Content and thematic analysis was conducted to identify the drivers of the reputational risk of export-oriented shrimp businesses. The results suggest that economic factors, environmental factors, certification and awards, product quality and safety, technological factors, and customer satisfaction influence their resilience towards sustainability. The study identifies the drivers of the reputational risk of export-oriented shrimp firms. This study fulfils the need for qualitative research on drivers of reputational risk of export-oriented shrimp firms in Bangladesh.

This study investigates how cognitive and motivational factors shape trust in GenAI-driven sustainability recommendations. Using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) on data from 577 participants in Indonesia, the findings show that high adoption arises from configurations of perceived information quality, relevance to sustainability, ease of implementation, and interaction quality. In contrast, low adoption is associated with a lack of trust and delicate perceptions of complexity and risk. The influence of perceived complexity varies across pathways, highlighting its contextual nature. Trust consistently stands out as a crucial condition for high adoption, underscoring its role in sustaining GenAI use. The study offers practical guidance for developers and policymakers, emphasizing the need to foster trust, streamline user interactions, and align GenAI solutions with broader sustainability goals. By addressing trust gaps and reducing complexity, GenAI can evolve into a transformative tool for advancing consumer-driven sustainable practices.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":36531,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and Development","volume":"8 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143938962","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}

Using survey data from 400 Indonesian consumers with experience in purchasing green products, the study employs fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis to identify configurational pathways. The results highlight unique combinations of intrinsic factors, such as ethical obligation and environmental concern, alongside extrinsic influences, including social media engagement and subjective norms, that drive green purchasing. While various configurations lead to high green purchase behavior, the absence of critical elements, particularly environmental knowledge, emerges as a significant barrier. By adopting a configurational perspective, this study moves beyond linear models, uncovering dynamic pathways that shape green purchase behavior.

Using the CES production function and System GMM analyses, we deal with the endogeneity problem and show coherent results. Our results indicate that female-led firms have a lower propensity to engage in innovation activities. However, when they do, their level of productivity is very close to that of their male-led counterparts. In addition, we found that nearly 70% of the gap in productivity levels can be attributed to higher technological levels.

A Systematic Literature Review of Corporate Governance and Carbon Disclosure Quality","authors":"Guifang Zhu,&nbsp;Tze San Ong,&nbsp;Ahmad Fahmi Sheikh Hassan","doi":"10.1002/bsd2.70117","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/bsd2.70117","url":null,"abstract":"<div>\u0000 \u0000 <p>As global climate challenges intensify, corporate carbon disclosure quality (CDQ) has emerged as a vital indicator of corporate environmental transparency and accountability. However, corporate governance (CG) mechanisms remain contested: are they primarily legitimation tools to meet external expectations or governance instruments to ensure substantive environmental performance? This study conducts a systematic literature review (SLR) utilizing the PRISMA framework, methodically screening and synthesizing 64 studies published between 2011 and 2024. Key findings encompass (1) Persistent suboptimal CDQ across both developed and emerging markets; (2) A trend towards theoretical integration, with the CG-CDQ relationship increasingly reflecting the interplay of multiple theoretical frameworks; (3) Dynamic duality of CG's role, wherein its primary function depends on institutional pressure, governance architecture, and stakeholder oversight; (4) Bridging institutional voids in emerging economies, as demonstrated by China's state-owned enterprises (SOEs) surpassing non-state-owned firms under policy incentives. This study also identifies critical research gaps: over two-thirds of CG-CDQ studies concentrate on the US, Europe, and China, while ASEAN and Africa—carbon-intensive regions—remain underexplored, constituting a 90% research void. The cultural dimension is frequently neglected, with only one study examining informal institutions, such as Confucianism. These findings highlight that governments should mandate carbon disclosure standards, implement cross-border accreditation mechanisms, and enhance social oversight; corporations should bolster governance, incorporate environmental expertise, and ensure that 30% of their executives are female; and investors should advocate for ESG performance agreements that correlate carbon disclosure with investment returns, fostering sustainable development.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":36531,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and Development","volume":"8 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143914431","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}

Drawing upon the Norm Activation Model, the Theory of Planned Behavior, and the Social Exchange Theory, the proposed model was tested using a sample of 190 hotel managers in India. The findings indicate that MAE indirectly influences the implementation of green practices through the managers' intentions to behave. In addition, both POES and EGC are directly related to the IGP. This holds particular relevance for India's hospitality sector, which faces considerable environmental challenges stemming from increasing tourist arrivals.

This research makes three relevant contributions to the field. First, through extensive qualitative research that combines systematic literature review with conceptual analysis, it provides novel frameworks for understanding how environmentally conscious companies navigate the complex terrain of social disruption while maintaining their core environmental missions. Second, drawing from environmental management literature, organizational transformation theories, and industry practices, the research advances new methodological approaches for managing technological integration within these organizations. The findings present a third key contribution by revealing previously unexplored patterns in how successful AI integration in green companies requires sophisticated approaches spanning multiple organizational dimensions: knowledge management systems must be reimagined, leadership development programs need to evolve, and organizational design must adapt to new realities. Beyond these structural changes, organizations must build new frameworks that effectively combine technological capabilities with environmental expertise while carefully managing social impacts. Importantly, the research presents evidence that traditional environmental values need not be sacrificed; rather, they can be preserved and improved through thoughtful integration of AI systems. While the conceptual nature of this study may limit its immediate application across all organizational contexts and scales, further empirical research will be needed to validate the proposed frameworks across specific industry sectors, this work provides valuable insights into the unique issues faced by green companies implementing AI. The study advances the field by offering fresh perspectives on managing the delicate balance between environmental values and technological innovation while presenting original frameworks for understanding and addressing the social dimensions of technological transformation in environmentally conscious organizations.
