In the current era, women are often recognized as successful entrepreneurs due to their innovative capabilities and strong drive for robust economic growth. Their effective role in job creation, family income etc. is now recognized at an international level. Given the significant contribution, this study explores the factors influencing women's entrepreneurial success. The study underlines the effective role of family support in strengthening the relationship between green knowledge, innovation capabilities, and green social behaviour and women's entrepreneurial success. The data for the study was collected from women entrepreneurs in China using survey questionnaire, adopted from previous studies. The researchers analysed the data using SmartPLS by applying partial least squares structural equation modelling. Findings indicate that green knowledge, green social behavior and innovative capabilities positively influence women's entrepreneurial success. The moderation results show that family support significantly moderates the relationship between green knowledge and women's entrepreneurial success. However, family support appears to be an insignificant moderator in the context of green social behaviour. Our results explain that the significance of family support varies among women, based on their family dynamics. In some cases, family support plays essential role, while in other scenarios, the relevance diminishes when alternative support systems including strong network and adaptability, prove more beneficial. In certain culture, family support is indeed a significant element but primarily within personal domains only. Thus, it can be concluded that in some contexts women's entrepreneurial success is viewed as an independent factor, separated from family dynamics, especially where individual's achievements, regardless of gender, are admired and celebrated.

The Gen-Z, who are deemed digital natives, have shown interest in the metaverse. The emergence of augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (XR) technologies in recent years has fuelled the increased interest in metaverse gaming. However, extant literature is yet to understand the individual orientations of these digital natives towards prime aspects of metaverse gaming and how it shapes one's attitude and, eventually, behavioural intentions for metaverse gaming. This study investigates the individual orientation towards social gaming, play for earn, flexibility gaming, and mixed reality as potential enablers for individuals’ attitudes towards metaverse gaming. Using the well-established theory of planned behaviour (TPB), coupled with an extensive literature review, we explore the influence of attitude on behavioural intentions for metaverse gaming. The study also explores the contingent effects of VR tools' usability, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, and age. We develop the measures for the used constructs through a literature review and pre-test before final data collection. Using an online questionnaire and purposive sampling, the study collected 308 and 256 complete responses from online gamers residing in South and East India, respectively, after fulfilling specific pre-decided filtering criteria. The findings of the study underscore the significant moderating effects of VR tools, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, and age towards metaverse gaming. The findings highlight the far-reaching implications for policymakers and practitioners. Companies can leverage this mix of demography and technology for immersive experiences for new marketing, branding, and loyalty programs. Policymakers may underscore the cyber threats and prepare for regulatory and legal challenges.

被视为数字原住民的 Z 世代对元宇宙表现出了浓厚的兴趣。近年来，增强现实（AR）、虚拟现实（VR）和混合现实（XR）技术的出现激发了人们对元宇宙游戏的兴趣。然而，现有文献尚未了解这些数字原住民对元海外游戏主要方面的个人取向，以及这种取向如何影响个人对元海外游戏的态度和最终的行为意向。本研究调查了个人对社交游戏、赚取游戏、灵活游戏和混合现实的取向，这些都是个人对元海外游戏态度的潜在促进因素。利用成熟的计划行为理论（TPB），结合广泛的文献综述，我们探讨了态度对元海外游戏行为意向的影响。本研究还探讨了虚拟现实工具的可用性、主观规范、感知行为控制和年龄的偶然影响。我们通过文献综述和最终数据收集前的预测试，为所使用的构建因素制定了测量方法。本研究使用在线问卷和目的性抽样，在满足预先确定的特定筛选标准后，分别从居住在印度南部和东部的在线游戏玩家那里收集到 308 份和 256 份完整答复。研究结果强调了虚拟现实工具、主观规范、感知行为控制和年龄对元海外游戏的重要调节作用。研究结果凸显了对政策制定者和从业人员的深远影响。公司可以利用这种人口和技术的组合，为新的营销、品牌和忠诚度计划提供身临其境的体验。政策制定者可以强调网络威胁，并为监管和法律挑战做好准备。

Entrepreneurial self-efficacy holds significant importance due to its broad influence, benefiting not just entrepreneurs but also extending its impact to other domains. This is why it is so important to have an understanding of the factors that are at its core. Our primary aim is to investigate the influence of family communication on entrepreneurial success. In doing so, we will explore mediating factors, with a particular focus on entrepreneurial self-efficacy.

In 2021, we carried out a survey targeting entrepreneurs, utilizing four self-descriptive questionnaires for data collection purposes. Family Assessment Scales, The Entrepreneur's Family Communication Questionnaire, The Entrepreneurship Efficacy Scale, and The Questionnaire of Entrepreneurial Success. The study involved conducting descriptive, correlation, and path analyses.

The findings indicate that family communication plays a crucial role as a psychological factor in elucidating entrepreneurial success.

企业家自我效能感因其广泛的影响而具有重要意义，不仅有利于企业家，而且还将其影响扩展到其他领域。这就是为什么了解其核心因素是如此重要。我们的主要目的是调查家庭沟通对创业成功的影响。在此过程中，我们将探索中介因素，特别关注企业家自我效能感。在2021年，我们针对企业家进行了一项调查，利用四份自我描述性问卷来收集数据。家庭评估量表、企业家家庭沟通问卷、创业效能量表、创业成功问卷。该研究包括进行描述性、相关性和路径分析。研究结果表明，家庭沟通在创业成功的心理因素中起着至关重要的作用。

Leadership can play an important role in knowledge hiding. This study investigated the unexplored impact of altruistic leadership (AL) on knowledge hiding by assessing the mediating role of team learning (TL) and knowledge culture (KC) in this relationship. Structural equation modeling was used to test 14 hypotheses based on primary data from 368 surveyed Slovakian companies representing diverse enterprises. Data were gathered from various companies spanning a range of industries, including manufacturing, education, wholesale and retail, construction, and information technology. Of these, 164 were from micro-enterprises, 114 were from small enterprises, 67 were from medium-sized enterprises, and 23 were from large enterprises. This article reveals how AL can mitigate the negative effects of knowledge hiding by supporting TL and cultivating a KC. These findings indicate that leaders who exhibit altruistic behavior positively influence TL, enhancing KC and reducing instances of knowledge hiding. The primary data tested in our model confirm that selfless leadership reduces knowledge hiding by encouraging TL and KC. This suggests that, when selecting team leaders, their level of altruism should be considered. The roles of TL and KC in promoting knowledge sharing within organizations and emphasizing the importance of team effectiveness and mutual communication are crucial. This study contributes to the existing literature by examining the direct impact of AL on knowledge-hiding behavior, demonstrating how AL promotes TL and a knowledge-sharing culture, thereby eliminating knowledge hiding, including the practical implications. Future qualitative studies and research extending to other locations could help deepen our understanding of these relationships and incorporate additional concepts and factors.

领导力可以在知识隐藏中发挥重要作用。本研究通过评估团队学习（TL）和知识文化（KC）在这一关系中的中介作用，探讨了利他主义领导力（AL）对知识隐藏的影响。本研究采用结构方程模型，以来自代表不同企业的 368 家斯洛伐克受访公司的原始数据为基础，对 14 项假设进行了检验。这些数据来自各行各业的公司，包括制造业、教育业、批发和零售业、建筑业以及信息技术业。其中，164 家来自微型企业，114 家来自小型企业，67 家来自中型企业，23 家来自大型企业。本文揭示了 AL 如何通过支持 TL 和培养 KC 来减轻知识隐藏的负面影响。这些研究结果表明，表现出利他主义行为的领导者会积极影响TL，增强KC并减少知识隐藏的情况。我们的模型所测试的主要数据证实，无私型领导通过鼓励TL和KC来减少知识隐藏。这表明，在选择团队领导时，应考虑他们的利他主义水平。TL和KC在促进组织内部知识共享以及强调团队效率和相互沟通的重要性方面的作用至关重要。本研究通过考察 AL 对知识隐藏行为的直接影响，说明 AL 如何促进 TL 和知识共享文化，从而消除知识隐藏，包括其实际意义，为现有文献做出了贡献。未来的定性研究和扩展到其他地区的研究将有助于加深我们对这些关系的理解，并纳入更多的概念和因素。

The impact of history and the use of firms’ past in theoretical models examining firm strategies have garnered increasing attention. Whether firms can benefit from their history imprints to facilitate innovation strategies is an increasingly important, yet under-researched, question. This study aims to fill this gap by examining the effects of history imprint on two distinct innovation strategies: exploitation and exploration. Drawing on the history-informed perspective and imprint theory, we investigate how firm- and strategic-level factors moderate these relationships. Using a survey of manufacturing firms in China and applying hierarchical multiple regressions, we find that, while history imprint positively influences exploitation, it negatively affects exploration. Interestingly, the positive impact of history imprint on exploitation is stronger for family firms, and information sharing attenuates the negative effect on exploration. These results underscore the importance of considering history in innovative decision-making and suggest that firms, particularly family-owned ones, should adopt specific practices to balance the benefits of their history imprints with the need for innovation.

在研究企业战略的理论模型中，历史的影响和对企业过去的利用日益受到关注。企业能否从其历史印记中获益以促进创新战略，这是一个日益重要但研究不足的问题。本研究旨在通过考察历史印记对两种不同创新战略（利用和探索）的影响来填补这一空白。借鉴历史信息视角和印记理论，我们研究了企业和战略层面的因素是如何调节这些关系的。通过对中国制造业企业进行调查，并运用分层多元回归法，我们发现历史印记对开发产生了积极影响，但对探索产生了消极影响。有趣的是，家族企业的历史烙印对开发的积极影响更大，而信息共享则削弱了对探索的消极影响。这些结果强调了在创新决策中考虑历史的重要性，并建议企业，尤其是家族企业，应采取具体做法，在历史印记的益处与创新需求之间取得平衡。

The progression of logistics and supply chain management (LSCM) has been significantly influenced by various factors, such as structural changes, increased customer awareness, digitalization, resilience requirements, and a growing emphasis on sustainability. This intricacy emphasizes the need for a comprehensive reevaluation of essential professional competencies. This study aims to provide a thorough and comprehensive examination of the existing academic literature to identify the critical skills that are crucial to the current LSCM environment.

The paper is a systematic analysis based on bibliographic methods. Descriptive, bibliographic coupling, and conceptual analyses will be carried out using two distinct software applications: Biblioshiny for Bibliometrix (employed for descriptive and conceptual analyses) and VOSViewer (utilized for bibliographic coupling). A systematic examination of the clusters derived from bibliographic analyses will then be undertaken to derive more nuanced insights.

The analysis of academic literature indicates that much of the attention in the LSCM field has been directed toward technical proficiencies, quantitative abilities, and operational expertise. The overemphasis on hard skills suggests a potential oversight in recognizing the full spectrum of competencies required for success in the evolving landscape of LSCM. Our research reveals a discernible trend towards emphasizing soft skills, as evidenced by the presence of two out of the four clusters focusing on competencies of this nature.

The practical application of this research involves assisting professionals in creating personalized training plans, aiding logistics associations in developing a broader range of skills in response to significant changes and helping universities in designing specialized courses on soft skills for logistics. The theoretical aspect delves into the intricate relationship between soft skills and technical proficiency in logistics, yielding critical insights into how Human Resources can effectively contribute to enhancing a company's overall value.

物流与供应链管理（LSCM）的发展受到各种因素的显著影响，如结构变化、客户意识增强、数字化、复原力要求以及对可持续性的日益重视。这种复杂性强调了对基本专业能力进行全面重新评估的必要性。本研究旨在对现有学术文献进行深入全面的研究，以确定对当前物流与供应链管理环境至关重要的关键技能。将使用两种不同的应用软件进行描述性分析、书目耦合分析和概念分析：Biblioshiny for Bibliometrix（用于描述性和概念性分析）和 VOSViewer（用于书目关联）。对学术文献的分析表明，LSCM 领域的大部分注意力都集中在技术熟练程度、定量能力和操作专业知识上。对硬技能的过度强调表明，在认识到 LSCM 不断发展所需的全方位能力方面可能存在疏忽。本研究的实际应用包括帮助专业人员制定个性化培训计划，帮助物流协会开发更广泛的技能以应对重大变化，以及帮助大学设计物流软技能专业课程。在理论方面，研究人员深入探讨了物流软技能与技术熟练程度之间错综复杂的关系，对人力资源部门如何有效提升公司整体价值提出了重要见解。

The rapid integration of generative AI (GenAI) into industries and society has prompted a re-evaluation of copyright and intellectual property rights (IPR) frameworks. GenAI's ability to produce original content using data from human-created sources raises critical ethical and legal concerns. Current copyright and IPR frameworks, designed around human authorship, are insufficient to address these challenges. This study, using a multi-perspective approach, explores GenAI's disruptive potential in replicating or transforming copyrighted materials, challenging established IPR norms. Findings highlight gaps in legislation and the opacity of GenAI platforms. To address these issues, this study presents a Dynamic Ethical Framework linked to a future global fair use policy, aiming to guide responsible GenAI development and use. By incorporating insights from domain experts, this study contextualizes emerging challenges and potential solutions within broader societal and technological trends. That said, this study calls for international collaboration and further research to reform IPR related laws and frameworks, ensuring they remain relevant and equitable in a GenAI-driven era.

生成式人工智能（GenAI）迅速融入行业和社会，促使人们重新评估版权和知识产权（IPR）框架。GenAI利用人工来源的数据制作原创内容的能力引发了关键的伦理和法律问题。目前围绕人类作者身份设计的版权和知识产权框架不足以应对这些挑战。本研究采用多视角方法，探讨了GenAI在复制或转化受版权保护材料方面的颠覆性潜力，挑战了现有的知识产权规范。调查结果突出了立法方面的差距和GenAI平台的不透明性。为了解决这些问题，本研究提出了一个与未来全球合理使用政策相关联的动态伦理框架，旨在指导负责任的基因ai开发和使用。通过结合领域专家的见解，本研究将新兴挑战和潜在解决方案置于更广泛的社会和技术趋势中。尽管如此，本研究呼吁国际合作和进一步研究，以改革与知识产权相关的法律和框架，确保它们在基因驱动的时代保持相关性和公平性。

In the dynamic world of construction projects, fostering innovation is paramount. This study investigates the transformative potential of shared leadership as a catalyst for team innovation. We examine knowledge-sharing density as a critical mediator through the lens of knowledge management. We adopted a mixed methods approach, collecting multi-wave and multi-source field data and using social network measures. The results demonstrate shared leadership acts as a direct driver of knowledge-sharing density, facilitating innovation in construction projects. Knowledge-sharing density emerges as a transformative force, mediating the impact of shared leadership on team innovation. This intricate relationship unveils hidden potential for innovation within construction teams. Results also show the influence of team open-mindedness norms, which moderate the direct link between knowledge-sharing density and team innovation and the indirect influence of shared leadership. This study pioneers an integrated approach to understanding leadership and knowledge management in the construction sector, with important insights for team leadership, knowledge-sharing, and project performance.

Understanding the patterns of innovative technological collaboration between universities and clusters of high-tech firms, along with the involvement of female inventors, is crucial for both regional and national development. Here, we explore the technological collaboration between Silicon Fen (SF) firms and University of Cambridge (UoC) as a cluster of high-tech businesses and a main research university located in close proximity, respectively, focusing on the involvement of female inventors, based on the evaluation of join patent ownership, and examination of technological collaboration strength (TCS), with respect to the characteristics of firms such as age, size and sector. A quantitative bibliometric approach is utilised to analyse more than 93,000 patents generated by UoC and SF firms. According to the results obtained, smaller and older businesses exhibit greater collaboration bonds with the university, accommodating a greater proportion of collaborative female inventors. Pharma/Biotech sector of Silicon Fen has a greatest value of TCS (1.6 × 10^–2), and accommodates the greatest ratio of female inventors (20.8 %). Our findings suggest the need to encourage younger and larger businesses, and those beyond the Pharma/Biotech sector to involve more female inventors in their technological collaboration with university, given that university policies can have a positive impact in addressing the gender gap in technology and innovation. Theoretical and managerial implications of the results are discussed.

了解大学与高科技企业集群之间的创新技术合作模式以及女性发明家的参与情况，对于地区和国家的发展都至关重要。在此，我们探讨了硅芬（SF）企业与剑桥大学（UoC）之间的技术合作，剑桥大学既是高科技企业集群，又是毗邻的主要研究型大学，我们在评估加入专利所有权的基础上，重点关注女性发明家的参与情况，并根据企业的年龄、规模和行业等特征，考察技术合作强度（TCS）。研究采用定量文献计量学方法，分析了由 UoC 和 SF 公司产生的 93,000 多项专利。结果表明，规模较小和历史较长的企业与大学的合作关系更紧密，合作的女性发明人比例更高。硅芬的制药/生物技术部门的 TCS 值最高（1.6 × 10-2），女性发明家的比例也最高（20.8%）。我们的研究结果表明，有必要鼓励更年轻、更大型的企业以及制药/生物技术行业以外的企业让更多的女性发明家参与到与大学的技术合作中来，因为大学政策可以对解决技术和创新中的性别差距问题产生积极影响。本文讨论了研究结果的理论和管理意义。
