Using the Pearl River Delta region in China and the Cluj-Napoca region in Romania as research subjects, this paper presents a comparative and interdisciplinary analysis of the drivers of regional innovation for sustainable development, the approaches and impacts of policy formulation and the dimensions of the impact of regional innovation on sustainable development through a literature analysis and case study approach. The study shows that the drivers of regional innovation for sustainable development mainly include government support (including financial and platform support) and the industrial capacity of local innovation and entrepreneurship (including academic capacity and industrialisation capacity); government policy formulation mainly has centralised and decentralised approaches, with centralisation requiring large upfront investment and decentralisation facing challenges in the integration of industry and research; the dimensions of regional innovation for sustainable development The main impact dimensions of regional innovation on sustainable development are industry-research synergy, social welfare, low carbon and environmental protection, and talent training. Through case studies, this paper also makes recommendations for stakeholders on the practical application of regional innovation. The findings and implications of this study are important references for policy makers, practitioners and researchers.","PeriodicalId":332827,"journal":{"name":"New Trends in Sustainable Business and Consumption","volume":"372 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115190116","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}

AI and robots can have different roles in the interaction with consumers, from simple transactional exchange relationships to more complex empathetic ones. The present research focuses in finding the constructs that affect these consumer-AI relationships, by analyzing acceptance, trust, interaction quality, empathy, attachment, anthropomorphism, self-disclosing behavior, loyalty. Based on literature review, we focused on pointing out the factors that predict and affect consumerAI interactions. In the first part of the paper the role of trust was analyzed, while in the last part we focused in defining the way in which attachment and gender characteristics affect the relationship between consumer and AI. Our research shows that there are different types of relationships depending on the context, depending on trust, attachment, empathy, loyalty and gender characteristics. These results have important implications in the way robots and AI will be integrated in the shopping experience of consumer. Depending on the closeness of the relationship between consumer-AI, there will be different activities and roles that the AI will take over. For this reason, it is important to understand all facets of this relationship in order to implement it in an optimal way.","PeriodicalId":332827,"journal":{"name":"New Trends in Sustainable Business and Consumption","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126140881","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}

It is more necessary to study these topics considering the crisis of the Covid-19 Pandemic, the geopolitical crisis in the region that has stopped multiple logistic processes related to the industry. In other words, it is important to connect the industrial strategies and policies of the European Union countries for the development of Industry 4.0/5.0, to digitize production systems, digital technological processes and robotization, efficient management of the production and distribution chain.

It also aimed to identify the factors that are likely to influence the turnover of the largest firms in the field. The research is based on secondary data. An interesting finding of our research is that despite the growth of e-Commerce in Romania during the pandemic, no online retail company is among the top 10 largest companies by turnover. Furthermore, Romanian consumers prefer retail companies located in isolated locations over shopping centers. A sample of the 10 largest retail companies in Romania was made by turnover in 2021. On the basis of the analysis of multiple linear regression, it could be established that the turnover of the companies in the sample depends on the number of employees, the size of the sales area, the productivity of the labor force, and the yield of the sales areas. The novelty of the data can be appreciated with the work having a high content of originality. From this point of view, it can make both contributions to the development of theory and practice, being useful both for students, researchers, academics, and for professionals.","PeriodicalId":332827,"journal":{"name":"New Trends in Sustainable Business and Consumption","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124863830","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}

The paper proposes a model for evaluating the effects of HRM practices on employee commitment and organizational culture. The empirical study in which the model is tested was carried out among 294 employees from Romanian organizations who answered the questionnaire questions. Structural equation modeling was used to process the data and obtain the results. HRM practices can directly influence employee engagement and organizational culture. Involving employees in the decision-making process, offering opportunities for career development, properly managing labor relations, and promoting diversity and inclusion are HRM practices that can increase employee engagement and develop a positive organizational culture. The study has important managerial implications by highlighting HRM practices that substantially affect employee engagement and organizational culture. Employees more involved and loyal to the organization are more likely to respect its values and goals, so the organizational culture becomes more substantial and better defined. Therefore, organizations must implement HRM practices that help increase employee engagement and develop a more robust and better-defined organizational culture.","PeriodicalId":332827,"journal":{"name":"New Trends in Sustainable Business and Consumption","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127618235","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}

Given that organizations with high digital maturity enjoy better financial outcomes than their competitors, budgets for digital transformation have recently increased significantly. This article provides a narrative review of the change management (CM) practices that have proven successful in the context of DT in comparison to the theoretical CM models, with three purposes: firstly, to validate the most effective CM practices for DT, secondly, to identify existing, but unemployed theoretical CM practices that could benefit DT and thirdly, to enhance the field of CM with new tactics that have proven successful in DT. Given the rapid pace of DT during COVID, the organizational change has been done ad-hoc and often without structure or analysis. This paper compares DT and CM theory and practice for the first time in the context of COVID. The findings show that leadership support, engaging people managers, creating change agent networks, efficient communication, training, as well as change reinforcement lead to better DT outcomes. DT could employ more of the tactics suggested by the CM theory in the areas of communication, coaching of people managers, leveraging change agent networks, assessing organizational change readiness and resistance management tactics. CM could adopt new tactics regarding participation of employees, collaboration with external partners and attracting outside talent. Both could benefit from more emphasis on organization culture. The findings represent a good foundation of best practices for DT and for developing a CM model that applies specifically to DT.","PeriodicalId":332827,"journal":{"name":"New Trends in Sustainable Business and Consumption","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131242147","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}

At the same time, between the phenomenon of globalization and ecological policies there is an impact relationship, with mutual requirements and with permanent changes. Design/methodology: Mix research technique has been used. While qualitative research entails in-depth literature readings and reports, quantitative analysis entails presenting data via graphs and tables. Findings: As a result of the present research, the link between globalization and sustainable development was found, a concept that leans towards both the ecological dimension and the economic and social one. At the same time, it stands out through various patterns or broad principles existing both nationally and globally. Originality/value: The article brings added value through the analysis carried out at the European, global and Romanian level and through the interpretation of statistical data related to ecological policy in the context of globalization. Possible practical implications: The implications can be either practical or theoretical. The first is the direct impact of your findings on related practices, while the second is the impact on the theories we have chosen in the present study.

The results were analysed using partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS4.10 software. Our findings have shown that there is a strong, positive relationship between intrinsic motivation, on the one hand, and extrinsic motivation, on the other hand, and employee satisfaction, as well as between rewards and recognition and extrinsic motivation. Moreover, our research did not find a significant correlation between rewards and recognition and intrinsic motivation, maybe due to the way reward and recognition (RR) was constructed, most items being related to financial, tangible rewards, which tend to have a more significant influence on extrinsic motivation (EM) rather than intrinsic motivation (IM). Our findings might be of use for service managers to better understand how to motivate their employees in order to ensure their maximum performance.","PeriodicalId":332827,"journal":{"name":"New Trends in Sustainable Business and Consumption","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130022311","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}

From the point of view of access to resources, but also of economic-social competition, economic development generates a higher level of performance, certified on the basis of qualitative and quantitative evaluation processes. In this context, the analysis system of investment projects must be based on operational principles and instruments with medium and long-term impact, capable of aligning with strategic visions. In this paper, based on the research carried out in the specialized literature and the analyzed studies regarding public investments, we identify the current challenges regarding the performance of public investment projects and propose a series of criteria for evaluating the performance of public investments and a sequence of stages to ensure the elimination of non-performing projects at the local, regional and national level. The results of the present research reveal the inadequate prioritization of public investments to ensure adequate sustainability and offer us the opportunity to develop new research directions in the following works in which we will analyze the impact that inadequate prioritization has on the sustainability of local, regional and national communities.","PeriodicalId":332827,"journal":{"name":"New Trends in Sustainable Business and Consumption","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116717159","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}
