“…This leads to higher differentiation potential with competitors and might influence organisational performance. Literature supports that proactive customer and competitors' orientations are positively associated with organisations' performance (Durie, 2018). Further, proactive anticipation of trends and its effects on the BM is associated with organisational resilience and so is BMI (Buliga et al, 2016).…”

Purpose Organisations need to tackle emerging trends that affect business models (BM) by modifying, changing or re‐designing their models. Attending this complex environment by understanding trends and the strategies actors use to handle these competing demands is strategically important for innovation management and sustaining organisations.. Therefore, this study aims to investigate how organisations assess and deal with these complex and relevant challenges. Design/methodology/approach A total of 18 higher management experts between the ages of 27 and 59 years participated in this four-month qualitative interview-based study. The interviews were analysed by using systematic, qualitative content analysis. Findings Results showed that all elements of a BM are influenced by emerged trends, and how organisations deal with them can decide whether the impact poses as risk or offers opportunities. Trends trigger two different strategies – reactive and proactive resilience strategies – which are closely related to the change sensitivity of the attributional resilience model, thereby presenting a crucial factor for enhancing resilience. Nevertheless, the proactive resilience strategy seems to be more promising for enhancing organisational resilience regarding the influence of trends on their BM. Moreover, this study found that the usage of foresight methods might be suitable as an important tool for proactive resilience strategy to modification, change or re-design of BM and consequently anticipate trends. Originality/value Overall, this study is one of the first that explains how BMs are influenced by trends and how organisations handle them by using organisational resilience strategies.

“…Studies have suggested that FDI can accelerate the transition process by forming a basis for more effective corporate governance system and by promoting enterprise restructuring (Djankov & Murrell 2002). Corporate governance has appeared to be one of the major factors that can influence investment decisions (Gibson 2003;Durie & Beshir 2018), such as FDI.…”

The Malaysian government has encouraged the corporate sector to be seriously committed in supporting sustainable development. One of the elements in sustainable development is the inclusiveness of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the corporate sector. FDI plays an important role in the economy as it generates an economic growth by increasing the domestic capital formation and hence, promoting sustainability. This study examines the relationship of corporate governance characteristics on foreign direct investment among property public listed companies in Malaysia. Specifically, this study examines the effect of board of directors’ characteristic namely board size, board meeting, board independence and CEO-Chairman duality role on foreign direct investment of the property public listed companies. This study relies on content analysis on the annual reports of 50 public listed property companies in in Malaysia for year 2007-2016. The results show that board meetings and board independency have a significant positive relationship on foreign direct investment of the public listed property companies. However, the results show that board size and CEO-Chairman duality do not have a significant relationship on foreign direct investment of the public listed property companies. The findings in this study implicate the importance of the board of directors’ involvement in ensuring effective and efficient decisions related to foreign direct investment.

Purpose: This study aims to address the existing research gap, as well as to explore the various types of flexibility which could contribute in mitigating supply chain risks. Methodology: In this regard, we consider three aspects under SCR namely; manufacturing process risk, delivery risk, and supply risk. The study explores the relationships among supply chain risk and environmental uncertainty, and the moderating role of supply chain flexibility by employing data of 91 manufacturing companies and develop a structural equation modelling. Results: Developing economies are contributing well in the global trade and are responsible for 50% of the generated global output. They present future prospects for economic growth and pose challenges mainly because of immature supply chain operations. Considering the critical role of emerging economies in global supply chain, such as India and China, it is also important to observe the moderating and driving supply chain risk factors in these regions. It is assumed that this study will not only fill the existing gap in the literature of SCRM but will assist researchers and practicing managers, by enabling them to fully understand certain types of supply chain flexibility, thus reducing the SCR under business environments.
