Emerging Economies and the Race for Environmental Responsibility

This research explores Corporate Environmental Responsibility (CER) in emerging economies, focusing on Peru and Chile. Climate change is reshaping businesses, but these economies face unique challenges. The study used fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis to examine 500+ companies and their motivation to invest in CER. In Peru, small firms adopt CER as a survival strategy, especially in informal sectors. In Chile, large firms adopt CER as a legitimacy strategy to build trust. Digital transformation’s impact varies: it’s limited in Peru by informality but pivotal in Chile, enabling efficiency and cost savings. Policymakers must address barriers like informality and promote digital transformation through clear regulations. The study highlights CER’s global relevance, especially in emerging economies.

From Daughter to Successor: Building Legitimacy in the Family Business

The existing literature on the legitimacy of daughters in the succession process of family businesses tends to separate the analysis between, on the one hand, the role of successor daughters and, on the other hand, the networks that activate and validate their legitimacy. This separation sustains a dualism in the conceptualization of relationships between successor daughters and the various stakeholders. This study addresses this gap by drawing on Strong Structuration Theory and the analysis of five cases of successor daughters. The results highlight that the social legitimacy of successor daughters in family businesses is the result of a continuous interaction between individual agency and social structures, within a logic of duality. It proposes a conceptualization of legitimacy as a dynamic process of social co-construction. The study reveals the interdependence between personal legitimacy and entrepreneurial legitimacy, which mutually reinforce each other through intertwined structuration cycles. This articulation contributes to the progressive co-construction of social legitimacy, emphasizing its evolving and adaptive nature.

Human artificial intelligence at the service of hyperperformance

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.

What is Hyper-Performance?

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.

Innovation Pays Off—Especially with University Partners

Cette étude analyse 2 986 entreprises d’Amérique latine (2009–2017, base LAIS) pour comprendre comment les collaborations universités–entreprises influencent le lien entre dépenses d’innovation et résultats d’innovation. Les résultats montrent (1) une relation positive entre dépenses et résultats, et (2) un effet modérateur significatif de la collaboration universitaire : à budget équivalent, les entreprises partenaires des universités obtiennent davantage d’innovations. La qualité des partenariats compte autant que leur existence. Implications : structurer la coopération (objectifs, IP), investir dans le capital humain, et mobiliser les ressources académiques comme amplificateurs de capacité.

Italy’s Waste Crisis: How the Mafia Turned Trash into Tragedy

Pendant plus de 40 ans, une mauvaise gestion des déchets en Italie a permis à la Mafia de les éliminer illégalement, provoquant une crise sanitaire majeure et des taux de cancer en hausse. Malgré les interventions tardives de l’État, les choix économiques ont souvent prévalu sur la protection de l’environnement et des populations. Cette crise révèle que la gestion des déchets est avant tout une question de pouvoir et de justice sociale, touchant de manière inégale les communautés.

Artificial Intelligence in recruitment : Is ethics a lever for Business Attractiveness?

More organizations use AI in the hiring process than ever before, yet the perceived ethicality of such processes seems to be mixed. With such variation in our views of AI in hiring, we need to understand how these perceptions impact the organizations that use it. In two studies, we investigate how ethical perceptions of using AI in hiring are related to perceptions of organizational attractiveness and innovativeness. Our findings indicate that ethical perceptions of using AI in hiring are positively related to perceptions of organizational attractiveness, both directly and indirectly via perceptions of innovativeness, with variations depending on the type of hiring method used. For instance, we find that individuals who consider it ethical for organizations to use AI in ways often considered to be intrusive to privacy, such as analyzing social media content, view such organizations as both more innovative and attractive.
