Sustainable development performance in the semiconductor industry: A data-driven practical guide to strategic roadmapping

Sustainable development performance (SDP) in the semiconductor industry, it is necessary to form a data-driven practical guide to strategic roadmapping by using a sustainable balanced scorecard (SBSC) because SDP perspectives have been addressed for several years and need to be further assessed through performance achievement. Additionally, the industry faces challenges in integrating technological innovation and stakeholder collaboration into the sustainable development (SD) perspectives. In light of these challenges, this study strives to develop an SBSC-based practical guide to strategic roadmapping utilizing the SD causal model under uncertainty. To attain this objective, this study employed a hybrid approach comprising content, bibliographic and cluster analyses, the entropy weight method (EWM), and the fuzzy Delphi method (FDM) are used to validate the data-driven SBSC measures. The fuzzy synthetic evaluation–decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (FSE-DEMATEL) is used to develop the strategic roadmapping with interrelationships. The findings reveal that scientific and technological development, enhanced device performance, artificial intelligence, performance assessment and the Internet of Things are the main criteria that must be prioritized by decision makers for semiconductor SDP improvement. This study contributes to understanding the data-driven practical guide to strategic roadmapping for the semiconductor industry by using SDP data. Furthermore, by constructing a hierarchical framework and identifying prioritized key attributes that enhance SDP, this study makes a valuable contribution to the SD literature.

Corporate sustainable development performance through top management team's transactive memory system and organizational resilience: A moderated mediation analysis

Addressing the measurement of corporate sustainable development performance (SDP) in economic, social, and environmental dimensions is a pressing global challenge. This study investigates the intrinsic impact mechanisms of the top management team's transactive memory system (TMT TMS) on SDP within Chinese manufacturing firms. It extends the analysis by introducing opportunity alertness (OA) as a moderating variable and organizational resilience (OR) as a mediating variable. Notably, OA was found to have a moderating mediation effect on the TMT TMS-OR-SDP pathway. Data from 294 executives was collected through non-probability convenience sampling. Initially, exploratory factor analysis was conducted utilizing SPSS; confirmatory factor analysis was performed with the aid of AMOS. Additionally, hierarchical regression and the SPSS PROCESS macro were employed to test the hypothesized models and paths of influence. The results illuminate the positive impact of TMT TMS on SDP through the enhancement of OR, a relationship further strengthened by OA. This study adds to the theoretical understanding and offers practical insights for optimizing TMT TMS and OA to achieve corporate sustainable development.

Unleashing the power of green culture: Exploring the path to sustainable development performance in enterprises

AbstractHow does green culture unleash the power of informal institutions to promote the low‐carbon transformation of production methods and achieve sustainable economic development? Limited literature examines this from the perspective of corporate culture. This study employs a comprehensive evaluation method to effectively identify “green”‐oriented corporate culture and selects Chinese A‐share listed companies from 2011 to 2021 as the research sample to systematically investigate the impact of green culture on sustainable development performance (SDP) and its mechanisms. The research findings indicate that: (1) Green culture can enhance both financial performance and Environmental and Social Responsibility (E&S) performance of companies, thereby improving their SDP. (2) Mechanism analysis reveals that green culture effectively enhances SDP through the promotion of green transformation, including green technological transformation and green managerial transformation. (3) Heterogeneous analysis reveals that CEO's green experiences and higher social responsibility pressure act as boundary factors that strengthen the relationship between green culture and SDP. This study enriches the theoretical research scope of green culture and provides empirical insights and guidance for promoting sustainable development practices in companies.

Exploration on the Mechanism of the Impact of Green Supply Chain Management on Enterprise Sustainable Development Performance

Green supply chain management (GSCM) is an important management means for enterprises to achieve sustainable development and green transformation. However, the intrinsic mechanism by which GSCM impacts the sustainable development performance (SDP) of enterprises remains a theoretical “black box”. Based on the Porter’s hypothesis, this study constructs a moderated mediation model from the theoretical perspective of green innovation and signal transmission to explore this intrinsic mechanism. Then, this study analyzes data from China’s Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed companies from 2015 to 2020 to conduct an empirical analysis to test the model. The results show that GSCM has a significantly positive effect on SDP. The mediating effect of green innovation and the moderating effect of green subsidies are significant. The results remain valid after a series of endogeneity and robustness tests.
