The study is qualitative in nature and a descriptive research design with the in-depth interview was used. The study employed both primary and secondary sources of data to investigate the study on hand. More specifically purposive sampling techniques were used to select the respondents for the interview. Discourse analysis was used in the study to recognize discursive interaction as a valuable tool for determining opinions, ideas, and facts about plastic products in Ethiopia. The study developed two different storylines regarding the opportunities and challenges of plastic products. As a result, the first storyline (S1) used taxing plastic products as an alternative strategy. The second storyline (S2) used banning plastic products as opoosing strategy. The study finding implies that having a tax on plastic products could provide more opportunities for the country than banning them. More specifically, taxing plastic products will be more appropriate for the generation of revenue, employment, industrial process, construction process, and recycling in Ethiopia. On the other hand, a lack of proper collection systems, separation of the source of disposal, a properly designed operating system, clear authorities and sanitation rules, organizational capacity, and unreliable collection services were found to existing challenges of plastic products. Governments and policymakers shall play a critical role in developing the necessary legislative framework to encourage mitigation actions that contribute to the reduction of plastic waste at the source, as well as encouraging the cleanup of plastic pollution on coastlines. Public discussion on alternative packaging than the one-time use of plastic products is also needed. Public awareness is required to change customer attitudes, and separation of organic and non-organic waste across the cities.

The study objective was to examine the relationship between green innovation and financial performance. The study used an explanatory research design and a quantitative research approach to achieve the study's objective. Secondary time series data collected quarterly during the study period (2014–2020) was utilized to run the regression model. Autoregressive moving average (ARIMA) was used to forecast the growing level of green financial innovation transactions, and autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL) was used to examine the effect of green financial innovation transactions on financial performance. According to forecasted results, on average green financial innovation transaction is expected to grow by 11 percent each quarter, and its impact on financial performance is found positive and significant in the short run. However, the long-run estimation of ARDL shows the positive and insignificant effect of green financial innovation on financial performance. Based on the study's findings, we recommend that the banking sector focuses on adopting green financial innovations to improve financial performance by taking into account both the short-run and long-run benefits of the products. At the same time, we suggest that the sector focus on those green financial innovations which have the lowest adoption and development costs compared to others since the long-run effect affects the overall financial performance of the sector. The main contribution of this study is to provide future indication on the relationship between the two variables in order to provide proper decision making in a bid to make green innovation investment.

The western countries’ economic sanctions on Russia and the Russian government’s reverse sanctions on western countries create pressure on the world economy. This study was conducted to investigate how the economic performance is responding to COVID-19 and the geopolitical crisis of the era. In doing so, both theoretical and numerical data reviews have been performed. The objective of the study is to investigate the short-term risks and long-term strategic challenges of the crisis. The study used a bibliometric approach with the help of RStudio software. The Web of Science database was used for extracting the resources in line with the grey literature from the Google Search engine. A total of 895 documents were utilized in this bibliometric analysis. At the same time, secondary panel data extracted from the international monetary fund (IMF) for a period of 4 years (2019–2022) were utilized fo...

However, it remains to be seen whether green financing is effective in addressing current global environmental issues. In this article, we, therefore, analyze the diffusion patterns of green finance publications in the Global South and Global North to identify which section of the globe is under-researched from this perspective. The study tried to highlight the overall trends of research publications on green finance, continent, most contributing authors, countries, and journals. The study used a bibliometric approach with the help of R studio software. The Scopus database was used for extracting the resources and 522 documents utilized in this bibliometric analysis. The result demonstrates that the diffusion of green finance is more common in the Global North than in the Global South. However, the number of scientific studies produced over time, the number of active authors, and affili...

These dumped plastics affect our health, socioeconomic conditions, coastal and marine environments, as well as our climate. The purpose of this study is to systematically review the potential opportunities and challenges of plastic products under the umbrella of banning and taxing. The discourse analysis approach was used in this study to critically analyze and summarize 42 relevant studies. The study developed two different storylines. The first storyline (S1) used taxing plastic products as an alternative strategy. The second storyline (S2) used banning plastic products as an opposing alternative strategy. The findings of the study show that taxing plastic products is frequently observed in developed countries, whereas banning plastic products is frequently observed in developing countries. Benefits in regards to revenue generation, creating public awareness, employment opportunities,...

Even though there was much literature on the subject of HRM and leadership, there were still some unanswered questions about the set of HR practices that most effectively contribute to improved employees’ performance through proper leadership. The primary goal of this research was to look at how leadership quality affects employee performance, as well as the function of human resource management in mediating the relationship between leadership and employee performance in manufacturing industries in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The study used an explanatory and descriptive research design, and a mixed research approach (qualitative and quantitative), to achieve its goal. More specifically, a multi-stage sampling technique (simple random and purposive sampling) was employed. The data was collected from both primary and secondary sources, and analysis was mad...

However, whether green financing is effective in addressing current global environmental issues remains to be seen since the green investment gap has been discovered to be rather sizable, with no certainty regarding how to fill it. The purpose of this study was to systematically analyze green finance in all of its forms, instruments, and measurements. Herein, we highlighted overall research trends in an effort to enhance green finance for inclusive green investment, as well as examined the progress needed to fill the green finance gap. This study also provides information on which authors, countries, publishers, and journals are contributing most to green finance. The methodological approach used in many reviewed papers was determined as a benchmark for those authors interested in green finance. Moreover, this study critically analyzes and summarizes 146 relevant studies. The results of o...
