“…Teori Konvergensi Simbolik (TKS) dikembangkan oleh Bormann sejak tahun 1972, dengan berfokus pada proses pembentukan dan pemeliharaan kelompok melalui berbagi cerita dan fakta simbolik. Teori komunikasi ini menegaskan, bahwa manusia menciptakan narasi dan rangkaian cerita yang saling mereka bagikan dalam kelompok untuk membentuk, bahkan menjaga kesatuan kelompok (Hossain et. al., 2022).…”

Popularitas game online telah meningkat secara signifikan sejak kemajuan teknologi dan internet. Kebangkitan Internet telah memungkinkan individu untuk mengakses dan membenamkan diri dalam dunia virtual, dengan demikian mengubahnya menjadi kebutuhan fundamental dalam kehidupan manusia. Studi ini menggunakan Teori Konvergensi Simbolik (TKS) untuk menganalisis transformasi makna simbol permainan di antara individu dalam kelompok. Penelitian ini dilakukan melalui metode studi kasus untuk mengklarifikasi proses perubahan yang terjadi pada individu melalui teori konvergensi simbolik. Wawancara mendalam dilakukan dengan lima pemain MLBB, yang diidentifikasi melalui rujukan dari informan awal. Penelitian ini juga menyoroti makna bermain game melalui konvergensi simbolik yang menghasilkan nilai-nilai kompetisi, strategi, dan prestasi menjadi terpusat dalam interpretasi individu dan kolektif terkait bermain MLBB. Hal ini mencerminkan adaptasi komunitas MLBB terhadap dinamika kompetitif dalam industri game saat ini. Interpretasi pemain dari pesan dapat dipengaruhi oleh konstruksi simbolik individu dalam kelompok, sehingga persepsi pemain tentang permainan sebagai simbol juga dapat terpengaruh. Hal ini menekankan, bahwa game online adalah proses yang dinamis dan transformatif bagi individu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, bahwa dalam era kompetitif saat ini, bermain game, khususnya dalam komunitas MLBB telah menjadi simbol kuat dari semangat persaingan. Para pemain MLBB mengalami pergeseran signifikan dalam persepsi mereka terhadap bermain game, dari aktivitas rekreasi hingga sebagai sarana untuk menguji keterampilan dan memenangkan pertandingan.

Purpose This study aims to examine the extent and quality of biodiversity reporting within publicly traded companies in Italy during 2022, amidst growing calls worldwide for enhanced corporate environmental responsibility. Design/methodology/approach The study proposes a framework derived from existing biodiversity reporting literature and international guidelines on the topic. Using data from companies’ non-financial reports, the voluntary biodiversity disclosure index is quantified on disclosed information. Various quality reporting characteristics are also deepened. Sector-specific analysis is conducted across 11 industries. Findings Approximately 30% of companies in the sample release information on their biodiversity practices/initiatives regarding biodiversity and extinction loss risks. Quantitative analysis reveals a general commitment to disclosure yet falls short of optimal standards. Qualitative insights suggest a genuine intention towards reporting exists, with notable gaps in future orientation, double materiality and mitigation strategies. The quality analysis underscores that the reporting is mainly generalised, narrative and disaggregated concerning actions to restore habitats and ecosystems. Research limitations/implications A limitation of this study is the observation of annual reports during one reporting period. Future studies of longer duration would provide cross-period insights into corporate behaviour. Practical implications Policymakers should implement regulations and guidelines specifically tailored to biodiversity reporting, providing clear frameworks and standards for companies. Collaborative initiatives between governments, businesses and environmental organisations offer potential to develop best practices and facilitate knowledge-sharing in biodiversity reporting. Social implications Collaborative initiatives between governments, businesses and environmental organisations offer potential to develop best practices and facilitate knowledge sharing in biodiversity reporting. Originality/value The study contributes to future biodiversity disclosure research by introducing a comprehensive framework that fosters stakeholder trust and environmental accountability. It also sheds light on biodiversity stewardship among Italian companies, under EU directives.

We explore a new phenomenon of multi‐stakeholder orientation and engagement in corporate communication: letters to stakeholders. By applying content, semantic, and quantitative analyses to standardized corporate communication among the 100 largest multinational companies worldwide, our study reveals that approximately one‐third of the examined companies have begun to utilize what could be considered letters to stakeholders. We demonstrate that letters to stakeholders adopt a multi‐stakeholder orientation, which describes the ability to speak a language that is widely comprehensible by a diverse audience. Letters to stakeholders are positively related to firm willingness to display multi‐stakeholder engagement activities by embracing stakeholder recognition, support, and dialog. Our findings position letters to stakeholders as a promising tool for and approach to corporate communication that improves the legitimacy and moral consideration of stakeholders.
