In light of the limited prior research on this topic, the study employs a twofold approach. It begins by identifying the central themes present in current research at the intersection of franchising and blockchain technology. Next, it examines existing instances of implementations of blockchain technology and connects them to corresponding value chain operations in the franchising context. The study takes a comprehensive approach, combining bibliometric analysis with a semisystematic literature review, to offer insights into blockchain technology's potential future impact on the franchise industry. Specifically, it shows that franchise network governance can benefit significantly from attributes of blockchain such as transparency, efficiency, and trust as well as from its various applications such as smart contracts and decentralized autonomous organizations.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":18186,"journal":{"name":"Managerial and Decision Economics","volume":"46 3","pages":"1478-1500"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143565455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study theoretically elucidates the mechanism by which manufacturing firms' real estate investment behavior affects their factor efficiency and empirically examines it using data from listed Chinese manufacturing firms from 2007 to 2021. We find that real estate investment by manufacturing firms significantly inhibits firms' total factor productivity (TFP). The robustness of the findings is further confirmed by constructing a differences-in-differences (DID) model using a purchase restriction policy as an exogenous shock. Heterogeneity analysis shows that those more significantly negatively affected are technology- and labor-intensive non-state-owned firms, which are located in the central-eastern region of China and are in the growth or maturity stage. Exploring the mechanism of action reveals that firms' real estate investment behavior may reduce the level of firms' TFP by crowding out inputs in the research and development (R&amp;D) sector and reducing organizational management effectiveness. This study provides new empirical evidence for identifying the impact of real estate investment on firms' TFP and deepens the understanding of firms' resource allocation effects.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":18186,"journal":{"name":"Managerial and Decision Economics","volume":"46 3","pages":"1459-1477"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143565264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Empirical evidence consistently shows that individuals with athletic backgrounds are favoured in the job market, receiving better wages and benefits than their nonathlete counterparts because of stereotypes about their managerial qualities, stress handling and team spirit. In contrast, music participation is often undervalued, with musicians facing wage disparities and discrimination despite the cognitive and emotional benefits associated with music playing and listening. Through a vignette study, this research identifies that participants prefer athletes for events aimed at team cohesion and musicians for events designed to enhance creative skills. The findings highlight a type of job market discrimination based on preferences for workplace programs, emphasizing the role of stereotypes in shaping these preferences. The study contributes to the understanding of how workplace social programs are designed and the underlying biases that influence these decisions, offering insights into the mechanisms of job market discrimination and the potential for more inclusive program design that recognizes the value of both athletic and musical participation.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":18186,"journal":{"name":"Managerial and Decision Economics","volume":"46 2","pages":"1029-1039"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143120216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By adopting sustainable practices and eco-friendly technologies, businesses can streamline processes, reduce waste, and optimize resource utilization. The global imperative to address environmental challenges has fueled a rush forward in green innovation (GI) efforts within organizations. As enterprises navigate the path to sustainability, evaluating and enhancing the efficiency of GII become imperative for long-term viability in an increasingly eco-conscious marketplace. Therefore, this study investigates the effectiveness of GII within enterprises, aiming to assess their efficiency in promoting environmental sustainability. This investigation employed a questionnaire survey to collect primary data from a sample of 202 individuals. The data that were gathered was examined using SPSS statistical software. The findings reveal that GII in enterprises exhibit a notable improvement in overall performance. The result reveals that the allocation of resources for GI significantly affects the effectiveness of GII in enterprises. The study's novelty lies in assessing the effectiveness of GII in various organizations, providing a nuanced understanding of their impact on resource use, cost-effectiveness, and environmental performance. The findings indicate that the level of employee engagement significantly enhances the efficiency of GII in enterprises.
