As the Earth’s temperatures rise, biodiversity is plummeting, soil nutrients are being lost, and the world population keeps growing. The need for fundamental changes in the agri-food sector now seems undeniable. Technological advancement has often been touted as a solution on the road to sustainability, and in recent decades the conversation has been enriched by frameworks such as the socio-technical transitions approach (Geels, 2011, 2019). According to this approach, sustainability transitions rely on taking a systemic outlook to change: technological advancement is key, but so also is restructuring social meanings, consumer behavior, policies, business models, and so on (Geels, 2019). This requires the involvement of multiple actors in different fields of life – scientists in various disciplines, policymakers, educators, and industry alike.

People have several motives for migrating. These vary from business opportunity exploration, work/employment, education, marriage, safety, and fear. The World Migration Report (2018) estimated the rate of internal migration (people migrating within their own country) at 740 million globally. Many have an aspiration and dream of migrating to some developed region or foreign land to seek better opportunities. The home country of this paper’s authors, India, has also had a rich history of migration and immigrants.

Traditionally, for complex issues such as sustainability or general-purpose technologies like AI, frameworks are used to create structure and to decompose aspects into specific categories and maturity stages. These frameworks serve an essential role in educating management, creating clarity, improving the ability to act, and accelerating adoption. A number of AI maturity frameworks have been published (see Figure 1) that typically cover specific aspects of AI integration in business, but do not holistically integrate the technical, organisational, and ethical aspects in a comprehensive way. In this paper, we propose an AI Innovation Maturity Index (AIMI) as an attempt to rectify this.

The phenomenon of “disruptive innovation” is frequently discussed amongst scholars and business practitioners alike. Recent discussions especially have acknowledged the crucial role of business models for spurring disruptive dynamics (Christensen et al., 2018; Cozzolino et al., 2018). Anchored in conceptual statements from Christensen (2006) and Markides (2006), the essential inducer of disruptive processes is argued to lie in business model innovation.

Researchers agree that organizations and the prevailing rules of competition alike are fundamentally changing in the digital age (Brynjolfsson & McAffee, 2014; Iansiti & Lakhani, 2017; Parker et al., 2018; McAffee & Brynjolfsson, 2018). The recent spread of digital technology is enabling new and promising possibilities for many firms, such as efficiency increases (Kugler, 2019), new products and services, or innovative business models (Parker et al., 2018). Especially the use of insights from data and data science seems to be a key success factor in the digital economy. The fact that at least seven out of the ten most valuable companies today ground their business in data, platforms, and networks, demonstrates this.
研究人员一致认为，在数字时代，组织和主流竞争规则都在发生根本性变化（Brynjolfsson和McAffee，2014；Iansiti和Lakhani，2017；Parker等人，2018；McAffee和Brynjolpsson，2018）。最近数字技术的普及为许多公司带来了新的、有前景的可能性，例如效率提高（Kugler，2019）、新产品和服务或创新商业模式（Parker et al.，2018）。尤其是使用数据和数据科学的见解似乎是数字经济的一个关键成功因素。事实上，如今十家最有价值的公司中，至少有七家的业务以数据、平台和网络为基础，这证明了这一点。

The vast array of available digital platform data together with the rapid emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) insights and services have given rise to a perception of technology abundance. However, while most platforms have enough data processing solutions, products, and vendors, they are typically lacking a single organizational view into 1) what AI transformation services they need to use, on 2) which digital assets, regarding 3) who, when, and why they should be provided, as well as 4) what services they should be integrating with, and 5) why they should be doing it.

387 firms that were ranked as top R&D spenders in Europe for 2013. We processed the keyword occurrences in a simplified version of latent semantic analysis based on the application of principal component analysis to identify the specific combinations of words used by companies to communicate sustainability issues on their websites. The results show that “sustainable innovation” and “sustainable operations” based on partnerships and cooperation represent a dominant part of companies’ online communication strategies. One of the findings suggests a strong relationship between the communication of sustainable innovation aspects and sales, which offers a promising message to companies looking for evidence about the potential impact of their commitment to sustainable operations and innovation. Sustainability communications can bring your business many benefits, and help you stand out from your competitors.

literature shows that apart from revenue growth and cost optimization, data analytics can decrease customer acquisitions costs, retain valuable customers, help predict customer behaviour, improve customer experience, reduce fraud, provide real time offers, and enhance decision making (McAfee & Brynjolfsson, 2012; Redman, 2015; Wamba et al., 2017). However, data on its own is not a source of competitive advantage since all firms can collect hordes of data from a variety of sources. Rather, data must be purposely analyzed, and activated. Nonetheless, firms face a host of issues organizational, financial, physical, and human resources in their attemps to create a competitive capability from the use of data (Gupta & George, 2016; Ghasemaghaei, 2018), and may easily fail to exploit the benefits of data analytics (Erevelles et al., 2016).

solutions. This article studies future foresight mechanisms and practices in innovative SMEs operating in circular economy–related industries. The future demands set by legislation and regulation, consumer buying behaviour, and environmental consciousness, all have a strong impact on an SME’s future horizon, in which there may be prosperous business opportunities as well as several challenges. This paper presents a qualitative case study conducted on seven Finnish circular economy-oriented SMEs. The case study reveals that the SMEs in this industrial sector are quite active in foresight activities, and that they have developed a variety of practices for effectively utilizing foresight information in their product development and strategic planning activities. The best way to keep something bad from happening is to see it ahead of time ... and you can't see it if you refuse to face the possibility.
