The Mexican Ecological Conscience
The number of Mexicans who buy sustainable products has been increasing, which has led to sustainable trade. According to Vargas-Hernández and Cervantes-Guzmán (2019), “eco-conscious” consumers are a fast-growing niche in Mexico; moreover, there is also some research on green products in Mexican academia, such as the TNS Research Green Study (2010), which notes that almost 50% of Mexicans are more willing to buy green products, so further research on Mexican consumers and their sustainability intentions is needed.

A Strategic Information System Planning and Strategy-As-Practice Perspective
Strategic information system planning (SISP) is a central process that enables organizations to identify the strategic alignment of their IT portfolio to achieve their business needs and objectives. The extant SISP literature has focused on theoretical and processual aspects and has left methodological ambiguity about how SISP is practiced. Strategic information system planning (SISP) becomes central for any business when an organization faces an inflection point concerning its information system.

Recycling Model Selection for Electronic Products
Electronics are different from general durable products. With the rapid development of electronic technology, the replacement of electronic products is extremely fast. Although it can bring us an improvement in the quality of life, the frequency of elimination is higher than that of other products. If the discarded electronic products cannot be disposed of in time, it will bring serious pollution damage to the ecological environment.Electronic products are products with high recycling value, which have three attributes of fast replacement, environmental pollution and resource reuse. Therefore, in order to reduce the impact of waste electronics on the environment, it is very important to properly recycle waste electronics.The recycling of waste electronic products is a problem to be solved in practice and theory. The first and foremost problem to be solved for waste electronic products is the choice of recycling model for the manufacturer. There are two main types of manufacturer recycling, one is self-recycling by the manufacturer, the other is with the help of online platforms or third-party recycling. In addition to the choice of recycling model, the opaque recycling process, lax supervision and other problems easily affect consumers' trust in the recycling of waste products. Consumers returned used products, but not all of them reached the manufacturer, and the actual recycling of waste products was far less than the theoretical recycling. As a distributed accounting technology blockchain has the characteristics of visibility,tamper-proof, traceability, decentralization, and the high reliability of the system, which can verify transactions on peer-to-peer networks and achieve security, transparency, low transaction costs,and the automation of transactions. The trust of consumers by using the visibility and traceability features blockchain technology can be increased to enable the real and effective recycling of waste products.

Heterogeneity of Corporate Financialization and Total Factor Productivity
The most important stylized fact about the Chinese economy is the tendency toward financialization, which is referred to as a key feature of capital extension following the reversal of the real economy. Corporate financialization can be defined as a firm making substantial investments in financial assets. Some empirical research provides evidence that corporate financialization can stimulate the short-term performance of firms and reach higher production efficiency yields, while over-financialization may hinder economic growth by extracting additional profits from the economy into the financial sector, thereby reducing production efficiency. The capital misallocation causes poor allocation of resources, leading to a negative effect on aggregate total factor productivity (TFP).

Work-Life Balance, Job Performance and Knowledge Risks
Despite the focus on knowledge risks in the literature, a limited number of studies have empirically examined technological knowledge risks in terms of digitalization, old technologies, and cybercrime as moderating variables in the relationship between work-life balance and job performance. To address this gap, this entry investigated the moderation effects of technological knowledge risks on the relationship between work-life balance and job performance during the pandemic period in employees of cooperative credit banks. A quantitative approach that involved gathering surveys was adopted. Applying PLS-SEM, the empirical findings revealed that technological knowledge risks have a significant impact on the relationship between work-life balance and job performance. Additionally, this research encourages managers to create and maintain a healthy work environment that promotes valuable employees’ job performance while also evaluating the use of new technological advances and their related risks.
