves with that of their firms, whereas organizations still feel that employees sense transaction rather than appreciation. Thereby working with two opposite thoughts and feelings, companies have overlooked the essentials of employee well-being. Here, the role of positive outlook/perspectives of a firm emerge as a vital facet that can help to sustain authentic and motivating experiences at work. Thus positive sustainability at workplace can satiate the employees’ want for social cohesion, trust and purpose. The present work is a multi-case study on four construction firms of West Bengal who were eager to design moments that reflected sustenance of positive aspects amidst all odds. The study revealed five crucial elements of positive sustainability (going beyond the pursuit of perfection, fostering learning agility and grit, mindful gratitude, managing energy rather than time, trust is crucial) which the firms have restored over time. Such aspects have brought about unique transformation at work and lead to resourcefulness.

Research on the influence of traditions and religion on cultural entrepreneurship usually focuses on how religion and tradition support entrepreneurial activity. The questions of how traditional ideas and religion can support cultural entrepreneurship remain outside the scope of much research. To understand this phenomenon, where through entrepreneurship the symbols and structures of the national tradition, as well as the religious aspects of the ethnic group, are recreated, an ethnographic study was carried out. In the context of the study, an important place is occupied by the fact that we are considering a period equally divided into a 30-year hibernation of culture (during Soviet rule) and its dynamic revival with Kazakhstan’s independence. In the process of inductive research, a dynamic model of the process was identified, highlighting the factors of accumulation of material within the culture and starting the process of its working and retransmission. This model shows how cultural hibernation served as a trigger for the launch of the process of restoring culture and supporting the national heritage through entrepreneurship. During the period of special intolerance of the Soviet authorities, entering into suspended animation was able to preserve traditions in a state of non-manifestation, creating a shell for the accumulation of all centuries of experience. Gradually, this shell became permeable, and the process of cultural dynamics began. There the skills built in by the environment were transformed into actions and demonstrated through active practices. Thus, the relaying of cultural material could become the basis for supporting religion and tradition through cultural entrepreneurship. The study proposes to consider entrepreneurship as a means of preserving the intangible and material (through objects and processes) cultural heritage, which carries both archaic symbols and constructs and is clothed in a new layer of modern ethnic symbols.

Scholars of entrepreneurship among people with disabilities suggest that it is necessary to develop deeper insights into the contextual elements that enable or oppose such entrepreneurship. This study problematizes a core premise of the disability entrepreneurship literature that social support, institutional support or both enact disability entrepreneurship. This study modifies the premise by examining a case from the contextual scenario of a post-Soviet country where both societal and institutional attention to disability are largely inadequate and unfavourable. This case study concerns a blind female dancer in Kazakhstan who developed herself into a successful cultural entrepreneur. This inductive study proposes a process model which is labelled resilient tightroping, a model that enables a person with a disability to move towards empowerment and inclusion. The author is well aware that one cannot generalize from a single case. On the other hand, a single case can identify a deficiency in current thinking and point to additional directions where research is needed.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have recently been discovered to function as catalysts for globalization. However, despite the increasing interest in the internationalization of SMEs, doing business in another country offers its own unique set of challenges that must be overcome if an SME’s international venture is to be successful. For sectors where operational efficiency is necessary and there are added pressures due to cultural differences in consumer behaviour (e.g., fast-food chains), managing the operations process is essential for ensuring success and growth. Furthermore, the export of the conventional business model becomes complicated because of the significant variations in brand localization requirements across nations, which force businesses to make significant changes to cater to local client preferences. Given this scenario, how can an SME identify and adjust the critical barriers towards deciding and acting on foreign market entry and exit? To answer this question, we looked for a theoretical sample (case) of a business that successfully entered and operated in some markets and exited from others within the same period. In this investigation, we examine the Russian pizza company Dodo Pizza’s exodus from China and the UK as compared to their successful operations in Kazakhstan using Eisenhardt’s comparative case methodology. We use each country’s operations as a case in this research and apply Eisenhardt’s comparative case methodology to identify and theorize the factors of national context essential to the organization’s actions and outcomes in a given country.

For the last two years, it has been our constant endeavour to publish cases covering emerging phenomena that are gaining prominence in mainstream management literature. As the complexity in the world increases, theories on intersectionality—‘the interconnected nature of social categorizations such as race, class, and gender as they apply to a given individual or group, regarded as creating overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination or disadvantage’ (Lockwood, 2017)—are steadily demanding due attention. Similarly, as both nationalism and globalization continue to interplay, decolonization practises towards ‘cultural, psychological, and economic freedom for Indigenous people with the goal of achieving Indigenous sovereignty’ (Community-Based Global Learning Collaborative, n.d.) take centre stage. In addition, different facets of entrepreneurship, especially in developing economies, continue to surprise as well as excite us. In the editorial board meetings, we often wondered, ‘Could there be regions that could offer case studies at the intersection of intersectionality, decolonization and emerging economies?’ The discovery and exploratory orientation finally landed us in Central Asia, and we sincerely wished to collaborate with the local scholars and institutes to dive deeper into the phenomenon and identify works that would help our journal offer deeper insights into the phenomenon. We found Central Asia to be a rich mine for Case Study research. As per Wikipedia:

A case study of Art-Shelter Bunker theatre explores the fascinating story of how a traumatic event, a dog bite, inspired the creation of a successful theatre company. Drawing on a narrative inquiry approach, we examine the personal experiences and reflections of the theatre company’s founder, who, after being bitten by a dog, underwent a profound transformation that ultimately led to the creation of a unique and impactful theatre company. Our examination underscores the significance of trauma and resilience within the dynamic model of the creative process, underscoring the crucial role that personal narrative plays in shaping artistic expression. Through this inquiry, we hope to better understand the complex and multifaceted relationship between personal experience, trauma, and creativity.

The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore perceptions of a management control system (MCS) in a post-acquisition integration context through sense-making using interpretive case study methodology. The study draws from the theories of the two types of bureaucratic formalization, sense-making in organizations and MCSs. The study material consists of semi-structured interviews with the managers at the corporate, divisional, and business unit levels. At the time of the study, the case company was growing through several acquisitions per year, which created constant challenges with post-acquisition integration and a need for more formal MCS. The article shows how the backgrounds of the acquired business units are related to the perceptions of the MCS. We found that the identity threat and retrospection were properties of sense-making that explained the business unit managers’ attitudes towards the corporate MCS. Particularly prior experiences of production-centred line-manager positions in small entrepreneurial firms seem to foster coercive perceptions of MCS. The results of this study contribute to MCS literature.
