Authors: Mohapatra, Amiya Kumar Abstract: The digital governance (DG) policies can help to mitigate the resource curse and promote sustainable growth of business by improving transparency, accountability for SDGs, and efficiency in natural resource management (NRM). However, in this regard the scholarly literature is lacking on how to mitigate the resource curse to support the NRM and environmentally sustainable business through DG policies. This study uses rigorous qualitative research to locate and sort through studies pertinent to ‘natural resources management’ and ‘environmentally sustainable business growth’ and then critically evaluate and combine the results into a unified claim. This study argues that similar to how evolution causes changes in societies and cultures, it introduces a four-stage ‘digital government evolution model’, which includes the stages of ‘digitization, transformation, engagement and contextualization’. The findings indicate that implementing mitigating DG policies substantially alleviates the deterioration linked with ‘resource curse’ by enhancing trade diversification and effective, environmentally sustainable economic growth. The outcomes offer theoretical support for the sustainable advancement of DG and the alleviation of the ‘resource curse’, while also establishing a practical foundation for enhancing the development of DG through recommended strategic mitigating policies for NRM for resource curse for sustainable business for achieving SDGs.

Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) is used as a tool in this study to evaluate the impact of various behavioural biases like'optimism','overconfidence','disposition','herding', and'anchoring'on the decisions of individual investors. Data of individual investors is obtained through a structured questionnaire based on survey-based research design. A total of 200 sample data is considered for the study after due scrutiny. The result revealed that optimism, herding, and anchoring biases positively influence investors' investment decisions, with beta values of 0.37, 0.05, and 0.73 respectively. However, it is found that'overconfidence'and'disposition'biases have negative effects on investors' investment decisions. The findings of this study will enable investors to make more rational and informed investment decisions by recognizing, anticipating, and mitigating the influence of behavioural biases and their consequential effects on investment outcomes. It will also be helpful to the policymakers to identify the anomalies in the financial market and will develop the appropriate strategies to overcome/eliminate their adverse effects.

Authors: Mohapatra, Amiya Kumar Abstract: The purpose of this study is to explore how operational excellence (OPEX) can be redefined in the era of Industry 5.0 (I5.0) by integrating human-centric, sustainability and resiliency principles. This study investigates the role of emerging technologies and I5.0 to align OPEX with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and highlights the involvement of multiple stakeholders in this transformation. This is particularly relevant for Ibero-American countries, where organisations are increasingly seeking to incorporate sustainability and human-centric values into their operational models to meet global development targets.
