Green Innovation and Industry and Talent
With increasing pressure on industry resulting from the need for ecological and environmental protection and sustainable development, green innovation development has gradually become a central issue of concern.

Africa’s Agricultural Total Factor Productivity for Food Security
Population growth, food shortages, and low levels of human development have been longstanding issues confronting many African countries. Agricultural productivity remains a critical goal for mitigating these challenges and ensuring overall economic development. Total factor productivity (TFP) is a crucial metric for determining a sector’s overall growth. However, due to a lack of comprehensive assessments of the trends and determinants of TFP growth in African agriculture, there are disagreements. Within the context of inclusive human development, the impact of agricultural productivity is frequently misrepresented in the current literature.

Factors Affecting Success of Entrepreneurship in Agribusinesses
Entrepreneurship and innovation are the fuel of economic growth. Understanding the motivational factors that lead to the success of entrepreneurs in agribusiness can be useful in affecting the degree of successful investment that accelerates development and economic growth in the agriculture sector. Entrepreneurship experience, risk-taking behavior, interest rates, and initial capital have a significant impact on the probability of entrepreneurship success and entrepreneur’s profits. Policies that could improve the skills of entrepreneurs, provision of initial capital requirements, and financial market efficiency had an effective role in increasing entrepreneurship and innovation in the agribusiness sector. Entrepreneurs in the field of agriculture could consider these factors to have better choices while entering or continuing with their agribusinesses.

Link of Environmental, Social, Governance and Firm Performance
ESG performance has a positive relationship with profit in large firms but not in SME firms. Large firms are motivated by stakeholder and other needs, while SME firms do not have the same priorities. Similarly, small and nascent firms may not have the resources of large firms, suggesting that competitive factors related to downstream networking will markedly differ for both groups of firms.

Knowledge Management for Fourth Industrial Revolution
The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) offers optimum productivity and efficiency via automation, expert systems, and artificial intelligence. The Fourth Industrial Revolution deploys smart sensors, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), Internet of Things (IoT), Internet of Services (IoS), big data and analytics, Augmented Reality (AR), autonomous robots, additive manufacturing (3D Printing), and cloud computing for optimization purposes. Knowledge management (KM) is the process of acquiring, constructing, managing, and disseminating knowledge throughout an organization in order to improve project efficiency and effectiveness. In times of crisis, knowledge management has been shown to be a critical tool in healthcare, allowing people all over the world to cope with and manage massive amounts of data in the event of a pandemic.

Digital Transformation in International Markets and International Omnichannel
The growth of digital technologies, whose core is data management (e.g., big data, internet of things, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, augmented reality, blockchain, etc.), are transforming both societies and organizations. Digitalization assists in determining accurate agro-chemistry and weather conditions, automated quality control of agricultural products, and robotic devices with sensors and radio frequency identifiers in animal husbandry. Agriculture and food production is becoming more innovative with the implementation of new infrastructure, IT platforms, or biotechnologies, like gene editing or synthetic food production. The use of digital technologies allows for monitoring the growth of crops, a decision-making system for irrigation, and the choice of fertilizers. Digitalization has also enabled agricultural firms to gain access to markets abroad and overseas through online marketing platforms and international payments systems. Internationalization has indeed become a crucial condition for both the success and survival of most agri-food firms, that need to enter international markets, helped by the technological advances.

Anti-Corruption Disclosure and Political Corporate Social Responsibility
Corruption is a major concern globally, particularly in developing countries, such as Bangladesh, where it is the main obstacle to economic development. Corruption is also mentioned as the major impediment to accomplishing sustainable development. Corruption is the main impediment to economic development in Bangladesh. The country’s financial sector is under threat due to issues such as illegal money transfers, money laundering, and terrorist financing. The Paradise Papers and The Panama Papers scandals have found many Bangladeshi business people and politicians involved in offshore businesses globally. The recent misappropriation of the financial sector, financial heist of the Central Bank (BB), liquidity crises, share market scandal, and political intervention on banks have left the financial sector in turmoil. Companies provide more Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) expenditure in order to signal to stakeholders about their motivation and determination to social responsibility in relation to enhancing transparency and accountability. Working in a high or low corruption environment, CSR expenditure has significant value because the expenditure increases visibility to the market, improving reputation.
