Artificial Intelligence Approaches to Sustainable Accounting by Tavares, Maria C.,Azevedo, Graça,Vale, José,Marques, Rui,Bastos, Maria Anunciação Pdf

In an age defined by unparalleled technological advancements, globalization, and the looming specter of environmental and societal crises, the need for a holistic and sustainable approach to accounting practices has never been more pressing. Academic scholars stand witness to the challenges posed by the new era, characterized by transformative shifts across industry, education, community, and society at large. These shifts, driven by rapid advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI), present a double-edged sword. While AI offers unprecedented opportunities for innovation, it also amplifies the urgency of addressing sustainability concerns. Today's society grapples with the immense responsibility of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) outlined in Agenda 2030. It is imperative to not only understand but harness the power of AI to drive sustainability, enhance the quality of life, and ensure sustainable growth on both local and global scales. Artificial Intelligence Approaches to Sustainable Accounting serves as a beacon of knowledge, providing a comprehensive exploration of the intersection between AI, accounting, and sustainability. This book represents a vital solution to the challenges faced by academic scholars and practitioners alike. Within its pages lies a transdisciplinary approach that bridges the gap between these critical fields. Discover how AI can elevate accounting to new heights, extending the spectrum of information in organizational decision-making, promoting responsible reporting practices, and bolstering sustainable practices worldwide. This book not only reviews governance and management processes but also offers practical methodologies that empower organizations to embrace sustainability wholeheartedly.

Digitalization and Resilience: Firm-level Evidence During the COVID-19 Pandemic by Nordine Abidi,Mehdi El Herradi,Sahra Sakha Pdf

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an unprecedented shock to firms with adverse consequences for existing productive capacities. At the same time, digitalization has increasingly been touted as a key pathway for mitigating economic losses from the pandemic, and we expect firms facing digital constraints to be less resilient to supply shocks. This paper uses firm-level data to investigate whether digitally-enabled firms have been able to mitigate economic losses arising from the pandemic better than digitally-constrained firms in the Middle East and Central Asia region using a difference-in-differences approach. Controlling for demand conditions, we find that digitally-enabled firms faced a lower decline in sales by about 4 percentage points during the pandemic compared to digitally-constrained firms, suggesting that digitalization acted as a hedge during the pandemic. Against this backdrop, our results suggest that policymakers need to close the digital gap and accelerate firms’ digital transformation. This will be essential for economies to bounce back from the pandemic, and build the foundations for future resilience.

Sustainable Cities by Claudio Scardovi Pdf

Global cities are facing an almost unprecedented challenge of change. As they re-emerge from the Covid 19 pandemic and get ready to face climate change and other, potentially existential threats, they need to look for new ways to support wealth and wellbeing creation – leveraging Big Data and AI and suing them into their physical reality and to become greener, more inclusive and resilient, hence sustainable. This book describes how new digital technologies could be used to design digital and physical twins of cities that are able to feed into each other to optimize their working and ability to create new wealth and wellbeing. The book also describes how to increase cities’ social and economic resilience during crisis time and addressing their almost fatal weaknesses – as it became all too obvious during the recent COVID 19 crisis. Also, the book presents a framework for a critical discussion of the concept of “smart-city”, suggesting its development into a “cyber” and “meta” one – meaning, not only digital systems can allow physical ones (e.g. cities, citizens, households and companies) to become “smarter”, but also the vice versa is true, as off line data and real life behaviours can support the optimization and development of virtual brains as a sum of big data and artificial intelligence apps all sitting “over the cloud”. An analysis of the fundamental dynamics of this emerging “info-telligence” economy, and of the potential role of big digital players like Amazon, Google and Facebook is then paving the way to discuss a few strategic forays on how traditional sectors such as financial services, real estate, TMT or health could also evolve, leveraging Big Data and AI in a cyber-physical integrated setting. Finally, a number of thought provoking use cases that could be designed around individuals, and to improve the success and the resilience of households and companies living and working in urban areas are discussed, as an example of one of the most exciting future markets to come: the one of global, sustainable cities

Enhancing Food Production System Resilience for Food Security Facing a Changing Environment by Liming Ye,Ping Zhu Pdf

As the dominant source of the human food supply, the global land system underlies the foundation of the livelihood and wellbeing of humanity on Earth. On the one hand, the growth rate in the land system’s productive capacity of food has played a key role in global food provision. Technological breakthroughs in wheat and rice production during the past few decades, for instance, have greatly contributed to the maintenance of this growth rate in many parts of the world. On the other hand, however, the terrestrial food production system is facing increasing challenges from environmental stressors ranging from climate change, air pollution to land degradation. Whether and how the global land system will support the food security of more than 10 billion people in the 21st century while minimizing its environmental footprint remains an open question to debate. It is inevitable that the global food production system has to be shifted from focusing on production expansion to land system resilience so that the dual goals of sustainable production and environmental friendliness can be simultaneously achieved.

Handbook of Research on Promoting Logistics and Supply Chain Resilience Through Digital Transformation by Masudin, Ilyas,Almunawar, Mohammad Nabil,Restuputri, Dian Palupi,Sud-On, Ploy Pdf

Adoption of new technologies in logistics and supply chain processes is crucial for the continued effectiveness of supply chains. Technology has the potential to address the issue of logistics and supply chain visibility throughout the supply chain, from raw materials through manufacturers and end users. When properly implemented, improved forecasting of inventory levels, employee productivity, adequate accountability, and higher warehouse savings are all possible. Additionally, businesses must upskill their supply chain workers and recruit and manage digital talent in cross-functional teams. The Handbook of Research on Promoting Logistics and Supply Chain Resilience Through Digital Transformation discusses the ways in which global logistics and supply chains have been severely disrupted by digital technology transformation. The book helps policymakers in designing a resilient framework that can absorb external shocks like the COVID-19 pandemic and also enhances the performance and operational capability of the logistics and supply chain network. Covering topics such as oil and gas maintenance support, stakeholder management, and business optimization strategy, this major reference work is essential for logistics professionals, business leaders and executives, IT managers, government officials, manufacturers, students and faculty of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
