An empirical research was conducted with 117 marketing and market research students from a Spanish public university who participated in two innovative entrepreneurship training activities. Emotions were captured through a neuroscience-based Emotion AI system using convolutional neural networks, while entrepreneurial intention, perceived behavioural control, social norms, personal attitudes and employability were measured using a theory of planned behaviour questionnaire administered before and after the activities, and the proposed model was estimated using the partial least squares path modelling (PLS-SEM) method. This method was employed due to its suitability for exploratory models and complex relationships. The results indicate that positive emotions significantly increase perceived behavioural control, which in turn reinforces entrepreneurial intention and, ultimately, students’ perceived employability. The study contributes to link entrepreneurial intention and employability using neuroscientific tools unlike previous studies. Additionally, it provides practical guidance for designing entrepreneurship programmes that deliberately evoke positive emotions and promote soft skills.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45796,"journal":{"name":"European Research on Management and Business Economics","volume":"32 2","pages":"Article 100316"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147849447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our findings highlight that internal R&amp;D expenditures, firm age, external R&amp;D partnerships, and lagged product and process innovations are robust and important predictors of green innovation. We provide new causal evidence of the path-dependent nature of green innovation, with prior innovations exerting persistent treatment effects across multiple periods. The mediation analysis further reveals that collaborative R&amp;D serves as a critical channel through which innovation capabilities are mobilized. These results underscore the complementarity between internal resources and external knowledge access, which enables firms to reconfigure their capabilities in response to environmental imperatives.

This study examines this question using a structured questionnaire survey on UK households, through the lenses of the theory of planned behaviour, value-belief-norm theory, and Rokeach values. The results indicate 1) a strong presence of intentional risk-takers (to whom risk is part of a household financial plan), 2) who rely on better financial knowledge to capitalize on FRT, and 3) reduce FRT if their perceived personal and family risks increase. Contrary to stereotypes, our results support that men are more risk-averse than women, due to higher uncertainty in the post-COVID period that affected household income and wealth. In the post-crisis period, there is an incentive to act on behalf of the household, influenced by altruistic values. There is a significant influence of risk adaptation in financially knowledgeable households. This challenges the traditional connection between risk and return: return is not only a function of perceived financial risk, but also associated with household and social risks. The results carry implications for financial markets, and potentially household and personal financial advice, given the rise of values in financial decision-making within and outside the household.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45796,"journal":{"name":"European Research on Management and Business Economics","volume":"32 2","pages":"Article 100317"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147849446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Guided by institutional theory, this study assessed how banks effectively managed regulatory changes, focusing on the rise in minimum capital requirement for banks in Ghana between 2017 and 2018 as a case study. The study also assessed the effect of managing this regulatory change on bank performance. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to 302 Branch Managers, complemented by interviews with 13 Managers directly involved in managing the capital increase in their respective banks. The study used mean and standard deviation to analyze how change management mechanisms were applied during the implementation of the new capital requirement.</div><div>Additionally, a Structural Equation Model (SEM) was used to estimate the impact of these mechanisms on the banks' performance. The findings revealed that although the banks were initially unprepared for the increase in the minimum capital requirement, they effectively applied change management strategies. The study found that banks had effective communication, stakeholder management, sponsorship, and training, but readiness was very low. From the SEM results, sponsorship (β = 0.41) and stakeholder management (β = 0.39) have statistically significant positive effects on operational performance. However, communication (β = 0.24) and training (β = 0.31) have a statistically significant positive impact on financial performance. These findings are consistent with institutional theory as proposed by Meyer and Rowan. Thus, from the theoretical point of view, this study posits that change management is a sure way for banks to adapt to regulatory changes, such as a rise in minimum capital requirements. This study contributes to empirical literature since it is the first to assess how banks use change management mechanisms to manage regulatory change. The study recommends that banks proactively integrate regulatory change management strategies into their operations to better prepare for future regulatory shifts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45796,"journal":{"name":"European Research on Management and Business Economics","volume":"32 1","pages":"Article 100295"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145289603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
