Grounded in consumer decision-making styles and involvement theory, this sequential exploratory mixed-methods research examines these variations across high-, medium- and low-involvement product categories and associations with situational involvement. A preliminary study identified package holidays, high-street clothes and takeaway food vouchers as high-, medium- and low-involvement categories, respectively. Semi-structured interviews with 28 UK online shoppers were analysed using content analysis with intercoder reliability assessment. Questionnaire data from the package holidays (<i>n</i> = 464), high-street clothes (<i>n</i> = 521) and takeaway food vouchers (<i>n</i> = 420) were analysed using structural equation modelling. Brand consciousness, perfectionism, price consciousness and web security were positively associated with situational involvement across all three categories. Fulfilment and impulsiveness were positively associated, and inertia negatively associated, for high-street clothes and takeaway food vouchers. Fashion consciousness was positively associated for high-street clothes, whereas health consciousness for takeaway food vouchers and safety for package holidays were not significantly associated. The findings qualify product-neutral applications of consumer decision-making styles by identifying category-invariant, partially shared and category-specific dimensions. Retailers can use these patterns to tailor product information and communication to the decision-making styles relevant to each product category.</p>","PeriodicalId":48192,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Consumer Studies","volume":"50 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijcs.70271","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149205831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, few works have investigated this issue in the family business context, none of which directly address the role of family owners' nonfinancial preferences on GPI. To extend our knowledge on this topic, this study builds on the socioemotional wealth (SEW) perspective to investigate how SEW affects GPI in family firms, while also considering the mediating role of absorptive capacity. Drawing on the FIBER conceptualization of SEW, we relate five SEW dimensions to potential/realized absorptive capacity and GPI. Our empirical analysis on a sample of 249 private family firms indicates that family firms' inclination toward GPI depends on the SEW dimensions that are valued by the owning family. Furthermore, potential and realized absorptive capacity mediate the relationship between four SEW dimensions (family control and influence, identification of family members, binding social ties, and renewal of family bonds) and GPI. Overall, this study demonstrates the importance of considering the interrelation between family and organizational factors to understand green product innovation heterogeneity in the family business context.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Managerial Summary</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>This study explores how family owners' SEW preferences influence GPI through absorptive capacity. Our findings reveal that when family firms emphasize reputation, stakeholder trust, or continuity across generations, developing both potential and realized absorptive capacity is essential for driving GPI. To achieve this, we recommend that firms invest in cross-functional collaboration, form partnerships with universities or research institutions, and implement training programs that keep employees informed about emerging trends and technologies. These practices strengthen the firm's ability to identify, integrate, and apply external knowledge, translating it into effective green product innovation strategies. Additionally, we find that when family firms prioritize control, GPI practices must adapt to preserve family decision-making authority. Family-led innovation teams and collaboration with trusted external advisors can help firms absorb external knowledge while safeguarding family influence. Therefore, we advise family businesses to tailor their knowledge management and innovation strategies to their specific SEW priorities in order to foster GPI. For policymakers, these findings highlight concrete pathways to support family firms' roles in green innovation, contributing to broader policy initiatives such as the European Union's research and innovation agenda.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":16900,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Product Innovation Management","volume":"43 6","pages":"1034-1061"},"PeriodicalIF":12.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149206118","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 uncertainty may limit opportunities to improve brand outcomes through these interactions. Drawing on a conversational norms perspective, this research examines whether downgrading competitor praise (minimizing praise to convey agreement and modesty norms) can enhance brand outcomes. A field observation of 105 brand-to-brand praise posts on X first reveals that most praise does not receive a response. Across three experiments involving 974 participants recruited from China and the United States (US), we compare downgrading praise with no response, a simple thank-you, and upgrading praise. The results show that downgrading praise increases consumers' perceived social closeness to the brand, thereby enhancing brand outcomes. Importantly, this effect emerged in the Chinese sample but not in the US sample, indicating a cultural-contextual boundary condition. These findings extend the literature on brand-to-brand dialogue and conversational norms. From a marketing perspective, these findings suggest that brands should strategically use downgrading of competitor praise to strengthen consumer–brand relationships, particularly in collectivist cultural contexts.</p>","PeriodicalId":48192,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Consumer Studies","volume":"50 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2026-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijcs.70268","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149205832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet limited empirical attention has been given to how cost-oriented strategies interact with locally embedded adaptive mechanisms to sustain hotel operations when formal institutional support and conventional recovery pathways are constrained. Addressing this gap, this study examines how hotels in Ibb, Yemen, use cost leadership and informal partnerships to maintain business continuity during prolonged armed conflict. A qualitative case-study design was employed, drawing on semi-structured interviews with 20 hotel managers from three- and four-star hotels. The data were analyzed thematically following Braun and Clarke's six-phase approach, supported by NVivo, with triangulation, member checking, and contextual analysis used to strengthen the trustworthiness of the findings. Six interconnected themes emerged: operational disruptions, cost leadership strategies, internal organizational adjustments, effectiveness and morale, informal networks and partnerships, and crisis-related learning. The findings show that hotel survival depended not simply on reducing costs, but on combining operational retrenchment including service simplification, local procurement, workforce flexibility, and energy-saving practices with adaptive pricing, localized resource mobilization, and informal partnerships with NGOs and community actors. The study contributes to crisis-management and hospitality-resilience research by showing that, under prolonged conflict, cost leadership functions less as a conventional competitive positioning strategy and more as an operational survival mechanism embedded within locally coordinated adaptive responses. Practically, the findings highlight the importance of flexible cost structures, local supply networks, community partnerships, and decentralized adaptation for hospitality organizations operating under sustained institutional and infrastructural disruption.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47674,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management","volume":"34 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149205729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While prior variance-based research has examined the linear effects of digital infrastructure quality, entrepreneurial capabilities, innovation orientation, and regulatory support on digital entrepreneurial performance, the configurational conditions through which high performance is produced and prevented remain unexplored. This study identifies which combinations of conditions are sufficient for high and low digital entrepreneurial performance in MENA digital ventures, and whether success and failure pathways are causally asymmetric. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on survey data from 296 digital ventures across five Middle Eastern countries, the study applies fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to identify multiple sufficient causal pathways. The configurational model conceptualises digital entrepreneurial performance as an emergent outcome arising from different combinations of four conditions: digital infrastructure quality, digital entrepreneurial capabilities innovation orientation, and regulatory support. Findings Four equifinal configurations are sufficient for high digital entrepreneurial performance and three configurations are sufficient for its absence. No single condition is universally necessary in kind. Success and failure pathways are causally asymmetric no failure configuration is the logical inverse of any success configuration. Regulatory support presents the clearest asymmetric pattern, enabling performance through three distinct combinatorial mechanisms while its absence compounds failure through two distinct deficit pathways. Originality/value This study is among the first to apply fsQCA to digital entrepreneurship in MENA, providing empirical support for equifinality, causal asymmetry, and configurational complexity in a context dominated by symmetric variable-oriented analysis. The findings demonstrate that high and low digital entrepreneurial performance emerge through fundamentally distinct causal recipes, with important implications for complexity theory, dynamic capabilities theory, and institutional theory in emerging market contexts.","PeriodicalId":47889,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Enterprise Information Management","volume":"27 1","pages":"1-21"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149210664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Design/methodology/approach A quantitative research design was employed, combining a narrative literature review with empirical validation through a survey of 205 professionals involved in DT projects in two countries. Data were collected using a seven-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics to identify patterns and assess the relevance of regulatory factors. Findings The findings reveal that organizations strongly prioritize regulatory compliance, data protection, and digital governance as key regulatory dimensions emphasized within DT initiatives. These elements are associated with ensuring security, ethics, and organizational legitimacy. However, aspects such as internal policy updates, regulatory influence on strategic decisions, and challenges related to regulatory obsolescence receive comparatively less emphasis, highlighting gaps in adaptive and strategic regulatory integration. Research limitations/implications This study advances the theoretical understanding of digital transformation by establishing regulation as a multidimensional and integral component of DT initiatives. It provides empirical support for a structured set of regulatory factors (such as compliance, data protection, governance, and regulatory risk management), demonstrating their differentiated integration within organizations. Practical implications The results provide actionable guidance for managers by emphasizing the integration of compliance, data protection, and governance mechanisms into DT initiatives from early stages. They also highlight the need to strengthen internal policy alignment and responsiveness to evolving regulatory environments. Originality/value This study contributes by conceptualizing regulation as an internal and active dimension of DT rather than merely an external constraint. It proposes and empirically validates a structured set of regulatory factors and offers a replicable instrument that bridges legal compliance and technological innovation, supporting more sustainable and effective digital governance.","PeriodicalId":47889,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Enterprise Information Management","volume":"16 1","pages":"1-21"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149210508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
