Do ESG Leaders Achieve Higher Firm Financial Performance? The Influence of Women Directors and Controversial Industries

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Given the growing pressure on companies to achieve high ESG performance while minimising ESG controversies, this study investigates how ESG performance and ESG controversies jointly affect firm financial performance (measured as ROA and ROE), considering the effect of the presence of women directors and of operating in controversial versus non‐

New Infinite Classes for Normal Trimagic Squares of Even Orders Using Row–Square Magic Rectangles

Mathematics
As matrix representations of magic labelings of related hypergraphs, magic squares and their various variants have been applied to many domains. Among various subclasses, trimagic squares have been investigated for over a hundred years.

Digital Transformation and Informal Innovation in Africa: Reframing STI Policy for Inclusive Circular Economy Transitions

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amid increasing environmental and economic pressures, Africa's transition to a circular economy (CE) presents a vital pathway to inclusive, low‐carbon development. Yet, how digital transformation, informal innovation, and science, technology, and innovation (STI) policy readiness shape CE outcomes remains underexplored.

Powering Transparency: Global Drivers of Sustainability Reporting in the Electricity Sector

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine the drivers of sustainability reporting quality (QSR), conceptualised along two complementary dimensions, relevance and reliability, to assess how firm‐level attributes and institutional conditions jointly shape disclosure practices in the electricity sector.

Generalized latin squares I

Discrete Applied Mathematics, 1989
New generalizations of latin squares are given by the authors. Several algorithms for constructing such squares are presented. Reviewer's remark: It is unfortunate that the authors did not compare their generalizations with frequency (F) squares. [For definition and some of their properties see e.g. \textit{A. S. Hedayat} and \textit{E.

Diagonal-complete latin squares

European Journal of Combinatorics, 2003
A Latin square \((a_{ij})\) of order \(n\) is called right-diagonal-complete (resp. left-diagonal-complete) if \(\{(a_{ij},a_{i+1,j+1}):1 \leq i,j \leq n\} =\{(i,j):1 \leq i,j \leq n\}\) (resp. \(\{(a_{ij},a_{i+1,j-1}):1 \leq i,j \leq n\} =\{(i,j):1 \leq i,j \leq n\}\)) and diagonal-complete if it is simultaneously right-diagonal-complete and left ...

Signs on Latin Squares

Advances in Applied Mathematics, 1994
A Latin square, \(L\), of order \(n\) is an \(n\times n\) matrix such that each element in an \(n\)-set \(S\) occurs exactly once in each row and column of \(L\). Each row and column of \(L\) can be thought of as a permutation of \(S\). With each \(L\), the authors associate \(rc\in \{++,+-,-+,--\}\) where \(r\) (respectively \(c\)) is \(+\) if \(L ...
