Climate change is a significant and urgent threat, gaining traction in the scientific community around globe requiring immediate action across many sectors. In this context, digital economy could provide mutually beneficial solution by utilizing innovation technical breakthroughs to establish sustainable future that addresses environmental deterioration, promotes economic growth, encourages energy conservation. Against background, study examined diffusion of modeling-based factors affecting small medium-sized firms’ (SMFs) adoption Internet Things (IoT) technology its impact on SMFs’ sustainability performance related environmental, economic, innovation, conservation perspectives. The key findings revealed (i) relative advantage, trialability, observability drive IoT adoption. However, compatibility complexity hinder (ii) When prioritizing factors, benefit strongest driver, most barrier (iii) adopter SMFs spent less natural resources more renewable monitoring systems than non-adopter firms, boosting their sustainability. (iv) firms had greater revenue, profits, credit access non-adopters lower input costs, improving (v) innovative products enterprises, demonstrating performance. (vi) Compared utility expenses energy-efficient technologies. (vii) To realize full potential for inventive future, authorities may pursue variety policy actions involving strengthening implementation standards regulations, securing incentivization financial SMFs, diverting allocation research development avenues, capacity awareness, focusing infrastructure development.

Abstract To accomplish the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), manufacturing industry faces significant hurdles, particularly in embracing green servitization and circular economy ideas confronting dearth of research on for sustainability. fill this lacuna, study examines role promoting practices (CEPs) sustainability Malaysian firms. A robust framework has been forged based natural resource‐based view (NRBV) theory. Data from a survey 251 firms (Malaysian Japanese) were collected analyzed using hybrid methodology that included structural equation modeling artificial neural network (SEM‐ANN). The findings SEM highlight positively promotes CEP sustainable performance. Furthermore, mediating between ANN results indicate is dominant predictor dimensions. Unlike prior theoretically assumes all relationships are linear, nascent successfully validated there exists nonlinear relationship NRBV framework. Based outcomes, contributions, practical implications, future avenues have discussed.

Purpose This study aims to explore the role of digital platforms in fostering service innovation (DSI) business-to-business (B2B) settings. More specifically, it delineates how firms orchestrate and govern multi-platform ecosystems pursue DSI, outlining key complementors their interdependencies. Design/methodology/approach Using 37 in-depth interviews with DSI decision-makers from leading transportation healthcare firms, investigates different types enable data-driven services. Findings The extends B2B platform classification beyond traditional open vs closed architecture transaction platforms, revealing five distinct platforms. These are manufacturer-led, provider-mediated, customer innovation, customer-moderated data brokerage explores actors-resources-activities constellations these for executing DSIs. It further elucidates actors play roles depending on ecosystem positions. Finally, underscores importance governance facilitating interoperability introduces concept customized technology adapters as tools integrating external supporting DSI. Originality/value Prior studies have predominantly concentrated examining objectives categorize types. Our investigation, which centers platform-based activities, identifies that revolve around idiosyncratic business models implemented by firms. Additionally, we distinguish emerging boundary resources employed integrate complementors, may a crucial ensuring subsequent developments.
