Algorithmic Governance and Ethical Risk Frameworks in Sustainable Supply Chain Automation

Dr. Md. Saidur Rahaman • Dr. Md. Solaiman Chowdhury • CISR Journal of Innovation and Technology • 2026

Through in-depth narrative inquiry and phenomenological interviews with 64 rural women enterprise founders across northwestern Bangladesh, this study theorizes how social businesses bridge institutional voids. The empirical findings reveal that peer-to-peer cooperative mentoring and digital mobile payment adoption generate a resilient buffer against debt traps, elevating household reinvestment rates by 38.6%.
