... Molfino et al. (2024), on the other hand, stated that AI technology is developing faster than laws and standards, calling for more attention, especially in the field of transportation and warehousing since they are considered one of the riskiest and most dangerous industries. Trincado-Munoz et al. (2024) raised many concerns about the dark side of AI, where developing AI systems that do not consider ethics might lead to co-destruction instead of co-creation. Therefore, joint efforts have been made to develop ethical AI systems that could be adopted in industry. ...

... Given the lack of literature on university activism, a qualitative approach was deemed preferable for capturing its rich and multifaceted nature (Tuckerman et al., 2023) and laying the groundwork for future empirical and theoretical studies. Specifically, to gather extensive empirical evidence on this understudied phenomenon, the multiple case study was considered the most appropriate method capable of generating a better and deeper understanding of the topic (Yin, 2009;Eisenhardt, 1989) by collecting data from the universities' websites. ...

... In their research, Du & Guo (2023) explored the influence of green credit policies on environmentally friendly innovation behavior in environmentally friendly companies and the moderating impact of climate change policy uncertainty. In line with this research, Calderini et al. (2023) and Tuckerman et al. (2023) explain the importance of transformative policy innovation to embed and provide solutions in implementing the principles of social and environmental sustainability. In contrast to previous research, Afewerki et al. (2023) said that policy innovation has a role in developing aquaculture production technology. ...

... Furthermore, this approach reflects fundamental concepts of structure as "rules and resources" [45] and schema as "generalizable procedures" [46]. It echoes the "structure-agency" model that integrates contexts, actions, and strategies [47]. Moreover, the policy regime approach emphasizes "state-society synergy" [48] in which government and communities engage in the process of coproduction [49,50]. ...

... Conservative and traditional management practices are increasingly influenced by the development and use of modern technologies. Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT) and GIS systems with machine learning algorithms are also becoming part of everyday real estate management, [8]. However, the development and application of digital strategies in management companies in Latvia is still in its infancy. ...

... However, soft spaces with boundaries prescribed externally -LRFs being examplesare unlikely to reflect shared ambitions, strong 'place identification' (p. 334), or the historical identities that influence present-day governance (e.g., Gherhes et al., 2023). This resonates with the misalignments of English subnational administrative boundaries, which Newman and Kenny (2023, p. 6) find to 'cause confusion and uncertainty, and contribute to a lack of accountability'. ...

... Existing research on technology convergence has focused on the perspectives of technology trajectories [15,16] and technology composition [17,18], revealing the importance of technology opportunity discovery, technology evolution paths, future emerging technologies, and the ability of enterprises to respond to dynamic technological change. However, technological diversity, complex technology convergence networks, and ambiguous technological boundaries in emerging industries pose serious challenges to the previous similarity-based prediction of technology convergence directions and direct utility evaluation [19,20]. ...

... It is important to understand whether a new or proposed ESO will be useful to all or only some founders to provide a more critical assessment of ESOs, as called for by Wolf-Powers et al. (2017). I follow Owalla et al. (2020) in recommending a policy approach that combines targeted with non-targeted (or "mainstream") programs. It is undoubtedly useful for founders in a mainstream ESO to learn from a diverse group of peers, including those who may be more experienced and have different ideas. ...

... Focusing on qualitative research projects during the COVID-19 pandemic, Rahman et al. (2021) and Adom et al. (2020) discussed the ad-hoc adaptations of qualitative research during the pandemic referring to various qualitative research methods and challenges encountered when digitalizing them. Some of the core qualitative data collection methods, namely, interviews, observations, workshops/action research, were considered, and numerous challenges such as distractions from home life, poor internet connections, last minute rescheduling were discussed. ...

... In the same vein, Clement Addo et al.'s (2021) study on customer engagement concluded a positive correlation between social elements (likes, chats, visits) and online purchase intentions. However, their study did not show how the raters' social-cultural background influenced their online endorsements despite these cases demonstrating the co-emergence of cultural-cognitive and normative legitimacy, the connection between these legitimacies, i.e., how and why they co-emerge and the sequence of their co-emergence, is still understudied (Cordasco et al., 2021). Humphreys (2010) revealed that consumers of diverse cultural backgrounds communicate and make sense of the new product or service offerings. ...
