This study investigates the key factors influencing consumer behavior (i.e., loyalty) in live streaming commerce by employing an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design. In Study 1, survey data were collected from 507 participants, followed by semistructured interviews in Study 2. The PLS-SEM results indicate that processing fluency (both imagery and comprehension fluency) fosters immersion, subsequently satisfying consumers' basic psychological needs. The fulfillment of these basic psychological needs fosters loyalty. Additionally, self-disclosure and transportability play a moderating role. The fsQCA results identified four configurations, each with different combinations of causal conditions that explain the formation of loyalty. The follow-up qualitative study confirms the findings and identifies additional themes that are worth research consideration.

This study examines how FinTech and knowledge‐driven innovations (i.e., human capital, ICT access, and innovation) shape CE outcomes across 33 African countries from 1997 to 2021. Using feasible generalized least squares (FGLS), panel‐corrected standard errors (PCSE), instrumental variables (2SLS), and quantile regression (MM‐QR), the study finds that FinTech adoption significantly enhances CE, especially through its role in enabling digital financial inclusion and low‐waste practices. Human capital positively impacts CE. ICT infrastructure shows mixed but important effects: mobile cellular subscriptions (ICT1) broaden access to digital tools, while secure internet servers (ICT2) are essential for advanced CE technologies. Innovation output exerts positive effects on CE and enhances the impact of FinTech. Regional findings reveal that Southern Africa shows the highest FinTech‐driven CE gains, supported by strong ICT and human capital; East and West Africa benefit from ICT2 and patenting, while Central Africa's CE potential is limited by weak digital infrastructure. These findings highlight the need for integrated, region‐specific policy approaches to accelerate CE transitions.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"122 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145003086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on self‐collected survey data from 97 Polish impact startups, this paper investigates the roles of resource availability, innovation performance, and sustainability orientation in scaling impact. Building on the resource‐ and knowledge‐based view and threat rigidity theory, we propose a moderated mediation model and empirically demonstrate positive effects of knowledge resources on innovation performance, which subsequently enhances impact scaling. Interestingly, a startup's sustainability orientation is found to play an ambivalent role in the resource–innovation–scaling relationship. While it negatively moderates the link between knowledge resources and innovation performance, a positive effect emerges in the innovation–scaling connection. This paradox suggests that the more sustainability entrepreneurs face trade‐offs related to sustainability, the less willing they are to invest in innovation. Our findings hold important implications for both researchers and practitioners.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"70 5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145003101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study is more expansive in two crucial respects. First, it goes beyond the board to encompass senior executive diversity. Second, it also examines sustainability disclosure and assurance of that disclosure. Using 4618 firm‐year observations from companies in the UK FTSE All‐Share Index for the period 2002–2022, we find that both forms of gender diversity are positively associated with sustainability performance and disclosure, but not assurance. Sustainability‐related executive compensation moderates the relationships. We find no strong evidence of a critical mass effect, but we do see signs that executive gender diversity can substitute for board gender diversity. This comprehensive study of the gender diversity‐sustainability nexus provides significant new findings and demonstrates the importance of not leaving female executives out of the picture. Implications for researchers and practitioners are discussed.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145003098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper challenges the conventional focus on ecological appeals, arguing that a deeper, unaddressed psychological barrier is at play. We identify and empirically validate healthfulness perception as the key mediating mechanism that explains this consumer resistance. Across four experiments, this study concludes that: (1) upcycling disclosure triggers negative healthfulness perceptions, which directly suppress purchase intentions; (2) pro‐environmental concern moderates the negative effect of upcycling disclosure, such that the effect is weaker for consumers with high environmental concern; and (3) targeted health‐related taglines successfully neutralize these negative perceptions, significantly boosting product preference and willingness to buy. These results offer a clear directive: the path to encouraging the purchase of upcycled foods lies not in amplifying their ecological benefits, but in proactively promoting their perceived healthfulness. Policymakers can also leverage these insights to promote upcycled foods as both healthy and environmentally friendly, encouraging sustainable consumption practices and reducing food waste at a broader level.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145003157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on a combination of a complex systems lens and the global value chain and global governance approaches, the paper uses literature analysis and expert interviews, evaluated through qualitative content and causal loop analysis, to analyze the complex potential impacts on value chains and actors' evolving responsibilities within global value chains. Results show that textile chains are expected to experience positive and negative outcomes from the regulatory change. The impact upstream, such as on cotton farmers, remains unclear. Positive impacts of the mandatory regulatory change depend on facilitators like collaborative governance, value chain transparency, political support, measurability, external checks, and industry know‐how. Barriers include power structures within global value chains, regulatory limitations, among others. The Regulation and the Directive can drive sustainability within garment supply chains, provided barriers are addressed from the beginning and facilitators are promoted throughout the supply chain. However, substitution of cotton by more easily traceable synthetic fibers may result in an effective traceability solution rather than an effective solution to solve social and environmental problems.","PeriodicalId":21026,"journal":{"name":"Regulation & Governance","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145003156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A quantitative survey was conducted with 390 operations managers from manufacturing sectors across Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Jordan. The data were analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS‐SEM). The results indicate that competitive pressure, internal resources and customer preferences significantly influence strategic direction, which in turn positively mediates their effect on sustainable supply chain (SSCM) performance. Legal pressure, however, was not found to significantly impact strategic direction, suggesting that regulatory mandates exert limited influence on manufacturing firms in the region.
