We conducted 15 in-depth interviews with rural women entrepreneurs over a year to identify the process of rural women entrepreneurship. Our findings show that when regulative institutions fail to accomplish the expected role in support of rural women entrepreneurship, instrumentalizing the femininity of Iranian culture can overcome the hurdle. We contribute to rural women entrepreneurship by theorizing the influence of femininity as an alternative institutional arrangement in overcoming regulative institutional hurdles and the social construction of new opportunities. We also contribute to theory by further characterizing femininity in Hofstede’s work and suggesting a connection between Hofstede’s macro-level model and micro-level analysis. We frame research results and justify interpretations by providing contextual details to explain how femininity works in a specific Asian cultural context when building women entrepreneurship. We furthermore provide practical implications for policymakers.</p>","PeriodicalId":46512,"journal":{"name":"Asian Business & Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142216309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through an exploratory multiple-case study, we analyze four Thai family firms assessing their preparedness in pursuing a digital transformation journey and their ability to improve dynamic capabilities. The study shows that LMT firms are in the early stage of their digital transformation, which is led by being part of a global value chain, serving exigent consumers, and imitating startups. Thai firms revitalize business models, while optimizing operations. They build dynamic capabilities through the help of third-party providers prioritizing social media marketing and digital marketing, with a general awareness of environmental, societal, and governance trends. Overall, family firms are still reluctant to pursue strategic agility and rapid prototyping. Thus, in the absence of an innovation ecosystem supporting family firms, it is harder to augment their absorptive capacity and redesign the internal structure of the organization.</p>","PeriodicalId":46512,"journal":{"name":"Asian Business & Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142248382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This scholarship has not considered political ties to be a diversity strand. However, political ties are a considerable source of uneven power relations, unearned privileges, and unjust discrimination in many contexts. Similarly, political ties could be sources of disadvantage, exclusion and discrimination for individuals with weak, absent or oppositional political affiliations. Our paper focuses on the Asian context, where political ties are often a legitimate human and institutional resource that can shape individual choices and chances at work. By defining political ties as a diversity and inclusion strand, we critique the legitimacy of political ties as a dominant and desirable resource and present political tie discrimination as a wicked social problem that entrenches uneven relations of power and authority in workplaces. Highlighting how political affiliation manifests across different national contexts in Asia, we explore the utility of adding political ties to the Asian vernacular to regulate workplace diversity and inclusion. Asia provides an interesting context in which the interplay between political affiliation and workplace relations is often culturally endorsed, remains unregulated and unscrutinised through ethical and anti-discrimination regulations. Thus, Asia provides an ideal setting to explore the emergence of political tie diversity and inclusion at work. We illustrate this through country-specific examples, illustrating the cross-national varieties of political tie diversity in the Asian business context. We also suggest a roadmap to manage political tie diversity and inclusion for this context.</p>","PeriodicalId":46512,"journal":{"name":"Asian Business & Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141507235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While existing research has focused on the relationship between an organization’s ESG performance and its financial outcomes, this study concentrates on analyzing how the firm’s legitimacy signaling, stakeholder pressures, visibility, and government industry regulations impact sustainability performance among listed Korean companies. Our empirical analysis indicates that the ESG scores reflecting a firm’s sustainability performance are positively influenced by all four factors. First, this study may contribute to the sustainability literature by providing a coherent and rich theoretical foundation. Second, this study may contribute to viewing the phenomenon related to sustainability from various angles. In addition, by verifying in more detail the impact of gaining legitimacy through the introduction of institutional norms in the existing new institutionalism discourse on organizational survival and growth, legitimacy signals, and corporate visibility, the theoretical contribution of this study can also be made by uncovering an intermediate mechanism in which various institutional factors such as stakeholder pressure and institutional regulations can be advantageous for growth and survival by substantially improving the sustainability management level of an organization.</p>","PeriodicalId":46512,"journal":{"name":"Asian Business & Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140575337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
