We also analyze the moderating role of internal governance mechanisms (women CEO duality and gender diversity). Our empirical outcomes indicate that the positive relationship between CEO career embeddedness and green innovation is stronger when females have dual roles (CEO and chair) but weaker when there is a female is on board. These results suggest that female’s dual role (CEO and chair) makes them more powerful and gives them freedom and dominance in decision-making. On the contrary, the positive association between CEO career embeddedness and green innovation is weaker because females are risk-averse and conservative, and they reduce the CEO's propensity for quality strategic decisions when they are on board.

The results indicate that sharing economy platforms and MAS have a significant effect on financial performance. Informal education has a significant effect on sharing economy platforms and MAS, whereas formal education has a negative effect on financial performance. Demographic factors were observed to have a significant moderating effect on the path from MAS to financial performance. This study introduces the Adaptive Financial Capability Model (AFCM), a novel framework that uniquely integrates adaptive learning derived from informal education with demographic factors. By bridging practical training with contextual variables, such as gender, age, and business tenure, the AFCM provides an original perspective on enhancing financial management and technology adoption within MSMEs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity","volume":"11 1","pages":"Article 100447"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143138103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Necropsy is the most effective technique for evaluating plastic ingestion in larger marine species, providing detailed post-mortem insights, while laboratory inspection is ideal for studying smaller organisms like bivalves and copepods.

To address this gap, 600 Thai university students were invited to join this research via questionnaire surveys. The collected data were analyzed using a path analysis technique. Findings from the analysis revealed two factors, namely perceived usefulness and perceived value positively predicted the student trust. Moreover, it was observed that technology readiness positively predicted both ease of use and perceived usefulness while ease of use positively predicted perceived usefulness and perceived value. Additionally, perceived value, student trust, and perceived usefulness determined students’ intention to adopt smart classrooms. Finally, the involvement of technological innovation enhanced the associations: (1) between perceived usefulness and adoption intention and (2) between trust and adoption intention. These results offer supportive evidence for the newly proposed theoretical model that highlights the associations between perceived value, trust, perceived usefulness, and adoption intention.

The primary objective is to reduce the attrition rate by enhancing customer support through peer-to-peer interactions. Initially, we analyze the customer interaction network and thread structures using SNA to identify isolated inquiries. Following this, we apply a deep learning-based model to calculate a similarity score between these queries, which serves as the foundation for our semantic similarity approach to product discussion questions. The results of our experiment, conducted on a Moroccan e-commerce platform, demonstrate the efficacy of our recommendation method in connecting customers with relevant answers and fellow customers who can assist them.

The results show a long-term co-integration among financial innovation, development, and economic growth, revealing challenges to sustainable development. Both countries show a negative long-term relationship between financial innovation, development, and economic growth, with India's impact larger in magnitude than China's. In contrast, short-term results are positive and significant for both nations. The ECT term suggests India requires more short-run adjustments to reach equilibrium. Overall, financial initiatives in both countries, amid globalization and monetary challenges, do not support sustainable long-term GDP growth but have short-term positive effects. China performs better due to smaller negative coefficients and fewer adjustments needed.
