Summary: Sustainable entrepreneurship, which combines traditional entrepreneurship with triple-bottom-line principles, has gained institutional support and is a new approach to drive positive change and increase resilience in the economy. This study explores how SMEs and start-ups can adopt long-term sustainability, innovation, and digitalization strategies. The findings show that most entrepreneurs are not interested in a pro-growth agenda, limiting the impact of pro-entrepreneurship and pro-innovation discourse. Additionally, the age of firms affects sustainability dynamics but not innovation and digitalization dynamics.

Summary: This study examines the relationships between organizational learning capabilities, open innovation, and firm performance in SMEs in emerging economies. Data from 384 manufacturing SMEs in the UAE were analyzed, and the results show that organizational learning capabilities positively influence both inbound and outbound open innovation. Inbound open innovation has a positive impact on market effectiveness and profitability, while outbound open innovation only affects profitability. The study also confirms the mediating role of inbound open innovation on the relationships of organizational learning capabilities with market effectiveness and profitability, but outbound open innovation does not mediate these relationships.

Summary: The availability and selection of energy sources have significant implications for economic and environmental sustainability, as the cost of environmental protection is directly linked to overall energy utilization. Regardless of the economic structure, the importance of clean energy has been recognized in the literature. This study aims to explore the impact of financial deepening, urbanization, and institutional quality on China's energy consumption. By using annual time series data from 1985 to 2019, the study analyzes the coefficients of explanatory variables through linear and nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lagged (ARDL) models and Fourier-TY causality tests. The findings show long-term associations between the variables and reveal both symmetric and asymmetric relationships. The study finds a statistically significant and positive impact of financial deepening, urbanization, and governmental effectiveness on renewable energy consumption, while fossil energy consumption is negatively influenced. The asymmetric coefficients of the variables are also statistically significant, indicating a non-symmetrical relationship. Directional causality is confirmed, suggesting that explanatory factors affect the usage of renewable energy. The research findings provide policy recommendations for the future.
