Summary: This study is the first empirical examination of the association between digital transformation and financial development. The results indicate that digitalization has positive influences on the development of financial markets and institutions, with digitalization in the business and public sector and individuals' digital skills playing crucial roles.

Summary: The essay argues that micro-CSR research, as currently conducted, cannot fully realize its transformative potential and serve social justice. This limitation arises from its predominant focus on companies' own definitions and promotion of corporate social responsibility, thus sustaining the hegemony of the business case for CSR and maintaining managerial control. The authors propose that micro-CSR researchers broaden the scope of their research to explore alternative ideas and activities in organizational life, in order to unlock the potential for transformative change.
