The article is devoted to the concept of corporate venture, which is based on the key methodological basis that the sources of innovation are formed both within and outside companies in the format of external ventures. They are founded by one or more companies on a share basis and take the form of organizational, economic and institutional forms of complex integration and cooperation structures and research consortia formed between autonomous and independent economic entities. Thus, one of the examples is strategic venture alliances, as one of the main institutional forms of external corporate venture. Next, we consider joint ventures created with the participation of donors and recipients of venture capital by establishing new legal entities or registration of the venture fund's participation in the share capital of high-tech companies. The advanced dynamics of techno-globalization processes against the background of unprecedented complication of the international business environment and the intensification of inter-firm competition for the most technologically breakthrough innovative developments raise the issue of mergers and acquisitions. Another organizational form of implementing external corporate venture mechanisms is the participation of companies in innovation clusters. There is also a rapid dynamization of cooperation of corporate venture funds with leading universities, research institutes, centers and laboratories. Therefore, it should be noted that external corporate venture is actively developing today in the general course of objective laws, patterns and trends of the global venture industry, demonstrating the high risks of venture investment, the predominant focus of BNP on innovation cooperation. This provides not only a significant increase in the economic efficiency of corporate R&D and expansion of existing innovation opportunities and sectoral-sectoral "space" of corporate business, but also the formation of its global "cognitive framework" as a full understanding of the nature and vector orientation of global market and technology transformations.

In today’s globalized economy, the corporate company faces ever-increasing competitive and social pressures. This paper aims to identify the impacts of firms’ performance on corporate social responsibility practices using the mediating roles of corporate governance evidence from Ethiopia’s corporate business. The impacts of firms’ performance on CSR and corporate governance as a mediator variable were studied using a sample of TIRET corporate companies, in the Amhara region, Ethiopia. The structural equation model and multiple regression analysis were estimated and tested using 21 corporate companies. The derived model reveals how corporate governance mediates the favorable relationship between CSR and firm performance. The result indicates that a firm’s performance is the most significant influencing factor on CSR among the impacts examined in this study. Corporate governance has a positive role in serving as a legitimacy source for CSR practice. This study discusses the significance of results-based resource theory and presents the conclusion and implications. To solve the gaps in firm performance, return on asset, debts on capital structure, and governance, the corporate firms should identify unproductive enterprises and outsource non-core values. To overcome the existed inefficiency difficulties, this study proposed that corporate enterprises should be restructured, rebranded, reconsider their business models, and acquire technology-based firms. This paper contributes to CSR literature in the context of emerging economies. Firms, policymakers, and practitioners may take steps to improve CSR practice. In general, we conclude that in Ethiopia, including in the Amhara region, socially responsible corporate enterprises are more likely to be successful, and vice versa.

Virtual Worlds have emerged as important socio-technical artifacts with the potential to impact many important facets of contemporary society and to enable unique, novel business models in the digital economy. The authors present a rich account of the ways in which virtual worlds interact with modern society, their present heuristics, and future promise, with examples of successes and failures. The present and projected impact of virtual worlds on corporate business models, on the academic sphere, on cutting-edge healthcare, and on society in general are examined based upon existing literature, and legal issues arising from virtual worlds are summarized. This is done to develop a broad understanding of this emerging and serviceable new artifact, its numerous applications, and possible consequences. Based on this extensive review, the authors propose a research agenda for the information systems discipline vis-à-vis virtual worlds and identify critical issues connected with virtual world technologies and strategic management practices. The objective of this review is to establish a foundation for future research on virtual worlds.

The IT infrastructure of organizations must be agile and dynamic in order to respond quickly to the new business models and requirements. This has led to an increasing demand from individual organizations for corporate business services that can easily adapt to changes through business collaboration. Popular solutions for business collaboration development and management do not properly cater for the specification of new collaborations nor do they facilitate the management of existing ones. In this book chapter we present a rule based approach for collaboration development and management. The proposed approach allows organizations to capture the requirements for their business collaborations in an explicit, manageable and uniform manner in the form of rules. These rules can then be used to drive and constrain the development and management of needed business collaboration models. Practical feasibility of the approach is demonstrated in the context of a complex insurance claim scenario using prototype tooling.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a review of variance decomposition studies of firm performance and the theoretical foundations that served as the antecedents and promptings for this stream of research. Known collectively as “variance decomposition literature,” these studies use variance decomposition techniques to partition firm performance into various classes of effects in a bid to unveil the relative importance of factors responsible for firm performance variance. Design/methodology/approach A review of papers published in SCOPUS and institute for scientific information indexed journals was conducted. Findings The study found that firm, industry, corporate, business group and country effects are the major effects included in most extant studies. However, of all effects, firm effects remain the dominant and most important impact on firm performance. The effects that affect firm performance are also interdependent. Practical implications Consequently, the decisions of managers in firms are still the most important element in helping the firm to navigate industry and contextual factors, especially during periods of recession. Originality/value From the review, research gaps were identified and suggestions for future research provided. There is still much to learn from variance decomposition literature in an age of new business models, unprecedented start-up firms and from developing and emerging market countries.

The 2015 elections in Turkey disrupted corporate business models in the country. Conducting business in Turkey has unquestionably been impacted by political activity that has often erupted into cultural wars and civil demonstrations. This paper discusses the strategies corporations must undertake to secure a sustainable competitive advantage in Turkey. It researches and critically evaluates the business impact of the changing and often turbulent politics, as well as collects and analyzes economic data in order to propose a decision making platform allowing companies to make informed strategic decisions. Paralleling this research, the paper also investigates how supply chains into and out of Turkey have been severely disrupted as a result of political unrest. Supply chain disruption is increasing amongst trading nations as they (the supply chains) become more complex as a result of their global expansion. External, as well as internal data, are gathered and examined for this paper in order to recommend corporate action to be taken to minimize supply chain disruption. Protection of supply chains needs to also be a priority of government. Therefore, this paper suggests how involvement in supply chain management by a stable government in Turkey would help minimize disruption and make supply chains in the country much more productive and efficient.

Abstract This paper considers the information value of carbon-emissions disclosures for investors. Our argument is that Financial Institutions (FIs) do need to map the carbon-financial intensity of corporate activities so as to provide investors with higher returns on capital relative to the carbon emissions attached to this capital. Our analysis maps out carbon-financial risks in the S&P500 constituent companies that are domiciled in the US and capturing approximately 82% of the total U.S. equity market value. We examine the extent to which carbon-financial risk has already impacted on the allocation of capital (debt and equity) and market value exposure from carbon emissions in the S&P500. Our analysis of carbon generating and carbon dependent business models in the S&P 500 reveals a complex and interconnected physical-financial value chain. This new insight will force FIs to now become active investor’s rather than simply investing (or disinvesting) at a distance in order to secure a long-term decarbonisation of their portfolios. This papers also argues for new innovative disclosures such as company’s reporting their top 10 material carbon-stakeholder relations. This would help FIs understand a company’s business model in terms of carbon interdependency and inform regulatory and technical interventions thereby avoiding the possibility of a disruptive evacuation of capital from carbon-intensive business models.
