“…Sustainability has emerged as a competitive strategy that improves corporates' image [18], brings about supply chain performance improvement and operational effectiveness [19]. The sustainability literature is well supported by a growing number of articles investigating SSCM-related criteria [20]; [21].…”

Legislative pressures and public awareness are urging companies to foster sustainability innovations that improve business operations. Limited studies explored the underpinnings of the economic dimension of sustainability innovations; studying economic innovation criteria in the manufacturing sector of emerging economies can inform other industries while recession fears loom the financial prospects. This article develops a decision analysis and evaluation framework for investigating the interdependencies in the network of economic sustainability innovation criteria using fuzzy Total Interpretive Structural Modeling (TISM). It is found that the "availability of financial resources for promoting innovation" is the criterion with the most network relations; this is what the managers should focus on to better pursue sustainability innovations in the supply chains and facilitate the shift towards sustainable industrial development. The study is concluded by providing practical insights into the economic dimension of sustainability innovations for industrial managers and academics.INDEX TERMS Supply chain management; sustainability; economic innovations; Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM); decision analysis.

“…On the contrary, DEMATEL is a technique for identifying criteria dependencies, which improves the shortcomings of ISM, for it can only identify influence with variables 0 and 1. DEMATEL has been widely used in various industries to evaluate the dependence of factors, and many studies have confirmed its effectiveness and usefulness [29][30][31][32][33]. On the other hand, in order to effectively conduct an evaluation in an uncertain environment and measure the confidence of experts in evaluation, this article introduces Z sets theory to replace the general fuzzy theory.…”

As the negative environmental impacts of transportation systems become more severe, governments and environmental groups are seeking more sustainable transportation options, such as replacing fuel-powered vehicles with electric vehicles and expanding public transportation systems to reduce the number of people driving on their own, in order to reduce the environmental impacts of transportation systems. At present, the rapid expansion of public transportation systems is not an easy task and requires a long period of time to plan for expansion and construction, so people are increasingly looking to find means of transportation that meet sustainable conditions as solutions. In this context, electric bicycles are one of the solutions that people can choose, with benefits such as energy saving, carbon reduction, effective air pollution reduction, and simple and labor-saving riding. However, in Taiwan, despite the many benefits of electric bicycles, their popularity is not high. Therefore, this study focuses on the factors that affect the purchase of electric bicycles in Taiwan. The Influential Network Relation Map (INRM) generated by the Z-based Decision-making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (Z-DEMATEL) technique is used to describe the influence relationships among the factors and to establish the key evaluation criteria of electric bicycle purchase intention. The results indicate that vehicle price, safety, motor performance, battery life, and battery durability are the most important factors in purchasing electric bicycles. Furthermore, the power of motor is considered as the factor that most significantly affects other criteria, while safety and price are most likely to be affected by other criteria. This study has contributed to academia and industry, for the dependency weights of these factors are set to provide a scientific and systematic way to show how consumers think in the decision-making process and to provide more reliable information and management implications for the electric bicycle industry.

“…However, research in these areas is rarely found. Currently available research focuses on entrepreneurship and leadership (Grilo & Moreira, 2022 ; Rana et al, 2022 ; Vaccaro & Ramus, 2022 ), transition, transformation, and impact within society (Avelino et al, 2019 ; Dall-Orsoletta et al, 2022 ; Kim et al, 2021 ; Ruthemeier et al, 2022 ), inter-organizational collaborations and value creation (Ozdemir & Gupta, 2021 ), business model, strategy, and governance (de Souza João-Roland & Granados, 2023 ; Dionisio & de Vargas, 2020 ; Gasparin et al, 2021 ; Ney, 2014 ; Peris-Ortiz et al, 2018 ), the role of technology (Boussafi et al, 2021 ; Conti & Orcioni, 2022 ; Enciso-Santocildes et al, 2021 ; C.

Social innovation (SI) is a potential solution to various problems and challenges in the agriculture sector. Agri-tech start-ups can be considered important agents for developing SI in the sector. In Indonesia, agri-tech start-ups are also expected to develop SI for sustainable agricultural development in the medium-term national development plan 2020–2024. Using multiple case studies, this paper attempts to complement the currently available literature and deepen the knowledge regarding the differences between SI and traditional innovation. This research also discusses the role of business organizations, represented by agri-tech start-ups, in developing SI, by observing the diffusion model and innovation-decision process. This research identifies characteristics of SI theoretically complemented with empirical description. Three models of diffusion leading to different types of innovation-decision processes and communication channels are identified. Several internal and external factors are influencing the diffusion process. In the process, the start-ups also hold bridging roles that vary according to company characteristics. Practical implications regarding successful SI development are provided.
