While existing research has largely focused on digital marketing in business-to-consumer settings, its role in reshaping B2B supply chain structures and processes remains underexplored. This review addresses that gap by synthesizing insights across marketing, supply chain operations, and information systems research.\u0000Using a thematic analysis guided by an antecedents-decisions-outcomes framework, the study identifies five themes that capture key dimensions of digital transformation in B2B supply chains: transitioning from analog to digital, renaissance in supply chain practices, transitioning from traditional methods to innovative strategies, navigating the digital landscape, and addressing the challenges associated with AI and algorithmic marketing in supply chain management. The findings suggest that digital marketing influences not only customer engagement but also information flows, coordination mechanisms, and responsiveness across supply chain networks.\u0000The study contributes to theory by clarifying how digital marketing and supply chain management co-evolve in B2B contexts and by extending demand chain management perspectives beyond a functional view of marketing. For practice, the results indicate that firms should align digital marketing platforms with supply chain systems and governance structures to improve visibility, coordination, and resilience.

It analyzes the mediating role of DT, the enabling role of digital capabilities (DCs), and the moderating effect of digital transformational leadership (DTL). Data from 133 export-oriented SMEs in Vietnam were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) with robustness checks for nonlinear effects, endogeneity, and unobserved heterogeneity. The findings show that DCs—human, innovation, networking, and technical—significantly enhance export performance, both directly and indirectly through DT. DTL further strengthens these relationships by guiding the strategic use of digital technologies. Export competitiveness in emerging markets thus depends not only on technological readiness but also on leadership quality and organizational capability building. Managers should treat DT as a firm-wide capability-development process rather than a simple technology upgrade. Export SMEs need to invest in digital literacy, innovation, and external networks while fostering trust and collective learning under visionary leadership. Policymakers should reinforce SME-focused digital infrastructure, training, and leadership programs to sustain global competitiveness. Integrating the resource-based view (RBV), dynamic capabilities view (DCV), and upper echelons theory (UET), this study offers a unified framework explaining SME internationalization in the digital age.

Unlike earlier AI paradigms that were reactive or limited to narrow tasks, AAI integrates reasoning, memory, planning, and tool orchestration to pursue complex objectives with minimal human oversight. Using a systematic literature review method, this study synthesizes current knowledge on AAI by examining its conceptual foundations, practical applications, and emerging research directions. Conceptually, AAI is distinguished from automation, generative AI, and multi-agent systems through its unique capacity to operate as a socio-technical partner in organizational and societal contexts. In practice, AAI is being applied across sectors such as healthcare, finance, manufacturing, education, and sustainability, enabling organizations to enhance decision support, optimize processes, and improve resilience in global business contexts. However, these advancements present significant challenges, including governance, transparency, accountability, workforce transformation, and integration with legacy systems. On the research front, four major streams dominate current scholarship: human–AI collaboration and co-agency; balancing AI autonomy with human control; governance and trust; and societal and ethical implications. To unify these insights, this paper develops an antecedent–mechanism–outcome framework linking technological, organizational, and societal enablers to the mechanisms and outcomes of AAI adoption. Building on this synthesis, a future research agenda is proposed that emphasizes conceptual refinement, responsible integration, methodological innovation, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Overall, the study contributes to both academic and managerial understanding in the global business context by highlighting AAI as both a driver of business strategy and a potential enabler of organizational excellence and sustainable development.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":35064,"journal":{"name":"Global Business and Organizational Excellence","volume":"45 3","pages":"402-416"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146154977","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}

Adopting a perspective-based research design, it integrates a narrative integrative review, conceptual mapping, and problem-focused and theory-informed reasoning across a century-long timeframe (1925–2024) to interrogate the underexplored S-HRM–inequality nexus in IB. The analysis highlights that—despite growing global attention to inequality from governments, regulatory bodies, and business communities—this issue remains largely overlooked in the S-HRM and IB literature, where it is often subsumed under the generic concept of “social sustainability,” thereby limiting both conceptual clarity and practical impact. If S-HRM research is to remain at the forefront of global business scholarship, it cannot disregard the pressing challenge of inequality reduction. This article makes three contributions: (1) it identifies the conceptual boundaries of inequality within S-HRM in IB, distinguishing it from traditional CSR and exposing overlooked theoretical and empirical blind spots; (2) it delineates major theoretical, empirical and methodological gaps; and (3) it advances a structured, forward-looking research agenda that spans diverse institutional contexts, types of inequality, and theoretical lenses. By linking early legal and normative commitments to inequality eradication with contemporary organizational practices, the article builds a comprehensive foundation for advancing S-HRM scholarship capable of addressing SDG 10 as both a moral imperative and a strategic necessity in global business. It calls on policymakers and international regulatory bodies to encourage MNCs to embed inequality-reduction objectives into S-HRM strategies, making SDG 10 a core element of corporate accountability frameworks to promote equitable socio-economic outcomes in both host and home countries. Ultimately, this article extends the S-HRM literature in IB, outlines practical and theoretical pathways for addressing the grand challenge of inequality, and establishes common ground between S-HRM and inequality research by presenting a robust research agenda to advance knowledge in both domains.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":35064,"journal":{"name":"Global Business and Organizational Excellence","volume":"45 3","pages":"384-401"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146136209","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}
