There is little empirical research into this business ethical problem in literature. To understand how respond to ENS scheme, study, we empirically examine relationship between and CEP. Specifically, distinguish two types of CEP, that is, management (EMP) operational (EOP), then test effects on EMP EOP moderating role...

Abstract Healthcare information technologies (HIT) have shown great potential for improving the effectiveness and quality of healthcare services. However, inequal ability older adults to use HIT may limit their exploitation these benefits. To narrow age‐based “digital divide”, this research further develops concept digital capability emphasises link between social context. Based on a qualitative inductive study 33 participants, who included Chinese patients family members, we generate novel...

Existing research in the field of business has generated differing views on relationship between customer involvement and firms' product innovation. Drawing from their findings, some researchers have presented a positive assessment customers' utility innovation, while others provided nonsignificant or even negative usefulness this area. This paper reconciles these different by demonstrating that there exists nonlinear innovation performance. To arrive at conclusion, we use survey data...

This paper provides empirical evidence for leveraging digitalization to improve firms' financial performance by implementing servitization as a mediating mechanism, well clarifying boundary conditions the mechanism work. For that purpose, this develops moderated mediation model using dataset including 370 manufacturing companies in central China. The findings indicate partially mediates relationship between and performance, effects are transformation context. A higher level of organizational...

Based on the new structural economics view that combination of effective governments and efficient markets is fundamental path to high-quality development, this study investigates how heterogeneous environmental policy instruments combine with marketization improve total factor energy-environmental efficiency (TFEEE) in China's metal sector. Utilizing provincial panel data from 2006 2019, a super-efficiency slacks-based measure envelopment analysis (SBM-DEA) integrated global...

Business model (BM) innovation driven by corporate social responsibility (CSR) has attracted considerable attention from scholars. However, the understanding of whether and how CSR influences BM is limited. Therefore, this paper aimed to fill these gaps exploring influence on through mediating role organizational legitimacy (OL). This proposed research hypotheses relationships among CSR, OL, empirically tested using hierarchical regression analysis method with data collected 186 firms. The...

Abstract In this paper, we examine the relationship between water disclosure and firm risk. Specifically, based upon a panel dataset of 334 Chinese listed firms operating in highly water‐sensitive industries during 2010–2015, use regression models to analyze relationships three types risk (i.e., total risk, systematic idiosyncratic risk) moderating effects media coverage on these relationships. Our empirical results show that (a) although there are no significant is negative risk; (b)...

Based on the unique folk belief of zodiac year, this study explores effect senior managers' year corporate inefficient investment (CII) using data from Chinese A-share listed companies 2006 to 2019. The findings are as follows: (1) managers more conservative and cautious in their year. Increasing risk aversion prevents blind inhibits CII. (2) restraining CII is apparent nonstate-owned enterprises, regions with low marketization levels, Central China, Northeast China. This attributed degree...

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, algorithmic management is increasingly prevalent in enterprises. Despite considerable scholarly attention given to impact management, a research gap remains regarding its influence on employee creativity. To address this gap, authors developed theoretical model using ability-motivation-opportunity (AMO) theory. This aims investigate direct impacts (opportunity) creativity (performance) while also considering mediating roles...

Through exploring factors influencing effective retail positioning strategies in an emerging market environment, this paper challenges the role of isolation mechanism and heterogeneous idiosyncrasy argued by resource-based view (RBV) theory. By drawing on a sample 11,577 customers from hypermarkets, electronic appliance specialty stores department major Chinese cities, we set up 10 hypotheses confirm nine-item model for customer-oriented (perceived price, store image, product, shopping...

With the rapid development of telecom market, customer gradually shows characteristics differentiation and diversification. Telecom clustering is an effective method for marketing retention. In this paper, we propose a cluster algorithm based on k-means Multivariable Quantum Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm (MQSFLA), called MQSFLA-k, which can be used as segmentation in customers marketing. Simulation results show that proposed MQSFLA has advantages both convergence rate accurate value...

An increasing number of scholars and practitioners are advocating for the exploration demand-side consequences business model (BM) design from customer’s perceptual perspective. Consistent with this view, paper discusses how BM can achieve customer loyalty through mediating role citizenship behavior. Therefore, puts forward a series hypotheses regarding relationships among design, behavior, further tests these hierarchical regression analysis data collected Chinese customers. The results...
