Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

New challenges are shaping today’s society, specifically individuals and organizations (Howard-Grenville et al. 2014). Climate change, poverty, hunger, and digitalization are persistent issues, while emerging crises, such as COVID-19 and the Ukraine war, have just begun (He and Harris 2020). The transition to a “new normal” has set new discussion points regarding adjustment and resilience and shaping new organizational behaviors (Clauß et al. 2022 and Chesbrough 2020).

There is an immense interest in exploring the transitional process in organizational functioning, wherein opportunities brought about by such challenges are being explored. According to the adjustment and implementation scale, the behaviors of new business models can be analyzed  (Raghavan et al. 2021). Whether they are leaders or followers in innovation, structural changes, and business models, organizations represent a good resource for research, study, and analysis. Understanding their behavioral changes can also help us better prepare for future challenges.  

Theoretical, conceptual, and empirical contributions exploring the “New Normal” for businesses are welcome. This Special Issue, which is linked to the 2nd Conference on Business Research and Management (CBR&M), aims to discuss the most important business and organizational implications of this "new normal" and the challenges that public and private organizations will face in the coming years.

All papers published in this issue have been presented in the “2nd Conference in Business Research and Management” organized by the University of New York Tirana, the University of Rome “Tor Vergata”, and the University of Castilla - La Mancha.

To date, the studies on managerial loss aversion have produced contradictory findings, making it impossible to: (i) identify the ultimate impact of managerial loss aversion on the value that organisations create for themselves and for their stakeholders, and (ii) mitigate the effect of managerial loss aversion to improve corporate value creation. With the aim of filling this gap, the authors of this paper first performed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), resulting in 65 relevant papers. The 65 papers were then analysed through a Thematic Analysis (TA), which was aimed at isolating and revising the single effects of managerial loss aversion on the corporate value creation process. Once it became clear when and how managerial loss aversion leads to negative impacts on corporate value creation (such as suboptimal investments in corporate social responsibility, short-term-oriented budget expenditures, illegal corporate conduct in favourable contexts, and low demand for audit quality), a novel theoretical framework was built. This framework proposes some preliminary approaches to mitigate these detrimental effects. In particular, future empirical research may operationalise potential debiasing strategies, derived from critical analysis of the literature, to reduce managerial loss aversion in different business settings, thereby improving corporate value creation.
