Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • A bibliometric cartography on the evolution of sustainable training from the classical era to the emerging trends era: global research trend and future pathway   Order a copy of this article
    by M.H. Raamkhumar 
    Abstract: The schema of global sustainability discourse is gradually extending into human capital development. This secular adaptation named sustainable training is one area that interfaces environmental awareness on the one hand with organisational learning on the other. The intellectual gestalt of and the thematic turn being taken by the studies in sustainable training are largely unexplored. This study offers a comprehensive bibliometric cartography that aims to offer a picture of global research activity on the subject of sustainable and green training, from the inception of the concept in the early 20th century until its modern developments. The analysis employed performance, the matic and science mapping approaches to identify scientific patterns, trends, and future directions. The findings demonstrate a series of three evolutionary phases: an embryonic one dominated indeed by conceptualisation, a formative one in which green HRM significantly intervened, and finally an emergent phase witnessing an integration of sustainability practices in harmony with the digital transformation and SDGs.
    Keywords: sustainable training; green training; training evolution; bibliometrics; trend mapping; science mapping.

  • Driving SME management in the digital era: an empirical evidence on the role of accounting information systems in strategic planning, controlling, and coordination activities   Order a copy of this article
    by Priyanka Koundal, Minie Bhalla, Manpreet Kailay 
    Abstract: In todays highly competitive environment, SMEs must recognise that accounting information systems (AISs) can improve planning, controlling, and coordinating activities (PCC), which are essential for their survival and success. This study established a theoretical framework based on the information systems (IS) success model. The components of the model were evaluated through structural equation modelling using Smart-PLS applied to a sample of 302 SMEs. Empirical evidence indicated that AISs information, system, and service quality strongly influence PCC, thereby fostering SMEs efficiency and supporting policy decisions benefiting practitioners and policymakers in SME management and development. This study is the first of its kind to analyse the impact of AIS on three essential managerial activities: planning, controlling, and coordinating. The findings shed light on the collective influence of AIS on these activities. The study offers valuable insights for strengthening PCC in SMEs, advancing AIS design, and informing owners, designers, and policymakers.
    Keywords: AIS; accounting information system; planning; controlling; coordinating; SMEs; small and medium-sized enterprises; accounting information systems.
