The relationship between knowledge management (KM) and organization performance has been thoroughly studied. However, there is still a research gap to determine other factors that could influence this relationship. One significant component is innovation, and we need to consider the size and age of the organization to determine how innovation influences organizational resilience (OR). A few studies discussed innovation and knowledge management; however, they usually focus on large firms. This study is based on MSMEs in India. In this study, we analyzed how innovation can link between KM and OR. We examined three components of KM in our research: knowledge generation (KG), knowledge transfer (KT), and knowledge acquisition (KA). We obtained responses from 336 respondents who took part in this study. We used PLS‐SEM to analyze the data. The findings indicate that innovation plays an essential role in establishing a relationship between KM and OR. Firm age is found as a significant moderating factor of this relationship. It implies that, to be robust, older enterprises in MSMEs should prioritize both KM and innovation. This study can serve as a useful resource for MSMEs that wish to learn more about the role of innovation in utilizing KM and OR.

This chapter provides a critical look at the definition of CSR based on the subject matter literature available. Because CSR is an emerging term in both definition and reality, this study aims to illustrate CSR in relation to the different stakeholders and entities termed as CSR ecosystem in this study. Furthermore, this study also offers an outline of factors, interactions, and contexts under review, such as CSR, Section 135 of the Indian Companies Act 2013, the effect of the Act on corporate bodies' CSR operations, the impact of CSR on societal and environmental concerns, contrasting CSR schools of thinking, and gaps in the views of management, government, shareholders, and stakeholders.

The objective of the research study was to explore the factors that affect the adoption of digital banking by self-help groups (SHGs). This study is based on a mixed-methods approach to identify the emerging trends and opportunities in the field of banking assistance for SHGs with the use of Google Trends Analysis (GTA). This study significantly contributes to the existing body of literature by critically examining well-established theoretical frameworks and foundations in this field. The knowledge gained from this study can encourage collaborative initiatives with various stakeholders within self-help groups (SHGs), potentially promoting financial stability and providing assistance to both the group's members and the larger community. The practical significance of this study lies in its potential application to digital banking systems designed specifically to offer SHG members a supportive environment.

This chapter investigates components of sustainable resource management that are aligned with the book's theme. A strategic paradigm of the literature serves as the foundation for the investigation. In that regard, to comprehend the issue's complexities, the writers delved into earlier studies. In addition, to confirm and refine the keywords related to sustainable resource management, they utilized expert data mining. Both methodologies supported the findings that follow. Specifically, the study suggests that among academic, scientific, and policymaking circles, sustainability has become one of the most utilized buzzwords. Secondly, the findings also uncovered that the business community has refocused its efforts on sustainability as evidenced by the increased development and public release of sustainability reports. Finally, the results also showcase the growing interest by the aforementioned stakeholders as they pursue “sustainable solutions” – and in many capacities through a technology lens. Taking all of these variables into consideration, this chapter argues a compelling case for an organised effort (amongst the multiple stakeholders) to employ technology to deliver effective resource management solutions – and sets the stage for the multidisciplinary chapters that follow.
