• - An assessment of green supply chain management practices implementation in textile industry in Uzbekistan.

  The integration of environmental aspects into organizations’ strategic and operational decisions is a reality that affects not only the organization which makes decisions but also its all stakeholders, whether these are customers or suppliers or the society at large. A critical issue that demonstrates the growing concern over sustainability issues is the convergence of supply chain and sustainability of the business and society, particularly when we see pandemic situations such as Covid-19. This project aims to answer “Does the adoption of GSCM practices result in a higher level of environmental performance, and improved performance of textile firms in emerging economies”?

• 2025 Digital Entrepreneurship: Foundations, Trends, and Future Directions

  Digital entrepreneurship (DE) merges digital technologies with entrepreneurial activities, fostering innovation, scalability, and competitive advantage. Despite its significance, the field remains fragmented with an inconsistent theoretical framework. Attempting to address this shortcoming, we conduct a bibliometric analysis of 1708 Scopus‐indexed articles. We employed performance analysis and science mapping to identify key contributors and thematic trends. Broadly, the findings reveal eight major research clusters, including AI‐driven decision‐making, sustainability in digital business models, digital ecosystem resilience, and globalization strategies. Applying the resource‐based view (RBV), we show that firms achieve sustained competitive advantage through digital resources. Through our findings, we contribute significantly to literature by integrating bibliometric methodologies with theoretical advancements …
