And digital transformation has become a critical strategy for many businesses and their leadership. In today's fast-paced and ever-changing business environment, the cornerstone of organizational success is innovation. As the business environment is in perpetual modification and development, it requires businesses to be adaptive to both external and internal factors. The instability of the organizational environment increases the necessity and benefits of employee innovation. The authors analyze the extensive literature defining artificial intelligence, focusing on automation and specifically the role robotic process automation has in increasing organizational efficiency, reducing cost, and ensuring quality. In expanding on the scientific literature surrounding robotic process automation, the article analyses a case...
Geopolitical perspectives and technological challenges for sustainable growth in the 21st century

In this context, this article proposes a research on the importance of fair trade coffee for Romanian consumers and how its marketing helps producers in different parts of the world. The article is based on an exploratory methodology to identify entities (shops, cafes, etc.) and brands selling fair trade coffee in Romania. The results of the analysis show that, without the help of retailers, fair trade coffee goes unnoticed by Romanian buyers, due to its initially high price compared to other 'generic' types. In addition, Romanians are in the habit of obtaining information from other sources and paying little attention to labels. As a result, only a small proportion of Romanians are aware of the existence of the fair trade logo.

Organizational culture, which is unique in that it unites the efforts of all members and is based on human, emotional, and cultural values, is purposefully upheld by management of the business in order to achieve the organization's goals. The ability to produce, transfer, and utilize knowledge resources is essential to an organization's existence and success. Knowledge is an immeasurable asset and knowledge management techniques can promote innovative processes and achieve long-term company success by generating fresh ideas. Thus, knowledge management will accelerate the business's ability to maintain performance, particularly if it is carried out through digitalization and in a favorable organizational setting. This paper's premise is the recognition of significant works that investigate how organizational culture, knowledge management, and di...
Corporate Carbon Performance Study Across Nations: The Point of View of Global Investors
New Trends in Sustainable Business and Consumption

According to the Paris Agreement, listed companies from non-OECD countries produce average carbon dioxide cheaper than listed companies from OECD countries. However, the spread of corporate carbon dioxide emissions is lower in OECD countries compared to non-OECD countries, due to the increase in average national carbon dioxide emissions. Also, the spread of corporate carbon dioxide emissions at the country level in the post-Paris Agreement period is inversely correlated with foreign stock ownership. This result confirms our hypothesis that advanced foreign investors from rich countries have a significant positive effect on the efficiency of indigenous firms in developing countries in managing carbon emissions.While the sources checked for this paper may focus on different dependent variables at times, they all address the subject of whether a stricter and more enforceable...
