Submissions are open for the new Special Issue guest-edited by Prof. Francesco Gangi, Prof. Eugenio D’Angelo and Dr Lucia Michela Daniele, entitled: “Close the Gap: Corporate Environmental Responsibility and the New Challenges for Companies in the Green Transition Era”
This Special Issue invites contributions investigating the drivers and effects of Corporate Environmental Responsibility (CER) within businesses. The global pandemic has renewed the relevance of Corporate Social Responsibility as a leading driver for the achievement of sustainable economies. Concurrently, environmental emergencies have attracted the attention of policymakers and academics. The extreme, negative environmental events that have recently occurred in several parts of the world are clearly signaling that the environmental issue has quickly transformed into a source of systemic risk (UN & PWC, 2021). According to the UN 2021 report, the pandemic and climate crises represent a significant threat to achieving the SDGs by 2030.

Seven Essentials for Business Success: Lessons from Legendary Professors (Routledge 2022)
George Siedel’s book enables teachers to understand and use the best practices developed by award-winning professors who teach the seven areas that are essential for business success: accounting, business law, finance, management, marketing, operations, and strategy.
These professors candidly discuss their successes and failures in the classroom, the mentors who inspired them, how they developed their teaching methods, and their rigorous preparation for class. Through descriptions of the professors in action, readers will gain an insider’s perspective on their teaching skills, and witness how they teach the seven essentials for success in a variety of settings―undergraduate, MBA, Executive MBA, and executive education courses. The chapters also describe the daily lives (professional and personal) of the professors, and the impact they have beyond the classroom in improving organizations and society.
The concluding chapter presents six themes that summarize the teaching process used by the seven legendary professors. The chapter also includes many examples of the authenticity that characterizes their integrity and identity.

Book Chapter
The COVID-19 pandemic and its related economic meltdown and social unrest severely challenged most countries, their societies, economies, organizations, and individual citizens. Focusing on both more and less successful country-specific initiatives to fight the pandemic and its multitude of related consequences, this article explores implications for leadership and effective action at the individual, organizational and societal levels. As international management scholars and consultants, the 18 contributors document actions taken and their wide-ranging consequences in a diverse set of 19 countries, including countries that have been more and less successful in fighting the pandemic, are geographically larger and smaller, are located in each region of the world, are economically advanced and economically-developing, and that chose unique strategies versus strategies more similar to those of their neighbors.

Paper Description:
A model with three second-order constructs is developed and tested, in a sample of 325 managers from manufacturing companies in Ecuador. After obtaining adjusted and validated measurement models, a structural equation model was conducted, where the main hypotheses were confirmed, providing empirical evidence that CSR and green innovation significantly influence manufacturing competitiveness in a developing economy.
This study considers only manufacturing companies in Ecuador, focusing on CSR practices in a single territorial case study. It arguably contributes to reinforce the business case for CSR, with new evidence on the causal relationships between CSR, green innovation and competitiveness, in the context of emerging market manufacturing industries. Although the literature often points at a positive relationship between CSR and firm-level competitiveness, supporting empirical evidence remains scarce. This model, introducing green innovation as mediator in the relationship between CSR and competitiveness in developing markets, accounts for a novel theoretical approach.
Practical implications – The findings are consistent with previous research, reporting the positive influence of CSR activities on organizational competitiveness, reducing risks and cost structures, as well as improving the relationship with employees, enhancing talent attraction, retention and productivity. Incorporating formal CSR tools to the model allowed us to highlight the relevance of ‘green’ certifications as a means to provide a competitive edge, along with increased bargaining power in the supply chain, resulting in competitiveness gains. The findings on the role of green innovation suggest a transition from cost-savings to a more strategic leverage on responsible innovation as a source of competitive advantage.

While COVID-19 has posed an unprecedented challenge to the international scientific community the UK academic community has also been impacted by potential opportunities and challenges associated with Britain’s exit from the European Union. Building upon an earlier survey evidence examining the impact of COVID-19 during the months following the first complete lockdown in the UK in March 2020 and a survey run prior to the identification of Omicron in November 2021 provides an opportunity to obtain up-to-date evidence on examined five critical issues facing the universities in the UK.
The work has important implications for the finding can inform university’s research (including internationalisation and dissemination), teaching and learning, and Working from Home policies on these hot button issues. The work should be of interest to university managers and policy makers from these domains and academic staff. Those interested in how these topics are impacting upon Higher Education.

Book description:
“Already dealing with disruptive market forces, the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) faced fundamental challenges resulting from the global health crisis, wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic. With catastrophic changes to cultural consumption, cultural organizations are dealing with short-, medium-, and long-term threats to livelihoods under lockdown.
This book aims at filling the literature gap about the consequences of one of the hardest crises – COVID-19 – severely impacting all the fields of the CCIs. With a focus on European countries and taking into account the evolving and unstable context caused by the pandemic still in progress, this book investigates the first reactions and actual strategies of CCIs’ actors, government bodies, and cultural institutions facing the COVID-19 crisis and the potential consequences of these emergency strategies for the future of the CCIs. Solutions adopted during the repeated lockdowns by CCIs’ actors could originate new forms of cultural consumption and/or new innovative market strategies. This book brings together a constellation of contributors to analyze the cultural sector as it seeks to emerge from this existential challenge”.

Special Issue on International Journal of Organizational Analysis entitled:
“Beyond Rationality in Organizations’ Choices: Exploring the Dark and the Bright Sides of Non-rational Decision-making”
Decision-making process of organizational agents is central in influencing processes and performance of organizations. In this vein, since the emergence of the disrupting concept of bounded rationality (Simon, 1947), scholarly interest moved towards understanding the deviations of the human mind from logical and rational choice paths (Cristofaro, 2017). This resulted in an enlarging of the spectrum of factors shaping decision making, leading future scholarship to unpack the ‘non-rational decision making’, i.e., influenced by conscious or unconscious forces that get cognition astray from being logically consistent (e.g., Ariely, 2008; Guo, 2009). However, despite the significant interest in better understanding the non-rational forces driving the decision-making processes of organizational agents, important areas still remain largely unexplored. As such, this Special Issue focuses on the investigation of the non-rational forces shaping decision making processes, such as dark personality traits (Spain et al., 2014), mental disorders (Wiklund et al., 2020), beliefs (Jackson and Artola, 1997), spirituality/religion (Loe et al., 2000; Fernando and Jackson, 2006; Phipps et al., 2012), superstition (Tsang, 2004ab; Hirshleifer et al., 2018), meaningful coincidences (Cristofaro, 2021), atmospheres (Julmi, 2017) – apart from the ones that received more interest, such as intuition (Dane and Pratt, 2007; Julmi, 2019; Loia and Adinolfi, 2021) and affective states (Bachkirov, 2015; Fodor et al., 2016; Cristofaro, 2019; 2020).
