Information Systems (IS) architects to continuously refine data models and meticulously select storage and
management options that align with requirements. While existing solutions focus on data model transformation,
none offer guidance in selecting the most suitable data model for a given use case. In this context, we propose
DaMoOp, an automated approach for leading data model selection process. DaMoOp starts from a conceptual
model and associated use case comprising queries, settings and infrastructure constraints, to generate relevant
logical data models. A cost model, considering environmental, financial, and temporal factors, facilitates
comparison and selection of the most suitable data model. Our cost model incorporates both data model and
queries costs. Additionally, we suggest a data model selection process that enhances the ability to choose the
optimal data model(s) for a specific use case, while also adapting to rapidly evolving use cases. We provide a
strategic optimization approach designed to identify the most cost-efficient and stable data model as use case
scenarios evolve. Moreover, we offer a simulation tool for the entire process, which enables visualizing the
impact of use case variations on data model costs, thus empowering IS architects to make informed decisions},

abstract = {This paper examines how human capital (HC) outflows, triggered by economic sanctions imposed on Russia, constitute a profound environmental disruption with long-term consequences for firms. Drawing on HC theory and based on case studies of three companies in the Russian IT sector, the study analyzes how large-scale talent relocation, referred to as brain-drain, undermines firms' strategic investments in HC development. We find that in the face of sustained uncertainty, human resource (HR) managers adopt reactive approaches, leading to the widespread abandonment of professional development initiatives. We argue that this shift risks eroding orga- nizational capabilities and placing firms at a long-term competitive disadvantage. By moving beyond macro- economic discussions of sanctions and focusing on firm-level human resource management (HRM) responses, this study offers new theoretical insights into how geopolitical shocks reshape HRM practices and disrupt the un- derlying logic of HC investment in high-skill industries.},

abstract = {Natural fibres are well known for their high efficiency in evaporation and humidification applications, making them a promising solution for cooling processes during heat waves. Mimicking the evapotranspiration mechanisms of trees is essential for designing optimal fibre wicks in canopy-like devices. Such devices are designed by their capillary rising height and water storage capacity. This study examines the water retention properties and capillary rise height of various yarns: retention tests for surface properties and tomographies for topographical aspects are combined to explain observed water rising height in samples. Tomographic analyses document pore sizes, fibre diameters, and water distribution within the wicks. Water retention properties among the samples range from less than 10% to over 20% of dry mass, reflecting significant wettability differences. However, the ultimate height of water ascension primarily depends on the structural yarn properties. Repeated tomographic scans during the rise reveal that water initially ascends in fibre-dense regions. The competition between capillary and tensile forces causes displacements, redistributing fibre densities. In plant fibres, swelling amplifies these displacements and propagates them along the wick axis. Water envelops individual fibres or bundles, penetrating into the lumens. The size of wet lumens increases due to internal capillary pressure, which is influenced by the convexity of the internal walls. This pressure drives a creeping progression of the water front along the fibre axis. The study finds that a high number of strings with intermediate porosities, which accommodate swelling, enhances the capillary rise height. However, further research is needed to fully understand the role of lumens. While they provide additional water storage capacity and facilitate capillary action through small diameters, they may also reduce the flow rate of water ascent.},

reinforced by therapeutic guidance, surrounding support, and personal preparation; 2) the encounter stage and
the interplay between physical and psychological conditions in which cognitive, emotional and social resources
are at stake; and 3) the post-encounter stage with the lasting impact and consequences of this transformative
experience of self-reflection on both individuals and service providers. It clarifies the transformative potential
inherent in embracing pain, guiding patients towards personal growth, and empowerment, and the cultivation of

Additionally, it investigates the mediating roles of big data analytical capability and sustainable marketing in the relationship between big data knowledge management and performance while considering market turbulence as a boundary condition. Using a survey-based research design, data were collected in two waves from 323 managerial-level employees in the Pakistani hospitality industry and analyzed using structural equation modeling. The findings confirm the mediating roles of big data analytical capability and sustainable marketing while revealing that market turbulence weakens the positive association between sustainable marketing and performance. From a theoretical perspective, this study provides empirical support for the proposed hypotheses, offering insights into how big data knowledge management and analytical capability contribute to sustainable marketing and performance in emerging markets. From a managerial standpoint, the findings provide practical guidance for top management on effectively utilizing big data to maximize returns in the hospitality industry.},

Therefore, this research aims to determine the impact of brand transgression on brand retaliation and the mediating role of negative emotions between brand transgression and brand retaliation. Using attribution theory, this study determines the extent to which the relationship between brand transgression and negative emotions is moderated by brand love and the association between negative emotion and brand retaliation is moderated by positive word-of-mouth (WOM). The data was collected using a survey questionnaire from 357 consumers and analyzed using process macros analysis techniques. The findings show a positive linkage between brand transgression and brand retaliation among consumers in the hospitality industry. Lastly, this study confirmed that brand love weakens the positive relationship between brand transgression and negative emotions, and positive WOM weakens the positive relationship between negative emotions and brand retaliation.},

firms evolve and adapt their governance practices over time and across different institutional environments.
Research Findings/Insights: Based on a sample of 23,530 firm-year observations from 51 countries over the period 2013-2021,
we find that corporate lifecycle has a positive effect on board gender diversity and board tenure. This positive effect is more pro-
nounced in firms operating in countries with stronger investor protection and in firms facing higher external market discipline.
However, the corporate lifecycle has a negative effect on the proportion of board members with financial or industry expertise.
This negative relationship turns positive when investor protection strengthens, and market pressure intensifies. The results also
show that gender quota adoption positively influences the association between corporate lifecycle and board gender diversity.
Theoretical/Academic Implications: The findings support lifecycle and legitimacy theory perspectives suggesting that or-
ganizations face different challenges and legitimacy pressures at various phases of their lifecycle. To overcome those challenges,
companies are likely to adjust their internal governance structures accordingly. The results also provide support for regulations
on gender quotas in the boardroom.
Practitioner/Policy Implications: Our results suggest that in the early stages, a company considers appointing financial or
industry skilled directors who offer essential knowledge for corporate growth and success. As the company matures, the focus
shifts toward bolstering corporate legitimacy and gaining social acceptance. This transition indicates a shift toward holistic
governance, where the company prioritizes the representation of stakeholders' interests, both in substantive and symbolic ways.},

note = {Given the importance of service orientation in the hospitality sector, this study investigates the process through which servant leaders develop follower's servant attitude and helping behavior. In particular, we argue that followers observe and emulate their servant leaders' service-oriented approach, leading them to internalize this attitude and engage in helping behaviors toward their colleagues. Furthermore, this process is stronger among followers who develop a strong relational identity with their leader. In such cases, the followers' relational need for close association with the leader compels them to adopt a service attitude. To test these predictions, we draw from time-lagged, multi-source field survey data collected from 222 leader-follower dyads across several hospitality sector organizations in Pakistan. The results support our predictions: servant leadership positively predicts followers' servant attitude, which in turn steers them to engage in helping behaviors. Additionally, followers' relational identity invigorates the positive effects of servant leadership on followers' servant attitudes. These findings provide important insights for organizations and leaders in cultivating a service climate and eliciting helpful behavior at work.},

The study investigated several volume fractions of hexadecane between 0 and 15 vol%. and the temperature was varied in situ to investigate the liquid and solid states of hexadecane droplets (below and above 18 °C respectively). Various concentrations of 0 to 1 vol% of anionic bis (2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate sodium (AOT) were used as anti-agglomerant agent and to ensure the continuous flow. Based on the capillary viscometer method associated with Rabinowitsch and Mooney's equation, the apparent viscosity of these emulsions (hexadecane in liquid state), dispersions (hexadecane in solid state) was determined by measuring the pressure drops of the flowing fluid as a function of the flow rate. We observed that the viscosity of those systems increased with the volume fraction of hexadecane, both in liquid and solid state. We also observed that the viscosity can be decreased by cycling the emulsions in the loop. This decrease of viscosity was accompanied by a decrease of the mean droplets size measured by granulometry analysis. We showed in this work the important role of AOT to avoid emulsion agglomeration during the cooling in the loop.},

Design/methodology/approach: This study uses ordinary least squares (OLS), propensity score matching (PSM), and two-stage least squares (2SLS) estimators on a longitudinal panel dataset of French firms observed between 2004 and 2020 to test the association between family firms and waste management. Additionally, difference-in-differences (DiD) estimation is employed to assess the influence of the implementation of the SDGs in 2015 on waste management practices in these firms.
Findings: The findings demonstrate that family firms are more engaged in reducing waste generation and improving waste recycling. This result suggests that these firms prioritize sustainable initiatives that aim to preserve social legitimacy and family reputation. Further analyses show that waste generation (waste recycling) decreases (increases) with the voting rights held by the family, for families in the first-generation stage, and if a family member holds the position of the CEO or the chairperson of the board of directors. Additionally, the effect of family firms on waste production and waste recycling is more accentuated after the implementation of the SDGs, and in ecologically innovative firms.
Practical implications: Our results provide valuable insights for family firms to maintain their environmental commitment, especially during generational transitions or when appointing non-family members in leadership positions. In addition, policymakers should consider expanding the implementation of regulations and incentives that encourage family firms to adopt sustainable waste management practices.
Originality/value: This study is the first to test the nexus between family firms and waste management practices, by focusing on family firms' dimensions, such as control, generational stage, and family involvement in management and the board.},

This study analyzes entrepreneurial success in social network relations, evaluating green entrepreneurial orientation and environmental dynamism as mediators alongside entrepreneurial competencies as a moderator. A total of 358 senior managers participated in this research, selected through simple random sampling methods and analyzed using SmartPLS 4.0. The outcomes of this study demonstrate how SMEs can sustainably grow their businesses through social networks, which enhance their fundamental business approaches and operational success levels. Results indicate that green entrepreneurial orientation and environmental dynamism are associated with a positive indirect relationship in achieving entrepreneurial success. The influence of social networks on entrepreneurial success receives additional strengthening power from the moderation factor of entrepreneurial competencies. The research findings provide decision-making support for sustainable practices and SME development initiatives, benefiting both entrepreneurs and government authorities.},

Through hierarchical dendrogram analysis and comparative clustering metrics, our method demonstrates superior performance by accurately and interpretably delineating clusters directly from raw data, thus preserving data integrity. Empirical findings highlight the algorithm's robustness in constructing meaningful clusters and reveal its potential in overcoming issues related to clustered data explainability. The novelty of this work lies in its departure from traditional dimensionality reduction techniques and its innovative use of logical rules that enhance both cluster formation and clarity, thereby contributing a significant advancement to the discourse on clustering mixed data.},

This suggests that competitive pressure drives firms to focus on core operations and cost-cutting measures to maximize shareholder value. Further analysis reveals that firms operating in competitive markets are less exposed to climate change risks when they possess substantial market share, exhibit high diversification, and face fewer financial constraints. The results also suggest that the positive relationship between competition and climate change exposure is more pronounced following the 2015 Paris Agreement, though this effect is weaker among firms with a CSR committee on the board. These findings offer important insights for market participants, highlighting the need to balance short-term competitive strategies with long-term sustainability under competitive pressure.},

We also shed light on the moderating role of information and business risks.
Using a sample of 244 French listed firms over the period 2010-2020, we find
that managerial ability is negatively associated with the cost of debt. In
particular, able managers are likely to reduce the cost of debt through their
ability to effectively manage the firm, increase firm credibility and reduce
information asymmetry. The results also reveal that the negative effect of
managerial ability on the cost of debt is less pronounced in the presence of high
information and business risks. These findings suggest that risk components
play a vital role in lending decisions. Further evidence shows that the negative
effect of managerial ability on the cost of debt is more prevalent in firms with
better governance and audit quality but less prevalent in family-owned firms.},

This study examines the impact of AI-driven innovation on the financial performance of sustainability-focused investments by analyzing the relationship between AI patent activity and the market returns of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Employing a state-space framework and a Kalman Filter model, we capture the dynamic influence of AI advancements on SDG-aligned ETFs, revealing that technological progress significantly enhances excess returns, particularly in the clean energy and water resource sectors. However, our analysis also uncovers sectoral variations in AI's financial impact, indicating that the benefits of AI innovation are unevenly distributed across industries. These findings bridge the gap between sustainable finance and technological innovation, demonstrating that AI serves as both a financial accelerator and a sustainability enabler. By integrating AI-driven innovation into asset pricing models, this study provides actionable insights for investors, policymakers, and corporate strategists, emphasizing the need to incorporate AI-based metrics into investment decision-making, risk assessment frameworks, and regulatory policies to foster sustainable economic growth.},

Family eponymy negatively influences carbon emissions. Surprisingly, the
effect of the family generational stage is positive, suggesting that family
firms in the first generations are more virtuous than those in subsequent
generations. Additional evidence shows that the presence of founder CEOs

also found that green innovation, polluting industries, and the Paris Agree-
ment and the energy transition law of 2015 strengthened carbon emission
reductions among family firms. Finally, committing to carbon emission

Analyzing 37,426 firm-year observations from DealScan and Refinitiv's environmental, social and governance (ESG) transition data (2002-2021), we find that lenders offer lower interest rates to firms with prior relationships and strong ESG commitments, particularly environmental ones. While environmental factors receive favourable treatment, economic and governance transitions are less prioritized. Lenders tend to form more dispersed syndicates when supporting firms focused on ESG transitions, especially environmental ones. This research highlights the uneven focus within ESG transitions and emphasizes the underexamined area of governance, providing insights into lending relationships.},

BIG4 auditor selection and audit fees. Results show that board co-option significantly reduces audit quality, a
finding robust to alternative co-option measures, propensity score matching, and IV-Probit models. Notably, the
presence of a CSR committee and stronger governance scores mitigate these negative effects - highlighting their
significant role. These findings accentuate the need for regulatory reforms to strengthen board independence and
institutionalize CSR committees, enhancing governance practices and accountability.},

However, the recent increase in enrolment, as well as the implementation of cluster-building policies, has brought the issue of university segregation and its geography to the forefront. This article proposes the first exhaustive geographical decomposition of segregation in French universities. Using a mutual information index, we identify the different local components and layers of social segregation and measure their contribution to the national level of segregation between 2006 and 2016. Our results show that in the French university system, segregation is quite low and tended to decrease over the period. However, we also show that only about 18% of the total segregation is due to macro-scale factors: i.e., social differences across regional areas: social segregation is mainly a local phenomenon that could be reduced with reforms of higher education enrolment policy, implemented at the regional level.},

Distressed firms exhibit a heightened inclination to employ both accruals and real earnings management, with a greater emphasis on accruals over real earnings management. Conversely, financial distress reduces the use of earnings management by classification shifting. This effect is more pronounced for distressed firms operating in competitive markets. This is the first study to explore product market competition as a main driver through which financial distress positively affects earnings management. It offers stakeholders valuable insights into the manipulative behaviours of distressed firms in competitive environments, helping in more informed risk management decisions.},

Despite this growing interest, their impact on waste management and circular economy initiatives is yet to be explored.

Analyzing 1001 firm-year observations over 2011-2021 in France, the results reveal that long-term (short-term) institutional investors negatively (positively) affect waste generation. This suggests that long-term investors exert pressure on managers to prioritize waste reduction strategies, supporting the neo-institutional theory perspective. Further analysis shows that the effect of long-term institutional investors on waste generation has accentuated after the adoption of the French Law on the Energy Transition in 2015, especially for firms with high environmental performance and strong corporate governance and those operating in environmentally sensitive industries. These results offer actionable insights for policymakers, investors, and corporate managers seeking to promote sustainable waste management practices.},

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.

abstract = {Purpose
The information and communications technology (ICT) industry is revolutionizing the world. However, achieving net zero emissions and sustainable development goals is equally important. This study uses intellectual capital-based and natural resource-based theories to determine whether green information technology capital (GITC) mediates the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and environmental performance. The role of the top management teams (TMT) green commitment as a moderator between CSR and GITC is also hypothesized.
Design/methodology/approach
Data were collected using multi-wave and multi-respondent strategies from 275 ICT firms to examine these relationships. Structural equation modeling was used for analysis.
Findings
The findings demonstrate that CSR significantly and positively impacts environmental performance, with GITC significantly mediating this relationship. Furthermore, the statistical results confirm that TMT's green commitment significantly strengthens the connection between CSR and GITC.
Originality/value
The significance of TMT's green commitment as a boundary condition that enhances the effectiveness of strategically aligned CSR practices provides novel theoretical insights to extend the CSR literature. Additionally, it offers practical implications for the managers of ICT firms, which are discussed in detail.},

measured as the fraction of directors appointed after the Chief Executive Officer

due to the significant impact of high risk-taking on financial crises and the
heightened expectations placed on board members for risk oversight. Despite
growing research on corporate governance and FFDR, little attention has been
paid to the role of CODIRs, presenting a significant gap in the literature. Using
a US sample from 1996 to 2019, covering 13,486 firm-year observations, we
document that CODIR reduces FFDR, supporting the hypothesis that co-opted
directors have a lower financial distress risk-taking propensity than their nonco-
opted counterparts. We also find that a critical mass of at least three
CODIRs and independent CODIRs reduces FFDR. Our results also document
that CEO power in the form of CEO duality and CEO tenure, external monitoring
in the form of the number of analysts following the firm, competition, and
takeover susceptibility do not drive our main conclusions for co-option and
FFDR. Finally, the results show that CODIR reduces FFDR through liquidity
channels. The findings remain robust to various definitions of co-option and
distress risk, and are consistent in both difference-in-differences analysis and propensity score matching.},

Structural equation modeling was employed as our analytical technique. The findings confirm that GHRM significantly mediates the effect of ETL on both economic and environmental performance. However, contrary to expectations, environmental knowledge does not moderate the ETL-GHRM relationship. In contrast, BDAC strengthens the influence of GHRM on economic and environmental performance. This study contributes to the leadership literature by identifying the underlying mechanism (how) and boundary conditions (when) through which ETL influences firms' performance outcomes.},

(i.e., SUM) and audit quality (i.e., audit fee), and they emerge mainly in unqualified audit reports. Additionally, we use
the GMM and PSM regression analysis to control endogeneity concerns, and the results are still consistent. Overall, our findings
suggest that BIG4 auditors assure the legitimacy and dependability of their auditees' non-financial
disclosures (CSR disclosure),
as evidenced by their stringent auditing practices. Finally, our study's key implications are that companies are prone to a lower
level of CSR decoupling when their external auditor is one of the BIG4 auditing firms. Our findings are particularly apparent to
scholars, regulatory agencies and corporate practices.},
