Consequently, in the age of digitalization and globalization, numerous studies extensively explore the relationship between digitalization and sustainable practice. While optimism abounds, there is insufficient research into how and what types of project managers effectively manage resources to enhance the sustainability of projects when stakeholders are engaged. Therefore, we aim to address this gap by analyzing a sample of 211 Chinese project managers involved in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Our findings indicate that project managers with digital literacy and experience are effective at managing existing resources to promote sustainable project management practices, while project managers with financial literacy do not directly exhibit sustainable practices. Furthermore, digitally literate managers are more likely to engage in bricolage (effective resource management), whereas experienced project managers are less likely to do so in the presence of stakeholder engagement. Moreover, stakeholder engagement does not appear to moderate the relationship between project manager financial literacy and bricolage. Based on these findings, our research recommends that organizations focus on employing digitally literate and experienced project managers to effectively manage their limited resources for sustainable project management. Further practical implications are discussed.","PeriodicalId":36531,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and Development","volume":"7 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141968381","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}

Despite the recent proliferation of articles about firms' engagement with SDGs within a short span of time, empirical literature in this field is still in its early stages, and has not yet been organized. While a set of literature reviews have analyzed the impact of SDGs at the organizational or firm level, none have specifically focused on empirical works at the company level. To address this gap, this article aims to review the empirical studies on firms' engagement with SDGs. A total number of 29 studies published in the 2015 to 2024 period were reviewed based on the scoping review methodology, in order to identify key concepts and research gaps. In terms of the primary focus of the studies examined, although a wide array of topics were explored in the early stage of the SDG literature, a notable theme emerged: the analysis of the determinants or factors driving companies to engage with SDGs. The article delves into the implications of the findings for managers, public policymakers and various stakeholders.","PeriodicalId":36531,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and Development","volume":"7 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/bsd2.416","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141868536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Ethiopia, prior studies overlooked this concept when studying entrepreneurial marketing practices (EMP) in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This study aimed to investigate the effect of these practices on the BSD. Employing a mixed-methods approach, primary and secondary data from 387 SMEs (selected via stratified and simple random sampling from 5765) are analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). Results demonstrate a significant, positive relationship between EMP such as innovativeness, opportunity focus, value creation, proactiveness, and sustainable development. The study underscores the necessity for SMEs to enhance marketing practices to ensure long-term viability and competitiveness. It highlights stakeholder engagement: policymakers, local communities, and consumers as critical for aligning marketing efforts with sustainability goals. This engagement not only meets consumer expectations for ethically driven businesses but also enhances inclusive growth and community welfare. By promoting dialogue among stakeholders, SMEs drive sustainable development initiatives and advocate for policies supporting environmentally and socially responsible practices, contributing to a greener, socially conscious economy. Future research should explore mediating or moderating variables across different SME types and regions. This study's novelty lies in its insights into how EMP impact SME sustainable development within Ethiopia, offering valuable insights for strategic decision-making and highlighting the pivotal role of entrepreneurial marketing (EM) in achieving long-term success in dynamic markets.","PeriodicalId":36531,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and Development","volume":"7 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141868534","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}

Additionally, it explores the impact of firm size and sustainability readiness on SME performance and examines the moderating and mediating effects of these factors on the relationship between innovation and firm performance. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed as the methodological approach, utilizing a sample of 421 SMEs in Thailand. The findings reveal that green innovation and sustainability readiness significantly contribute to SME performance. Sustainability readiness is identified as a mediator, underscoring its significant role in mediating the relationship between green innovation and firm performance. Furthermore, firm size is confirmed as a moderator, indicating that the influence of green innovation on firm performance is contingent upon the firm's size. These findings have significant implications for SMEs, providing valuable insights into strategic investments in sustainability readiness and green innovation as avenues for enhancing performance and competitiveness.","PeriodicalId":36531,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and Development","volume":"7 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141730348","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}

This study addresses this gap by investigating the voluntary disclosure of SDGs and the impact of the sustainability committee (SC) on such disclosure in Malaysia. Panel data from large publicly listed Malaysian companies spanning from 2016 to 2020 is employed. Manual content analysis extracts the SDGs-related information from the annual reports. Data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate analytical models to examine the effect of the sustainability committee's existence on the SDGs disclosure. Findings reveal an increasing trend in Malaysian companies' commitment to SDGs, with a stronger emphasis on social goals compared to environmental ones. The results of the T-test, fixed effects, and two-stage least squares regressions demonstrate significantly higher and more detailed SDG disclosure in companies with SCs compared to those without SCs. These findings suggest that SCs facilitate the integration of SDGs into corporate strategies and business models. Sensitivity analyses have not altered our findings. This research provides useful insights for policymakers and practitioners regarding corporate SDGs disclosure practices and the role of sustainability committees in enhancing such practices.","PeriodicalId":36531,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and Development","volume":"7 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/bsd2.398","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141639560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, employees are the catalysts in implementing green mechanisms, which are diverse and sophisticated; thus, the implementation process includes numerous challenges that are not explored from managerial and nonmanagerial perspectives in the current literature. Drawing on resource-based theory, this particular qualitative study explores the challenges faced by managerial and nonmanagerial employees working in the Malaysian automotive, electrical and electronics, and construction industries in implementing green human resource management (GHRM) practices. Using a qualitative approach, data were obtained from 48 face-to-face semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis using NVivo 12 revealed 16 challenges that hinder the implementation of GHRM practices in Malaysian companies. We classified these challenges into three categories: high, moderate, and low. However, the main challenges were the lack of focus on the environment, difficulties in educating employees at different levels, a priority on progress/productivity neglecting the environment, the influence of external forces and the cost of going green. The study has discussed the implications of its findings for both theory and practice, followed by arguments on research limitations and future directions.","PeriodicalId":36531,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and Development","volume":"7 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141565761","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}

Ordinary least square regression was applied to investigate this association. This study also addresses the endogeneity problem using the generalized method of moments (GMM). This study finds that CSR lowers a company's COD. Firms with more CSR reporting minimize information asymmetry and improve their reputation. Next, we investigate whether family ownership can moderate the relationship between CSR and the COD. These findings support the hypothesis that family ownership moderates the relationship between CSR and COD. It is possible that family businesses use CSR to maintain a good reputation among their stakeholders, thus producing more CSR reports. The findings contribute to the literature by providing empirical evidence on how CSR and family firms experience a lower COD capital in the emerging economy context of Indonesia. Furthermore, this study provides academic implications by investigating whether family ownership can be a moderator variable in the association between CSR and COD. The study also has practical implications for practitioners and regulators in creating policies that promote better CSR initiatives and corporate governance systems.","PeriodicalId":36531,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and Development","volume":"7 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141524106","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}
