Two questions persist regarding global value chains (GVCs): First, what are the strategies and pathways through which multinational enterprises (MNEs) integrate and navigate GVCs? Second, what are the characteristics of GVCs in which MNEs participate? An analysis of these questions leads to inside–out and outside–in perspectives on GVCs. The literature on MNEs mostly focuses on the quantity and quality of foreign direct investment rather than on the differences in MNEs’ production activities and structure of GVCs. This study examines the effects of MNEs’ participation in simple and complex GVCs on domestic innovation. We find that the positive effects are mainly driven by MNEs’ downstream participation in simple GVCs. The mechanism tests indicate that MNEs’ upstreamness within simple GVCs negatively affects domestic firms’ absorption capacity and internal R&D and that within simple and complex GVCs negatively affects domestic firms’ export resilience.

Addressing climate challenges and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) necessitate a deep understanding of how green policies influence carbon emissions. Therefore, this study explores the impact of green finance, innovation, and taxation on carbon emissions in OECD countries while accounting for economic growth, renewable energy, and energy productivity. Utilizing the method of moment quantile regression analysis, we find that green finance, taxes, and innovation significantly reduce emissions in OECD economies. The impacts of green finance and taxes exhibit an increasing trend, with higher coefficients at higher quantiles. Conversely, green innovation shows a decreasing trend, with coefficients showing lower magnitude at higher quantiles. The results also show that renewable energy and energy productivity significantly mitigate emissions. In contrast, economic growth correlates positively with CO₂ emissions. Our findings highlight the need for robust policies that invest in clean technologies, broaden green financial instruments, and enhance energy efficiency. In line with the frameworks established at COP28, we emphasize the pivotal role of both public and private funding in facilitating the transition to a low-carbon economy.

One of the significant challenges to achieveing the Green Supply Chain Management objectives is the ecological footprint associated with several logistics operations. In this study, we examine the impact of countries' logistics performance on environmental quality. For this purpose, the study collected data from a panel of 43 global economies over the period of 2010–2016. We used a composite index of logistics performance (LPI) to evaluate logistics performance and the ecological footprint (EFP) to assess environmental quality across diverse countries. Our results indicate that improvements in logistics performance are significantly associated with reductions in ecological footprints after controlling the effects of GDP, imports, exports, and adjusted net national income. These results are promising, and our findings highlight that although LPI initially intends to track the logistics performance without any consideration to the environmental concerns, most of its dimensions are indirectly capturing these concerns. These results compel policymakers to pay special attention to logistics performance, which is undoubtedly one of the most significant segments of global supply chains and may have the potential to make these supply chains greener and more environmentally friendly.

Measuring innovation has long posed a significant challenge and has been the subject of extensive scientific research. Various definitions and measures of innovation exist, and each measurement approach faces limitations. This research aims to conduct a systematic literature review to expose the tendencies in measuring various types of innovation, thereby revealing different approaches, challenges, and limitations. This paper systemises and groups indicators, highlighting similarities and differences in measuring various innovation types. The systematic literature review includes 172 papers from the WoS Core Collection and Scopus databases, presenting innovation indicators across nine types of innovation: product, process, service, technological, management (or organizational, administrative), business model, supply chain, green (or environmental, eco), and open innovation. The analysis reveals that researchers often employ a broad range of indicators, many of which are not even closely aligned with specific innovation types. Accordingly, this paper offers recommendations for selecting indicators tailored to innovation type.

In the ever-evolving banking landscape, effectively addressing sustainability concerns while meeting customer expectations is essential. This study introduces an innovative Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Feedback Framework designed to align the banks’ sustainability strategies with customer perceptions and expectations. The framework utilizes a comprehensive approach by integrating customer feedback on CSR through a survey-based methodology grounded in the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines. It features the novel CSR Feedback Matrix to evaluate the degree to which a bank's sustainability strategy aligns with customer expectations and satisfaction, while also comparing these factors against those of competitors within the industry. Additionally, the framework employs the TOPSIS technique to calculate a Critical CSR Score (CCS), ranking sustainability aspects based on their level of criticality. The findings reveal key areas where banks can enhance their CSR efforts to better meet customer requirements. Furthermore, the analysis of customer segmentation by demographic factors provides actionable insights for developing targeted CSR strategies tailored to diverse customer needs and preferences. This research contributes to the ongoing dialogue regarding sustainability strategies from a customer-centric perspective, providing practical guidance for managers to foster positive customer relationships while advancing corporate responsibility.

This study examines the influence of digital capabilities in sculpting entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and enhancing metaverse entrepreneurial performance (MEP). Grounded in the theoretical frameworks of the resource-based view (RBV) and dynamic capability theory (DCT), this research explains the mechanisms through which three facets of digital capabilities (infrastructure, business spanning, and proactive stance) cultivate an ecosystem conducive to entrepreneurial expansion and efficacy within the metaverse. Based on a data set of 403 metaverse entrepreneurs, a multifaceted analytical approach is applied. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) is used to assess latent variable relationships. Importance-performance map analysis (IPMA) is used to evaluate the performance and importance of various constructs. Fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) is used to identify complex causal relationships. Collectively, these techniques enable the examination of the interplay among digital capabilities, EO, and MEP. The empirical findings show the positive impact of digital capabilities on EO and MEP, with EO mediating this relationship. These results underscore the need for metaverse entrepreneurs to improve their digital capabilities and EO to achieve enhanced performance within this dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystem.

In a world increasingly driven by digital transformation, emerging technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and the metaverse hold great promise for economic and social progress. However, their widespread adoption is influenced by various factors that can either hinder or facilitate this process. This study aims to investigate the key factors affecting the adoption of next-generation digital technologies and determine whether these factors act as barriers or opportunities. By integrating diffusion of innovations (DOI) theory and institutional theory, we develop a new analytical framework to examine these influences. Utilising a two-factor fixed effects model, we analyse panel data from 116 countries from 2019 to 2022. Our analysis identifies key barriers, such as privacy concerns, illiteracy, and limited economic accessibility, and highlights opportunities provided by supportive regulatory environments and proactive government initiatives. The findings provide a nuanced understanding of the conditions necessary for the successful adoption of digital technologies, offering actionable insights for policymakers and stakeholders aiming to foster a conducive environment for technological advancement.

This study focusses on young entrepreneurs and considers the extent of business incubators’ impact on the development and visibility of projects headed by young people. To do so, we analyse incubators’ role as ecosystems for entrepreneurship in Spain based on the 2023 Funcas survey. First, we categorised incubators according to entrepreneurs’ age, defining young incubators as those in which most of the businesses are run by individuals under 35, excluding those over that age. We analyse variables that include the services offered and the frequency of events or training within the incubators to determine which approaches benefit or harm young entrepreneurs. This study uses a statistical approach, with quantitative data from the questionnaire as a starting point to characterise and identify young entrepreneurial profiles in business incubators. We develop and test two hypotheses using the chi-squared test, which is a non-parametric (distribution free) technique. Finally, we include a brief analysis of young entrepreneurs’ personality traits to shed light on some defining characteristics, concluding that personal initiative is a key feature amongst entrepreneurs under the age of 35. We conclude that the incubator system in Spain harms young entrepreneurs and propose some relevant recommendations to reverse this trend.

This article proposes that artificial intelligence (AI) is positioned as a key driver of a new evolutionary stage of human knowledge, complementing human intelligence and facilitating the creation and development of sophisticated collective intelligence, defined as the noosphere, understood as the sphere of collective human thought. The study reveals several key insights into the transformative potential of AI, including its capacity to accelerate, mediate, and diffuse human knowledge. It concludes that AI not only catalyzes the existence of the noosphere but also redefines the structures and mechanisms through which human knowledge is expanded and democratized. Additionally, the document presents potential risks and significant ethical, social, and legal challenges of an AI-mediated noosphere, offering recommendations and a research agenda around the topic, and limitations and proposals for improvement to be considered in the future.

Firms’ innovation positively affects their competitiveness and thus their financial performance. To bridge the research gap in the theoretical framework of dynamic capabilities and respond to the call for papers to explore new ways of analyzing innovation in family businesses, this study investigates how entrepreneurial orientation and absorptive capacity influence innovative capacity in family firms. Data from 156 family firms are analyzed using the theoretical framework of dynamic capabilities and structural equation modeling. The results reveal that both entrepreneurial orientation and absorptive capacity influence innovative capacity and that this influence is greater when both capabilities act together than when they act individually. This study confirms that entrepreneurial orientation and absorptive capacity are antecedents of innovative capacity. Moreover, entrepreneurial orientation has a greater influence on innovative capacity than absorptive capacity does.
