The impact of CEO's green experience on digital transformation

According to resource orchestration theory, key human capital can allocate resources to the critical paths of projects to maximize resource utilization efficiency. This study examines how the green experience acts as an important organization capital and affects a company's digital and green transformation processes. Based on the organization capital theory, we study the performance of China's A-share listed companies from 2013 to 2021. A CEO's green experience inhibits a company's digital transformation while promoting its green transformation. Based on organizational theory, our conclusion is consistent with signal and information asymmetry theories. Executives with green experience have a better understanding of ways to improve the credibility of the public's green environmental practices. This agency cost often has a negative impact on the financial performance of enterprises, which is not conducive to their digital transformation. Companies should carefully recruit executives with green experiences, based on future digital or sustainable development strategies, to maximize the organization capital.

Pedagogical approaches to health-related physical education (PE) in the context of digitalisation – a scoping review

ABSTRACT Introduction There are varied consequences of digital transformation processes within the fitness and health-related living environments of adolescents (e.g. increased physical activity through wearables, body dissatisfaction through social media) which could potentially provide fruitful health-related learning experiences within different pedagogical approaches to health in PE (e.g. biomedical vs. alternative, Mong and Standal, 2019, “Didactics of Health in Physical Education – a Review of Literature.” Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy 24 (5): 506–518. https://doi.org/10.1080/17408989.2019.1631270). However, concerns have been raised that the integration of digital media into health-related PE could reinforce biomedical approaches to health and lead, for example, to a focus on increasing fitness through technology. This one-sided focus would not be in line with the demands for a comprehensive health education. This paper aims to map the current trend of pedagogical approaches to health-related PE in the context of digitalisation and to identify typical learning goals against this background. Methods We conducted a scoping review based on the framework of Tricco et al. (2018, “PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews: Checklist and Explanation.” Annals of Internal Medicine 169 (7): 467–473. https://doi.org/10.7326/M18-0850). We searched nine databases using a search term covering three topic areas: digitalisation, health, and physical education. Considering the publication years from 2013 to 2023, we selected papers in a three-step process (title-, abstract-, and full-text-screening). In total, we included 103 empirical and theoretical papers in the analysis using qualitative content analysis (Kuckartz, 2019, “Qualitative Text Analysis: A Systematic Approach.” In Compendium for Early Career Researchers in Mathematics Education, edited by G. Kaiser and N. Presmeg, 181–197. Cham: Springer). To map the pedagogical approach to health, we applied the following main deductive categories: conceptualisation of health, paradigmatic approach to health and envisaged learning goals. To analyse learning goals with regard to digitalisation, we used the distinction between learning with and about digital media as a focus of analysis. Results The scoping review shows that most of the papers discussed a broad conceptualisation of health for PE by addressing biopsychosocial aspects of health. Many of the implications for health- and digitalisation-associated learning goals related to pre-reflective and functional-reflective learning goals in the area of learning with digital media. They mainly focused, from a pathogenic viewpoint, on how digital media can increase health-enhancing physical activity, affective determinants of health behaviour and health-related knowledge. Parts of these learning goals have already been empirically investigated. Only a few papers proposed critical-reflective learning goals in the area of learning about digital media, aiming at a socio-emancipatory engagement with digital media, health and society. No empirical study within the scoping review investigated the effectiveness of such critical health- and digitalisation-related PE. Discussion and conclusion In light of the results, it is important that future genuine pedagogical research about health- and digitalisation-related PE increasingly focuses on the development and empirical evaluation of theoretically sound concepts for PE that are in line with the educational demands of comprehensive – thus also critical and salutogenic – health and digital education.

Speculative foresight: A foray beyond digital transformation

AbstractAs the discourse regarding digital transformation has developed, we see an opportunity to extend the concept of becoming digital into an as‐of‐yet unrealized future. By examining the foundational assumptions of digital transformation, we reveal two frontiers that expand the current transformation discourse into futures where their implications and outcomes will reside. A conceptual frontier suggests that we begin to conceptualise the worlds in which future organisations and people observe digital technologies and their enactments as an unexceptional and quite mundane aspect of their daily lives. We initiate conceptualising being digital as an outcome of the transformations our current research studies. A second analytic frontier embraces world‐making in current theorizations and the development of future‐leaning conceptualization of alternative worlds. Speculative foresight is an approach for staging new concepts and relationships, critiquing current research practice and theory boundaries, and creating novel and generative theorizations. An example speculative foresight scenario illustrates onto‐epistemic assumptions and ambiguities in current theories of digital transformation regarding how future ethics will be conceived. The implications and limitations of this approach are discussed in the context of the need for IS research to develop orientations that can contribute to understanding digital transformation processes and both positive and negative transformation outcomes that will constitute yet unrealized futures.

Digitising Interpretation: Transforming Tafsir Al-Mishbah in the Context of the Living Quran

This research aims to explore the relationship between digitizing interpretation, texts, messages, and societal practices through the transformation, reception, and deconstruction of Tafsir Al-Mishbah. The issue of digitizing interpretation is often viewed solely through the lens of technological transition and historical narrative, overlooking its societal implications. This study seeks to delve into the interplay among these elements by examining the digitization process, features of the digital application, and societal reception of Tafsir Al-Mishbah. It outlines three problem formulations: the digitalization process, features in the digital application, and reception within the digitization phenomenon. To address these formulations, a qualitative netnographic research method was employed. Data were collected through observation and documentation, primarily from video recordings on the Quraish Shihab YouTube channel, which provides insights into the digitization process and various versions of Tafsir Al-Mishbah. The research concludes that digitalization serves as a means to transform Tafsir Al-Mishbah, enabling independent Qur’an study while maintaining ties with authoritative figures. It bridges innovations with limitations present in printed editions, catering to the public's needs. Furthermore, the digitization of Tafsir Al-Mishbah is closely tied to Quraish Shihab's interpretation of divine promises, as referenced in QS. al-Qamar [54]: 17, 22, 32, and 40. This study highlights the often-overlooked aspects of digitalization, showcasing its relationship with innovation, ideology, and public reception. It underscores that the transformation of religious texts, including the Qur’an and Tafsir, contributes to the discourse on the living Qur’an and living Tafsir.

Systematic evaluation of integration between China's digital economy and sports industry: Two-stage grey relational analysis and vector autoregressive model.

The development of the digital economy constitutes a key component of China's endeavors to advance towards "Digital China." The sports industry functions as a new catalyst for high-quality economic growth. This study systematically evaluated the integration between these two sectors. First, we conducted two levels of grey relational analysis to assess their integration between 2016 and 2021. Second, we conducted a VAR analysis to determine whether their integration between 2009 and 2021 represents a causal relationship. At the macro level, the grey relational analysis reveals that the sports industry (grade = 0.770) ranked second among China's eight key economic sectors in terms of digital economy integration. At the meso level, a wide variation (ranging from 0.606 to 0.789) existed in the grade of integration between the digital economy and the sub-sectors of the sports industry. According to the VAR model, the digital economy does not Granger cause (p = 0.344) the growth of the sports industry. This study yielded two added values to the existing literature: First, there exists a sectoral imbalance in the digitization process; second, the explosive growth of the sports industry was not primarily caused by the digital economy. Accordingly, the "sports + digital" complex is still in the first wave of technological integration. We propose three policy recommendations, namely, sectoral synergistic development, overtaking via esports IP, and new economy and new regulation. Collectively, these findings provide updated insights for the digital transformation towards "building a leading sports nation" and "Digital China."

SIMULATION INTELLECTUAL SIGN #Aniespresiden2024 IN SOCIAL MEDIA BIGDATA ANALYSIS

Talking about 2024 is of course talking about the political year in Indonesia. 2024 is the year when legislative candidates and of course presidential and vice presidential candidates will begin to fight. Currently, one of the presidential candidates from the party that is the current government party is Anies Baswedan. Based on what has been regulated in political ethics and election ethics, it is certainly not allowed to campaign by presidential candidates before the campaign period is carried out, but what happened was the emergence of social media content from Anies Baswedan containing campaigns with disguised signs and also camouflaged content so that what the public eye sees presented in cyberspace is only the content of his daily activities. This study aims to determine how Anies Baswedan’s political branding simulation in preparation for the 2024 Presidential Election. This research uses simulation analysis on Jean Baudrillarde’s theory based on big data analysis on Tiktok social media through content related to Anies’ candidacy as a 2024 Presidential candidate. The focus of the research is the arrangement and meaning of #aniesPresiden2024 signs and messages on mainstream social media received by the digital community and then forming a simulation of Anies Baswedan’s political branding which is the result of the digital communication process towards Anies’ political representation as a 2024 presidential candidate. The results of this study found that tiktok social media has a huge influence on the political branding of anies baswedan, digital society widely receives and consumes information related to the intellectual sign of anies baswedan.

THE IMPACT MODEL OF INTEREST RATE LIBERALIZATION REFORM ON THE PROFITABILITY OF STATE-OWNED COMMERCIAL BANKS: A CASE STUDY OF BANK C OF CHINA

This paper explores the definition and development of interest rate marketization in China and its impact on the profitability of state-owned commercial banks. The reform, characterized by the People's Bank of China's gradual easing of interest rate controls and expansion of the benchmark interest rate's floating range, enhanced financial market flexibility and efficiency but challenged traditional banking profit models based on interest margins. Through qualitative case studies and thematic analysis of the Bank C (China), the study finds that Bank C effectively mitigated these challenges by optimizing asset-liability management, adjusting asset and liability structures, and employing proactive risk management. These measures improved its investment returns and profitability. Additionally, Bank C’s adoption of countercyclical strategies and advancements in digital transformation and process automation helped sustain its profit model. The research concludes that Bank C's strategic adjustments enhanced its profitability and competitive edge, offering insights for other banks in similar market conditions and aiding predictions of financial market trends.

Culturally Informed Technology: Assessing Its Importance in the Transition to Smart Sustainable Cities

Since the idea of the smart city was first introduced, over two decades ago, there has been an increasing focus on sustainability as a core strategic priority. However, as the relevance, importance and even definition of sustainability is a function of cultural context, planners must take account of local and regional cultural factors in the selection and adaption of digital infrastructures, as well as in the management and encouragement of public acceptance. Achieving this is not a sequential process, but a concurrent one, as these factors are interdependent. This raises the question of what factors affect and mediate the technology, choice, and public acceptance of smart sustainable cities. This paper attempts to address this question by proposing a new model which advances our current, and considerable, understanding of Technology Acceptance Modelling—using an analysis based on Structural Equation Modelling. This new model, called the Culturally Informed Technology Acceptance Model, was validated using data from a survey of residents of a variety of Saudi Arabian cities. The proposed model is designed around important factors that can be influenced by cultural context, such as digital literacy, process improvements, cost savings and privacy, and is a useful tool for understanding the role of culture in the public acceptance of smart sustainable technology. This design focus is for a number of reasons, such as helping development bodies ensure that the technologies used align with the socio-cultural context. It will also help in the management of at-scale technology roll out in a way that is resource-efficient. Although the Culturally Informed Technology Acceptance Model has been developed and validated using data from Saudi Arabia, the authors believe that it could be adapted to meet the needs of countries/cities that are looking to implement smart city strategies matched to their own distinct socio-cultural identity.

Analysis of the Progress and Optimization Path of Digitization of Corporate Policy Services in China

With the rapid development of information technology, the digital transformation of China's corporate policy services has become a key factor in driving corporate innovation and economic growth. Studies have pointed out that digitized policy services have effectively improved policy transparency and the ease of access to policy information for enterprises, while also providing them with a more efficient and precise way to file policy declarations. However, challenges such as information silos, data security and privacy protection still exist in the digitization process. The article further discusses the optimization path and suggests measures such as strengthening cross-departmental data sharing, improving laws and regulations, and enhancing enterprises' digital literacy in order to promote the healthy development of policy service digitization. This study provides valuable references for government departments and enterprises, and is of great significance in promoting the digital transformation of corporate policy services in China.

E-motions and participation in technopopulist movement-parties. Enthusiasm and technopolitical disillusion

Social movements (SMs) protesting against the consequences of the austerity produced by the 2008 great recession leveraged collective participation as a paradigmatic way of revamping democratic institutions and processes. In southern Europe, participation was harnessed by technopolitical movement-parties (MPs) such as the Five Star Movement (M5S) in Italy and Podemos in Spain. These are political forces combining SM characteristics with a technopolitical narrative to induce ‘e-motions’: emotional arousal of the membership produced by idealising the potential of digital technologies to enact unprecedented popular participation to renew democracy. Combining technocracy (popular competence via technopolitics) with populism (people vs elite rhetoric) the M5S and Podemos built a technopopulist discourse able to generate emotional engagement of the membership and high expectations for collective participation. However, the centralism of the leadership and its control over technopolitics produced an individualised model of engagement which led to disillusion. The article firstly elaborates a narrative literature review on participation, technopolitics, movement-parties, populism, and emotions to frame the affective relationship between participation and technopopulism. Secondly it uses qualitative methods to scrutinise the constituent process of M5S and Podemos technopolitics – when the digital process and infrastructures were created within both MPs – outlining the emotions elicited by technopolitical technopopulism.

Rapid Prototyping and Hardware-In-the-Loop Verification of Enhanced Sliding Mode Control of an Asynchronous Machine Using a Xilinx System Generator and an FPGA-Zynq Board

This article describes rapid prototyping using the Xilinx system generator (XSG) of a direct field oriented control (DFOC) strategy based on improved super twisting sliding mode controllers (ISTSMCs) of an asynchronous machine to succeed a hardware implementation on a field programmable gate array (FPGA) board. The main goal is to enhance regulation loops governing rotor speed, rotor flux, and stator current components within the classical DFOC structure. These ISTSMCs replace integral proportional controllers, resulting in improved system dynamics, faster speed and torque responses, and heightened robustness against load and rotor resistance variations, surpassing other control methods. Additionally, the article aims to implement this DFOC-ISTSMC method on an FPGA board to reduce control system sampling time and loop delays, leveraging the FPGA’s parallel processing capabilities. The hardware architecture is designed using XSG in the MATLAB/Simulink environment, enabling effective simulation, testing, discrete algorithm creation, and VHDL code generation for FPGA implementation via the hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) process. Assessment involves digital simulation studies and HIL processes using XSG with a Xilinx FPGA Zynq 7000 under MATLAB/Simulink, demonstrating improved system performance, reduced time delays, and efficient FPGA utilization. This approach validates the effectiveness of the proposed DFOC-ISTSMC algorithm in enhancing control strategy for asynchronous machines.
