However, there is a gap in research regarding the critical factors that contribute to the success of sustainable marketing and the importance and interconnections of these factors from experts' perspectives. Thus, this study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the complex relationships among factors contributing to the success of sustainable marketing strategies within manufacturing companies. This study extracted 19 success factors crucial to sustainable marketing within Malaysian manufacturing SMEs from the literature and thoughtfully categorized them into technology, organization, environment, human, and social groups. Data was gathered from 26 experts in Malaysian SME manufacturing using a questionnaire. The decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method was employed to identify the significant factors and reveal cause-and-effect relationships among them. The findings showed that perceived benefits, sustainable strategy, natural resources protection, IT knowledge and expertise, and customer demands were crucial factors within technology, organization, environment, human, and social groups, respectively. Meanwhile, the environment group was ranked as the most important dimension influencing sustainable marketing.

Although higher environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance facilitates the stabilization of corporate operations, studies provide limited understanding on how ESG performance affects organizational resilience. By analyzing dataset from China's listed enterprises from 2010 to 2023, this research examines the connection between ESG performance and organizational resilience, as well as its influence mechanism. Results evidence that ESG performance significantly increases organizational resilience. In addition, ESG performance promotes organizational resilience by improving ambidextrous innovation capability (AIC). Further analysis indicated that digitalization amplified the positive influence of ESG on financial volatility. Our research determines the value of ESG, AIC, and digitalization in assisting enterprises to develop a resiliency capability to cope with threat and stressful environment. This research offers a novel theoretical perspective through the integration of stakeholder theory and dynamic capability view (DCV) to explore how ESG promotes organizational resilience by releasing the value of its own, AIC and digitalization. It offers practical implications for practitioners to shape strategies to actively embracing ESG practices, nurturing dynamic capabilities, such as AIC and higher degree of digitalization to effectively promote organizational resilience to respond to crises and uncertainty.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":36531,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and Development","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143439128","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}

Therefore, this study aims to explore the intricate relationship between sustainability, digital technology, and SDGs. A systematic literature review and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol have been used to comprehend the impact of DT on promoting SDGs across diverse sectors while enhancing sustainability. By analyzing the 141 articles, it could be concluded that achieving sustainability by adhering to the SDGs requires effective integration of DT and a thorough understanding of the policy reforms and SDG knowledge that support both sustainability goals and digitalization. The findings also indicate that achieving the SDGs in the era of digitalization relies on the collective and collaborative ability to leverage digital technology as a crucial tool and resource for positive transformation while mitigating its adverse impacts.

Furthermore, to address the vagueness of human perceptions of GHRM practices, this study applied the fuzzy set theory and the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory method to obtain and analyze expert opinions. The analysis has revealed three key influential mediators out of nine that can positively influence the indirect nexus between GHRM practices and EGB.

Blockchain technology is seen as a tool that can increase the accuracy and transparency of sustainability reporting by offering a decentralized and transparent system. However, there are barriers to the use and adoption of blockchain technology. Studies reveal technological, institutional, organizational, and environmental factors. Integration issues between different blockchain networks can threaten data integrity and accuracy. In addition, problems such as high energy consumption and low transaction speed can also affect the sustainability of blockchain technology. In the study, the barriers to the use of blockchain technology in sustainability reporting were analysed. For this purpose, the criteria determined were presented to expert opinions and criterion weighting was made with the Fuzzy AHP method.

Using 10 years of panel data across resource-intensive, consumer-facing, and service sectors, the analysis employs the system generalized method of moments (GMM) for robust estimation. The results reveal a positive overall effect of ESG practices on ROA, with significant differences across industries. The study uses the categorization of resource-intensive, consumer-facing, and service industries to examine the differential effects of ESG factors on ROA. However, environmental scores do not significantly impact ROA, suggesting uniform effects across industries. Social scores enhance ROA without notable industry-specific differences, while governance scores show varying effects, indicating sector-specific drivers of profitability. The analysis also highlights the moderating effects of industry categories on the ESG–ROA relationship, suggesting that the impact of ESG practices varies across different sectors. The study also considers the economic effects of COVID-19, highlighting its marginal impact on ROA and the need for resilient financial strategies. However, the moderating effect of COVID-19 on this relationship was not significant, indicating limited variation in the ESG–ROA dynamics during the pandemic period except in the governance model. These findings suggest that tailored ESG strategies, aligned with industry-specific challenges, can optimize financial performance.
