    Digital transformation and management of VUCA-RR environments in perspective of industry 5.0
    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., 2023) Mert G.; Akkaya B.; Andreea A.S.
    With the rapid development of technology in the era of digitalization, Industry 4.0 has become a reference for R&D studies in various sectors. The rapid development of technology makes the life of societies and people easier. For this reason, governments tend to develop their technologies and to encourage organizations in this field for this purpose. The concept of Industry 5.0 or Society 5.0 explains the revolution in people's lives with the development of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Today, many interrelated factors are rapidly preparing people for a complex and volatile future. This situation is accepted as the "new normal" and is defined as VUCA-RR (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity, Rapidity, Radicality). Variability refers to the increasing pace of change, uncertainty, unpredictability in life. Complexity indicates difficulties in relationships in life, and ambiguity indicates difficulties in understanding the events around us. The advancement and widespread use of digital technologies will enable organizations to develop sustainable strategies by providing them with the opportunity to grow by achieving sustainable competitiveness and profit in the VUCA-RR environment. © 2024 Gozde Mert.

    Investigating the relationships among organizational policy, strategic planning performance, and business ethics in manufacturing and service industries
    (Springer, 2025) Mert G.; Akkaya B.; Palazzo M.; Micozzi A.; Ferri A.; Notari F.
    This study explores the intricate relationships among business ethics, organizational policy, and strategic planning performance within Turkey’s manufacturing and service industries. The research specifically aims to (i) assess the impact of organizational policies on strategic planning performance, (ii) evaluate how business ethics shapes organizational policies and strategic outcomes, and (iii) examine the moderating role of business ethics in the relationship between organizational policy and strategic planning performance. A quantitative methodology was employed, surveying 732 managers and employees using a 21-item questionnaire with 5-point Likert scales. Data analysis included exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to validate constructs, and the Hayes PROCESS macro to evaluate moderation effects. The study provides three precise findings: first, organizational policy has a significant positive relationship with both business ethics and strategic planning performance. Second, business ethics strongly enhances strategic planning performance. Third, business ethics moderates the relationship between organizational policy and strategic planning performance, amplifying their positive interaction. This research contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence of business ethics’ moderating role, offering a comprehensive analysis within an emerging market context, and proposing an integrated framework for the interaction of these three dimensions. The findings underscore the importance of integrating ethical considerations into organizational policies to achieve enhanced strategic outcomes. These insights provide practical guidance for managers seeking to foster ethical cultures and improve organizational performance in competitive markets. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2025.
