"This book provides research on the understanding of ICT in the social enterprise field as it emerges as a major component of both business models and developed economy"--Provided by publisher

The need to ensure the growth of enterprise value in the context of strengthening intangible factors' role in its formation and maintaining sustainable development of society requires the introduction of new value-oriented management models, taking into account the interests of a wide range of stakeholders.The paper aimed to develop an approach to enterprise value management based on the stakeholder approach. Based on the presented conceptual vision of the enterprise as an SRPR system (stakeholders-resources-processes-results), a two-level system of SRPR value indicators for the main stakeholder groups has been developed, as well as an integral indicator of sustainable economic value added (EVA), which allows assessing the potential growth of enterprise value through a sustainable network of stakeholders. The possibility of using SRPR indicators in the process of planning activities has been substantiated: a model for maximizing EVA is formulated subject to a number of restrictions reflecting the standards of relationships with stakeholders, its transformation into a matrix of SRPR indicators.The results of approbation of the proposed approach by questioning processing and wholesale trade enterprises in the B2B segment are presented, confirming the compliance of the proposed system of indicators with the interests of stakeholders and implementation at Europroject Ukraine LLC, which proved its practical value.The need for further empirical studies of the dependence of EVA on changes in indicators of satisfaction of stakeholders' interests is emphasized.

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of nonfinancial sustainability reporting (NFSR) on enterprise value moderated by the management legitimate authority (MLA) for companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange.


Design/methodology/approach
To this aim, 190 firms were assessed during 2014–2019. This study used Arianpoor and Salehi's indicators. The scoring method for NFSR, environmental sustainability reporting (ESR), social sustainability reporting (SSR) and governance sustainability reporting (GSR) was based on Zimon et al. Also, the CEO pay slice index was used to calculate the management's legitimate authority. Tobin's Q was used as a standard measure for the firm value, providing a suitable means of comparison.


Findings
The results revealed that NFSR affects enterprise value positively. In addition, ESR and SSR positively affect the enterprise value. However, GSR did not affect the enterprise value. MLA affects the relationship between NFSR/ESR/SSR/GSR and enterprise value, resulting from the effect of MLA on firm-related information quality and transparency.


Practical implications
Linking NFSR and management's legitimate authority to firm value will enable managers to lead in helping firms enhance transparency and disclosure, improving their reporting standards and increasing the enterprise value. This, in turn, will ultimately result in better sustainability and governance practices.


Social implications
The results can help understand that analysts and investors somehow consider discussions related to the NFSR in decisions related to the company's value, and positive market reactions to these practices' disclosures can motivate firms to improve value and performance.


Originality/value
The majority of prior research in this field has focused on developing countries. An international perspective is critical, and this study helps draw a more contextualized picture of sustainability than before. In addition, the present research explored the management's legitimate authority role, which is considered an innovative aspect.

PurposeBased on resource-based theory and intellectual capital theory, this paper aims to investigate the impact of digital investment on enterprise value and the mediating role of intellectual capital. Additionally, it explores the heterogeneous impacts of digital investment on enterprise value and intellectual capital.Design/methodology/approachThe study utilizes a sample of listed companies in Chinese A-shares from 2013 to 2020. The entropy-weighted method is applied to measure digital investment from two dimensions: scale and increment. Finally, the research hypotheses are tested through multiple regression analysis.FindingsThe empirical results demonstrate that digital investment significantly and positively impacts enterprise value. From the channel mechanism test, digital investment can enhance enterprise value by influencing intellectual capital through human, structural and relational capital. Of these, the mediating effect of human capital is the most significant. Moreover, the impacts of digital investment on enterprise value and intellectual capital are related to the industry sectors. In the agricultural sector, digital investment has adverse effects. In the industrial and service sectors, digital investment promotes intellectual capital and enterprise value. However, in the service sector, the impact on relational capital is not significant, and the mediating effect of relational capital does not hold.Research limitations/implicationsThis research has a limited potential for generalization due to the lack of standard measurement models for the exploration of digital investment.Practical implicationsThe research findings are valuable for assessing the economic effects of digital investment comprehensively and providing essential information for policy formulation and strategy implementation.Originality/valueThis study represents the first attempt to evaluate the relationship between digital investment and enterprise value using the entropy-weighted method. In addition, this study investigates the mediating role of intellectual capital.

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the impact of open innovation (OI) in Chinese enterprises on enterprise value (EV). At the same time, this research explores the effects of OI in environmental, social and governance (ESG) and also reveals the intermediary role of ESG in the impact of OI on improving EV.Design/methodology/approachThis study builds a theoretical framework to define a set of hypotheses verified in empirical research. Based on the panel data of Chinese listed companies removing missing data from 2011 to 2020, a two-way fixed effect model is used to study the relationship between OI, ESG and EV.FindingsThe research shows that OI of enterprises has effectively improved their value. At the same time, OI can also improve the ESG of enterprises. That OI increases EV is partly by the mediating path of ESG.Originality/valueThis study determines the influence of OI on EV from a stakeholder and sustainable development perspective, clarifying the mediating pathway of ESG in the relationship. Doing so could inspire companies to improve their OI and desire to enhance competitiveness. It will also prompt enterprises to pay attention to social responsibility activities.

This article presents a case study that explores the creation of value by a social enterprise, Furniture Bank, for its stakeholders. The study is undertaken using the social return on investment framework. The case highlights insights and caveats that resulted from undertaking this type of analysis. This article calls for an integrated approach to social return on investment processes, incorporating both conventional accounting and social accounting.
