Understanding and predicting the relationship between big data analytics (BDA) and knowledge management (KM) and how they complement each other is still an ambiguous and strategically crucial issue. This study aims to investigate the interrelationships between BDA and KM in fostering green innovation practices (GIP) and organizational performance and, in addition, to explore the mediation effect of KM and how it can boost the impact of BDA on GIP. Based upon the underpinning theories that cover the study’s research model, several hypotheses were proposed and then examined. Using a cross-sectional research design, 174 questionnaires were collected from medium and large Algerian manufacturing firms. The study applied smart PLS-SEM for data analysis. The sorted results show that BDA positively impacts KM and GIP. The results also indicate that GIP positively influences and increases firm performance. In addition, the findings reveal that government support plays a significant part in leveling up firms’ GIP. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the critical impact of KM to polish the impact of BDA on GIP. This study highlights the necessity of improving the technological and managerial aspects of BDA by determining valuable capabilities, such as KM processes, to enhance organizational performance. Tracking business opportunities and predicting their relevant threats has become a severe concern to knowledge-extensive firms. Therefore, BDA can enable managers to absorb a large amount of data to increase the efficiency of a business decision to ensure survival and advancement. The study discusses both practical and theoretical implications.

Changes in tourists’ behavior in recent times have been considered a driving force for emphasizing the importance of unpopular tourism destinations as one of the key potentials in the tourism industry in any nation. On the road to reviving unpopular tourism destinations, this study aims to identify the potential tourism aspect and development of the Ngawen Temple in Indonesia. This research applies the placemaking approach as the main strategy for resurrecting Ngawen Temple. By using visitor surveys, visitor flows, and community surveys, this research obtains a clearer assessment for determining the planning development of Ngawen Temple. The research results revealed that unpopular destinations still have the potential to be developed and bring more benefits to the local economy by conducting a comprehensive placemaking approach. Accordingly, possible strategies based on various literature and field observations can provide clues to stakeholders on how to use their tourism assets to improve local communities’ economies. Some of the most frequently proposed strategies are the following: link the unpopular destination with other popular ones through structured tourism trips; design a “tourist trap,” which is a created place to hold tourists longer in a destination using new additional facilities; improve the infrastructure; and establish more creative tourism spaces, such as tourism centers.

The integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles with Financial Technology (Fintech) has emerged as a pivotal mechanism for advancing sustainable finance. This study investigates the interplay between ESG and Fintech through bibliometric and thematic content analysis to uncover key research trends, thematic clusters, and existing knowledge gaps in this dynamic field. The research problem focuses on how FinTech innovations can support ESG-driven initiatives such as corporate social responsibility (CSR), financial inclusion, and sustainable development while addressing challenges like performance metrics and governance issues. By mapping the research landscape, the study identifies significant contributions from scholars, notably in China and the USA, and explores prominent themes, including the role of Fintech in ESG disclosures, corporate governance, and sustainability. Emerging technologies like AI and blockchain are also highlighted for their impact on ESG reporting. The findings reveal exponential academic interest in this domain but underscore critical industrial challenges, such as the absence of standardized ESG metrics and the limited application of Fintech in addressing sustainability issues. The study concludes by offering future research directions aimed at bridging these gaps and emphasizing the transformative potential of Fintech in driving sustainability across the financial sector.

The research presents an analysis of the food security policy effectiveness on the component of food availability and access in two developing countries, Colombia and Kyrgyzstan, during the period from 2000 to 2018. Determining the state of their food balance trade and the regression analysis for the Food Production Index of the countries, considering four economic indicators. Thus the study attempts to show that policies and strategies have not reached the expected results in terms of reduction of food imports dependency and strengthening of national production and export industry. Furthermore was found that among the economic indicators considered, food inflation, food imports, food exports, and extreme monetary poverty; the last one was the indicator that presented influence on the Food Production Index of both countries, during the period analyzed, showing that access was the main component that defines the food production. The results highlighted the need of integrating food security with the monetary and trade policies of these countries.

Although NFTs (non-fungible tokens) and cryptocurrencies are active on the same market, their prices are not so closely related over time. The objective of this paper is to identify the relationship between the two types of assets (NFTs and the cryptocurrencies Ethereum, Crypto Coin, and Bitcoin), using data for the period between September 2020 until February 2022. The conclusions of the study are useful for cryptocurrency and NFT issuers, but also for investors on the financial market who are reconfiguring their portfolios with increasing frequency, and use these new assets for speculative or hedging purposes based on blockchain technology. The results highlighted relationships between NFTs and Ethereum, between Ethereum and Crypto Coin, and between Bitcoin and Ethereum, Ethereum being a bridge between all four. Therefore, NFTs present a relationship with Ethereum, the NFTs price had a causal effect on the price of Ethereum.
