Tiwari G, Kumar RR, Raj A, Foropon CRH. Antecedents and consequents of circular economy adoption: A meta-Analytic Investigation. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 367:121912. [PMID: 39059311 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.121912] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2024] [Revised: 07/13/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
This paper aims to integrate and empirically assess the antecedents and consequents of circular economy (CE) adoption to remove ambiguity existing in the literature and clarify divergent views. This study uses meta-analysis methodology to validate the research framework, considering 106 empirical studies with 210 effect sizes. Based on these studies, we establish twelve antecedents and three consequents related to CE. Antecedents are categorized in a technological-organizational-environmental framework and consequents in the sustainability outcomes. The result suggests that organisational factors are more prominent in driving CE practices, followed by environmental and technological factors. In the organisational category, the three most influencing factors are managing product returns, green manufacturing, and environmental strategy. In the environmental category, coercive pressure is the most influential factor, followed by mimetic and social pressures. Emerging I4.0 technologies are the most prominent factor in the technological category. Our study suggests that CE helps to achieve sustainable performance by significantly enabling economic, environmental, and social outcomes. This study further analyses how contextual factors such as national culture (masculinity) and economic regions influence the various relationships with CE using subgroup analysis. The moderation results show that low masculine culture and developing economies are more effectively using the I4.0 technologies to drive CE adoption than high masculine culture and developed economies. Additionally, different dimensions of sustainability are also influenced by the variations in masculinity and economic regions.

Zhao Z, Garcia-Campayo J, Liang J, Pu R, Perez HM, Xue X, Borao L, Li H, Masanda AB, Chen J, Portugal LM, Aganan JB. The construction of urban cultural and creative industries using deep learning and information management. Heliyon 2024; 10:e33787. [PMID: 39040397 PMCID: PMC11261889 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e33787] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 06/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024] Open
Abstract
The ongoing transition within the Chinese economy assumes a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of the cultural and creative industries (CCI). Renowned for its environmentally sustainable attributes, coupled with high productivity, CCI has garnered considerable attention across diverse societal strata. This study endeavors to delineate the determinants influencing the developmental trajectory of CCI, with a focal point on City A as the primary subject of investigation, juxtaposed against Cities G, D, B, H, and X for comparative analysis, leveraging developmental data from the year 2021. Initially, the study elucidates the conceptual framework underpinning CCI and its intrinsic significance in facilitating urban metamorphosis. Subsequently, the positive impact of CCI through deep learning and information management technology is emphasized, and a cultural and creative recommendation model based on LSTM algorithm is constructed. Through performance evaluation, the recommendation accuracy for cultural and creative projects reaches 94.74 %. A robust developmental assessment model for CCI is then constructed via meticulous factor analysis of pertinent influencers. Employing factor analysis techniques, the study identifies two primary determinants exerting sway over CCI development: sustainable profitability factors and cultural influence factors. Noteworthy among the factors influencing CCI development within City A are fixed asset investment, cultural industry financing, the proliferation of university-based research institutions, and per capita cultural expenditure by residents. Of these, fixed asset investment, cultural industry financing, and the density of university research institutions prominently impinge upon sustainable profitability, with a discernible impact weight of 0.738 in the evaluative framework of CCI development, thus significantly shaping its trajectory. Moreover, consumer psychological factors, particularly market consumption patterns, are observed to exert a discernible influence on CCI evolution. This study augurs fresh insights into the realm of CCI development, infusing it with renewed vigor and vitality. Moreover, it underscores the inherent interdependence and positive correlation among the various research factors, offering novel perspectives and methodologies germane to the advancement of urban CCI.

Cultural Challenges of ERP Implementation in Middle-Eastern Oil & Gas Sector: An Action Research Approach. SYSTEMIC PRACTICE AND ACTION RESEARCH 2023; 36:111-140. [PMID: 35668863 PMCID: PMC9154037 DOI: 10.1007/s11213-022-09600-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 04/13/2022] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
The purpose of this paper was to examine the cultural barriers that existed at various stages of the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation process, using the Middle-Eastern oil and gas sector as a case study. Due to a variety of cultural implications, ERP implementation rates in the oil and gas sector in Middle-Eastern developing countries are extremely low. Although the literature highlighted numerous ERP implementation theories that attempted to overcome the cultural complexities of ERP systems, there are few studies that have framed these complexities using action research theory in order to provide potential solutions to these challenges, particularly in Middle-Eastern developing countries where cultural settings are distinct from those in Western developed countries. Action research AR, in conjunction with documentation, observations, and interviews, aided in the exploration of the culturally complex barriers encountered during the pre-implementation (plan and propose), implementation (do), and post-implementation (assess and improve) stages of ERP projects conducted within a Middle-Eastern oil and gas organisation. This article confirms numerous cultural implications at each stage of the ERP implementation process, including team conflict, managerial authority, and a lack of an IT culture, all of which contributed to the project's delay. Other impediments, such as a lack of commitment to training and technophobia, persisted throughout the post-implementation phase and the subsequent follow-up experience under the recent COVID-19 pandemic. This article contributes to theory and practise by highlighting the culturally complex barriers that underpin many ERP implementations in the Middle Eastern oil and gas sector. This information can assist practitioners and researchers in developing future research and ideas to mitigate future ERP implementation challenges in this region.

Firms’ dynamic capabilities and supply chain risk management: a B2B perspective. BENCHMARKING-AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL 2022. [DOI: 10.1108/bij-07-2022-0457] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
PurposeThis study examines the relationships between collaboration capability (CC) and supply chain risk management (SCRM) and the mediating role of supply chain alignment (SCA) between CC and SCRM. It also investigates the moderating role of data-driven culture (DDC) on the path joining CC and SCA.Design/methodology/approachA survey was conducted via a structured questionnaire among the 297 managers of Business-to-business (B2B) firms. The data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).FindingsThe result found a positive and significant relationship between CC and SCRM, CC and SCA, and SCA and SCRM. The research found a significant mediating role of SCA between CC and SCRM. The study also found a significant moderating role of DBC between CC and SCA.Practical implicationsThe outcomes demonstrate the management and societal relevance of the study from the viewpoint of businesses in developing nations. To cope with dynamic shifts, managers and decision makers need to take initiative for collaboration among the supplier, to align with their supply chain operations and enhance preparedness of DDC to overcome supply chain-related risks in the future.Originality/valueThe results of this empirical study have the significant potential to provide valuable guidance and insights about the B2B firms’ CC to develop SCA to enhance SCRM as risk management for the supply chain can aid in loss prevention and provide an edge over competitors. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, these relationships based on the dynamic capability view (DCV) add to existing studies on B2B firms’ supply chains in a novel way.
