How do nature-inspired enterprises be accountable to the natural environment formed? Natural environment is one of the basic elements of the business. Firms should be sensitive to environment, so they should develop environmental transparency and accountability. This paper develops a framework to understand how environmental transparency and stakeholder governance create environmental accountability, following an “action cycle” informed by four accountability criteria—identifiability, awareness of monitoring, expectations of evaluation, and social pressure. The paper analyzes the environmental transparency practices of 50 companies listed in the annual Best Global Green Brands report, the Global RepTrak 100, and The Climate A-List of the CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project). The results show that exemplar firms improve the “what”, “how”, and “how much” factors in terms of environmental information to identify what will be disseminated to whom when the information follows the criteria of accountability, which allow stakeholders to effectively adopt a governance role. This paper provides a 2 × 2 matrix for firms and stakeholders to better understand how accountability leadership is driven by environmental transparency, stakeholder governance and accountability criteria. The practical implications of environmental transparency are highlighted, specifically in terms of strategies for building accountability to meet the growing expectations of transparency and accountability.

The use of mobile applications (apps) continues to grow. The literature on mobile apps is accumulating along with this growth, but the streams of research are still highly inconsistent and fragmented. A comprehensive and succinct review is needed that would help scholars and practitioners understand (a) the adoption of current mobile apps and (b) consumers’ motivations, attitudes and behavior towards mobile apps. This study aims to organize and classify literature on mobile apps in m-commerce and assess the state of the art in order to facilitate future research. Content categorization was conducted on studies of mobile apps published between 2009- 2018 in the business journals listed in the Journal Citation Reports. They were then analyzed in accordance with a systematic review approach involving interpretation-based assessment of the research methodology and key findings of these studies. Future research directions are also suggested for managerial and academic implications.
