This paper introduces a tool for new service development in the context of emerging economies. For this aim, two-stage decision making model is applied for measuring the new service development-enhanced sustainable growth of emerging economies. At the first stage, bipolar q-ROF M-SWARA with golden cut is used for weighting the new service development process. At the second stage, bipolar q-ROF ELECTRE with golden cut is employed for illustrating the impact-relation map of sustainable growth determinants with respect to the new service development process for emerging economies. The novelties of this study are to construct a novel decision-making approach by using the bipolar q-ROFSs and golden cut and to figure out the influencing degrees and directions of sustainable growth determinants for emerging economies. It is also determined that testing has the highest significance while creating a new service for sustainable growth. Ranking results also demonstrate that qualified organizational teams and equipment is the most critical factor regarding innovative service process-based sustainable growth. It is necessary to adapt current technological developments to new products to be developed for sustainable growth. In this context, technological advances for these products should be followed carefully. In this process, it would be appropriate for companies to reach this goal by employing qualified personnel.

An optimal growth pattern requires pro-growth optimal institutions and culture. In an optimal growth pattern, entrepreneurship and innovation are facilitated. In contrast, in case of distortions in the development of institutions and culture and distortions in their coevolution, a permanent growth stagnation prototype can appear, with distorted creative destruction process causing weak entrepreneurship and innovation activity. At a policy concern, attention should be redirected to the planning and implementation of pro-growth structural changes with reference to institutions and culture that would take into account their coevolution process. Otherwise, we must rely on the importation of growth (i.e., inwards capital flows or incoming innovation), forming a pro-growth but exogenous prototype that could promote growth, entrepreneurship and innovation

This study undertakes a comprehensive multi-country analysis to investigate the intricate relationships among climate change, cultural dynamics, and sustainable development. Leveraging a robust, unbalanced panel dataset that encompasses one hundred and eight countries or regions over nearly four decades (1981–2019), this study employs fixed-effects estimation techniques to mitigate the impact of time-invariant heterogeneity across observational units. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is also employed as an advanced analytical tool to explore complex causal pathways and latent variables. Conducted in Stata, this multifaceted approach allows us to delve into the causal interconnections between climate change indicators, various cultural attributes, and indices of sustainable development. The findings reveal a negative influence of climate change on cultural background formation, which in turn impacts sustainable development. On the other hand, it is found that cultural background contributes positively to sustainable development. This suggests integrating cultural considerations into climate change adaptation, mitigation strategies, and sustainable development interventions. These strategies account for diverse societal values and behaviors, facilitating more effective climate change mitigation and adaptation. This study contributes to the growing research on the interplay between climate change and sustainable development by emphasizing a culturally informed policy framework. Its findings stand to inform national and international policymaking and enrich the discourse surrounding the creative economy’s role in promoting sustainable development in the face of climate change.
