Sustainable Excellence : Economic, Social, and Environmental Issues

Selected Contributions: Sustainable Excellence—Economic, Social, and Environmental Issues presents a curated collection of peer-reviewed research papers presented at the 2nd Tunisian Symposium on Economics and Management (TSEM 2025), held in Tunisia from April 11 to 13, 2025. The symposium was organised by the Research Unit "Economy, Enterprise, Environment" (3E) at the Higher Institute of Management (ISG), University of Gabes. This volume offers a multidisciplinary and innovative examination of the factors underpinning sustainable excellence amid contemporary global challenges. The contributions are organised around five core themes: first, the role of innovation as a critical driver of ecological transition; second, the transformation of labour markets and accompanying social dynamics necessary for a just transition; third, the design and evaluation of sustainable economic models; fourth, the synergistic effects of artificial intelligence (AI) and financial inclusion on progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); and fifth, the significance of responsible managerial practices grounded in corporate social responsibility (CSR) and ethical governance. Collectively, these contributions provide rigorous, timely insights into the interdependencies among economic, social, and environmental systems. This volume serves as an essential reference for academics, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in the field.
