Title: The impact of circular economy orientation on closed-loop supply chain: The moderating roles of vision communication and digitalization

Abstract: In the context of circular economy, understanding the intricate mechanisms that facilitate the transition from a circular economy orientation to a closed-loop supply chain remains a relatively unexplored area. This study investigates the impact of circular economy orientation, supply chain vision communication, and supply chain digitalization on the establishment of a closed-loop supply chain. We used data collected from 193 manufacturing firms in China to perform hierarchical moderated regression models to test the proposed relationships using a blend of contingency resource-based view and socio-technical system theory. The findings reveal that both circular economy orientation and supply chain digitalization are positively related to a closed-loop supply chain, whereas supply chain vision communication has no direct relationship with a closed-loop supply chain. Furthermore, the findings uncover that supply chain vision communication moderates the relationship between circular economy orientation and closed-loop supply chain, while supply chain digitalization does not exhibit such influence circular economy. These findings not only contribute significantly to the existing body of knowledge on the circular economy but also offer actionable insights for practitioners.

Title:  Responsible AI and Innovative Performance: The role Trust in AI, Personality, and AI Crafting

Abstract: Our study we examine the interaction between responsible AI, user trust, individual personality factors, and innovative performance. As AI technologies transform organizational environments, it is crucial to provide a framework for responsible AI development that emphasizes transparency, accountability, and ethical considerations. Trust is a fundamental component in the adoption and effective application of AI, impacting user engagement and organizational creativity. We investigate the relationship between personality traits, particularly openness, and trust in AI systems, which facilitates collaboration between humans and AI. Furthermore, we investigate the AI crafting, wherein users actively design and personalize AI systems, as a means to cultivate trust and improve innovative performance. Enabling users to shape AI operations allows firms to develop systems that more effectively meet user requirements, fostering enhanced trust and innovation. This research offers insights into optimal techniques for incorporating ethical AI across many sectors and how to utilize personality variations to enhance partnerships with AI. This keynote aims to equip leaders and practitioners with strategies to harness responsible AI for innovative excellence and sustainable performance in the rapidly evolving digital landscape.
