This paper sets out to contribute to the literature by investigating the institutional arrangements facing investors in Russia, the extent to which they had been reformed, and the resultant impact on the willingness of foreign-owned TNCs to commit inbound foreign direct investment (IFDI) to this high-risk transition economy. The degree to which institutional factors explain Russia's persistent underperformance in terms of IFDI is assessed through the review of the academic literature and other documentary sources. Making use of the corruption perception index, ease of doing business, world governance indicators and index of economic freedom (IEF) data, we analyse the provenance of Russia's IFDI-related institutional reforms since the late 1990s until the end of 2013. Given the international isolation of Russia after its annexation of the Crimea and the collapse of the oil price, the paper argues that in order to achieve a sustainable economic development, the Russian Government must implement substantial shifts in the design and functioning of its national institutions.
本文打算通过调查投资者在俄罗斯面临的制度安排、改革的程度以及由此产生的对外资跨国公司向这一高风险转型经济承诺入境外国直接投资(IFDI)意愿的影响,为文献作出贡献。通过对学术文献和其他文献资料的回顾,可以评估制度因素在多大程度上解释了俄罗斯在国际直接投资方面的持续表现不佳。利用腐败感知指数、营商便利度、世界治理指标和经济自由指数(IEF)数据,我们分析了自20世纪90年代末至2013年底俄罗斯与国际投资相关的制度改革的来源。鉴于俄罗斯在吞并克里米亚和石油价格暴跌后在国际上受到孤立,本文认为,为了实现可持续的经济发展,俄罗斯政府必须在其国家机构的设计和运作方面实施重大转变。

This study of the shale gas production industry in the North-Eastern USA empirically tests the role organisational characteristics, such as firm environmental record and public visibility, play in influencing the level of pressure placed on these firms by institutional stakeholders for a more sustainable approach to their development activities. To my knowledge, no prior study explored the role of these organisational characteristics; their influence has so far only been stipulated in theoretical arguments in the organisational business literature. The research design integrates data obtained from company databases, publicly available firm documents and websites, violations data, as well as online regional news sources. Findings indicate that publicly reported environmental indiscretions as well as increased public visibility lead companies to more broadly recognise institutional stakeholders including non-governmental organisations (NGOs), regulators, the media, industry groups, competitors and local communities. However, a somewhat unexpected result was that companies with fewer regulatory violations acknowledge more institutional stakeholders.
这项对美国东北部页岩气生产行业的研究,从经验上检验了组织特征(如公司的环境记录和公众知名度)在影响机构利益相关者对这些公司施加压力的程度方面所起的作用,这些压力是为了对其开发活动采取更可持续的方法。据我所知,之前没有研究探讨过这些组织特征的作用;到目前为止,它们的影响只在组织商业文献的理论论证中得到了规定。研究设计整合了从公司数据库、公开的公司文件和网站、违规数据以及在线区域新闻来源获得的数据。调查结果表明,公开报道的环境轻率行为以及公众知名度的提高使公司更广泛地认识到机构利益相关者,包括非政府组织(ngo)、监管机构、媒体、行业团体、竞争对手和当地社区。然而,一个有点出乎意料的结果是,违反监管规定较少的公司承认更多的机构利益相关者。

From a strategic point of view it makes good sense for companies to respond to concerns and stakes espoused by key holders - also in relation to environmental issues. Thus, it is relevant to identify patterns in company's perception of these behavioural drivers and how they try to influence stakeholders when communicating their environmental concern. This is the focus of this paper based on data from two different studies: 1) a questionnaire-based survey distributed to a sample of industrial companies in Denmark in 1995, 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2011 focusing on their response to the environmental challenge; 2) an interview-based study of CSR activities in Danish SMEs in 2007. The paper concludes that despite the apparent strategic attractiveness of self-regulation, the major influence on environmental related behaviour in SMEs seems to originate from stakeholders representing regulatory factors and they tend not to communicate strategically about their activities.
从战略的角度来看,公司对主要股东的关注和利益做出回应是很有意义的——也与环境问题有关。因此,确定公司对这些行为驱动因素的感知模式以及他们在传达其环境关注时如何试图影响利益相关者是相关的。这是本文基于两项不同研究数据的重点:1)在1995年,1999年,2003年,2007年和2011年对丹麦工业公司样本进行问卷调查,重点关注他们对环境挑战的反应;2) 2007年丹麦中小企业社会责任活动的访谈研究。本文的结论是,尽管自我监管具有明显的战略吸引力,但对中小企业环境相关行为的主要影响似乎来自代表监管因素的利益相关者,他们倾向于不就其活动进行战略沟通。

The purpose of the present study is to conduct a review of the literature on the relation between corporate sustainability performance and firm performance. In this study corporate sustainability performance and firm performance measurement has been divided into different categories. Only empirical studies have been selected for the review. Research articles are classified based on certain measurement categories. Findings of this study suggest a positive relation between corporate sustainability performance and firm performance. Firm size and industry are the control variables used by the maximum number of studies. The results of the study support the fact of doing well pay well. The association between corporate sustainability performance and firm performance is an issue of ongoing debate among scholars and practitioners. This debate is supported by various ethical, religious, and emotional facts. The importance of this issue is major driven power of the empirical studies in this field of research. The positive relation between corporate sustainability performance and firm performance may be an important motivating factor for the practitioners to contribute more towards sustainable development. Results of this study will help both practitioners and academicians those are conducting research in the field of corporate sustainability performance measurement.
本研究的目的是对企业可持续发展绩效与企业绩效之间关系的文献进行综述。在本研究中,将企业可持续发展绩效和企业绩效测量分为不同的类别。仅选择了实证研究进行审查。研究文章是根据一定的测量类别进行分类的。研究结果表明,企业可持续发展绩效与企业绩效之间存在正相关关系。最大数量的研究使用了企业规模和行业作为控制变量。这项研究的结果支持了工作做得好,收入也高的事实。企业可持续发展绩效与企业绩效之间的关系是学者和从业者之间持续争论的问题。这场辩论得到了各种伦理、宗教和情感事实的支持。这一问题的重要性是推动这一领域实证研究的主要动力。企业可持续发展绩效与企业绩效之间的正相关关系可能是激励从业者为可持续发展做出更大贡献的重要因素。本研究的结果将有助于在企业可持续发展绩效评估领域进行研究的从业者和学者。

The increasing interest in both practice and scholarship is facilitating the ongoing research on corporate sustainability. The aim of this paper is to investigate the influence of organisational ambexterity (OA) and organisational change for sustainability (OCS) in achieving corporate sustainability (CS) and in turn contributing to the organisational effectiveness. In addition to the above mentioned direct relationships, the study further explores the interaction effects of the moderating variables such as employee integration (EI) and resource endowments (RE). The study is undertaken in the context of select pharmaceutical companies in India with a sample size of 245 respondents. Structural equation modelling was used as a method for the statistical validation of the latent constructs. The key finding of the study reveals that OA, OCS significantly predicts and also explains the variability of the latent constructs CS and OE.
对实践和学术的兴趣日益增加,促进了对企业可持续发展的研究。本文的目的是研究组织两性(OA)和组织可持续性变革(OCS)在实现企业可持续性(CS)方面的影响,进而促进组织有效性。除了上述直接关系外,本研究还进一步探讨了员工整合度(EI)和资源禀赋(RE)等调节变量的交互作用。该研究是在印度选定制药公司的背景下进行的,样本量为245名受访者。使用结构方程模型作为潜在构念的统计验证方法。本研究的主要发现表明,OA、OCS显著预测并解释了潜在构念CS和OE的变异性。

Complementary assets for effective pollution prevention strategy 有效防止污染策略的互补资产
Pub Date : 2015-07-31 DOI: 10.1504/IJSSM.2014.070857
B. K. Verma, S. Sangle
Pollution prevention strategy is considered as the first strategy to be implemented to deliver sustainable value to achieve cost advantages and reduced exposure to litigation risk in shorter term. The paper presents the detailed empirical study of 60 Indian firms which have implemented this strategy. These firms are chosen from several industrial sectors responsible to deteriorating condition of natural environment. This work helps to identify attributes of innovative capability as complementary assets of an organisation to implement this strategy successfully. The result shows that 'business process' innovativeness and 'behavioural' innovativeness characteristics of innovative capability are required by firms to successfully implement pollution prevention strategy. Development of these traits shall initiate a firm on path of sustainability to deliver sustainable value and to prepare them well against its competitors of industry. Based on the research findings, the paper proposes some important managerial implications to grab the 'low hanging fruit' of pollution prevention strategy.
防止污染策略被认为是首先要实施的策略,以提供可持续的价值,以实现成本优势,并在短期内减少诉讼风险。本文对60家实施这一战略的印度企业进行了详细的实证研究。这些公司是从几个对自然环境恶化负有责任的工业部门中挑选出来的。这项工作有助于识别创新能力的属性,作为组织成功实施该战略的补充资产。结果表明,企业成功实施污染防治战略需要创新能力的“业务流程”创新性和“行为”创新性特征。这些特征的发展将启动一个可持续发展的道路上的公司,以提供可持续的价值,并做好准备,以对抗其行业的竞争对手。根据研究结果,本文提出了一些重要的管理启示,以抓住污染防治战略的“唾手可得”。

Offshore outsourcing has become a primary tool to gain a competitive edge in almost every sector of the global environment, including for-profit and not-for-profit enterprises. An alternative to offshore outsourcing known as rural sourcing has begun to gain traction, particularly in the USA. This new model is chronicled in a non-profit, governmental arena, where the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles has successfully transitioned its 100-employee call centre from a metropolitan area to a rural area.
离岸外包已经成为在全球环境的几乎每一个部门获得竞争优势的主要工具,包括营利性和非营利性企业。一种被称为农村采购的离岸外包替代方案已经开始获得吸引力,特别是在美国。这种新模式被记录在一个非盈利的政府领域,北卡罗来纳汽车部门已经成功地将其100名员工的呼叫中心从大都市地区转移到农村地区。

The recent flurry of sustainable development activity gives researchers an unparalleled opportunity to explore a sweeping societal phenomenon and its complex implications to the firm. This paper addresses the factors that contribute to intrafirm complexity such that they inhibit the execution of sustainable development initiatives. Unlike other papers, this research goes beyond simply analysing the adoption of sustainable development. This paper uses the perspective and actions of individuals to address the barriers that forestall the execution of sustainable development initiatives in the day-to-day operations of the firm. Through the application of the legitimacy judgment cycle, the paper develops nine propositions that address these barriers. Using published case studies for illustration and support, this paper provides researchers propositions that can be studied empirically and provides practitioners managerial implications that can assist in the day-to-day operations of the firm.
最近一系列可持续发展活动为研究人员提供了一个前所未有的机会来探索一个广泛的社会现象及其对公司的复杂影响。本文阐述了导致企业内部复杂性的因素,这些因素抑制了可持续发展计划的执行。与其他论文不同,本研究超越了简单地分析可持续发展的采用。本文使用个人的观点和行动来解决在公司日常运营中阻碍可持续发展举措执行的障碍。通过合法性判断周期的应用,本文提出了九个解决这些障碍的命题。本文利用已发表的案例研究作为例证和支持,为研究人员提供了可以进行实证研究的命题,并为从业人员提供了有助于公司日常运营的管理启示。

Relative effect of geographic context and international strategic approach on sustainability management 地理环境与国际战略方法对可持续发展管理的相对影响
Pub Date : 2014-08-20 DOI: 10.1504/IJSSM.2014.064355

Organisations around the world are increasingly factoring in environmental and social demands as they strive to achieve enduring success beyond near-term financial returns. Only partially understood are the ways that organisations manage sustainability based on geographic location and multinational standardisation. This study analysed a worldwide survey of managers (N = 1,514) to compare across borders their perceptions of sustainability-related external influences, internal inhibitors, internal enabling factors, decision drivers, practices, and operating performance. Guided by an existing integrative model combining these factors, this paper analysed variation across geographic region, country-wide sustainability conditions, and level of economic development. Corporate sustainability motives, practices, and benefits do vary significantly across geographic contexts, but organisation size and strategy of operating as a national, multi-local, or global firm make an even bigger difference. Further research is suggested to deepen these findings.
世界各地的组织在努力实现短期财务回报之外的持久成功时,越来越多地考虑到环境和社会需求。人们对组织基于地理位置和跨国标准化管理可持续性的方式只有部分理解。本研究分析了一项对全球管理者(N = 1,514)的调查,以比较他们对与可持续性相关的外部影响、内部抑制因素、内部促成因素、决策驱动因素、实践和运营绩效的看法。在现有的综合模型的指导下,本文分析了不同地理区域、全国可持续性条件和经济发展水平的差异。企业可持续发展的动机、实践和效益在不同的地理环境下确实存在显著差异,但作为一个全国性、多地方或全球性公司的组织规模和运营策略会产生更大的差异。建议进一步研究以深化这些发现。

The balance between reasonable return on investment and long-term organisational viability has fuelled a significant amount of research to evaluate the effectiveness of corporate sustainability strategies. Several factors influence the relationship between a firm’s performance and its sustainable development strategies, and there is no clear ‘line of sight’ between performance and strategic behaviour. Most theoretical attempts to describe the relationship have concluded that there is insufficient evidence to produce robust conclusions for general guidance. Using a meta-analysis methodology, this article evaluates the aggregated performance outcomes of different corporate sustainability strategies that draw on data from 18 studies and more than 20,000 firms. The findings indicate a medium to strong positive relationship between sustainability-oriented strategies and a firm’s ‘triple bottom line’. Additionally, proactive sustainability-oriented strategies tend to result in higher payoff.
合理的投资回报和长期组织生存能力之间的平衡推动了大量的研究来评估企业可持续发展战略的有效性。有几个因素影响着企业绩效与其可持续发展战略之间的关系,并且绩效与战略行为之间没有明确的“视线”。大多数描述这种关系的理论尝试都得出这样的结论:没有足够的证据来得出具有普遍指导意义的有力结论。本文采用荟萃分析方法,利用来自18项研究和20,000多家公司的数据,评估了不同企业可持续发展战略的总体绩效结果。研究结果表明,以可持续发展为导向的战略与公司的“三重底线”之间存在中等到强烈的正相关关系。此外,积极主动的可持续发展导向策略往往会带来更高的回报。
