Collaborative sustainability for building resilient business models through strategic partnerships for startup growth Annapoorna M. S., P. Sundharesalingam, Maderametla Roja Rani, R. Prabha, B. R. Kumar Navigating Strategic Partnerships for Sustainable Startup Growth, 2025 In startup business models, strategic partnerships are held as a key to developing agility and resilience. Startups can engage in alliances that not only allow them to reinforce an emerging business model but also share values linked to sustainable development goals. Fundamental to the research is the idea that partnership frameworks can facilitate the scale needed to address operational and market factors that allow for innovation in response to changing business environments. Closing at a very pivotal point, the chapter consists, as noted before, of case studies and theoretical considerations that support startups looking to establish resilient business models by embedding sustainability right into their core. The findings demonstrate a deep and universal truth: co-creation, shared value, and virtuous behavior in business are the core ingredients of how we achieve long-term resilience and success in an evolving world.

The Future of Hr Marketing Ai-Driven Approaches to Talent Acquisition and Management Muskan Gupta, S. Ammani, Mohan Ranga Rao Dontineni, B. R. Kumar, Monika Gupta, Siva Koteswara Rao Katta Intelligent Computing and Emerging Communication Technologies ICEC 2024, 2024 The advent of AI has been a game-changer, impacting every facet of our life in this age of unparalleled technological progress. Every industry has seen the ripple effects of AI's profound impact, and human resource management is no exception. Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly important within the framework of people management strategies, which is explored in this chapter. Optimisation of talent acquisition, development, and retention strategies can be achieved with the use of insights enabled by data and automation made available by the ever-improving AI technology. This chapter explores the potential benefits and drawbacks of artificial intelligence (AI) in talent management, as well as the ethical challenges that arise from its utilisation. This thesis seeks to shed light on the revolutionary potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in HRM and its influence on organisational success by analysing current trends and future outcomes.
TOURISTS' PERCEPTION AND INFLUENCE FACTORS IN VIRTUAL TOURISM USING BAYESIAN SENTIMENTAL ANALYSIS MODEL IN VIETNAM BASED ON EWOM FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Bhavana Raj Kondamudi, Sinh Duc Hoang, Zuzana Tuckova, Sandeep Kumar Dey, Huynh Thai Hoc, Basava Rajeev Kumar Journal of Law and Sustainable Development, 2023 Objective: The advancement of Internet technology brought up the tourism industry towards new development and opportunities. With application of the Internet technology tourism industry comprises a vast range of virtual communities such as Trip Advisor, Agoda, Travelocity and so on. Existing research concentrated on evaluating the factors influencing virtual communities’ behaviour with limited evaluation of tourist perception. This paper focused on examining the tourists' perception of a virtual tour through the sentimental analysis model based on eWOM for sustainable development. Method: The developed model comprises the group average Bayesian network with the computation of the polarity of the tourist perception. A Bayesian network is a data-driven method involved in estimating dependence among the variable with probabilistic computation. Results: The analysis is based on data collected from sample population in Vietnam with consideration of the 11 variables. Participation intensity, social identity, functional value, emotional value, sharing, interaction, and user satisfaction are among eleven primary variables that have been chosen. Conclusions: The analysis of the results expressed that the user satisfaction level is based on the user's experience and functional value. Additionally, the analysis stated that social value comprises the intermediary role in virtual tourism. This research adds to research methodologies of user engagement methods as well as serves as a reference for theoretical research and management practise in the virtual tourist community.
