Who is in charge? A review and a research agenda on the ‘human side’ of the circular economy

The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of theoretical models and studies dealing with the international marketing strategies in emerging markets and provides recommendations for future research based on the review.,A review of literature on the topic was conducted and a new model is developed as a theoretical extension on the basis of insights from prior research.,Organizations need to take into account several characteristics of consumers and markets in advance as part of their business plan to select appropriate emerging markets, and decide best possible entry modes.,To the best of authors’ knowledge, there is no comprehensive review article on this subject, which provides directions for future research. The authors fill this gap in the literature and suggest strategies with regard to market selection, entry modes, market adaptation, customer relationship development with a new four-dimensional model.

Marketing in emerging markets: a review, theoretical synthesis and extension

Previous research has theorised that the link between entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and performance is mediated by environmental sustainability orientation (ESO). However, firmlevel factors that may moderate this relationship are lacking. This paper attempts to fill this gap by examining how and when EO enhances new venture performance by considering ESO as mediator and stakeholder integration as an important contingent factor. Using primary data obtained from 242 chief executive officers (CEOs)/entrepreneurs, we found that the indirect relationship between EO and new venture performance is strengthened at high levels of stakeholder integration. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Entrepreneurial orientation, environmental sustainability and new venture performance: Does stakeholder integration matter?

The traditional goal of a company is to earn profit to pay its shareholders, but, nowadays, for the business to be sustainable in the long term, a strategy of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities is needed to meet stakeholder demands, respect ethical principles and give an appropriate answer to organizational stakeholders. The objective of the paper is to identify how strong the correlation between CSR and profit is, and how companies behave in the periods they have losses, whether they continue to do CSR activities, they reduce the activities, or they give them up. Thus, CSR is attributed to the concept of “doing good” and profit to the expression of “doing well”, from which a “positive business” can be built. Our empirical research consists of a panel data econometric model using logistics regressions to highlight the correlation between profit and the decision to do CSR activities and feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) regressions to identify the correlations between the level of CSR activities and the dimension of profit, an expression of financial performance. The main results emphasize that the companies which implement CSR activities in a greater extent are more profitable in economic terms.

various types of digital art and photographs. We leverage exogenous variation in attention and recognition given to specific pieces of content, induced through a randomized controlled experiment. We employ a machine learning algorithm to convert complex images into a set of lower-level features, using a transfer learning approach to train this algorithm. This allows us to analyze similarities and differences between images. Our main findings are that creators produce and share content on the social network different from the ones that received attention and recognition. This result is robust to a variety of ways in which we classify image content. Our results illustrate the importance of tools meant to create attention and recognition to the creation and sharing of diverse content by the creators on social networks, and give insights into factors that motivate content creators to share content. of in sales financial management focused accelerator & incubator programs on the growth and performance of startups, and how does it What is the heterogeneity in the impact of peer effects of business accelerators on the basis of gender of the entrepreneur and stage of the business?
