Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Twin transition may be the key to transforming industrial value chains with the aim of minimizing waste and pollution. The digital and green transition of organizations is crucial for the environment, for business development and for the shift to circular economy. Innovative management approaches, methods, and models still need to be investigated and proposed for better performance. In the European research and innovation funding programme 2021–2027, Horizon Europe, technologies are prioritised: advanced manufacturing, advanced materials, life-sciences technologies, micro/nano-electronics and photonics, artificial intelligence (AI), and security and connectivity. However, business and industry change is complex and full of process uncertainties, and requires a socially responsible and innovative approach.

The studies in this Special Issue are expected to address the challenges of twin transition, proposing new scientific insights, classifications, evaluation methodologies and decision-making process analysis for changing business models and transition to environmentally friendly economy.

We welcome the contribution of studies on innovative technologies, social innovations, technologies for circular economy, corporate social entrepreneurship, technological solutions for green business transformation, smart home solutions, Industry 4.0, changing needs and behaviour models of society, green economy, etc.

We invite you to submit comprehensive reviews, case studies, or research articles. Papers selected for this Special Issue will be subject to a rigorous peer-review procedure, with the aim of rapid and wide dissemination of research results, developments, and applications.

Prof. Dr. Vida Davidavičienė

Mobile food order applications have become a phenomenal disruption in the food delivery industry. Customers demand better and more consistent experiences when making most purchases, including in food choices. Food delivery platforms have also been seen as the most convenient feature for customers during the global COVID-19 pandemic. Although food delivery applications have been widely used, there is only a scarce literature that focuses on the factors that optimize user experience and repurchase intention. The current study attempted to explore customer repurchase intention, driven through cognitive and affective experience, towards food delivery applications. In the current study, we conceptualized and empirically confirmed an integrated model of antecedents for cognitive and affective experience and its influence on application satisfaction and repurchase intention. The model also incorporated situational factors (distance to restaurant and availability of time to visit restaurant) as a moderating variable. To test the proposed model, data were collected from 350 regular users of different food delivery applications. Subsequently, the data were analyzed using partial least square-structural equation modeling where the findings substantially supported the significance of cognitive and affective experience on application satisfaction and repurchase intention towards food delivery applications. In addition, the results of multigroup analysis (MGA) also confirmed the positive impact of situational factors as a moderator between application satisfactions and repurchase intention. The findings of the study provide important insights into how food delivery applications can accelerate cognitive and affective experience and use application satisfaction to encourage repeat buying intention. The results also offer guidance in designing and implementing effective approaches and strategies for food delivery retailers. Full article
