- GenAI for sustainable development: an inductive analysis of international organizationsPublication . Faria, Beatriz Manuel; Trocin, CristinaGenerative AI (GenAI) presents significant potential to address sustainability challenges. By offering solutions for resource efficiency, strategic decision-making, and aligning practices with sustainable development goals (SDGs), GenAI enables organizations to harmonize environmental preservation, economic growth, and societal values. Despite its promise, achieving sustainability with GenAI requires a holistic approach that considers its life cycle, including design, training, validation, implementation, and use, to address energy consumption and resource efficiency challenges. Existing research provides limited insight into the processes and strategies organizations use to integrate GenAI effectively for sustainable development. We bridge the gap by conducting an exploratory case study examining the influence of GenAI on sustainable development within international organizations. The findings aim to enhance understanding of GenAI’s dual role in driving sustainability efforts and ensuring its own sustainable implementation, contributing to environmentally and socially responsible organizational practices.

- Overview of generative processes in the work of Brian EnoPublication . Gradim, Rita; Pestana, Pedro DuarteBrian Eno is a famous a musician, producer and artist known for his endeavors in rock music who has devoted the latter part of his career to ambient and generative work. There are a few publications regarding his work (Albiez & Pattie, 2016; Sheppard, 2009; Tamm, 1988), but they do not focus exclusively on his generative processes. The only paper that details Eno’s generative music only addresses the concepts of generative music and describes Eno’s apps (Marshall & Loydell, 2017). The paper focuses more on his apps and it does not present a detailed correlation between his background/ influences to his work. This paper bridges that specific gap, by detailing Eno’s school background, his influences, generative processes and how he moved on from traditional to more technological approaches.
- The pricing of sustainable syndicated loansPublication . Alves, Paulo; Gonçalo, Jorge; Pinto, JoãoThis paper provides a comparative analysis of sustainable and conventional syndicated loan spreads and pricing. Using a cross-section of 24,962 syndicated loan tranches closed between 2018 and 2022 in OECD countries, we show that sustainable and conventional loans are differently priced, spreads of sustainable versus conventional loans do not differ significantly, and banks rely on contractual, macroeconomic, bank syndicate structure, and borrowers’ characteristics when pricing sustainable tranches. At the deal-level, our results do not support the hypothesis of sustainable debt financing as a mechanism for reducing firms’ funding costs. We also find that economies of scale, institutional, and information asymmetry arguments affect firms’ choice between sustainable and conventional syndicated deals.
- Subscription programs in omnichannel grocery retailing: implications for revenue and fulfilment operationsPublication . Sousa, R.; Rabinovich, E.; Lim, S.; Park, S.This paper investigates the implications for revenue and fulfillment operations of the introduction of online subscription programs to pay for home delivery in omnichannel grocery retailing. Based on data on consumer-level transactions in a retailer before and after the introduction of a subscription program, we find that subscribers increase their online product spending after joining the program. However, the online product sales contribution is offset by changes in consumers’ behaviors intended to extract economic benefits from joining the program, with negative impacts on fulfillment operations. We discuss the implications of these findings for the design of subscription programs and fulfillment operations.
