This study of 125 Indonesian manufacturing firms from 2019 to 2023 reveals that while ESG practices do not directly enhance firm value, they indirectly boost it through their positive influence on investment decisions, whereas financing decisions play no significant mediating or direct role.
This study develops and validates a dynamic managerial capability framework for digital organizational transformation in China, demonstrating that leaders' abilities to sense opportunities, orchestrate strategy, govern human-machine collaboration, and reconfigure routines are critical for successfully leveraging AI and the metaverse.
This paper proposes a framework for constructing a diversified mining share portfolio by integrating technical and financial risk assessments with specific valuation metrics—such as EV/NPV and P/NAV—across various company sizes and commodity types to demonstrate how operational scale, commodity diversity, and strategic capital management influence share performance and valuation.
This study utilizes a Panel Vector Autoregression model on Slovak district-level data from 2001 to 2024 to demonstrate that registered social enterprises significantly contribute to reducing regional long-term unemployment, with their most pronounced impact emerging after a three-year lag.
This study of 2,694 AI-finance articles (2015–2025) reveals that global collaboration, funding, and open access are the primary drivers of citation impact, while a "Complexity Paradox" penalizes methodologically specialized topics like Deep Learning and interpretable Risk Management, suggesting that audience breadth and novelty outweigh technical sophistication in determining scholarly influence.
This study demonstrates that in Ethiopia, sustainable waste management practices enhance firm environmental performance by fostering intrapreneurship orientation, a process that is significantly strengthened by external regulatory pressure and top management's environmental commitment.
This study of Chinese listed firms from 2016 to 2023 reveals that while biodiversity risk disclosure has increased in visibility and is driven by firm characteristics and policy agendas, it remains superficial and economically unintegrated, failing to demonstrate a meaningful association with firm-level product-market or financing outcomes.
