“…The linkage between financial development and shadow economy cannot be ignored (Afshar Jahanshahi, Al‐Gamrh, & Gharleghi, ; Jahanshahi, Gholami, & Rivas Mendoza, ). Financial development contributes in reducing the size of shadow economy (Berdiev & Saunoris, ), and smaller size of shadow economy stimulates sustainable development (Caurkubule & Rubanovskis, ).…”

This paper provides fresh evidence concerning the threshold relationship between the shadow economy and financial development. Shadow economy is quoted as an obstacle to sustainable development and therefore the role of financial development is examined in this paper to tackle the issue of shadow economy. It is based on panel data of 29 developed and developing countries over the period of 1975–2015 and use of panel threshold model. Three proxies for financial development—liquid liabilities, private credit to deposit money banks, and stock market capitalisation—were utilised to obtain the threshold value of US$33,600 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita. This threshold helps to determine the impact of financial development on the size of the shadow economy. Empirical results suggest that above this threshold, financial development significantly contributes to the reduction in size of the shadow economy while it has no impact for countries that have per capita income below this threshold. This implies that, countries with lower per capita income (below $33,600) should implement policies to improve accessibility to finance and credit market which leads to a sufficiently higher per capita income that in turn allows for a reduction in the size of the shadow economy.

“…In particular, our findings show the importance of organisations relying on technologies in making any decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Afshar Jahanshahi et al ( 2020 ) discovered a growing number of employees in thinking and innovation management regions; however—in relation to the ability to have a strong effect on innovative work involvement—this impact is precisely at the beginning of both accounts. In this case, technology may replace certain employees with regard to innovation, innovative management of marketing decisions.…”

The prime concern of this study is to explore how technology influences entrepreneurial marketing decisions during the world pandemic (COVID-19). The study uses a sample of 127 SMEs from Bangladesh. Data were collected by sending out questionnaires electronically and by mail. Smart PLS (SEM) 3.0 was used to analyse the data following the quantitative method. The study reveals positive and significant relationships between entrepreneurial opportunity recognition, opportunity development and opportunity exploitation with their entrepreneurial marketing decisions. It also claims that entrepreneurial passion mediates the relationship between entrepreneurial opportunity recognition and opportunity development with their entrepreneurial marketing decisions. However, entrepreneurial passion does not mediate the relationship between entrepreneurial opportunity exploitation and entrepreneurial marketing decisions. The study offers researchers a broader and more wide-ranging view of the importance of artificial intelligence in small firms. Researchers, educators and practitioners will benefit from the findings. The analyses are more complex and varied than the methodologies used in most of the limited previous research.

“…Most of the studies have collected data from top-level executives, which include CEO/directors (e.g., Burki & Dahlstrom, 2017), senior executives (e.g., Afshar Jahanshahi et al, 2020) and other managers (e.g., Y. S. Chen et al, 2006). Although these respondent groups are well versed with the firm-level issues pertaining to GPcI, the insights and concerns of the lower level managers and other support cannot be neglected.…”

Green process innovation: Where we are and where we are going

Environmental pollution has worsened in the past few decades, and increasing pressure is being put on firms by different regulatory bodies, customer groups, NGOs and other media outlets to adopt green process innovations (GPcIs), which include clean technologies and end-of-pipe solutions. Although considerable studies have been published on GPcI, the literature is disjointed, and as such, a comprehensive understanding of the issues, challenges and gaps is lacking. A systematic literature review (SLR) involving 80 relevant studies was conducted to extract seven themes: strategic response, organisational learning, institutional pressures, structural issues, outcomes, barriers and methodological choices. The review thus highlights the various gaps in the GPcI literature and illuminates the pathways for future research by proposing a series of potential research questions. This study is of vital importance to business strategy as it provides a comprehensive framework to help firms understand the various contours of GPcI. Likewise, policymakers can use the findings of this study to fill in the loopholes in the existing regulations that firms are exploiting to circumvent taxes and other penalties by locating their operations to emerging economies with less stringent environmental regulations.clean technology, end-of-pipe solutions, green innovations, green process innovation, systematic literature review | INTRODUCTIONNations around the globe have prioritised economic and industrial growth over the past few decades, often at the expense of the environment. This growth has mainly relied on conventional technologies, which suffer from inefficient energy consumption and severe greenhouse emissions and thus lead to global warming (J. Dai et al., 2015).Per the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), global warming increases the intensity of extreme weather changes, which causes a rise in the sea level and the melting of glaciers, thereby threatening the existence of life on earth (IPCC, 2013). There is thus a dire need to switch from fossil fuel-led energy-inefficient technologies to focus more on clean and green technologies that are not only energy efficient but also help in pollution and emission reduction in the production processes (Erzurumlu & Erzurumlu, 2013). Furthermore, while green technologies have the ability to control the emission of greenhouse gases into the environment, they also have the potential to address the dilemma of economic growth. Given that governments are less willing to adopt alternative technologies if they compromise their economic and industrial growth, green technologies are particularly promising as they help in energy efficiency and emission reduction at the same time (N. Zhang, Liu, et al., 2017).
