“…Therefore, a second research trend could be related to the linkage between entrepreneurial intensity and sustainability [144] and could analyze how technological advances play a crucial role in the relationship, of which the aim is to intensify the firm's capability to learn innovative entrepreneurial ways to guarantee responsible performance. Another research trend concerns the analysis of digital technology start-ups to comprehend the extent of their contribution to sustainable transformation [145] and to achieve SDGs. These start-ups tend to direct their attention to economic success, moving sustainable goals to the background.…”

Digitalization and sustainability is widely investigated; however, only few studies have analyzed the role of sustainable decision-making processes in the business strategy field for achieving sustainable development goals: The study proposes a structured literature review (SLR), analyzing 318 documents published in the period 2019–2023. The results of the SLR bring to light that the publications on the topic mainly regard seven research areas. Green supply chains, logistics and digital management is the principal one, followed by sustainable goals, green indicators, and digital advancement. Furthermore, the analysis marks future research lines: although this document offers an overview of the main studies in literature, the major limitation is the use of only one database and a time span of 5 years. This study could contribute to generate further research on sustainable decision-making processes, promoting a different organizational approach to value creation and sustainable performance.

PurposeThe massive expansion of digital platform has been responsible for the widespread progressive engagement created amongst learners and educators. The practice of requiring student feedback on online learning services ensures that teacher education continues to advance its strategic approach to online learning. This paper aims to examine the level of accessibility and adaptability of digital technology with particular focus on Malaysia, by elaborating the value of superior learning service and practical adaptability of online learning during the pandemic era.Design/methodology/approachThis study was conducted using qualitative approach of data collection, namely via structured interview. The listed respondents included 30 higher learners who participated in the study by providing feedback on the issues encountered during the research process.FindingsThe findings revealed that the strategic enhancement of digital accessibility continued with digital adaptability to sources of learning services would contribute to advancing achievement of digital learning pathway.Practical implicationsIncreasing accessibility to digital platforms in digital learning system can help to shape the digital environment. Digital expansion can create unlimited boundaries for online knowledge acquisition.Social implicationsThe social implication refers to acquiring the abilities developed through online engagement with peers by actualising and exploring information together with continuous inter-connectedness of sharing pathway in online platform. The instructor would need to give a proportional gateway to make learners experience the digital environment for future education.Originality/valueThis study aims to assess the value of developing accessibility of digital technology for students' online learning services during the pandemic and beyond. A well-structured plan would enable digital learning capabilities and mutual accessibility amongst learners. This can allow digital abilities to be transformed into collaborative teamwork amongst learners.

“…Higher productivity, which is caused by digitalization, increases consumption and the use of resources and energy [91]. Higher consumption is encouraged by the shorter life cycle of products, which has become shorter in the time of digitalization, despite expectations that technologies will improve the quality of products and extend their life cycle [31,92]. Digital technologies are too expensive for some entrepreneurs or they do not have enough knowledge to use them, which weakens their competitiveness in the long run [93,94].…”

“…We observe that the existing literature does not place adequate focus on the significance of digitalization in guiding companies towards achieving social and environmental aspects of sustainability. Research in this area can be divided into two groups: those addressing individual aspects of sustainability [31][32][33], and those addressing the impact of digitalization on sustainable business as a whole [34,35], with studies in both groups being relatively scarce. Our study will be the first to analyze the influences of selected factors on the pursuit of only environmental, only social, or both types of implications simultaneously.…”

This study examines the relationship between digital transformation and sustainable practices within enterprises against the backdrop of global transformative forces framed within the holistic paradigm of systems thinking. It examines the extent to which digital advances either facilitate or impede the sustainable development of companies, while also considering the systemic impact of demographic variables (such as gender, age, education), national income levels, and geographical regions on business sustainability. Using data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), which encompasses 26,790 entrepreneurs in 47 countries, this research uses multinomial regression to assess how these factors influence companies’ commitment to social and environmental goals. A key finding is that the strategic use of digital technologies in sales processes significantly increases the likelihood that entrepreneurs will integrate social and environmental considerations into their decision-making. Notably, this conscientious approach to business is most prevalent among entrepreneurs in Latin America and the Caribbean. Our findings underscore the central role of digital technologies in driving sustainable business transformation while also highlighting the significant influence of regional socio-environmental contexts on business sustainability orientations.
