In addition to this reporting, diversity (gender and cultural) on boards, which is strongly promoted at the EU level, has gained increasing importance. However, prior research offers inconsistent results and leaves significant shortcomings regarding how the interaction of this diversity with the ESG pillars affects firm performance across governance structures. This study employs a fuzzy‐set qualitative comparative analysis and Refinitiv Eikon data of 554 European Union companies from 2023 to examine configuration pathways that combine gender and cultural diversity with ESG pillars, thus influencing firm performance across different governance forms. Drawing on Upper Echelons and Contingency Theories—enhanced by insights from Resource Dependence and Social Identity Theory lenses—we show that configurations combining gender and cultural diversity with the social pillar of ESG are linked to higher performance within one‐tier firms. In two‐tier firms, this higher performance is driven by environmental and social ESG pillars combined with cultural diversity. Recognizing that there is no single governance structure in the ESG and diversity context, we offer practitioners guidance on aligning ESG and diversity strategies with their governance architectures, developing governance‐sensitive policies, increasing transparency in diversity integration, promoting ESG competency training, and providing targeted incentives.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"86 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145255247","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 new index was calculated by subtracting a new ESG‐based sustainability uncertainty index (ESGUI) from ESG scores. This study employed Pedroni (2004) and Westerlund (2007) tests, as well as the DOLS method, for 12 developed countries from 2002 to 2020. It analyzed the impact of economic, geopolitical, climate, and energy price‐related uncertainties on both ESG and N‐ESG through eight different models. Empirical findings indicate that a 1% change in CPU, GPR, EPU, and OPU indices increases ESG by 0.048, 0.355, 0.111, and 0.044 units, respectively, while the same rate of change decreases N‐ESG by −6.501, −18.756, −8.972, and −8.193 units, respectively. These results can be interpreted as ESG scores may not fully reflect the “true” performance of companies in times of uncertainty, while N‐ESG provides a more accurate representation of sustainability practices. These results suggest that policymakers should focus their sustainability policies not only on increasing ESG scores but also on preserving the true value of ESG by reducing uncertainty effects.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145255249","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}

Focusing on Apple’s release of Core ML—a proprietary artificial intelligence module—in its mobile ecosystem, we employ a difference-in-differences design to investigate variations in complementor performance after adopting this ecosystem-sponsored architectural innovation. Our findings reveal that complementors’ technological and flow alignment with the ecosystem leader is critical for minimizing performance disruptions and enhancing value creation during ecosystem evolution.

Building on policy learning and collaborative governance literatures, we conceptualize learning as comprising two interdependent processes: policy-oriented learning (focused on technical effectiveness) and power-oriented learning (concerned with political feasibility). Drawing on 39 semi-structured interviews and extensive document analysis, we find that the EHR initiative followed a sequential learning pattern—technical solutions were developed before sufficient political support was secured—leading to a politically endorsed but technically flawed implementation. The study introduces the concept of parallel learning loops to explain how simultaneous engagement with technical and political dimensions can improve innovation outcomes. These findings advance theoretical understanding of collaborative learning in digital government and underscore the need for institutional designs that support concurrent technical and political deliberation in complex innovation processes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48258,"journal":{"name":"Government Information Quarterly","volume":"42 4","pages":"Article 102080"},"PeriodicalIF":10.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145267842","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}

Given this gap, this study undertakes a systematic literature review (SLR) using the Theory-Context-Characteristics-Methods (TCCM) framework and the SPAR-4-SLR protocol to identify 62 papers related to consumer repair decision-making. We find that the literature is generally atheoretical.

We synthesise the literature to propose a conceptual model of consumer repair decision-making and outline a comprehensive future research agenda based on the TCCM framework.
