    Many studies are available on the relationship between natural resources, economic growth, and sustainable development; however, studies on the influence of debt servicing and its role in sustainable economic growth in poor economies are missing. This study explores the influence of natural resources and debt servicing on the economic growth of highly indebted poor economies between 1988 and 2021, including the role of renewable electricity output. Various time-series approaches were employed, including unit root tests (ADF with and without break years, DF-GLS) and Bayer-Hanck cointegration. The empirical evidence indicates a positive contribution of natural resource rents, like natural gas and coal, to economic growth. Preliminary findings were offered by utilizing FMOLS, DOLS, and CCR, and to ascertain the precision, robustness techniques varied from parametric to nonparametric analyses were employed. Conversely, renewable electricity output reduces long-term economic growth. These outcomes were confirmed by robust regression analysis, structural breaks, simple least squares, and quantile regression. The research provides policy implications for the prudent use of external debts, natural resources, and renewable electricity output for sustainable economic growth. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    This study proposes an investment evaluation and incentive allocation model for public-private partnerships (PPPs) in renewable energy development projects (REDPs). A hybrid multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) and bi-level optimization model are proposed to evaluate investment opportunities and allocate government financial incentives (GFIs) to REDPs. The best-worst method (BWM) is used to weigh the evaluation criteria. VIKOR and grey relational analysis (GRA) rank and allocate GFIs to the private sector companies selected to participate in the REDPs. The government uses the PPP to persuade digital services companies in the private sector to invest in underdeveloped REDPs using financial incentives with minimal risk and maximum return. An iterative full-enumeration-based heuristic model is developed to handle the computational intractability in the bi-level model. The computational results show that political and financial support and land use are the most and the least important criteria, respectively. Moreover, we show that the government prefers to allocate a significant portion of its GFIs to waste heat recovery and hydropower in partnership with digital services companies. The results from the bi-level model help government agencies and policymakers offer equitable incentive programs in the energy sectors. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Purpose: Organizational sustainability in the changing market requires adequate management of resources and opportunities; thus, entrepreneurship and digitization have acquired special relevance as key elements in the training programs offered for employee’s development. In order to analyze whether employee motivations influence corporate entrepreneurial development and consider the influence of this type of training program on intrapreneurial activity, a survey of 241 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Community of Madrid was carried out. Design/methodology/approach: The analysis was conducted using the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) methodology. Findings: This analysis provides a new perspective for the research of the training programs proposed and puts forward recommendations to achieve an approach that favors entrepreneurial development. The paper concludes by discussing the implications for managers and business leaders and showing actions to integrate digitalization with transversal value for continuous and sustainable development. Originality/value: The value of this article lies in demonstrating that training in entrepreneurial skills or digital tools is not a necessary variable for the presence of entrepreneurship in the organization; however, an absence of training in these areas does imply that intrapreneurial characteristics do not develop. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Unleashing supply chain innovation and frugal innovation: examining the interaction between institutional pressures and supply chain analytics adoption

    Purpose: This study investigates the effects of institutional pressures on the adoption of supply chain analytics (SCA) and its subsequent impact on supply chain (SC) innovation and frugal innovation. It also examines the correlation between SC innovation and frugal innovation. Design/methodology/approach: The study collected data from manufacturing companies in Jordan. PLS path analysis is applied. Findings: The PLS path analysis showed that coercive pressures did not significantly affect the outcome, but both normative and mimetic ones were found to have significant effects on SCA adoption. The study also shows that SCA plays a significant role in SC innovation and frugal innovation. Furthermore, it demonstrates that SC innovation significantly impacts frugal innovation. Originality/value: Overall, these findings provide valuable theoretical implications to the literature by advancing our understanding of the interactive relationships between institutional pressures, SCA, SC innovation and frugal innovation. Understanding the role that institutional pressures play in SCA adoption and its subsequent impact on SC innovation and frugal innovation enables organizations to strategically position themselves for competitive advantage and sustainable growth within the dynamic field of supply chain management. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
