Energy plays a vital role in every aspect of the economy and in recent years renewable energy is highly debated for its pros and cons. While renewable energy consumption is important for sustainable growth and reduction of environmental damage it has some negative effects on the industrial production. The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between renewable energy consumption, financial development and industrial output for Turkey. Annual data between 1980 and 2019 were used in the study. Fractional Fourier Augmented Dickey-Fuller Unit Root Test and the Fourier Autoregressive Distributed Lag Bound Tests were used to analyze the relationship between variables. As a result of the study, a positive relationship was found between financial development and renewable energy consumption, while a negative relationship was found between industrial output and renewable energy consumption. Our empirical findings have important policy implications. According to these policy implications, the focus should be on a green-based economy with various subsidies, selective taxation procedures and incentive policies to increase the demand for renewable energy use.
能源在经济的方方面面都起着至关重要的作用,近年来,可再生能源的利弊备受争议。虽然可再生能源消费对可持续增长和减少环境破坏非常重要,但它对工业生产也有一些负面影响。本研究旨在探讨土耳其可再生能源消费、金融发展和工业产出之间的关系。研究使用的是 1980 年至 2019 年的年度数据。在分析变量之间的关系时,使用了分位数傅立叶增量迪基-富勒单位根检验和傅立叶自回归分布滞后边界检验。研究结果表明,金融发展与可再生能源消费之间存在正相关关系,而工业产出与可再生能源消费之间存在负相关关系。我们的实证研究结果具有重要的政策含义。根据这些政策影响,重点应放在以绿色为基础的经济上,通过各种补贴、选择性税收程序和激励政策来增加对可再生能源使用的需求。

Global challenges such as climate change, the Covid-19 pandemic, and geopolitical instability have driven organizations to embed sustainability into their strategies and operations, moving away from the profit-driven mindset to a broader emphasis on societal value. Sustainability, today a widespread concept in academia and business, requires balancing social, environmental, and economic responsibilities to achieve long-term success. Embracing the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) model, organizations aim for profit while also positively impacting society and the environment. However, there is a prevailing tendency to emphasize rights over responsibilities, a pattern that needs to shift in order to promote sustainability. This paper contributes to the body of knowledge on corporate sustainability by exploring its relationship with social responsibility. A bibliometric analysis was conducted on a sample of 9,378 documents processed using VOSviewer. The study examines the interplay between sustainability, social responsibility, and corporate sustainability, mapping out key concepts and visualizing their networks. Furthermore, the links to other key themes such as performance, management, innovation, strategy, governance, supply chain management, leadership, stakeholders, and others were also explored. Social-responsibility disclosure was also found to be an emergent topic in terms of organizational accountability and transparency.
气候变化、"Covid-19 "大流行病和地缘政治不稳定等全球性挑战促使企业将可持续发展纳入其战略和运营中,从利润驱动的思维模式转向更广泛地强调社会价值。如今,可持续发展已成为学术界和商界的一个普遍概念,它要求平衡社会、环境和经济责任,以实现长期成功。在三重底线(TBL)模式下,企业在追求利润的同时,也要对社会和环境产生积极影响。然而,目前普遍存在重权利、轻责任的倾向,为了促进可持续发展,需要转变这种模式。本文通过探讨企业可持续发展与社会责任的关系,为有关企业可持续发展的知识体系做出贡献。本文使用 VOSviewer 对 9378 篇文献样本进行了文献计量分析。研究探讨了可持续发展、社会责任和企业可持续发展之间的相互作用,绘制了关键概念图并将其网络可视化。此外,还探讨了与其他关键主题的联系,如绩效、管理、创新、战略、治理、供应链管理、领导力、利益相关者等。研究还发现,社会责任披露也是组织问责制和透明度方面的一个新出现的主题。

The purpose of the current paper is to study how customer loyalty varies in time according to customer segments and external factors. In the first part of the paper, the authors have reviewed in a funnel-like manner the relevant literature, starting with relationship marketing and customer relationship management theories, and ending with customer loyalty. To achieve the paper’s research purpose, buying behavior data (recency of last transaction, buying frequency and monetary value spent) from a company’s internal information system was analyzed for 2019 and 2020, respectively. RFM model was applied on the 2019 data and resulted in three segments: heavy, medium, and low users - segments which varied in their loyalty for the year 2020. Based on the obtained findings, the authors concluded that the more intense a customer’s buying behavior is, the higher their probability is of being loyal in the future. A second conclusion assumes that customers characterized by intense buying behavior are less vulnerable to external threats, the Covid-19 pandemic in our case.
本文旨在研究客户忠诚度如何随着客户群和外部因素的变化而变化。在论文的第一部分,作者以漏斗式的方式回顾了相关文献,从关系营销和客户关系管理理论开始,到客户忠诚度结束。为了实现本文的研究目的,作者分析了一家公司内部信息系统中的购买行为数据(上次交易的重复性、购买频率和花费的货币价值),这些数据分别来自 2019 年和 2020 年。RFM 模型应用于 2019 年的数据,得出了三个细分市场:重度用户、中度用户和低度用户--这些细分市场在 2020 年的忠诚度各不相同。根据研究结果,作者得出结论:客户的购买行为越强烈,他们未来忠诚的可能性就越高。第二个结论是,具有强烈购买行为特征的客户更不容易受到外部威胁的影响,在我们的案例中就是 Covid-19 大流行病。

Entry Mode in the Presence of International Outsourcing 国际外包情况下的进入模式
IF 0.6 Q3 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2024-05-21 DOI: 10.2478/sbe-2024-0017
Doriani Lingga, Damiana Simanjuntak
International outsourcing affects firms’ decisions in various ways. We develop a model to analyze the entry mode behavior of a foreign firm on entering a domestic market when international outsourcing takes place. Being vertically integrated, the foreign firm can either produce in-house input or (partially) outsource it from an outside input supplier. Such practices can be widely observed in real life, in which a firm may outsource some input despite being able to produce the input by itself for various strategic advantages. Depending on its strategy of obtaining input, we consider two entry modes, export and FDI, and derive conditions under which the foreign firm chooses one entry mode over the other. Among the findings, we present a case in which an increase in tariff may raise the likelihood of the foreign firm choosing export. The reason is that the tariff raises the input price and, hence, the rival’s marginal cost. Therefore, such a case prevails when the tariff is high enough to weaken the domestic firm but not too high that it harms the foreign firm. We feature several other interesting cases highlighting the roles of entry costs and in-house input production costs.
国际外包对企业决策的影响是多方面的。我们建立了一个模型来分析外国企业在国际外包发生时进入国内市场的进入模式行为。作为纵向一体化企业,外国企业既可以自己生产投入品,也可以从外部投入品供应商那里(部分)外购投入品。这种做法在现实生活中随处可见,尽管企业自身有能力生产,但出于各种战略优势,还是会将部分投入品外包出去。根据获取投入品的战略,我们考虑了出口和外国直接投资两种进入模式,并推导出外国企业选择其中一种进入模式的条件。在研究结果中,我们提出了一种情况,即关税的增加可能会提高外国企业选择出口的可能性。原因是关税提高了投入价格,从而提高了竞争对手的边际成本。因此,当关税高到足以削弱国内企业,但又不会高到损害外国企业时,这种情况就会出现。我们还介绍了其他几个有趣的案例,突出了进入成本和内部投入生产成本的作用。

Asymmetric Effects of Local and Global Business Cycle Variations on the Sectoral Industrial Production in Singapore 本地和全球商业周期变化对新加坡部门工业生产的不对称影响
IF 0.6 Q3 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2024-05-21 DOI: 10.2478/sbe-2024-0005

This paper investigates the sensitivities of Singapore’s sectoral industrial production to local and global business cycle variations using the auto-regressive distributed lag (ARDL) model in the nonlinear and asymmetric cointegration framework. By employing monthly time series data from Jan 1983 to Dec 2022 the study corroborates the commonly held view that durable industries are pro-cyclic to thelocal business cycle. However, the nature of cyclic sensitivity is different if viewed from a global perspective. Industries including pharmaceutical, computer, and motor vehicles industries flourish in both the local and global business cycle booms. Almost all industries having long-run linkages with global industrial production are also affected by global production growth in the short run. However, consistent with earlier studies for Southeast Asian countries, very few industries exhibit short-run asymmetries in their relationship with local and global business cycles. We found that incorporating long-run information also improves the forecasting ability of sectoral industrial production growth in Singapore.
本文采用非线性和非对称协整框架下的自回归分布滞后(ARDL)模型,研究了新加坡各部门工业生产对本地和全球商业周期变化的敏感性。通过采用 1983 年 1 月至 2022 年 12 月的月度时间序列数据,该研究证实了持久性工业对本地商业周期具有顺周期性的普遍观点。然而,如果从全球角度来看,周期敏感性的性质则有所不同。包括制药、计算机和汽车在内的行业在本地和全球商业周期繁荣时都会蓬勃发展。几乎所有与全球工业生产有长期联系的行业在短期内也会受到全球生产增长的影响。然而,与早先对东南亚国家的研究一致,很少有行业在与本地和全球商业周期的关系上表现出短期不对称。我们发现,纳入长期信息还能提高新加坡部门工业生产增长的预测能力。

This study evaluates the economic performance of plastics manufacturers in European regions (e.g., Western, Southern, Central and Eastern Europe, and the Baltic States) between 2017 and 2020 based on data from 3,372 companies using multivariate correspondence analysis (MCA) and Welch’s test. They were analyzed according to the indicators of profitability, sales (or turnover), employment, and total assets. The results of MCA show that Central and Eastern European companies are absolute leaders in terms of profitability. While Southern European companies have the highest total assets, their sales and profitability are lower compared to other regions. We found that Western European companies lead in terms of turnover and that the Baltic region is roughly on par with Central and Eastern European countries in terms of profitability and employment. These differences were also tested using the pairwise Welch’s test, which revealed highly statistically significant differences, especially in turnover and total assets. The results also show that profitability levels are similar regardless of company size, while sales and total assets are significantly different across European regions. These findings on plastics manufacturers in different European regions are crucial to help policymakers and industry leaders make informed decisions to address economic performance, investment and environmental concerns, and to develop sustainable solutions for the plastics industry.
本研究根据 3,372 家公司的数据,采用多元对应分析(MCA)和韦尔奇检验法,对欧洲地区(如西欧、南欧、中欧、东欧和波罗的海国家)塑料制造商在 2017 年至 2020 年期间的经济表现进行了评估。根据盈利能力、销售额(或营业额)、就业人数和总资产等指标对这些公司进行了分析。多元对应分析的结果表明,中欧和东欧公司在盈利能力方面处于绝对领先地位。南欧公司的总资产最高,但其销售额和盈利能力却低于其他地区。我们发现,西欧公司在营业额方面遥遥领先,而波罗的海地区在盈利能力和就业方面与中东欧国家大致相当。我们还使用韦尔奇配对检验法对这些差异进行了检验,结果显示,尤其是在营业额和总资产方面,差异在统计学上非常显著。结果还显示,无论公司规模大小,盈利水平都相差无几,而销售额和资产总额在欧洲各地区之间存在显著差异。这些关于欧洲不同地区塑料制造商的研究结果至关重要,有助于政策制定者和行业领导者做出明智决策,以解决经济表现、投资和环境问题,并为塑料行业制定可持续发展的解决方案。

These findings on plastics manufacturers in different European regions are crucial to help policymakers and industry leaders make informed decisions to address economic performance, investment and environmental concerns, and to develop sustainable solutions for the plastics industry.","PeriodicalId":43310,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Business and Economics","volume":"219 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141150471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, the emphasis is placed on sustainability, requiring economies to continuously innovate, demonstrating their competence for eco-innovation. This form of innovation is a key concept in today’s world, providing innovative and sustainable solutions to environmental challenges, expecting a high level of education. Thus, this paper aims to explore the relationship between eco-innovation and higher education within the member states of the European Union, concentraiting on the quantitative analysis of the impact of higher education on eco-innovation development in these countries. Applying regression analysis, the eco-innovation index and the level of education in EU countries will be inspected to establish any significant correlation between these two variables. Following the analysis, the collected data involved in the regression method will reveal possible interrelationships and significant influences between the level of education and the degree of eco-innovation development in the member countries of the EU. Conclusively, the research proposes to highlight the influence of higher education in the development of eco-innovation within the European Union. The suggested quantitative analysis could lead to a better understanding of the association between higher education and eco-innovation, revealing the potential that the education sector has in promoting sustainability and a green future for European Union.
当前的重点是可持续性,要求各经济体不断创新,展示其生态创新能力。这种形式的创新是当今世界的一个重要概念,它为环境挑战提供了创新和可持续的解决方 案,需要高水平的教育。因此,本文旨在探讨欧盟成员国生态创新与高等教育之间的关系,重点是定量分析高等教育对这些国家生态创新发展的影响。通过回归分析,将对欧盟国家的生态创新指数和教育水平进行检查,以确定这两个变量之间是否存在显著的相关性。经过分析,回归方法所收集的数据将揭示欧盟成员国教育水平与生态创新发展程度之间可能存在的相互关系和重要影响。最后,研究建议强调高等教育对欧盟生态创新发展的影响。建议进行的定量分析可使人们更好地理解高等教育与生态创新之间的联系,揭示教育部门在促进可持续性和欧盟绿色未来方面的潜力。

Tourism represents one of the sectors with the highest growth, and the upward trend of evolution implies the anticipation and adaptation to the changes in travel behavior. Currently, young travelers represent an important segment of the global tourism market. Generation Z decision-making processes are influenced both by the specific characteristics of the generation and by their travel habits. The travel motivations of the first generation born in the age of technology include socializing, acquiring unique experiences along with eco-friendly vacation options. During a trip, Generation Z visits museums, attends cultural or sports events and documents their choices by following travel influencers or social media posts. In these conditions, the paper aims to analyze the characteristics of the generation Z travel behavior and their perception of the future of travel. To achieve this objective, there will be a theoretical approach of generation Z coupled with secondary data analyses that will highlight the way young travelers organize their vacation.
