“…Regarding Sustainable Results, technological innovation and energy are critical for sustainable development, as corroborated by Raghutla and Chittedi (2021). Thus, our results agree with Cowan et al (2014), Kamoun et al (2020) and Mello et al (2021), in which adopting new technologies and new power-sourced technologies are essential for reducing emissions. Also, corroborating with Sovacool et al (2021), electricity, automation and sharing seem to be intertwined in future mobility solutions.…”

“…Some literature also states that the relationship between development and the environment is possible. Developed and developing nations can use technological advances to reduce CO 2 emissions (Kamoun et al, 2020;Mello et al, 2021;Njoroge et al, 2019) focusing on green technology to achieve economic growth.…”

“…Developing and developed nations will need a greener economy to reduce CO 2 emissions worldwide. In this sense, the literature points out that technological innovation can reduce emissions and positively affect sustainable growth (Jordão et al , 2020; Jordão and Novas, 2023; Kamoun et al , 2020; Ofinade and Alola, 2022; Yan et al , 2018). The search for renewable and sustainable energy sources becomes essential to growth.…”

“…Technologies can impact developing countries’ markets and opportunities, playing a central role in driving productivity and economic development (Schniederjans, 2017). Thus, developed and developing countries must seek technologies to change their social (Marletto, 2019), environmental (Skeete, 2018), economic (Jin et al , 2018) and sustainable patterns (Afrifa et al , 2020; Kamoun et al , 2020).…”

Purpose This paper aims to analyse the technological, economic and environmental impacts of disruptive innovations in the transportation mobility market. Design/methodology/approach The paper gathered data from World Bank and 13 open sources in an exploratory, descriptive and applied investigation on potentially disruptive transport innovations outcomes in G7 and BRICS (Brazil, Russian Federation, India, China and South Africa) economies, businesses and societies. Findings The results suggest positive implications for technological leapfrogging of electric vehicles (EV), autonomous vehicles (AVs) and electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOLs), such as gains in energy consumption, infrastructure improvement, greenhouse gas emissions reduction, economic growth and the opportunity for new disruptive technologies to improve or even revolutionize the transportation ecosystem. Research limitations/implications This study has clear limitations as it compares G7 and BRICS hypothetical scenarios where internal combustion vehicles were replaced by new technologies, ceteris paribus. Even so, as theoretical implications, the study presents market scenarios for EVs, AVs and eVTOLs technologies, bringing benefits to the disruptive innovation theory by expanding the understanding of the subject and also opening avenues of investigation by exploring new technological, economic and environmental possibilities. Practical implications This study emphasises potentially disruptive technologies’ technological, economic and sustainable benefits to countries through technological leapfrogging. The organizations can delve into results to investigate forthcoming markets and seek advantageous positions. Economic and social gains from leapfrogging could motivate government bodies to finance research focusing on EVs, AVs and eVTOLs diffusion. Originality/value The paper’s originality resides in aggregating multiple data sources to compare technological leapfrogging in G7 and BRICS transportation. The different views allowed for exploring the potential outcomes of EVs, AVs and eVTOLs on economic, sustainability and market dimensions in developed and developing countries.

“…In the scientific literature, the intermutual relation between social responsibility and employment are emphasized. By investing into socially responsible activities, smoother consumption of renewable resources, businesses create new employment positions, and contribute to increasing employment and reducing poverty rates [105]. Belyaeva (2015) suggests that by investing in socially responsible activities, companies create additional employment positions, and likewise, increase the value and public image of the business unit.…”

Being one of the open social innovations of business entities, social responsibility is taking an important role in our society. It not only contributes to the improvement of the financial indicators of business entities, but also has a significant impact on the economic development of countries and the creation of well-being of the society members. The business contribution to environmental and social initiatives influences various economic processes and, at the same time, affects the level of poverty in countries. The purpose of this thesis is to review the concept of social responsibility and its content after the analysis of the scientific literature, and to assess the impact of social responsibility on poverty indicators after an empirical study. The assessment was performed by using the methods of analysis of the scientific literature, mathematical–statistical analysis, comparative analysis, correlation analysis, as well as by studying the presented statistical data at the level of the three Baltic States — Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. The conducted research manifested a significant impact of the business units operating in the production sector on the employed people who are at the brink of poverty, by categorizing them by sex, age, and education. The research revealed the negative impact of the business social responsibility that is directed towards the environment field on the poverty rates of older age (65+) residents, due to the installation of new equipment and technologies. Additionally, business investments mostly affect people with secondary, and lower than secondary, education. The influence of the actual pollution amount in the production sector, to ensure the financial stability of the society, was observed. The research results are significant not only to the Baltic region, but to other economies that are seeking to reduce the poverty level in the country, by integrating the business social responsibility as well.
