The trade and foreign direct investment between China and ASEAN have also received much attention in academia, with rich academic achievements in recent years. However, few studies have studied the impact factors and investment performance of enterprise heterogeneity on the location selection of direct foreign investment of Chinese enterprises from the perspective of micro-level enterprise data, with even fewer academic research focused on China-ASEAN studies. \u0000 \u0000Based on the above background, this paper will focus on the discussion and analysis of enterprise location investment decisions by taking enterprise heterogeneity factors and host country factors as cross-factors. First of all, this paper analyzes the various characteristics using the published data of China's investment in ASEAN from 2004 to 2013. In the empirical regression part of the paper, it combines the enterprise heterogeneity factors and the host country location factors into the Logit model to explore how the host country factors affect the investment decisions of enterprises in ASEAN. Therefore, this paper tests the grouping regression and corporate regulatory effect of the ten ASEAN countries, and finds that the corporate factor and the host country factor offset each other to a certain extent. This paper further expands the feasibility of the research on ASEAN location investment based on the theory of enterprise heterogeneity, and also provides a supplementary perspective for the relationship between enterprise heterogeneity and location selection strategy.","PeriodicalId":38990,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Business and Management Science","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73221859","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 investigates how strategic innovation, based on the implementation of an open and sustainable museum model, as a driver of social and civic innovation, can enhance the development of the reference community. To this end, after analyzing the concept of sustainability-oriented innovation in the perspective of openness and shared value, the research investigates the role of sustainability and its specific declinations in museum management, focusing the attention on the experience of the Italian museums in the light of a substantial revision of organization due to a reform in 2014. The theoretical framework is then applied to a case study, the National Archaeological Museum of Taranto “MArTA”, in order to verify the nature and impacts of changes in the museums that take a sustainability-oriented path through strategic and technological innovation. The study provides evidence of the joint and interdependent role of openness, innovation, and sustainability as key drivers in the museums with particular reference to practices adopted to encourage stakeholders’ engagement and to contribute to social, economic, and cultural development.","PeriodicalId":38990,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Business and Management Science","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88049482","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 global scenario has started questioning how these appliances are taken care of when they reach the end of their useful lives. The advent of these obsolete appliances has created a catastrophe for the health of humans and the environment. Furthermore, business firms in telecommunication and technology industries face the pressure to engage in more severe action towards e-waste management and to report the activities in the annual reports due to their activities which are highly related to the generation of e-waste. In addressing this issue, the study intends to examine the e-waste information disclosure by firms in the two industries. In addition, the study also investigates if the e-waste information disclosure would differ between firms with more female directors and with a sustainability steering committee compared to their counterparts. This study hypothesises that firms with high female directors and a sustainability steering committee will show significantly higher e-waste information disclosure by utilising the virtue ethics theory. Fifty-nine companies of Bursa Malaysia listed firms in the technology and telecommunication industries were taken as samples. The results were consistent with the hypotheses, where firms with a high proportion of female directors and firms with a sustainability steering committee exhibit significantly high e-waste information disclosure compared to their counterparts. The results from this study may give some insights into how business firms address their e-waste management issue and can be significant in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).","PeriodicalId":38990,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Business and Management Science","volume":"118 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89350233","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 issue is more pronounced following the COVID-19 aftermath as companies are shifting to using these devices in operating their businesses which spurs the attention on managing e-waste. Likewise, this new norm shows continuous trends and seems to remain. As such, this research aims to investigate the Malaysian publicly listed companies’ commitment to e-waste management by examining the extent and quality of e-waste information disclosure. Using the annual report of 274 listed companies spanning from 2019 to 2021, this study employed content analysis to determine the extent and quality of e-waste information disclosure by examining the number of words and sentences and the 4-point quality scale measures accordingly. Additionally, this study explores the difference in the extent and quality of e-waste information disclosure between industries. In correspondence to the 14 industries examined, this study found that the highest number of words, sentences and quality of e-waste information disclosure was from the telecommunication and media industries, followed by the technology industry. Likewise, an independent t-test reveals that the telecommunication and media and technology industries showed significant differences from other industries’ efforts to provide adequate and quality e-waste information disclosure. The results reflect the law-abiding efforts among these industries on mandatory requirements of reporting e-waste management activities in the annual report. The findings of this study provide some insight into companies’ commitment to reporting and managing their e-waste, which increases transparency, accountability, legitimacy and enhances the environmental reporting model. It is expected that the results will be of immense benefit to various stakeholders in making green investment more transparent.","PeriodicalId":38990,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Business and Management Science","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82291899","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, risks are affecting the economy of the nation, community, and the living of people, particularly underprivileged people who has no life security and assurance. For this reason, the relevant agencies and communities should implement efficient management, so they are self-reliant and can survive. This research applied the concept of Sufficiency Economy to examine the factors affecting the success (primary factors and secondary factors) of community management during a crisis through the perspective of the community leaders council, who were the experts. Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) was used for data analysis based on experts’ consensus. The findings indicated that the significant criteria affecting the success of the crisis community management of the underprivileged people is “Crisis Leadership” and the most significant sub-criteria is “Opportunity from Crisis” (8.50), followed by “Reliability” (5.38) and then, “Household Economy” (5.13) and “Food Stability” (5.13), respectively.

Grounding our regression analyses on a sample of IPO firms went public in Italy from 2000 to 2020, our paper offers theoretical contributions and has practical implications. Findings demonstrate the existence of a positive relationship between family firm status and IPO timing, corroborating previous research claiming that the family influences IPO features. Moreover, empirical results point out that while CEO age increases the time to IPO in family firms, when the CEO is also the company founder, family firms go public earlier. This evidence supports literature advocating that age and founder status matter in shaping family decision making process.","PeriodicalId":38990,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Business and Management Science","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89039208","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}
