The purpose of the present research is to provide a panoramic view of this domain under one roof by comprehending the intrahousehold financial management (IFM) processes, which include income organization, money management systems, financial management role involvement, and control over finances within romantic relationships. This systematic literature review adopted the PRISMA protocol to identify 87 research papers published from 1987 to June 2024, acquired from the Scopus database. The bibliometric analysis is used to identify publication trends and major publication outlets. Further, the integrated theories, contexts, and methods—antecedents, decisions, and outcomes (TCM-ADO) framework is used to locate TCM in IFM research. This review reveals 47 different antecedents classified based on four broad categories: demographic and socio-economic characteristics, psychological characteristics, personality and relationship processes; decisions; and outcomes of IFM such as relationship processes (e.g., relationship satisfaction, sexual satisfaction, and marital intent) and individual well-being (e.g., satisfaction with finances, consumption share, equality, and autonomy). Notably, the research also highlights inconsistencies leading to non-consensus in findings, with possible explanations and areas overlooked. These limitations underscore the need for researchers to adopt multidimensional approaches to assimilate the nuances of IFM further. To overcome identified literature gaps, the review demonstrates future research directions corresponding to the dimensions of the TCM-ADO framework. Besides, the present research aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030 and can help financial counselors, relationship therapists, and policymakers promote well-being (SDG-3) and gender equality (SDG-10).</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48192,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Consumer Studies","volume":"49 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144673050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper constructs a nonlinear programming model with inequality constraints, aiming to maximize consumer welfare while considering the constraint imposed by consumer budgets. Notably, quality—an important factor for consumers—is incorporated into the utility function to explore its role in enhancing consumer welfare within the platform economy. The results indicate that as product quality variety increases, consumers can access products of more desirable quality, thereby improving consumer welfare. We further analyze consumers’ optimal purchasing strategies across different income levels. Our results reveal a counterintuitive phenomenon, when the income elastic demand, an income increase prompts consumers to favor a strategy characterized by increasing quantity while reducing quality. Lower but desirable quality may contribute more to consumer welfare than the highest quality as income levels increase, which challenges the prevailing assumption that higher income invariably leads to the purchase of higher-quality products. Finally, an empirical study using a panel dataset of actual transaction observations of wash products — a subcategory under Beauty & Personal Care — on Amazon over the past two years, with 32,000 transactions, employing linear regression analysis, confirms that the significant role of desirable quality in enhancing consumer welfare.

The analytical framework integrates product return volume as a key parameter and employs mathematical modeling to systematically explore the dynamic interactions between two principal market participants: the company (as the employer) and the streamer. The model evaluates consumer purchasing decisions, company profitability, and streamer utility under two contrasting scenarios—exaggerated versus truthful product descriptions—and identifies the conditions under which streamers promoting low-quality products are incentivized to report product quality truthfully. Satisfying these conditions encourages streamers to prioritize honest communication. The findings demonstrate that for both experience goods and credence goods, a commission structure linked to product return volume can enhance sales effort—particularly when such effort effectively reduces return volume. Both sales-based and return-based commission schemes significantly influence streamer behavior during live streaming. Crucially, when the ratio of return-based to sales-based commissions falls below a certain threshold, streamers working with low-quality firms are more likely to provide truthful product information. These results offer theoretical guidance for firms to refine their streamer compensation strategies, promoting greater transparency and more sustainable practices in the live e-commerce ecosystem.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48399,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Retailing and Consumer Services","volume":"87 ","pages":"Article 104433"},"PeriodicalIF":11.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144678880","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}

Prior research on hospitality communication has not solved this issue, as AI-generated images are occasionally promoted as effective marketing tools across various service contexts, while other scholars caution against their use due to the significant concerns they may trigger among consumers. Following a mixed-methods approach to find boundary conditions, our research reveals that consumers prefer hospitality services advertised with real images, rather than those featuring AI-generated images. Nevertheless, this effect is moderated by two key factors. In particular, the research reveals that the negative influence of using generative AI images on intentions to use and recommend the service are strengthened for hedonic rather than utilitarian services, and for highly rather than lowly involved customers. A qualitative study further explores the reasons behind this rejection, highlighting that customers perceive companies using AI-generated images as impersonal, less professional, lacking credibility, and potentially misleading, as they impede customers’ ability to envision the actual experience. Implications for management suggest that, while generative AI holds promise for enhancing communication, companies should use AI-generated images with caution. The discussion also proposes future research directions to explore the broader implications of AI use in marketing.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48422,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Management","volume":"85 ","pages":"Article 102954"},"PeriodicalIF":20.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144679751","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}

However, research related to SDGs and business practices contributing to their implementation often focuses on large enterprises, whereas small‐ and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) receive limited attention. By addressing the scarce literature, this study investigates the barriers and enablers Swedish multinational SMEs face when contributing to SDGs through their operations. A qualitative, multicase study involving six multinational SMEs in Sweden was conducted using an abductive approach and thematic analysis. The findings revealed several barriers and enablers that SMEs face when implementing practices and processes to contribute to achieving the SDGs. Some factors, such as the alignment of objectives, company and owner incentives, assessment of implemented practices and processes, government incentives, knowledge and competence, time, collaboration, and partnerships, functioned as both barriers and enablers. However, some factors serve more as barriers rather than enablers. It includes adaptability, reporting, standardization, and tools. Meanwhile, certain factors primarily acted as enablers, including legislation, willingness to change, internal alignment, long‐term perspective, and transparency. The results were compared with recent research, revealing similarities and discrepancies. The significant contribution of this study is that it provides a roadmap to SDG contribution organized in step‐by‐step actionable recommendations for policymakers and managers that can be efficiently applied to SMEs.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"98 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144677263","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}
