To enhance the role of females in society and engage them in economic development, an adequate business environment should be created, including opportunities in the gig economy. In this context, the Saudi government provides extensive support for current and potential female entrepreneurs across various aspects. This study builds on the Saudi government’s efforts to understand the effects of gig economy engagement (GEE), experiential learning (EL), and network expansion (NE) on entrepreneurial intention (EI). A sample of 208 female students was collected, and the developed hypotheses were tested using partial least squares structural equation modeling. The findings were intriguing, as GEE had a direct, positive, and significant relationship with EI and NE but no substantial relationship with EL. Conversely, EL had a direct and positive relationship with EI, while NE exhibited a positive and significant relationship with EI. The developed model validates the study’s context and has critical theoretical and practical implications for policymakers and researchers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101202,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Technology and Entrepreneurship","volume":"5 1","pages":"Article 100118"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145334695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through a multiple case study of five multinational manufacturing firms operating in B2B markets, this research uncovers how different Remanufacturing configurations support sustainable business development. The findings show that Remanufacturing-as-a-service (RaaS) can mitigate barriers, such as demand unpredictability and market cannibalisation, by embedding Remanufacturing into advanced service offerings, thus enhancing operational efficiency and long-term customer relationships. Conversely, Remanufacturing-as-a-product (RaaP) emerges as a viable strategy for market expansion in developing economies, enabling access to affordable, high-quality and resource-efficient products. However, each approach entails distinct requirements in terms of service capabilities, customer engagement and reverse logistics. On the basis of these findings, this paper develops a decision-making model that clarifies when and how firms should offer RaaP rather than RaaS.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101202,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Technology and Entrepreneurship","volume":"4 3","pages":"Article 100116"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145219340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose that a robust IT infrastructure potentially enhances an organization's capacity to enable its IT capabilities, fostering organizational readiness and self-efficacy, and encouraging more ambitious efforts in digital initiatives. We introduce two new concepts, <em>translating IT capabilities</em> and <em>enabling IT infrastructure,</em> to elucidate novel mechanisms through which IT infrastructure influences transformation efforts. PLS-SEM analysis of 124 hospital IT managers reveals that enabling IT infrastructure's impact is <em>fully mediated</em> by three translating IT capabilities: IT human, IT relationship, and IT architecture capabilities, with the IT human capability exerting the strongest influence. Our <em>Sustainable Digital Enablement Framework</em> offers novel insights, providing a dynamic roadmap for hospitals, policymakers, and stakeholders to enhance sustainable digital transformation efforts. The study also contributes from a theoretical point of view by providing further empirical confirmation of the fact that investing in IT's \"soft\" side (human skills, relationships, architecture) is as crucial as, if not more crucial than, the \"hard\" infrastructure for sustainable digital transformation and strategic alignment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101202,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Technology and Entrepreneurship","volume":"4 3","pages":"Article 100117"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144886237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a practical implication, this study helps to contrast the thinking of young people who will be future entrepreneurs with the experience of entrepreneurs who are already entrepreneurs, thus being able to compare both realities.

The analysis identifies three main lines of research. The first focuses on the structural foundations of sustainability, including circular economy, sustainable agriculture, and eco-innovation. The second addresses environmental policies promoted by the European Union and stands out as the most influential in terms of academic impact.

As a response, this study investigates how artificial intelligence (AI could be utilized as an information broker to enhance information sharing for collaborative decision-making in airline operations management. Adopting a qualitative research approach, we conducted 22 semi-structured interviews with managers and professionals from three critical airline functions - air, ground, and information technology - across multiple global airlines to examine how AI is used for coordination and information sharing in their operation and how it impacts operational processes and performances. The results show that AI in the airline industry is in its infancy with fragmented applications within the airline ecosystem, but managers highlight the need for implementation of context-aware, organizationally aligned, and carefully integrated AI into operational routines. Our findings also show that in order to use AI as an information broker, most participants prefer an agent-based model for operations management, however, integrating agent-based models require advanced data that need to be collected from process-based systems first. We further discuss theoretical and managerial implications and provide actionable recommendations for implementing AI in airline operations.

This study adopts an integrative and critical approach to examine how SE aligns with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and contributes to inclusive, resilient, and innovation-driven change. It addresses key research gaps—fragmented theoretical applications, limited sectoral analysis, and weak methodological generalizability—by synthesizing six foundational theories: behavioral decision theory, theory of planned behavior, social cognitive theory, institutional theory, social capital theory, and grounded theory. A systematic literature review was conducted using the PRISMA protocol to ensure rigor and transparency in selecting studies from 2015 to 2024. The review identifies thematic gaps in existing literature, including underexplored areas such as sector-specific financing, digital innovation, entrepreneurship in emerging sectors, sustainable technology adoption, and the contextual embedding of SE within SDG-linked outcomes. Using the theory-context-characteristics-methods (TCCM) framework and machine learning-based BERTopic modeling, this study analyzes SE research to offer both conceptual depth and empirical mapping. Its originality lies in the interdisciplinary integration of theory with advanced text analytics to uncover actionable, theory-driven insights into SE–SDG alignment. Findings reveal SEs’ contributions to SDGs 4, 8, and 9 through inclusive models and digital tools such as AI and blockchain. SE also advances SDGs 10, 11, and 12 while being enabled by institutions (SDG 16) and partnerships (SDG 17).
