Synergies of Institutional Theory and Dynamic Capability View in Firm Performance: Exploring Climate Change Adaptation and B2B Marketing Capabilities

Based on institutional theory and the dynamic capability view, this study delves into the relationship between a firm’s climate change adaptation (CCA) capability and its performance, with a focus on the mediating influence of business-to-business (B2B) marketing capability. The study poses two main research questions: RQ1: What role do institutional pressures play in fostering CCA capability among B2B firms in both developed and developing countries? RQ2: How does the CCA capability of B2B firms impact their performance? To validate the theoretical model developed, data is collected through surveys conducted in a developed country (Australia) and a developing country (South Africa). The study holds significance on two fronts: (a) being among the first to examine the influence of institutional pressures on CCA capability development, and (b) uncovering the mediating role of marketing capability in enhancing B2B firm performance through CCA capability. The study’s novel contribution lies in identifying pivotal elements for driving exceptional B2B firm performance amidst climate change, while employing institutional theory and the dynamic capability view to elucidate underlying mechanisms.

Our goal was to understand the effectiveness of a company in attracting its customer targets. To do this, we have developed a model that links a company’s marketing activities to the mix of customers who buy from the company. Most marketing models simply ask how a company’s marketing activities influence the number of customers who buy the brand. We wondered how a company’s marketing activities influence the types of customers who buy the brand.

Not-for-profit organizations have long faced the challenge of balancing budgets when they simultaneously seek to retain and recruit new donors. In principle, existing donors can be targeted based on their previous donation data. However, for new donors, this data is not available or may be difficult to obtain from secondary sources. What should non-profit organizations do? We suggest 2 alternatives.

Robotic warehouses have transformed logistics, prioritizing speed and efficiency. However, traditional static priority systems often leave low-priority customers facing excessive delays, raising concerns about fairness. This research, based on Invia, a robotic warehouse company, proposes a dynamic priority allocation model to balance efficiency and fairness. By adjusting order priorities over time, this approach ensures that both high-priority and long-waiting low-priority orders receive timely fulfillment. Through stochastic modeling and simulations, we demonstrate that dynamic prioritization reduces delays compared to static and first-come, first-served (FCFS) models. Case studies in e-commerce and healthcare logistics illustrate the broader impact of fairness in automation. As industries increasingly rely on AI-driven decision-making, the balance between efficiency and equity becomes critical. This research challenges the assumption that robotic warehouses should optimize for speed alone and advocates for a future where fairness plays a central role in automated commerce.

Dans un contexte économique sans précédent marqué par une pandémie mondiale, l’entrelacement complexe du discours sur le greenwashing à l’ère des fake news s'est intégré au tissu de la durabilité d’entreprise, remodelant les perceptions des managers et mettant à l’épreuve leur attitude face aux décisions durables. À travers une étude qualitative en deux phases, cette recherche examine l’impact du discours sur le greenwashing sur les perceptions et attitudes des managers vis-à-vis de la durabilité en France après la pandémie. Les résultats révèlent une déconnexion entre le discours externe sur le greenwashing et l’état d’esprit des managers, ces derniers associant souvent les accusations de greenwashing aux « fake news ». De plus, l’étude montre que la pandémie a déplacé l’attention vers les préoccupations financières, reléguant la durabilité au second plan dans la prise de décision stratégique et modifiant ainsi le paysage de la responsabilité d’entreprise. En allant au-delà du cadre habituel centré sur les consommateurs et les clients, cette étude vise à combler un vide critique dans la recherche sur le greenwashing en examinant son impact sur différents acteurs. À travers cette analyse, nous cherchons à contribuer aux recherches sur le discours du greenwashing en offrant une compréhension plus approfondie des complexités et des nuances entourant les perceptions managériales de ce discours et des initiatives de durabilité dans une époque marquée par des défis sans précédent.

Sustainability depends less on consumer choices and more on how supply chains are structured. Research on Brazil’s beef sector shows that, despite the BRSL initiative to improve sustainability, results fell short. Four types of distance geographical, organizational, cultural, and relational hindered collaboration. These gaps created communication problems and weakened trust among stakeholders. Real progress requires external mediators, such as governments or NGOs, to reconnect the entire supply chain.

Artificial intelligence is already transforming lives and organizations. It brings a huge potential, for example, to achieve hyper-performance. Which is not about adding more trainings. But rather finding and removing obstacles from human minds. And artificial intelligence can facilitate that efficiently. It can help us to learn more about our own intelligence. Thus, giving us a unique chance to finally re-unite both intelligences.

It is a state of performance when all unnecessary human thought is minimized or completely suppressed. Such as bad judgments, distracting thoughts, subjective biases, bad decisions, etc. For example, employees may be reluctant to accept artificial intelligence. That means there’s something in their mind that stops them. That something is the root cause.

Circular Economy (CE) practices have the potential to increase the sustainable, societal and environmental performance of organisations and therefore contribute to meeting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The objective of this research is to examine the adoption of sustainable practices by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and its impact on their environmental and societal performance.
