In the current study, the authors looked at how companies’ corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives affect their reputation in the community using the stakeholder theory. More specifically, it is claimed that CSR initiatives with a particular focus on employees help firms create employee trust, which is an essential component of organizational long-term sustainable performance. Administrative fairness as a boundary condition bolsters the relationship between corporate reputation and trust. A non-probability convenience sampling technique was used to poll Chinese restaurant managers and non-managers on a 5-point Likert scale. Structural equation modeling was used to conduct structural analyses. CSR is a significant predictor of business reputation in the Chinese restaurant industry. It has also been discovered that trust in the organization is a partial mediator between the two. Furthermore, the data show that organizational justice moderates trust in the organization and the company’s reputation. This research examines the relationship between internal stakeholders’ perceptions of CSR activities and the company’s reputation, i.e., employees, for the first time. The findings provide vital information for restaurant management to boost their reputation in the market by engaging in E-CSR activities to strengthen their internal stakeholders.

“…This refers to the strategic actions taken by organizations to gain competitive advantages in response to changes in the external environment (Magerakis & Habib, 2021; Porter, 1996).

Maniora (2018) finds that business strategy has an important impact on organizations' mismanagement of sustainability.…”

Innovation strategies for the promotion of solid waste recycling technologies include not only new technologies for resource utilization of solid waste but also sustainable business models to support the adoption of these technologies. This study presents how to incorporate the determinant factors affecting technology promotion and business strategy into a sustainable business model for the promotion of solid waste recycling technologies. A systematic literature review summarizes the determinant factors affecting the aforementioned promotion, including market-, policy-, company-, and technology-related factors. Combined with the theoretical background of the sustainable business model, this study analyzes that for the promotion of solid waste recycling technologies from value dimensions (value proposition, value creation & delivery, and value capture) and sustainability dimensions (economic, social, and environmental). We confirm the importance of incorporating determinant factors into the sustainable business model from the analysis of the Daye Non-Ferrous Metal Recycling Park. Our case study proposes that innovation of the sustainable business model needs to drive changes in business strategy. To promote the aforementioned technologies, we propose an Internet-based technology service platform as the core strategy of the sustainable business model. As the private sector, technology companies can make full use of technological innovation, public policies, and the market environment to achieve and develop sustained competitive advantages through an Internet-based platform and to effectively enhance the promotion of solid waste recycling technologies and help achieve sustainable development.

“…Defenders strategy, on the other hand, is less innovative in the product market and focuses on maintaining market share through efficiency, and has a lower R&D intensity. It tends to be more process-innovative to reduce costs or adapt the product to customers’ taste (Hambrick, 1983; Kong et al , 2022). The growth and better corporate performance of defenders minimize the need for obfuscation and encourage the production of more readable narrative disclosures that are easier to understand (Hussain et al , 2020).…”

PurposeThis study aims to mainly explore the impact of business strategy and annual reports readability on financial reporting quality in Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE).Design/methodology/approachThe sample comprised 160 companies listed in TSE from 2014 to 2020. Five proxies (including two accounting-based attributes and two market-based attributes) were used to measure financial reporting quality. In this study, cost leadership and differentiation strategies were considered and Fog index was used to measure the annual report readability.FindingsThe results showed that in all methods of calculating financial reporting quality, cost leadership strategy, differentiation strategy and annual report readability had a positive and significant impact on financial reporting quality. Also, only at the high level of the differentiation strategy, the annual reports readability influenced financial reporting quality. In addition, at all levels of high and low annual report readability, cost leadership strategy affected financial reporting quality, but only in companies with a high annual report readability, the differentiation strategy affected financial reporting quality. Only for companies with a low readability, the annual report readability affected financial reporting quality.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, no study had examined the impact of business strategy and annual report readability on financial reporting quality at the core of the present study. Furthermore, little was known about the strategic choices made in Iran. So, the research filled this gap in TSE. This study provided insights for policymakers to enhance the readability and reduce the complexity of annual reports.
