Sustainable Product Innovation Based on Triple Bottom Line
Sustainable product innovation is essential for the realisation of sustainability through sustainable consumption. From the managerial perspective, sustainable products and service development require interdisciplinary knowledge, and the measurement of the environmental and socio-economic performance are significant indications for decision-making, ecolabelling scheme, marketing, etc. Therefore, incorporating the sustainability know-how with the knowledge of life-cycle thinking and LCM, to facilitate co-creation with engineers and value chain actors to develop circular economy business models is necessary. Furthermore, utilising a sustainable product and service innovation framework, such as Sustainable Product Development and Service (SPDS) approach, can be the groundwork for integrating businesses’ sustainability efforts based on the product life cycle. With the integration of Omni-channel marketing methods, the communication of sustainability information of products and services can also improve the consumer experience and empower customers to become loyal brand advocators, creating a positive circularity toward sustainable business.

Probability of Visiting a Protected Natural Space
Following the definition of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), a protected area is a “clearly defined geographically space which is clearly defined, recognized and managed by legal means or other efficient means so as to achieve long-term nature conservation, the ecosystem services, and the associated cultural values”.  Protected areas are essentially governance systems with spatially defined areas with natural as well as cultural attributes and services managed by a group of players with different roles and institutional frameworks. These areas are organized in accordance with a variety of natural and spatial attributes that determine the conservation objectives, the protection categories, and the human activities permitted.

Robotic Process Automation in Beef Supply Chains
The beef supply chain is large and expanded and has a complex supply chain system which makes it challenging. Technological adoptions such as Robotic Process Automation allow beef supply chains to enhance their operational efficiency and speed up the production line to meet consumer demands. The beef industry has relied heavily on the human workforce in the past; however, RPA adoption allows automating tasks that are repetitive and strenuous in nature to enhance beef quality, safety and security. Successful RPA adoption allows managers, decision-makers and stakeholders to enjoy RPA's full potential and promising benefits which are social, strategic and economical. This enables beef supply chains to produce safer and high-quality beef with less processing time, energy and costs.

Entrepreneurial Conditions and Economic Growth
Scientific consensus agrees that entrepreneurial activity is related to economic growth. The impacts of entrepreneurial framework conditions on economic growth based on the level of economic development in transition-driven economies and innovation-driven economies are assessed. By applying the generalised method of moments (GMM) estimation, researchers found that R&D transfer has a negative impact on economic growth that is innovation-driven, but positively impacts transition-driven economies. The results further highlighted that regardless of the level of development of the country, business and professional infrastructure do not positively impact economic growth. However, taxes and bureaucracy and physical and service infrastructure were shown to positively impact only innovation-driven economies, as in transition-driven economies, they were shown to have negative impacts on economic growth.
