“…In line with the role of Stakeholder, Social, and Voluntariness, relationality is key behind social capital in Italy [70][71][72]. Moreover, relational capital also links to the concept of territorial capital along the milieux innovateur theory [73][74][75][76]. This also matters for CSR, because an element of the milieux innovateur is proximity based on social and moral shared behavioral models, trust etc.…”

Sustainable behavior should necessarily benefit both the environment and society. However, we cannot take for granted that socially responsible firms are also environmentally responsible—e.g., a firm might benefit its stakeholders while degrading the environment—and the reverse applies too—e.g., an environmentally responsible firm might disrespect its employees. Consequently, our purpose is checking whether social responsibility and green investments—proxying for a firm’s environmental responsibility—are complements, substitutes, or unrelated choices. Using a representative sample of Italian manufacturing firms, our econometric estimates uncover the empirical relationship between social responsibility and green investments at firm level. We find evidence of complementarity, since socially responsible firms: (i) Are systematically more likely to make green investments; (ii) identify green investments as a voluntary choice promoting business competitiveness much more than other firms. Finding complementarity between social and environmental responsibility has important implications. Policies favoring the transition to sustainable development should adopt a systemic approach considering the positive spillovers of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on environmental responsibility. Our evidence also suggests that firms indeed tend to behave in ways consistent with the holistic approach of the 2030 UN Agenda for sustainable development. Additional research should study how governance affects the CSR–environmental responsibility nexus.

Digital Transformation in Banking: A Managerial Perspective on Barriers to Change

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The digitalisation of banks is seen as the omnipresent challenge which the banking industry is currently facing. In this digital change process, banks are facing disruptive innovation that requires adaptation of almost all cooperative processes. Digital transformation in the financial industry is associated with obstacles that seem to hinder smooth implementation of digital approaches. This issue has not been adequately addressed in the current academic literature. The main purpose of this qualitative exploratory study is to identify the main perceived obstacles to digital transformation in both the private and commercial banking sectors from a managerial point of view and to analyse them accordingly. The methodology is based on a methodological approach using a combination of contextual interviews with German board members of banks, inductive content analysis, and the exploration of best-practice approaches. The findings revealed that elements of strategy and management, technology and regulation, customers, and employees receive a high level of attention within the digital transformation. The other main barriers can be found in the areas of market knowledge and products, employee and customer participation, and public benefit. Each main barrier is characterised by several sub-barriers of varying importance for the digital transformation of banks and is described in detail.

“…A consistent group of critical scholars criticized the social impacts (Benner, 2003), labor divisions (Fuchs, 2014) and economic accumulation driven by "the Silicon Valley myth" warning about ongoing attempts to clone the Californian model around the world (Duff, 2016). While technical studies are still questioning whether the Silicon Valley model could be replicated in other areas (Cook & Joseph, 2001;Etzkowitz, 2011;Fung, Aminian & Tung, 2018;Henton & Held, 2013), empirical researches have already demonstrated that it has been already tested in East Asia (Klingler-Vidra, 2016); other scholars have also investigated the possibility to replicate the Silicon Valley model also in Europe (Aydalot & Keeble, 2018).…”
