Environmental sustainability is the primary task of environmental entrepreneurship by critically handling increased institutional, customer, and environmental pressures.Green entrepreneurship orientation (GEO) seeks to harmonize their relationships with the external environment to foster the impact of green innovation performance (GIP) on environmental performance (EP). Drawing upon the natural resource-based view and dynamic capability theory, the study examines the effect of GEO on GIP and EP. Additionally, the moderating effect of managerial environmental concerns (MEC) on this relationship is also inspected. The results revealed that green absorptive capacity (GAC), environmental cooperation (EC), and MEC significantly affect GEO. Furthermore, GEO positively influenced GIP and EP. Indeed, GEO partially mediates GAC, EC, and managerial concern's relationship on green innovation and EP. Additionally, MEC significantly moderates the relationship between GEO and EP. Firms GEO should adequately enhance green practices performance and EP to accommodate their external environment relationships. The study concluded that green innovation development shifts firms from environmental management to sustainable development. Theoretical and practical implications were also presented.

Learning and knowledge creation are acknowledged as crucial drivers associated with entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and innovation capability (IC). Absorptive capacity (AC) harmonizes internal innovation-building activities with external opportunities, while organizational learning capabilities (OLC) foster entrepreneurial cognitive skills and innovation capabilities. This study aims to (1) predict the impact of absorptive capacity and organizational learning on IC and (2) to estimate the mediation effect of OLC and AC on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and innovation capabilities. Drawing upon the dynamic capability theory, the study had applied a cross-sectional survey targeting Algerian firms to test the hypotheses. The study findings indicate that EO is positively associated with innovation capability. Besides, even though both OLC and AC partially increase EO’s interaction impact on innovation capability as a mediation role, suggesting that the more a firm is entrepreneurially oriented, the more learning and knowledge creation processes are involved in the interaction relationship. This study’s core focus is to overcome the substantial role of learning and knowledge creation processes as an intangible proactive resource that fosters the EO mindset to get involved in innovation activities. It has been discovered that AC and OLC as a connectedness mechanism links external knowledge and internal learning processes to accompany EO readiness during innovation development.

The purpose of this research is (1) to examine the integration impact of IT assets (e.g., intangible IT resources, IT capability, and IT flexibility) on core competency, and (2) to explore the mediating effect of core competency on the relationship between IT assets and sustainable competitive advantage (SCA), and (3) to determine whether IT flexibility strengthen the relationship between core competency and SCA. The study applied a quantitative and cross-sectional approach to collect data from 164 Malaysian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) targeting managers from the middle-to-upper level. The findings infer new insights regarding IT integration's critical role within core competency activities to achieve SCA. The results show that IT assets possess a positive and significant impact on core competency (CC), and CC positively impact SCA.

The brisk spread of Covid-19 led educational policymakers and organizations to opt for better alternatives to resume the students' educational journey. In this context, Microsoft Teams remained one of the most devoted and credible online platforms that greatly facilitated the educational process across the globe. Current research also analyzed Microsoft Teams acceptance using the self-proposed conceptual model supported by the Technology Acceptance Model by Davis. We employed the survey method and examined the gathered using the applied Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Results indicated that there is a significant impact of Covid-19 on the Perceived Ease of Use (p> 0.000) and Perceived Usefulness (p> 0.000). Besides, the relationship between Perceived Ease of Use and Perceived Usefulness also remained significant (p> 0.000). Moreover, the proposed relationship between Attitude, Perceived Ease of Use, and Perceived Usefulness also remained substantial (p> 0.009 and p> 0.000). However, the relationship between Attitude and Behavioral Intention remained insignificant (p> 0.556). Finally, the relationship between Behavioral Intention and Microsoft Teams Acceptance remained significant (p> 0.088). Thus, we concluded that Microsoft Teams is an effective study tool that unites students and instructors in the United Arab Emirates. It governs eLearning experiences and, therefore, provides a virtual environment to students and directly influences our perceptions and behavior.
