In the overlapping context of local culture and the digital economy, combining career assessment tools with the logic of e-commerce platforms is becoming an important direction for improving career guidance and person–job matching services. This paper adopts a design science research approach and takes a WeChat mini-program–based intelligent career assessment e-commerce platform as its artefact. It proposes a three-stage practice framework moving from demand scenarios to system architecture and then to prototype validation. First, based on interviews and field observation, platform demand is structured into three representative scenarios educational progression, career adjustment, and institutional projects and corresponding assessment products and service bundles are designed. Second, following the idea of “assessment system + order system + channel system”, a minimal yet complete platform prototype is implemented that integrates online assessment, automatic report generation, QR-code key activation, institutional back-end management, and basic channel analytics. Third, using small-sample pilot data (each project with fewer than 80 participants) from two schools and one career-education institution, the study calculates key indicators such as activation rate, completion rate, paid conversion rate, and self-reported decision clarity, and briefly illustrates how the platform is used in typical situations. Results suggest that the proposed platform design is technically feasible and operationally valuable for improving user self-understanding, service delivery efficiency, and channel conversion, while also revealing room for improvement in report expression, user journey design, and stakeholder incentives. The contribution of this study lies mainly in offering an actionable, mid-level pathway from local career assessment models to a workable minimum viable product, and in providing a structured blueprint for institutions planning similar platforms.

This study investigates the role of ESG-driven innovation as a strategic source of competitive advantage in the banking sector, with a comparative focus on state-owned and private banks across emerging and developed markets. Drawing on the Resource-Based View and Dynamic Capabilities theory, it develops a novel ESG Innovation Index that captures the depth and integration of sustainability technologies, such as AI-based ESG analytics, carbon tracking platforms, and digital reporting systems into core banking functions. Using a panel dataset of 68 banks from Central Asia and benchmark economies (2015–2024), the study employs fixed-effects and system GMM models to assess the impact of ESG innovation on profitability (ROA, ROE), operational efficiency, market share, and investor attractiveness. Results reveal that ESG innovation significantly enhances financial and operational performance, while the magnitude of its impact is substantially higher among private banks. The findings highlight that ownership structure moderates the innovation–performance nexus, with private banks leveraging technological agility for greater returns, whereas state-owned banks tend to pursue compliance-oriented sustainability agendas. The research contributes to strategic management and sustainable finance literature by framing ESG innovation as a contingent dynamic capability and offers policy insights for regulators seeking to balance innovation incentives across ownership types.
