E-commerce can optimize the communications between producers, distributors, consumers, and even policy makers. However, due to many reasons, the application of e-commerce by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in developing economies is still limited.

The present study explored the relationship between CEO duality and the scope of CER practices in the yearly reports of Jordanian industrial firms over the period 2009-2018 shaped by the board directors’ political links. To determine the amount of environmental data included in the firms’ yearly reports, the method of content analysis checklist was applied. CEO duality was chosen as an independent variable, which was measured by attributing a score to the existence/non-existence of CEO dual role, whilst the employed moderator variable was the political links and measured by attributing a score to the existence/non-existence of political links among the board directors of the investigated firms. Furthermore, to evaluate how the relationship between CEO duality and CER practices was influenced by political links, the statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) and Hayes’ PROCESS macro were adopted. According to the results obtained, the above-mentioned relationship was substantially adversely impacted by political links. Such results could promote better corporate-stakeholder communication, enhancing stakeholders’ awareness of environmental responsibility in the context of Jordan as a developing nation. Therefore, the results have ramifications for the practices employed by firms to report on matters unrelated to finance.

The effects of eleven factors of entrepreneurial intention were investigated, including personality, social, and societal factors. A convenience sampling method and 350 self-administered questionnaires were used for data collection from four Sudanese universities, obtaining a usable response rate of 84.6%. Through Smart PLS, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used for data analysis and relationship interpretation. The results showed that innovativeness and cultural valuation were positively and significantly associated with students' entrepreneurial intention.
