Abstract

The growing importance of long-term competitiveness has intensified scholarly interest in sustainable competitive advantage (SCA). However, existing studies remain fragmented across strategic management, innovation, sustainability, and information systems research. This study conducts a systematic literature review supported by bibliometric and keyword co-occurrence analyses using the PRISMA framework to map the intellectual structure of SCA research. An initial search of the Scopus database identified 812 publications, which were screened and reduced to 136 articles for final analysis. The findings reveal six major thematic clusters: sustainability and stakeholder value, strategic management and organizational performance, innovation and technological capabilities, dynamic capabilities and organizational learning, industrial and manufacturing applications, and data driven and knowledge-based systems. The results indicate that sustainability strategies, managerial capabilities, innovation practices, operational systems, and digital technologies collectively shape the development of SCA. This study contributes by integrating fragmented insights and clarifying the main research streams in SCA literature. It also highlights emerging themes such as digital transformation and sustainability integration, offering directions for future interdisciplinary research on sustainable competitiveness.

Abstract

Service recovery has become an important research area as organizations seek effective strategies to address service failures and maintain customer relationships. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis to examine the intellectual structure and thematic evolution of service recovery research. Initially, 258 publications were retrieved from the Scopus database, and after screening, 182 studies were retained for analysis. Using keyword co-occurrence and overlay visualization techniques, the results identify six major research clusters: (1) justice, satisfaction, and perceived fairness; (2) customer behavior, loyalty, and forgiveness; (3) service failure and recovery processes; (4) employee roles and organizational responses; (5) hospitality and tourism applications; and (6) digital platforms, artificial intelligence, and online service contexts. Early studies focused on justice perceptions and complaint management in service failures, while later research expanded to behavioral outcomes, organizational capabilities, and industry applications. Recent studies increasingly explore digital service environments, including online reviews, social media, and AI-enabled service recovery. These findings map the intellectual structure of service recovery research and highlight emerging directions for technology-driven service recovery and customer relationship management.

Abstract

Background of study: Circular economy has been widely studied in manufacturing industries, yet its application in rural agricultural communities remains underexplored. Most derivative product developments often overlook whether they meet the real needs of local communities. Aims and scope of paper: This paper aims to introduce the Mapalus Circular Economic Model, which integrates the traditional Minahasan concept of mapalus—a cooperative system based on kinship—into rural economic empowerment. The scope focuses on exploring how agricultural derivative products can be developed and consumed within rural communities to create a sustainable local economy. Methods: The study employs a literature review method, synthesizing existing research on circular economy, community-based development, and the role of mapalus in strengthening collaboration, knowledge transfer, and social cohesion. Result: : Findings highlight that the Mapalus Circular Economic Model positions rural communities as both producers and consumers of derivative agricultural products. This dual role fosters sustainable economic cycles, enhances community self-reliance, and supports environmental preservation. The integration of local traditions, knowledge resources, policies, and external collaborations is identified as essential for successful implementation. Conclusion: The Mapalus Model represents a blueprint for rural economic empowerment through circular economy practices grounded in cultural values. By revitalizing mapalus traditions, the model fosters collective action, reduces poverty, and strengthens social bonds. However, as this study is based on literature review, empirical validation through field research is required to ensure its practical applicability and effectiveness in real-world settings.

Abstract

Customer trust is a fundamental factor in sustaining long-term relationships in the banking sector. However, service failures in digital banking can weaken trust and damage brand perception. This study examines the influence of service recovery on word-of-mouth, sustainable brand perception, and customer trust, and the mediating role of customer trust. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey from 250 banking customers in Manado, Indonesia. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that service recovery significantly influences word-of-mouth and customer trust. Word of mouth also significantly affects perceptions of a brand's sustainability and customer trust. Furthermore, customer trust mediates the relationship between service recovery and sustainable brand. These findings highlight the importance of effective service recovery in strengthening trust, generating positive word-of-mouth, and supporting sustainable branding in the banking industry.

Abstract

Customer loyalty represents a critical challenge for subscription-based digital services, particularly in the highly competitive music streaming industry. This study aims to examine the influence of perceived value and pricing on loyalty intention, with customer satisfaction serving as a mediating variable among Spotify Premium users. A quantitative research approach was employed through a survey. Data were collected from 204 respondents and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The structural model analysis reveals that perceived value and pricing have significant positive effects on customer satisfaction and loyalty intention. Furthermore, customer satisfaction significantly mediates the relationships among perceived value, pricing, and loyalty intention, indicating that satisfaction is an important mechanism linking service evaluation to loyalty behavior. The study contributes to the literature on digital consumer behavior by clarifying the mechanism through which value and price perceptions influence loyalty in subscription platforms. Practically, the findings provide insights for digital music service providers to design strategies that enhance perceived value, optimize pricing structures, and improve user satisfaction, thereby strengthening long-term customer loyalty.
