Unsustainable consumption is a pressing issue requiring innovative solutions. Gamification is a promising approach with the potential to drive a shift toward sustainable consumption. This study delivers a state‐of‐the‐art overview of gamification as a strategy for sustainable consumption, shedding light on its role at the intersection of environmental sustainability, sustainability education, sustainable behavioral changes, sustainable living, sustainable tourism, and workplace sustainability, underscoring that sustainable consumption (e.g., energy) is not only personal but also professional. This study also offers a rich organizer of antecedents (game mechanics, incentives and mechanisms, social dynamics, sustainability focus, and user experience), mediators and moderators (psychographic and socio‐cultural), controls (demographic and contextual), and outcomes (behavioral changes, consumption patterns, and psychographic shifts), alongside relevant theories and methods, to provide a finer‐grained, toolbox‐like understanding of gamification for sustainable consumption. This study concludes with avenues for future research to drive new frontiers where gamification can contribute to sustainable consumption, and by extension, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12 on Responsible Consumption and Production.

The metaverse is emerging from the amalgamation of augmented and virtual reality. Given the novelty and recency of the metaverse and its potential implications for marketing, this study aims to (i) explore how marketing could manifest and evolve in the metaverse and how consumer behavior may be influenced (what) by (ii) engaging in a systematic literature review focusing on the positives and negatives of the metaverse (how), so that (iii) marketers can plan for, progress in, and prosper from informed metaverse marketing strategies (so what). The study sheds light on the metaverse and its impact on marketing through an integrative framework that highlights the bright and dark side of the metaverse based on six key themes: increased digital innovation and transformation, new marketing possibilities, consumers’ interest in the metaverse, threatened digital privacy and legal challenges, health concerns, and sustainability issues. The study also presents 10 prominent cases of metaverse marketing in the real world to enrich and support the findings. The study concludes by outlining the directions for the future of metaverse marketing.
Grasping the evolving landscape of management and organizations in Asia Pacific is vital for addressing the challenges and opportunities they both face in the region and beyond. To do so, we conduct a systematic literature review using a bibliometric analysis of the Asia Pacific Journal of Management (APJM), the leading journal for management and organizational research in Asia Pacific that is celebrating its 40th anniversary. A total of 915 articles published by APJM from 2001 to 2024 were retrieved from the Scopus database and subsequently subjected to a performance analysis of productivity (publications) and impact (citations) alongside a science mapping of knowledge (themes). This study reveals a steady increase in APJM publications and citations, underscoring the journal’s growing influence. The globalization of collaboration networks is a noteworthy trend, highlighting the interconnectedness of research efforts across borders. Major themes include cultural understanding and interpersonal networks, as well as the adaptability of organizations in emerging economies. Areas such as innovation, performance, and corporate governance highlight the importance of growth, competitiveness, and responsible management structures, while research on major Asian markets like China, India, and Thailand underscores the relevance of globalization and multinational strategies. The findings offer future directions in key areas such as emerging economies and institutional environments, relationship networks and social resilience, innovation and digital transformation, managing internationalization, and methodological innovation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
