Giới thiệu: The iSAGE – Sustainability, Analytics & Governance for Enterprises Research Group examines how data-driven analytics and digital technologies can enhance responsible governance, sustainable value creation, and strategic transformation across organizations. Grounded in accounting, finance, and strategic management, the group focuses on how financial, non-financial, and ESG-related data are generated, analyzed, and integrated into organizational decision-making to improve transparency, performance, and long-term resilience. The research agenda is structured around three interrelated pillars. First, the group advances research on sustainability and ESG analytics, emphasizing measurement frameworks, reporting quality, assurance practices, and the integration of sustainability indicators into financial analysis, risk management, and performance evaluation. This stream addresses persistent challenges related to data reliability, comparability, and decision usefulness, with particular relevance for emerging and transitional economies.
Second, the group investigates digital transformation and applied data analytics, focusing on how digital platforms, automation, artificial intelligence, and advanced analytics reshape operational efficiency, innovation capacity, and organizational adaptability. Research outputs prioritize practical relevance through industry collaboration, the development of transferable analytical models, and scalable decision-support tools. Third, the group emphasizes societal and policy impact by translating empirical findings into evidence-based frameworks that inform regulators, policymakers, and institutional stakeholders in the design of effective governance systems, ESG regulations, and digital transformation strategies. Over the 2026–2031 period, the iSAGE aims to produce high-quality peer-reviewed publications, secure competitive research funding, and strengthen postgraduate training and research capacity. In parallel, the group prioritizes applied impact through technology transfer, commercialization of research-based solutions, and sustained collaboration with industry and government partners. Ultimately, the iSAGE seeks to establish a robust platform for future research centers and interdisciplinary initiatives aligned with national and regional sustainability and digital innovation agendas.
