Purpose This study aims to examine how audit committee (AC) attributes influence quality and quantity disclosure of energy consumed by the listed nonfinancial firms for the period of five years (2016–2020). The study aims at providing empirical evidence on how board of director’s independence influences the relationship between AC attributes and firms’ energy in achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) on world climate policy. Design/methodology/approach The study obtained data from a sample of 83 listed nonfinancial firms, content analysis technique was used to compute energy disclosure indexes using global reporting initiative standards, while regression analysis was conducted to test the relationship among research variables. Findings The study revealed that AC independence, diversity and meetings were significantly related with energy disclosure. Also, the study found that other variables were insignificantly related with energy disclosure. Research limitations/implications The study is constrained for not considering all listed firms in the country. Furthermore, the study considered selected attributes, other important audit-committee size attributes such as audit-committee size, audit-committee size tenure could be study in by the future study. Practical implications The study’s findings would have practical implications for corporations and other business organizations seeking to actively involve the energy-related SDGs 7 and 13 in their business models and successfully communicate these efforts to stakeholders. Originality/value To the best of author’s knowledge, this is the first study that provides empirical evidence on the effect of AC attributes on the energy disclosure using effect of board independence as moderator in Nigeria.

Purpose This study aims to examine connections between five variables, including innovation in environment-related technology (EI), trade openness (TRADE), CO 2 emissions (CO 2 ) and foreign direct investment (FDI) from 1994 to 2019. Design/methodology/approach This study used an extended joint connectedness technique and the time-varying parameter vector autoregression (TVP-VAR) method. The analysis focuses on the variables of innovation in environment-related technology (EI), trade openness (TRADE), CO 2 emissions (CO 2 ) and foreign direct investment (FDI) using data from 1994 to 2019. Findings The results demonstrate that innovation in environment-related technology and an openness to the global network captured by FDI are identified as crucial net transmitters of shocks. In addition, an openness to the global trade network captured by TRADE turns from a transmitter to a receiver of shocks and vice versa. Moreover, it can be seen that the impact of EI was significant in the first five years of the observed period, and it transmitted the largest shock in 1997. Practical implications With regard to policy implications, the findings offer valuable insights for investors and policymakers. As the tradeoff between business efficiency and environmental sustainability diminishes, it is essential for Vietnam’s economy and enterprises to embrace green and sustainable growth in line with global trends. In a world characterized by uncertainties and risks, enterprises need to develop strategies to manage risks and shocks arising from geopolitical tensions, input material supply, financial–monetary instability and natural disasters. Originality/value This study contributes to the existing literature in two significant ways. First, as previously emphasized, this paper represents the first attempt to investigate the relationship between economic globalization and environmental innovation. Second, this study proposes a novel methodology that is better suited for analyzing volatility interlinkages across different market types.

Purpose Globally, information and communication technology (ICT) is regarded as a reliable tool that facilitates economic development and propels sustainable development. However, little empirical work exists on the specific effects of ICT access and usage on economic and sustainable development. This paper aims to investigate the nexus between ICTs, economic and sustainable development at the global level. Design/methodology/approach This paper presents ICT for Development (ICT4D) value chain empirical evidence on the linkages between ICTs, economic development and sustainable development goals (SDGs). The research model based on the capability approach is validated by using archival data from 130 global countries and partial least squares–structural equation modelling. Findings The findings reveal that ICT access and usage significantly influence a country’s attainment of the SDGs. Whilst ICT access plays a crucial role in promoting economic development, ICT usage does not. Also, findings show that economic development significantly mediated the nexus between ICT access and SDGs but not between ICT usage and SDGs. This calls for countries to ensure that access to ICTs is accompanied by a low cost of usage to achieve the full benefits of economic and sustainable development. Originality/value Using the ICT4D value chain, this paper empirically shows how ICT readiness and availability in the form of ICT access and ICT uptake (individual ICT use) promote economic development and SDGs (impact). Furthermore, with many studies conducted on SDGs at the country level, this study provides a broader understanding of the roles of ICT access and use on SDGs at the global level. This allows for easy generalisability and reproducibility of results.

Purpose This study aims to investigate the relationship between extrinsic rewards and employee creativity through the intervening mechanism of perceived organisational support (POS) and work engagement. The moderating role of intrinsic motivation on the relationship between work engagement and employee creativity is also examined. Design/methodology/approach The authors report the results of a survey completed by 372 respondents employed in the United Arab Emirates. Structural equation modelling was applied to test the hypothesised relationships. Findings The main findings are that extrinsic rewards influence employee creativity through POS and work engagement. Moreover, the effect of work engagement on employee creativity is moderated by intrinsic motivation. This model effect is stronger for employees with high intrinsic motivation. Research limitations/implications Convenience sampling was used, which limits its generalisability. Also, the data were collected through a cross-sectional survey at one point in time. Practical implications Managers should consider provision of extrinsic rewards and support to increase employee motivation and engagement in creative work. Originality/value This study contributes to the limited amount of available literature on creativity and rewards adding to our knowledge about the influence of extrinsic rewards on creativity considered in the presence of intrinsic motivation. Theoretical and practical recommendations are discussed.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the influence of human resource management (HRM) practices on the level of innovativeness observed within the service sector of Ghana, taking into account the potential mediating role of innovation capability. Design/methodology/approach The research used a quantitative methodology to fulfill the study's objectives. A Web-based survey questionnaire was designed to gather data from a sample of 168 respondents, selected through a convenient sampling technique. The proposed model was tested using the Process Macro Model 4 by Hayes in SPSS version 26. Findings The study’s outcomes indicate that there is no statistically significant correlation between HRM practices and firm innovativeness. However, the mediating role of innovation capability was observed to fully account for the relationship between human HRM practices and firm innovativeness. Additionally, a positive and significant association was identified between HRM practices and innovation capability, as well as between innovation capability and firm innovativeness. Research limitations/implications It is important to note that the findings are limited to the perspective of employees within the service sector of Ghana. Therefore, future research could explore the manufacturing and/or extraction industries in Ghana to obtain a more comprehensive understanding. Furthermore, a larger sample size could be considered in future studies. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study presents a novel examination of the hypothesized model within the Ghanaian context, providing valuable insights into the relationship between HRM practices, innovation capability and firm innovativeness.
本文旨在研究人力资源管理(HRM)实践对加纳服务部门观察到的创新水平的影响，同时考虑到创新能力的潜在中介作用。设计/方法/方法这项研究采用了定量方法来实现研究目标。设计了一份基于网络的调查问卷，通过方便的抽样技术从168名受访者中抽样收集数据。采用Hayes在SPSS version 26中的Process Macro model 4对提出的模型进行检验。研究结果表明，人力资源管理实践与企业创新之间没有统计学上显著的相关性。然而，我们观察到创新能力的中介作用，以充分解释人类人力资源管理实践与企业创新之间的关系。此外，人力资源管理实践与创新能力、创新能力与企业创新能力之间存在显著的正相关关系。值得注意的是，研究结果仅限于加纳服务部门员工的视角。因此，未来的研究可以探索加纳的制造业和/或采掘业，以获得更全面的了解。此外，在未来的研究中可以考虑更大的样本量。据作者所知，本研究对加纳背景下的假设模型进行了新颖的检验，为人力资源管理实践、创新能力和企业创新能力之间的关系提供了有价值的见解。

Purpose In the current competitive era of industrialization, a significant level of innovation is necessary to meet the growing competition. There are many economic forces that determine the pace of innovation within a country. Among others, this study aims to focus on exploring the relevant role of corruption control (CC) in determining the innovation level. Design/methodology/approach For empirical analysis, the authors sample the 24 years of data (1996–2019) of Asian economies and use the fully modified ordinary least square (OLS) and dynamic OLS models to check the regression among variables. The selection of both techniques is based upon the empirical suggestions offered by unit root testing and the Johansen cointegration test. Findings The empirical findings infer the positive and statistically significant role of CC in boosting innovation. Strengthening the corruption-free environment encourages innovation activities within the country. In addition, foreign direct investment has a negative relationship with CC while financial development, economic growth, export volume and government subsidies positively determine the innovation level. Practical implications Based on empirical analysis, it is suggested that the policy officials should do more focus on CC to enhance the competitiveness of the country through more innovation. Originality/value The empirical analysis robust the findings of existing literature in an alternative data set and offers innovative views regarding the role of other factors in boosting the innovation level.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the potential link between Sweden’s high reliance on equity capital financing among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and its recognition as the most innovative economy in Europe according to the European Innovation Scoreboard (EIS). This paper examines the idea that the high levels of trust within Swedish society can explain why private equity financing is more prevalent among Swedish SMEs. Design/methodology/approach To test these ideas, the authors use data from the Survey on Access to Finance for Enterprises to measure the private equity reliance of firms. The authors also use the EIS to measure the innovation capacity of nations and various aspects of SMEs’ innovation activities. Finally, societal levels of trust are measured through the World Value Survey. Findings First, the authors find that European countries with a higher proportion of SMEs relying on equity financing tend to be ranked as more innovative by the EIS. Second, the authors find that the correlation between a nation’s share of SMEs relying on equity financing and their level of innovation activities is marginally stronger for product innovations than for business process innovations. Third, the authors find that countries with higher levels of trust tend to have higher equity capital reliance among SMEs. Originality/value This study builds upon previous research on equity capital and SMEs’ innovation activity while introducing new insights into the relationship between societal trust and equity financing.
本文的目的是调查瑞典中小企业(sme)对股权资本融资的高度依赖与根据欧洲创新记分牌(EIS)被认为是欧洲最具创新性的经济体之间的潜在联系。本文考察了瑞典社会内部的高度信任可以解释为什么私募股权融资在瑞典中小企业中更为普遍的观点。为了验证这些观点，作者使用了《企业融资渠道调查》(Survey on Access To Finance for Enterprises)的数据来衡量企业对私募股权的依赖程度。作者还使用EIS来衡量国家的创新能力和中小企业创新活动的各个方面。最后，通过世界价值调查来衡量社会的信任水平。首先，作者发现，依靠股权融资的中小企业比例较高的欧洲国家往往被EIS评为更具创新性。其次，作者发现，一个国家依赖股权融资的中小企业所占比例与其创新活动水平之间的相关性在产品创新方面略强于业务流程创新。第三，研究发现，信任水平越高的国家，中小企业对权益资本的依赖程度越高。本研究在以往股权资本与中小企业创新活动研究的基础上，对社会信任与股权融资之间的关系提出了新的见解。
{"title":"Equity capital financing of Swedish SMEs, innovation, and decentralized management","authors":"Viktor Ström, Nima Sanandaji, Saeid Esmaeilzadeh, Mouna Esmaeilzadeh","doi":"10.1108/ijis-10-2022-0200","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1108/ijis-10-2022-0200","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the potential link between Sweden’s high reliance on equity capital financing among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and its recognition as the most innovative economy in Europe according to the European Innovation Scoreboard (EIS). This paper examines the idea that the high levels of trust within Swedish society can explain why private equity financing is more prevalent among Swedish SMEs. Design/methodology/approach To test these ideas, the authors use data from the Survey on Access to Finance for Enterprises to measure the private equity reliance of firms. The authors also use the EIS to measure the innovation capacity of nations and various aspects of SMEs’ innovation activities. Finally, societal levels of trust are measured through the World Value Survey. Findings First, the authors find that European countries with a higher proportion of SMEs relying on equity financing tend to be ranked as more innovative by the EIS. Second, the authors find that the correlation between a nation’s share of SMEs relying on equity financing and their level of innovation activities is marginally stronger for product innovations than for business process innovations. Third, the authors find that countries with higher levels of trust tend to have higher equity capital reliance among SMEs. Originality/value This study builds upon previous research on equity capital and SMEs’ innovation activity while introducing new insights into the relationship between societal trust and equity financing.","PeriodicalId":44643,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Innovation Science","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135688717","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}

Purpose While previous studies have investigated the factors influencing the internet adoption, the findings may not be transferable to explain blockchain technology adoption, despite its similarities to the internet. This study aims to address this gap by exploring the mediating effect of innovation culture and the moderating effect of innovation policies on business model innovation (BMI) outcomes in emerging economy firms. It investigates how these factors synergistically facilitate BMI, offering practical guidance for public authorities and managers to develop relevant policies and govern businesses effectively. Design/methodology/approach This study collected data from 287 valid responses among 948 listed companies on the Taiwan Stock Exchange using a structured questionnaire. This study used structural equation modeling and Process Model 5 to analyze direct and indirect effects, focusing on corporate key capabilities for BMI while exploring the combined impact of innovation culture and policies. Findings The study revealed that innovation culture and innovation policies synergistically facilitate BMI, accelerating firms’ progress toward BMI in the emerging economy context. These outcomes offer valuable guidance for public authorities and company managers in formulating relevant policies and managing businesses effectively. Originality/value This study contributes to the literature by uniquely exploring the combined influence of innovation culture and policies on BMI in emerging economy firms, shedding light on their compounding effect and offering practical implications for policy-making and business management.
