    Corporate Social Responsibility: the institutionalization of ESG

    Understanding the impact of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on firm performance as it relates to industries reliant on technological innovation is a complex and perpetually evolving challenge. To thoroughly investigate this topic, this dissertation will adopt an economics-based structure to address three primary hypotheses. This structure allows for each hypothesis to essentially be a standalone empirical paper, unified by an overall analysis of the nature of impact that ESG has on firm performance. The first hypothesis explores the evolution of CSR to the modern quantified iteration of ESG has led to the institutionalization and standardization of the CSR concept. The second hypothesis fills gaps in existing literature testing the relationship between firm performance and ESG by finding that the relationship is significantly positive in long-term, strategic metrics (ROA and ROIC) and that there is no correlation in short-term metrics (ROE and ROS). Finally, the third hypothesis states that if a firm has a long-term strategic ESG plan, as proxied by the publication of CSR reports, then it is more resilience to damage from controversies. This is supported by the finding that pro-ESG firms consistently fared better than their counterparts in both financial and ESG performance, even in the event of a controversy. However, firms with consistent reporting are also held to a higher standard than their nonreporting peers, suggesting a higher risk and higher reward dynamic. These findings support the theory of good management, in that long-term strategic planning is both immediately economically beneficial and serves as a means of risk management and social impact mitigation. Overall, this contributes to the literature by fillings gaps in the nature of impact that ESG has on firm performance, particularly from a management perspective

    Sustainable eSiC reinforced composite materials – synthetization and characterization

    Get PDF
    Sustainable and light weight composite materials have received extensive attention in the application of aerospace, automotive, agriculture and marine. Synthetic SiC is expensive and harmful to the human being. Therefore, the aim of this study is to develop eSiC reinforced aluminium matrix sustainable composite material using waste rice husk with the process route of powder metallurgy. Simple and cost-effective pyrolysis process was used for the extraction of low�density eSiC from agricultural waste rice husk which contains a significant amount of silica. This silica was then converted in to environmentally friendly SiC (known as eSiC) material and used as a reinforcing agent to the lightweight composite development. From the results, these materials showed good metallurgical bonding with better mechanical properties. It is also observed that compared to metallic cast iron, this new composite material is better in terms of cost, material usage, eco-friendly (no harm to the environment and people), hence, sustainable. This concept demonstrates that this new sustainable and lightweight material can be used for aerospace, automotive and other structural applications, especially for disk brake, liner, and shaft. This eSiC can also be used as a coating material for composite coating development

    The determinants of cash waqf re-endow intention in Malaysia

    Get PDF
    Cash waqf has significant potential to improve Muslims' economies, particularly in financing social and cultural activities. Most governments today are experiencing financial difficulties, with inadequate means to cover public needs and ensure that all residents are in good standing. Thus, this paper discusses internal factors such as trust, familiarity, and perceived efficacy as possible factors influencing cash waqf endowers' intention to reendow. The population for this study is 13,940 cash waqf donors in the Klang Valley, which covers Selangor and Kuala Lumpur, and a purposive sampling method was used. Based on the finding gathered using PLS analysis on 382 respondents indicated that internal factors (trust, familiarity, perceived efficacy) positively influence intention to reendow among cash waqf endowers. Trust is the most dominant factor that influences the intention to reendow. It may indicate that the higher the trust level a person has, the higher the intention to reendow. These study suggestions are other variables influencing the intention to reendow and should be explored further. Moreover, this study offers management implications, such as empirically proven conclusions on internal factors (trust, familiarity, perceived efficacy) that influence endowers' intention to reendow to waqf organisations

    One of the strengths of the company lies in the quality of human resources. The way an organization treats and values its employees will have an impact on how strong and competitive the organization is in facing challenges and competition. The purpose of this research is to analyze the main elements that are generally carried out consistently by large companies that make employees feel at home and fully dedicate their abilities to the organization. This research includes library research, because the research was conducted to search, analyze, make interpretations and generalizations from the facts of the results of thoughts and ideas written by business psychology experts. This research is descriptive qualitative with a secondary data analysis approach. This study found that employees will give full dedication if the company pays attention to several factors including respecting employee needs, developing responsibility as an effort to retain employees, internal training and development, and the ability to retain employees. This research is expected to enrich business psychology literature and become a reference for organizations when managing HR. &nbsp

    Market capitalization shock effects on open innovation models in e-commerce: Golden cut q-rung orthopair fuzzy multicriteria decision-making analysis

    Get PDF
    This research paper analyzes revenue trends in e-commerce, a sector with an annual sales volume of more than 340 billion dollars. The article evaluates, despite a scarcity of data, the effects on e-commerce development of the ubiquitous lockdowns and restriction measures introduced by most countries during the pandemic period. The analysis covers monthly data from January 1996 to February 2021. The research paper analyzes relative changes in the original time series through the autocorrelation function. The objects of this analysis are Amazon and Alibaba, as they are benchmarks in the e-commerce industry. This paper tests the shock effect on the e-commerce companies Alibaba in China and Amazon in the USA, concluding that it is weaker for companies with small market capitalizations. As a result, the effect on estimated e-trade volume in the USA was approximately 35% in 2020. Another evaluation considers fuzzy decision-making methodology. For this purpose, balanced scorecard-based open financial innovation models for the e-commerce industry are weighted with multistepwise weight assessment ratio analysis based on q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets and the golden cut. Within this framework, a detailed analysis of competitors should be made. The paper proves that this situation positively affects the development of successful financial innovation models for the e-commerce industry. Therefore, it may be possible to attract greater attention from e-commerce companies for these financial innovation products.Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federatio
