Innovation Network, Digital Innovation and Frugal Innovation
The innovation performance of energy firms is predicted by innovation networks. Digital innovation acts as a mediator between innovation networks and innovation performance links and frugal innovation strengthens the interplay between innovation networks and innovation performance links. This highlights how energy firms can stabilize innovation performance through the combined influence of innovation networks, digital innovation and frugal innovation. The managers of energy firms should prefer innovation networks to update their knowledge about the upcoming/latest procedures to achieve innovation performance.

Information and Communication Technology and CO2 Emissions
The expansion of ICT has led to higher electricity consumption due to the increase in ICT terminal devices, networks, and large-scale data centers, resulting in an increase in power consumption. Data centers, in particular, contain IT hardware, such as computers and data storage devices; various types of network equipment for communication (routers, switches, modems, etc.); and heating and cooling infrastructure. The energy used by data centers is 10–100 times that compared to the amount used by commercial buildings in the same area. According to UNEP and DTU, the amount of electricity consumed by data centers in 2018 corresponded to 1% of the global electricity demand, but it is expected to account for more than 20% of the total electricity demand in 2030. If ICT electricity consumption increases at the current rate, it will have a negative impact on reducing CO2 emissions. In other words, the expansion of ICT equipment supply accompanies the demand for electricity in terms of use, which leads to an increase in CO2 emissions.

Globalization and Female Employment
Globalization can be viewed as a world integration leading to an exchange of ideas in different cultural, economic, political, technical, and social spheres across countries. Globalization’s impact on the receiving country’s economic and employment outcomes is an established phenomenon. However, globally only about 55 percent of women participate in the labor force compared to 80 percent for men. These gender disparities serve as an important focal point for research related to female employment, as it has a significant positive association with overall socio-economic outcomes.

Creative Accounting
The main function behind the conceptualization of creative accounting is maintaining the quality of financial reporting practice. Basically, creative accounting is the practice of influencing financial indicators through accounting knowledge without explicitly violating accounting policies, rules, and laws. Creative accounting is practiced to demonstrate the financial status desired by the company management wherein the stakeholders are informed what the management wants them to perceive. It facilitates the manipulation of financial information in its proper and accurate form in which the preparer uses the existing rules or in many cases ignores one or more rules.

The Internationalization of Emerging and Developed Countries’ SMEs
The topic focuses on the tension between SMEs’ growth and sustainability in emerging and developed Countries’ Internationalization: and presents a conceptual model of this process   Economic growth is a priority in many developing countries in the drive to eradicate inequality and poverty, but elevated levels of economic growth are regarded as inimical to climate preservation and sustainability. The continuing depletion of natural resources and industrial pollution has led to increasing global pressure and government policies aimed at reducing climate deterioration. Advocates of ’strong sustainability’ are concentrated in the economically developed world, while developing countries have a greater need for economic growth and advocate weaker forms of sustainability where economic development, the promotion of employment and eradication of poverty take precedence over climate preservation concerns. Extant internationalization literature does not provide an integrated model of sustainable internationalization. (i.e., the relative emphasis of human and natural capital in contextual and universal factors in the internationalization process of developing and developed countries).To address this underexplored research gap a cross-sectional, non-probabilistic convenience sample of South African SMEs using a mixed methods approach, and a secondary data eclectic analysis of developed and developing countries’ SME internationalization using a comparative multiple-case design, were adopted in this study.

Cryptocurrency
Cryptocurrency is gaining popularity worldwide, with some countries already starting to regulate and accept cryptocurrency in their financial services. Malaysia’s Securities Commission (SC) announced in October 2021 that over MYR 16 billion (USD 3.85 billion) involving digital assets and cryptocurrencies were traded between August 2020 and September 2021. Since cryptocurrencies are issued by private corporations and are technically beyond the federal government’s control, criminals may use them for illegal reasons such as money laundering and terrorist funding. Consequently, it is vital to examine why investors are engaged in cryptocurrency in the first place.
