Cooperative forms of organization have led to major advances in energy use in the last decade. A common cooperative form in the energy sector is that of energy communities. These energy communities produce, distribute, and consume their own sustainable energy. To explore this cooperative structure and create knowledge on the topic, this study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the scientific literature on energy communities and cooperatives. Using bibliographic coupling, co-citation analysis, and keyword co-occurrence, the analysis identifies key themes and interconnections in this research field. The findings reveal major focus areas and key characteristics, including renewable energy, community energy, energy transition, policy, participation, governance, and innovation. The study highlights the importance of integrating technological innovation, community involvement, and cooperative models to advance sustainable energy systems in energy communities. Finally, this study makes a unique contribution through its holistic mapping of the research landscape. It thus provides an original synthesis of key themes and gaps in the literature. The proposal of seven future research directions, 14 research objectives, and 21 research questions creates a comprehensive framework designed to guide future academic inquiry and inform policy and practice in the evolving field of energy communities and cooperatives.

The strict rational paradigm of neoclassical economic theory has resulted in limited exploration of emotions in managerial decision-making processes. This study attempts to address this gap by examining how emotions influence efficient managerial decision-making, generating a modern perspective for organizational theory beyond the existing theoretical paradigm. The concept of managerial decision-making is approached through three dependent variables: strategic planning, innovative crisis management, and pragmatism. This study analyzed the responses of 151 managers of small- and medium-sized firms in Greece collected during field research in 2023. Emotions are perceived as unique information that interacts with other factors, such as the conscious evaluation of inputs. The analysis of emotions was based on a modified understanding of the anthropological term of emotional culture. The findings demonstrate that emotional culture contributes to managerial decision-making. Influential variables included basic emotions, emotions that communicate motives, cultural values, fast and slow thinking, and demographics. These variables highlight the interaction of pure emotional and rational factors in managerial decision-making. This study provides insights into how “human-related” traits contribute to or affect decision-making processes. This interdisciplinary perspective has both micro- and macro-level implications. At the micro level, the study explores strategic management, managerial skills for effective decision-making—especially considering the rise of artificial intelligence—and modern perspectives of organizational theory based on behavioral economics. At the macro level, it offers insights into cumulative behavioral expressions and how emotion analysis could be used to understand cultures and stereotypes within societies. The study has implications for the relationship between policymaking and production structure.

Entrepreneurship is a crucial driver of economic growth, necessitating the development of effective entrepreneurial ecosystems. However, there are significant gaps in the literature regarding the structured assessment of these ecosystems. This study addresses three main research gaps: the lack of structured evaluation methods, the need for a comprehensive analysis of ecosystem challenges from various perspectives, and the identification of critical factors essential for ecosystem growth. To bridge these gaps, the research introduces the Hierarchical Decision Model (HDM) as a universal assessment framework that can be adapted to different cities for creating effective entrepreneurial environments. The research methodology involved formulating perspectives and criteria through literature reviews and expert interviews. These perspectives and criteria were validated by subject matter experts and quantified by other experts to assign relative weights to each. Desirability curves were developed to measure these criteria, scored by experts. The practical applicability of the HDM was demonstrated through a case study of Riyadh, showcasing the model's effectiveness in real-world scenarios. Key findings include the identification and ranking of twenty critical criteria across five main perspectives, along with the development of desirability curves for each criterion. This provides a practical, easy-to-implement evaluation tool for policymakers. The contributions of this research are multifaceted: it introduces HDM to the field of entrepreneurship ecosystem assessment, offers a practical model for ecosystem performance measurement, and presents a framework for policy improvements. Additionally, it highlights the importance of continuous model refinement and the inclusion of diverse case studies for broader validation. Future research should focus on expanding the model to include sub-models for different regions and stages of startups’ development, ensuring its ongoing relevance and applicability. The findings show the most effective factors (perspectives and criteria) in developing entrepreneurial ecosystems and provide a method to measure the level of each criterion without requiring deep knowledge of the methodology, making it easier to implement the model in any ecosystem with any experts. The research offers an explicit case study evaluation of Riyadh's entrepreneurial ecosystem and provides recommendations for improvement areas. This study contributes to the technology management body of knowledge, particularly in the context of entrepreneurship ecosystems, presenting a universal assessment model for measuring ecosystem performance in any city. It creates an evaluation and improvement framework for policymakers to develop entrepreneurial ecosystems in their cities, ensuring continuous relevance and practicality through ongoing refinement and diverse case study applications.

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, the substantial advance and rapid growth of data presents companies and their operations with a set of opportunities from different sources that can profoundly impact their competitiveness and success. The literature suggests that data can be considered a hidden weapon that fosters decision-making while determining a company's success in a rapidly changing market. Data are also used to support most organizational activities and decisions. As a result, information, effective data governance, and technology utilization will play a significant role in controlling and maximizing the value of enterprises. This article conducts an extensive methodological and systematic review of the data governance field, covering its key concepts, frameworks, and maturity assessment models. Our goal is to establish the current baseline of knowledge in this field while providing differentiated and unique insights, namely by exploring the relationship between data governance, data assurance, and digital forensics. By analyzing the existing literature, we seek to identify critical practices, challenges, and opportunities for improvement within the data governance discipline while providing organizations, practitioners, and scientists with the necessary knowledge and tools to guide them in the practical definition and application of data governance initiatives.

Corporate foresight (CF) is considered an organizational capability that contributes to the innovativeness and sustained competitive advantage of firms, particularly in the presence of organizational learning (OL). The business literature positions individuals as important to the CF process but it provides limited clarification about how individuals do foresight or, more specifically, how they experience foresight in organizations. Embracing the resource-based view of the firm, this study provides understanding of how individuals use tacit knowledge in individual foresight (IF) and engage in OL mechanisms to contribute to innovativeness. The micro-foundations of IF are examined to determine how employees experience IF in an organizational context. Adopting a phenomenological approach, 27 interviews were conducted with employees across the finance and insurance and utilities industries, resulting in a theoretical framework of IF. Examining the lifeworld of individuals as they experience foresight revealed a rich tapestry of both personal and intra-organizational social capital interactions useful in demonstrating the role of IF for innovation in firms. Storytelling, mentorship, and group reflection, supported by appropriate culture, leadership, and human resource strategies, confirm the value of fostering IF to encourage innovation. This study advances foresight research by broadening understanding of IF from an employee perspective—specifically, how IF is experienced and can foster OL and innovation outcomes for firms. Implications for firms and opportunities for a future research agenda are proposed.
企业远见（CF）被认为是一种组织能力，有助于提高企业的创新能力和持续竞争优势，尤其是在组织学习（OL）的情况下。商业文献将个人定位为企业远见过程中的重要因素，但对于个人如何进行远见，或者更具体地说，个人如何在组织中体验远见，所提供的说明却很有限。本研究采用基于资源的企业观点，让人们了解个人如何在个人预见（IF）中使用隐性知识，并参与 OL 机制，从而提高创新能力。本研究考察了个人预见（IF）的微观基础，以确定员工如何在组织环境中体验个人预见（IF）。采用现象学方法，对金融、保险和公用事业行业的员工进行了 27 次访谈，最终形成了 IF 理论框架。通过研究个人在经历前瞻时的生活世界，我们发现了丰富的个人和组织内部社会资本互动，这有助于证明综合框架在企业创新中的作用。在适当的文化、领导力和人力资源战略的支持下，讲故事、导师指导和小组反思证实了培养 IF 以鼓励创新的价值。这项研究从员工的角度扩大了对综合框架的理解，特别是对综合框架如何被体验以及如何促进企业的OL和创新成果的理解，从而推进了前瞻性研究。本研究还提出了对企业的启示以及未来研究议程的机遇。

The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of remote and hybrid forms of work in organizations. Despite the benefits that these flexible working models can bring to both employees and organizations, they are accompanied by a darker side. Heavy digital presence, increased workload, and blurred boundaries between work and life are some of the hindrances derived from remote working that directly affect employee well-being. Aware of the negative consequences that can lead to individual and organizational performance, companies are expected to define and adapt policies and regulations to protect employees and promote their well-being. However, literature addressing these research topics is scarce, and many contributions are dispersed across different fields. Therefore, we address this research gap by performing a bibliometric analysis of the contributions to remote employee well-being and complementing it with a content analysis. A sample of 64 publications was collected from two different databases. This study provides a performance measurement analysis of publications and citations and a scientific mapping of collaboration networks and emerging thematic trends. Furthermore, the content analysis allows us to understand how the organizational perspective on the well-being of employees in remote working settings has been addressed in the literature, clearly identifying opportunities for future research. Finally, the major challenges and research agendas are discussed.

Purpose
The research aims to provide a structured approach for leveraging Intellectual capital (IC) to enhance sense-making within the network, ensuring clarity on the goals and stakeholders involved in each strategy.
Design/methodology/approach
To tackle the research question, an exploratory analysis was conducted to investigate the Campania Oncology Network. Multiple sources of evidence were used to obtain data triangulation.
Findings
We developed a taxonomy of IC-based strategies that enhance sense-making. The analysis allows the identification of the IC activities developed by Campania's Oncology Network to increase the sense of belonging to the network. The activities of health network organisations are used to identify a taxonomy of strategies to enhance sense-making. For each strategy, specific objectives and stakeholders are identified.
Originality/value
This paper offers interesting practical and theoretical implications, presenting a new perspective on the role of IC in organisations.

This study distinguishes itself from existing organizational culture studies by investigating the relatively under-studied theoretical relationship between organizational culture and employer attractiveness. To capture the holistic nature of organizational culture theory, this study adopts configurational analysis, which contrasts resourceful cultural attributes (collaborative, employee development, and fair-compensation cultures) with demanding attributes (result-oriented, overworked, and job-insecurity cultures). This study proposes three configurational propositions of employer attractiveness and employs review-based topic modeling and fuzzy-set quality comparative analysis (fsQCA) to overcome the limitations of traditional survey-based measurement and regression analysis. For the empirical analysis, this study constructs an industry-wide dataset comprising 2209 quarterly samples from 157 hotels over six years, utilizing 54,889 employee reviews posted on Glassdoor in the United States. Topic modeling analysis adopting Latent Dirichlet Allocation extracts the probabilities of six cultural attributes. Finally, the fsQCA generates three groups of 13 configurations, leading to employer attractiveness: a fully resourced culture, a resourced and low-demanding culture, and a fairly compensated overwork culture. The findings confirm the core concepts of configurational analysis in contrast to regression analysis and present novel theoretical, methodological, and practical implications.

Persisting global crises, such as COVID-19, pose significant challenges for international companies. The increase in uncertainty and instability in foreign markets has profoundly affected firms' strategic decisions, forcing them to adapt to dynamic conditions in order to maintain or improve their international performance. Grounded in the dynamic capabilities view, this study examines how exploration and exploitation strategies drive international business model innovation, ultimately affecting international performance and expectations concerning crisis survival during the COVID-19 crisis.
Utilizing survey data from 1455 internationalized companies, we use structural equation modeling to test our hypotheses. The results show that, although both exploration and exploitation strategies foster international business model innovation, exploration has a stronger effect than exploitation. The results further emphasize that international business model innovation has a positive impact not only on the expectation of crisis survival but also on the international performance.

Currently, the global market for subscription services is facing a crisis of approaching saturation, prompting increased attention to the Asia-Pacific region. Meanwhile, digital content subscription services in Japan are late in the game but are on a continuous upward trend, indicating significant development potential. Despite a global shift towards digital consumption, Japan's strong preference for physical items such as CDs and books, presents an interesting contrast that warrants further research. This study integrates the innovation diffusion and resistance theories to investigate consumers’ actual usage and continuous purchase intention of digital content subscription services from both positive and negative perspectives. A questionnaire survey of 250 Japanese digital content subscribers yielded the following conclusions: First, compatibility positively influenced actual usage. Second, trialability negatively impacted actual usage. The unique characteristics of digital content subscription services were identified and compared with those of other innovative services. Furthermore, the tradition barrier exhibited a negative effect on actual usage. Last, actual usage was found to significantly and positively impact continuous purchase intention. By understanding the nuances of the Japanese market, companies can develop effective global strategies to cater to diverse consumer segments and remain competitive in an ever-changing digital landscape.
目前，全球订阅服务市场正面临着接近饱和的危机，这促使人们更加关注亚太地区。与此同时，日本的数字内容订阅服务虽然起步较晚，但呈持续上升趋势，显示出巨大的发展潜力。尽管全球都在向数字消费转变，但日本对 CD 和书籍等实体物品的强烈偏好却形成了有趣的对比，值得进一步研究。本研究综合运用创新扩散理论和阻力理论，从积极和消极两个角度研究消费者对数字内容订阅服务的实际使用情况和持续购买意向。通过对 250 名日本数字内容用户进行问卷调查，得出以下结论：首先，兼容性对实际使用产生了积极影响。其次，试用性对实际使用有负面影响。调查发现了数字内容订阅服务的独特性，并将其与其他创新服务进行了比较。此外，传统障碍对实际使用产生了负面影响。最后，研究发现实际使用对持续购买意向有显著的正向影响。通过了解日本市场的细微差别，企业可以制定有效的全球战略，以迎合不同的消费群体，并在不断变化的数字环境中保持竞争力。
