This study examined how BPO employees’ sociodemographic characteristics relate to their perceptions of organizational cybersecurity threats and their use of technologybased readiness measures. It also includes how those measures are associated with incident frequency in the sector. Gathering information on respondents’ education, employment status, monthly income, years of experience, and service category, along with their perceptions of the prevalence of phishing, malware, and unauthorized access and their reported use of MFA, firewalls/IDS, and VPNs. The study explored relationships among demographics, risk perception, technical readiness, and reported incidents. The analysis finishes with a focused cybersecurity mitigation action plan that prioritizes the identified critical issues, objectives, strategies/interventions, responsible unit, schedule, and anticipated outcomes....
In the context of digitalisation, the adoption of Industry 4.0, and the intensification of ESG requirements, the textile industry is confronted with the necessity of structural transformation. The functional gap between design, production, and the market, which reduces the efficiency of value creation chains, remains a systemic problem of the sector. This study aims to analyse the mechanisms of textile business transformation through the integration of design and production within design-to-production (D2P) systems and to identify the role of innovative leadership. Methodologically, the work is grounded in a qualitative conceptual approach comprising an analytical literature review, the synthesis of D2P models, and the interpretation of industry practices. Drawing on the cases of Inditex (Zara), Nike, and SAG, the study demonstrates that digital technologies acquire strategic significance only when organisationally integrated into a unified value chain management system. The most effective transformation models are based on three elements: digital integration, sustainable production models (circular economy, ESG), and innovative leadership as the key mechanism for coordinating change. The principal conclusion is that D2P transformation in the textile industry is not merely a technological but also a managerial process, the success of which depends on integrated digital systems and leaders capable of synchronising design, production, and market....
This paper explores the role played by the Chinese government in the development of the photovoltaic (PV) industry. As an emerging industry providing clean energy, its development and relatively high costs determine that it cannot be separated from the support of national industrial policies. Based on Evans’ theory on the roles of the state, this paper analyzes the government’s intervention behaviors primarily from the dimensions of the “husbandry” and “midwifery” roles. The research finds that when private actors meet difficulties in the market, the state plays a “husbandry” role by guiding state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to join the PV sector and M & A businesses, and by engaging in capital and technological cooperation with private companies. Meanwhile, the government plays a “midwifery” role by including PV development in national economic plans, providing financial subsidies, and establishing incentive policies such as feed-in tariffs to back up existing private actors and attract investors and consumers. As the market matures, the national policy orientation has gradually shifted from vigorous support to giving room for market coordination, aiming to facilitate the PV sector to grow independently and sustainably. Overall, the state’s active intervention has successfully boosted market confidence, decreased industrial costs, and raised production efficiency, exerting a remarkable effect on promoting China’s PV sector....
Against the background of China’s gradient cultivation policy for specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative (SRDI) enterprises and the continued implementation of the “Made in China 2025” strategy, niche upgrading has become an important route for small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises to overcome low-end lock-in and achieve high-quality development. Taking Haibo Electric, a provincial manufacturing single-champion enterprise and national SRDI “little giant” enterprise, as the core case, this study integrates ecological niche theory and enterprise life-cycle theory and constructs an analytical framework based on niche width, niche fitness, and niche overlap. Owing to data availability, the empirical part uses a single-year cross-sectional sample of six enterprises in Yantai. Case analysis, exploratory DEA and SBM measurement, descriptive comparison, and qualitative evidence coding are adopted to identify the main factors related to niche upgrading. To improve reproducibility, the data are classified into publicly disclosed data, interview or internal-document data, and estimated data; estimated values are clearly marked and used only for exploratory comparison. The findings suggest that technological innovation, human-resource allocation, market expansion, policy support, industrial collaboration, and entrepreneurship may jointly support niche upgrading, while green development and digital transformation may constitute a dual-support path for improving niche fitness and expanding niche width. The conclusions are exploratory and should be further tested with larger samples, comparable industries, and multi-year panel data....
Taking A-share listed Internet and related digital service enterprises as the research objects, this paper uses financial and R&D data from 25 listed companies over 2021-2025. Since IR and Growth are measured by growth rates requiring prior-year values, the final regression sample covers fiscal years 2022- 2025, generating 100 firm-year observations. Corporate innovation resilience is measured by the growth rate of R&D expenses, debt leverage is measured by the asset-liability ratio, and firm size, profitability, and growth ability are controlled for. The results show that debt leverage is negatively associated with corporate innovation resilience, indicating that a higher debt level may exert pressure on enterprises’ continuous R&D investment. However, this effect does not show stable statistical significance in the sample. By contrast, corporate growth ability and firm size have a more pronounced effect on innovation resilience. The study suggests that Internet enterprises should reasonably control debt scale, optimize financing structure, and improve business growth ability and R&D investment efficiency in the process of enhancing innovation resilience....
