Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue focuses on business analytics, analytical approaches, and applications. In particular, we aim to publish comprehensive surveys of related existing and emerging trends, opportunities and challenges of scientific and practical significance, their evaluations, and innovative solutions.

Of special interest are contributions that reflect current technological advances (e.g., artificial intelligence, cloud computing, open data, and models), including the consideration of ethics, in particular data security and data privacy, explainability, fairness, etc.

Other suggested topics include:

  • Concepts, definitions, theories, models, methods, frameworks, applications, and influencing factors.
  • Performance, maturity, capabilities, limitations, etc.
  • Readiness, provision, use, and collaboration/cooperation in organizations.
  • Impact on business performance and mechanisms for increasing business growth.
  • Education, expertise, specializations, and the specialist market.
  • Unintentional, (un)responsible, and/or (un)ethical use.

Food commodities and energy bills have experienced rapid undulating movements and hikes globally in recent times. This spurred this study to examine the possibility that the shocks that arise from fluctuations of one market spill over to the other and to determine how time-varying the spillovers were across a time. Data were daily frequency (prices of grains and energy products) from 1 July 2019 to 31 December 2022, as quoted in markets. The choice of the period was to capture the COVID pandemic and the Russian–Ukrainian war as events that could impact volatility. The returns were duly calculated using spreadsheets and subjected to ADF stationarity, co-integration, and the full BEKK-GARCH estimation. The results revealed a prolonged association between returns in the energy markets and food commodity market returns. Both markets were found to have volatility persistence individually, and time-varying bidirectional transmission of volatility across the markets was found. No lagged-effects spillover was found from one market to the other. The findings confirm that shocks that emanate from fluctuations in energy markets are impactful on the volatility of prices in food commodity markets and vice versa, but this impact occurs immediately after the shocks arise or on the same day such variation occurs.

In recent decades, artificial intelligence has undergone transformative advancements, reshaping diverse sectors such as healthcare, transport, agriculture, energy, and the media. Despite the enthusiasm surrounding AI’s potential, concerns persist about its potential negative impacts, including substantial energy consumption and ethical challenges. This paper critically reviews the evolving landscape of AI sustainability, addressing economic, social, and environmental dimensions. The literature is systematically categorized into “Sustainability of AI” and “AI for Sustainability”, revealing a balanced perspective between the two. The study also identifies a notable trend towards holistic approaches, with a surge in publications and empirical studies since 2019, signaling the field’s maturity. Future research directions emphasize delving into the relatively under-explored economic dimension, aligning with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and addressing stakeholders’ influence.
