Sustainable Governance and Financial Strategies: Empirical Studies on Business, Public Sector, and Enviromental Management

The contemporary global landscape is characterized by rapid socio-economic transformation, environmental concerns, and increasing demands for good governance, transparency, and accountability. In response to these challenges, both private and public sector organizations are required to adapt their strategies to achieve sustainability, financial resilience, and community well-being.

This book presents a compilation of empirical research studies focusing on key issues that define sustainable business and governance practices. The chapters encompass various themes, including earnings management influenced by financial distress and ownership structures, the accountability mechanisms in managing village funds, circular economy applications in public waste management, and the institutional readiness for public service agencies.

Each study contributes unique insights into how institutions—whether corporate, governmental, or quasi-public—navigate financial, governance, and operational challenges while striving to align with the principles of sustainability and stakeholder responsibility.

The goal of this book is not only to provide rigorous academic analyses but also to offer practical recommendations for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers in the fields of business, public administration, and environmental management
