This research investigates the impact of digitalization on manufacturing firms' competitiveness, environmental sustainability, and social inclusiveness, using Canon Inc.’s operations globally as a case study. Existing literature underscores the transformative potential of digital economics in the manufacturing industry; however, a comprehensive exploration of its impact on sustainability remains to be explored in detail. Employing a mixed-methods approach and Systems Theory as a theoretical framework, data was gathered from Canon's sustainability reports, financial statements, and online sources, focusing on the years 1997 to 2018. The study analyzes the implementation of digital technologies and their effects on profitability and sustainability outcomes. The research results indicate positive results with sustainable firms able to beat the competition in the long-run, as demonstrated by Canon’s revenue of approximately $36 billion in 2018 alongside significant reductions in CO2 emissions by 435,000 tonnes and a reduction in raw material usage by 314,000 tonnes. Additionally, Canon’s social initiatives, such as the Miraisha Programme, underscore its commitment to inclusivity. This study highlights the multifaceted benefits of integrating digital technologies in manufacturing, offering insights for firms aiming to balance profitability with sustainability.</p> Rashid Shabir Abbasi Abdul Saboor Auns Azhar Sajid Khan Copyright (c) 2024 Rashid Shabir Abbasi; Abdul Saboor; Auns Azhar; Sajid Khan https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-12-30 2024-12-30 5 5 104 117 10.61242/ijabo.24.427 Skyrocketing Turnover of Spicy Food: The Effects of Spicy Flavor Image on Increased Revenue https://ijabo.a3i.or.id/index.php/ijabo/article/view/440 <p>This research explores how spicy flavors impact sales in the culinary industry. This research uses a descriptive quantitative approach to examine consumer preferences for spicy food in Bandung City. Data was collected through questionnaires given to 180 people to rate their preference for spicy food using a Likert scale. The results of this study show that the level of spiciness significantly influences the increase in sales in the culinary industry. Consumers in the current generation, especially Gen Z, tend to prefer spicy food, impacting their decision to purchase products and their loyalty. Psychological and cultural factors also affect heat preferences, suggesting that varying heat intensity may be a viable strategy for capturing consumer attention. The findings suggest that companies with a spicy flavor image can improve their competitiveness and increase sales by developing products and marketing strategies that match current consumer preferences.</p> Dea Septiani Rifky Muhammad Fachri Copyright (c) 2024 Dea Septiani, Rifky Muhammad Fachri https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-12-30 2024-12-30 5 5 93 103 10.61242/ijabo.24.440
