“…For both instances, the opportunistic convenience

of the offerings played a crucial role ( Yale and Venkatesh, 1986 ). Of note, much of the existing convenience theory research concerns criminal behavior, where an opportunity elicits motivated behavior in part due to the perceived advantages that committing the criminal behavior affords ( Gottschalk, 2018 ; Stadler and Gottschalk, 2021 ; Yasir et al., 2021 ). In the present case studies, however, if motivation appears merely from the opportunity of the offer, it seems not to arise from the content, since neither the cocoa farmers nor bean marketwomen had any interest or use for that content.…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate the relationship between committee diversity and firm performance among non-financial firms listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX). Design/methodology/approach This research is based on a comprehensive assessment of secondary data retrieved from annual reports of firms listed on the PSX and publications from the State Bank of Pakistan spanning the period from 2012 to 2021. The study used various statistical models, including pooled regression, fixed effects and random effects, to examine the relationship between diversity among committees and firm performance. Firm-specific variables such as return on assets, return on equity and market price per share were used as proxies for firm performance. Findings The results show that the presence of a female head of the committee on company performance does not show any significant correlation with diversity in board committees. This suggests that the investigation into gender diversity and the appointment of women to leadership positions on these committees is not supported by the findings of this particular sample. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to investigate the impact of committee diversity on firm performance in Pakistan, one of the Next Eleven countries.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide evidence on the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and financial inclusion to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs), an agenda set by United Nations for 2030. Financial inclusion is an enabler of 8 of the 17 SDGs. This paper emphasizes the introduction of AI in the financial sector, which is indispensable for achieving financial inclusion and plays a crucial role in the achievement of SDGs. Design/methodology/approach This study adopts qualitative research methodology to highlight the significance of AI in achieving high levels of financial inclusion in an economy. Both narrative and comparative approaches are used to provide empirical evidence for reaching the UN SDGs target through AI-assisted financial inclusion. Findings AI implementation in finance enables people to take part in the formal financial sector and thus, enhances economic growth and reduces poverty. Research limitations/implications This research is limited in its data. Only five top AI applications are chosen and comparison is made between two countries only. Future research should consider it as an established concept and include more data to strengthen the evidence. Practical implications The results of this paper will help policymakers convince governments and institutions to put their efforts toward AI implementation in financial infrastructure of countries. Originality/value This research is unique in providing real-life examples and cases demonstrating the significance of AI implementation in the financial sector. Recent literature lacks evidence on the relationship of AI, financial inclusion and SDGs. This study adds to the existing literature by compiling data on top AI applications and comparing the performance of countries in achieving financial inclusion with the help of AI.
