Studying and implementing green concepts and strategies has become a challenge for many organisations. Although, it is the primary aim of an organisation to maximise productivity and profits, environmentalist believe that using green concepts in manufacturing products should be assigned the same priority level. Automobile industry in India contributes significantly to its economy as well as provides employment to a large chunk of skilled manpower. Yet, if the industry does not follow the green standards and enabling technologies, it will ultimately accelerate environmental degradation. Government has an imperative role to ensure that the green strategies are implemented effectively. Green products can be recycled and the problem of disposal of wastes can be addressed. In this paper, enablers of Green Manufacturing have been identified and Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) approach has been applied to propose a hierarchical framework that can help the managers to implement the green concepts in Indian automobile industry with relative ease. The current research will help the managers to identify the key enablers of green manufacturing so that the products are manufactured without any ill effect on environment.
研究和实施环保概念和策略已成为许多机构面临的挑战。虽然最大限度地提高生产力和利润是一个组织的主要目标,但环保主义者认为,在制造产品时使用绿色概念应该被赋予同样的优先级别。印度的汽车工业对其经济做出了重大贡献,并为大量熟练劳动力提供了就业机会。然而,如果该行业不遵循绿色标准和使能技术,最终将加速环境恶化。政府在确保各项环保策略得以有效实施方面,担当重要角色。绿色产品可以回收利用,废弃物的处理问题可以得到解决。本文确定了绿色制造的推动因素,并应用解释结构建模(ISM)方法提出了一个层次框架,该框架可以帮助管理人员相对容易地在印度汽车工业中实施绿色概念。本文的研究将有助于管理者识别绿色制造的关键推动因素,从而使生产的产品对环境没有任何不良影响。

In this paper, we have discussed about economics and value chain for a medicinal plant Piper longum Linn. Cultivated by village-based marginal farmers from Odisha state of India, whose livelihoods are significantly supported by the commercial scale production of this plant. A field-based investigation was carried out in Koraput district of Odisha state of south east India, where a total of 250 households from eight villages were found engaged in the production of this medicinal plant species. We also carried out field survey in other places like Madgul in nearby Andhra Pradesh state and later in Delhi to analyse marketing and value chain of this plant at middlemen and wholesale dealer level respectively. The findings revealed that the primary and wholesale secondary markets are mostly dominated by the middlemen who cause inflated prices due to lack of competition in the medicinal plants value chain system. Some steps which need to be taken at the Central and State Governments level to improve upon the conditions of poor growers of this plant and for improved marketing of medicinal plants in the country have been suggested.
本文对药用植物龙舌兰的经济性和价值链进行了探讨。由印度奥里萨邦的农村边缘农民种植,这种植物的商业规模生产极大地支持了他们的生计。在印度东南部奥里萨邦的Koraput区进行了实地调查,发现来自八个村庄的250户家庭参与了这种药用植物的生产。我们还在其他地方进行了实地调查,如附近安得拉邦的马德古尔,以及后来在德里进行的实地调查,分别从中间商和批发经销商层面分析了该工厂的营销和价值链。研究结果表明,初级和批发二级市场主要由中间商主导,由于药用植物价值链系统缺乏竞争,中间商导致价格上涨。有人提出了需要在中央和州政府一级采取的一些步骤,以改善这种植物的贫困种植者的条件,并改善药用植物在该国的营销。

This empirical research was conducted to investigate the effect of entrepreneurial orientation on the uniqueness of green products and market performance through green exploitative and explorative product capabilities, explorative and exploitative market penetration, and examining the effect of the uniqueness of green products on market performance. The exploitation and exploration of green product capabilities was considered as the antecedents and postulated as the driver of the uniqueness of green products, while exploitative and explorative market penetration were considered as the antecedents of market effectiveness. The current study proposes nine hypotheses. The statistical output showed that all hypotheses significantly affect green product differentiation and market performance but explorative market penetration is proven insignificant for leveraging market effectiveness. Data was collected from 1300 respondents charged as operational, sales, and marketing managers in Indonesia and several other Southeast Asian countries. Data was analysed using SEM with AMOS Statistical Software. This research demonstrated that green exploration and exploitation approaches to new product development practices hold a strategic anchor for enhancing green product differentiation and market performance.
本实证研究通过绿色开发性和探索性产品能力、探索性和开发性市场渗透率,考察创业导向对绿色产品独特性和市场绩效的影响,并考察绿色产品独特性对市场绩效的影响。绿色产品能力的开发和探索被认为是绿色产品独特性的先决条件和驱动因素,而开发和探索性市场渗透被认为是市场有效性的先决条件。目前的研究提出了九个假设。统计结果表明,所有假设对绿色产品差异化和市场绩效都有显著影响,但探索性市场渗透对市场有效性的影响不显著。数据收集自1300名受访者,他们在印度尼西亚和其他几个东南亚国家担任运营、销售和营销经理。采用SEM和AMOS统计软件对数据进行分析。研究表明,新产品开发实践中的绿色探索和开发方法对提高绿色产品差异化和市场绩效具有战略锚定作用。

Sovereign wealth funds, shareholder activism and socially responsible investing: impact on corporate governance and sustainability 主权财富基金、股东行动主义和社会责任投资:对公司治理和可持续性的影响
Q2 Economics, Econometrics and Finance Pub Date : 2018-01-01 DOI: 10.1504/IJGE.2018.10018621

Institutional shareholder activism is usually discussed within the business. Sovereign wealth funds (SWFs), as long-term institutional investors, are stepping into the sustainable investment movement and corporate governance discussion. But studies, from the regulatory perspective, that discuss the SWFs' shareholder activism are scant. As shareholders of investee companies, SWFs theoretically can exert activism to influence corporate performance, while their inherent feature poses challenges to regulators of host countries. This paper aims to explore the story of SWF activism, and its impacts on corporate governance and business sustainability. It analyses approaches that SWFs can utilise and the status quo of SWF activism. The issues and benefits of SWF activism are briefly assessed. Regulatory supports concerning social activism, responsible investing and transparency are analysed. It suggests that to ensure the benefits of SWF activism and reduce concerns, it is necessary to promote soft law and regulatory measures regarding transparency and SWFs' shareholder rights.
机构股东激进主义通常在企业内部讨论。主权财富基金(SWFs)作为长期机构投资者,正在参与可持续投资运动和公司治理讨论。但从监管角度讨论主权财富基金股东维权行为的研究很少。主权财富基金作为被投资企业的股东,理论上可以运用行动主义影响企业绩效,但其固有的特点给东道国监管机构带来了挑战。本文旨在探讨主权财富基金行动主义的故事,及其对公司治理和业务可持续性的影响。它分析了主权财富基金可以利用的方法以及主权财富基金激进主义的现状。本文简要地评估了主权财富基金行动主义的问题和好处。对社会行动主义、负责任投资和透明度方面的监管支持进行了分析。报告建议,为了确保主权财富基金激进主义的好处并减少担忧,有必要推动有关透明度和主权财富基金股东权利的软法律和监管措施。

Externalising the energy law: the domestic impact beyond the current domain of the European Union 能源法外部化:欧盟范围以外的国内影响
Q2 Economics, Econometrics and Finance Pub Date : 2018-01-01 DOI: 10.1504/IJGE.2018.10018622

While the European Union's (EU) historic inward-looking energy policy is rapidly shifting through extending the application of energy law to non-EU countries, there has not been much academic focus on this phenomenon yet. Most of the scholarly work is still related to the developments at the European level and does not include the wider extraterritorial effect of EU energy acquis in neighbouring countries. The underlying objective of this paper is to address this deficit by analysing the domestic impact that the EU energy law has outside its bounds. The case of Georgia is referred in this context to enrich the paper with practical examples and study the consequences of EU energy normative power within the eastern Europeanisation framework.
虽然欧盟(EU)历史性的内向型能源政策正在通过将能源法的适用范围扩大到非欧盟国家而迅速转变,但学术界对这一现象的关注还不多。大多数学术工作仍然与欧洲层面的发展有关,而不包括欧盟在邻国获得能源的更广泛的域外影响。本文的基本目标是通过分析欧盟能源法在其范围之外对国内的影响来解决这一赤字。在此背景下,格鲁吉亚的案例被提及,以丰富论文的实际例子,并研究欧盟能源规范性权力在东欧化框架内的后果。

Private responsibilities in the protection of the environment: how to involve SMEs in participatory regulations? 环境保护中的私人责任:如何让中小企业参与到参与式法规中?
Q2 Economics, Econometrics and Finance Pub Date : 2018-01-01 DOI: 10.1504/IJGE.2018.10018625

The EU provides for a number of self-regulatory and participative instruments in environmental legislation. While Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) represent 99.8% of the European industrial population, they often lack resources and exposure to the public, limiting their determination to get involved in participatory environmental regulations. Therefore, European regulatory instruments are not yet an effective response to such issues. This article analyses European environmental participation in the industry sector and assesses the incentives and challenges for SMEs. Taking the EMAS Regulation as an example, the analysis aims to show that small companies need more specific regulatory attention and that their participation in the market shall be guided by direct and targeted action of public authorities.
欧盟在环境立法方面规定了一些自我监管和参与性的文书。虽然中小型企业(SMEs)占欧洲工业人口的99.8%,但他们往往缺乏资源和公众曝光,限制了他们参与参与性环境法规的决心。因此,欧洲的监管工具还不是对这些问题的有效回应。本文分析了欧洲工业部门的环境参与,并评估了中小企业的激励和挑战。以EMAS法规为例,分析旨在表明小企业需要更具体的监管关注,其参与市场需要公共当局直接和有针对性的行动指导。

This study investigates whether the observed reduction in energy intensity in Nigeria between 1970 and 2014 will be sustainable, given a possible tie between energy and output and whether de-intensification or de-carbonisation will be a more sustainable approach to ensuring greener growth in Nigeria. Using time series data on real GDP, energy use, and carbon emission obtained from the Global Economic Monitor (GEM) from 1970 to 2014, results of correlation, copula, cointegration, and Granger causality as well as impulse response analyses show evidence of a weak positive tie between energy and growth for Nigeria, and that de-carbonisation is more sustainable in the short term while de-intensification is more sustainable in the longer term. This study concludes that de-carbonisation and de-intensification policies should be adopted in the short term and in the longer term, respectively, in pursuing greener growth in Nigeria.
考虑到能源和产出之间可能存在的联系,本研究调查了尼日利亚在1970年至2014年期间观察到的能源强度降低是否可持续,以及去集约化或去碳化是否将是确保尼日利亚更绿色增长的更可持续的方法。利用1970年至2014年全球经济监测(GEM)获得的实际GDP、能源使用和碳排放的时间序列数据,相关、联结、协整和格兰杰因果关系以及脉冲响应分析的结果显示,尼日利亚的能源与增长之间存在微弱的正相关关系,并且去碳化在短期内更具可持续性,而去集约化在长期内更具可持续性。本研究的结论是,在尼日利亚追求绿色增长的过程中,短期和长期应分别采取去碳化和去集约化政策。

Within the legal framework of European for-profit companies, this paper examines the role that corporate law can play in preventing environmental damages. It begins with an analysis of the main 'benefits' and 'costs' that corporate directors consider when engaging in environmental risk management: improving business reputation to attract sensitive consumers and investors, and accessing green financing or green public procurement, on the one side; the risk of liability lawsuits, higher costs of credit, a decrease of stock market price and an increase of insurance premiums, on the other side. The paper then turns to the internal dynamics of corporations, developing three different categories of environmental risks and related different corporate attitudes. On the basis of this tripartition, the paper suggests specific corporate governance mechanisms that can be adopted to manage the risk of environmental damages in a more effective, and less costly, manner.
在欧洲营利性公司的法律框架内,本文考察了公司法在防止环境损害方面可以发挥的作用。首先分析了公司董事在进行环境风险管理时考虑的主要“收益”和“成本”:一方面,提高企业声誉以吸引敏感的消费者和投资者,获得绿色融资或绿色公共采购;另一方面,责任诉讼的风险、更高的信贷成本、股票市场价格的下跌和保险费的增加。然后,本文转向企业的内部动态,发展了三种不同类型的环境风险和相关的不同企业态度。在此基础上,本文提出了具体的公司治理机制,可以采用更有效、成本更低的方式来管理环境损害风险。

Environmental performance of OPEC countries: addressing the role of gross domestic product, energy consumption, trade openness and industrial structure 石油输出国组织国家的环境表现:处理国内生产总值、能源消费、贸易开放和工业结构的作用

Based on the Kuznets's environmental theory, we examine the effect on carbon dioxide (CO2) emission of gross domestic product (GDP), energy consumption, trade openness, and industrial structure in OPEC countries during 1974-2013, using the Full Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS) method. We find that GDP, energy consumption, and industrial structure have positive effects on CO2 emission. The GDP squared, however, negatively affects CO2, although the effect is small. The positive effect of GDP but negative effect of GDP squared validates the environmental Kuznets curve for OPEC countries. In addition, we find that an increase in trade openness leads to decrease in CO2 emission. Using the panel vector error correction model (VECM) and Granger causality test, we confirm that long-run causality is supported for all of our equations. We also find bi-directional short-run causality between energy consumption and CO2 emission and between energy consumption and industrial structure. Moreover, we find one-way causality running from energy consumption to GDP, from CO2 emission to trade openness, from GDP to trade openness, and from GDP to emission.
基于库兹涅茨的环境理论,采用完全修正普通最小二乘(FMOLS)方法,研究了1974-2013年欧佩克成员国国内生产总值(GDP)、能源消费、贸易开放程度和产业结构对二氧化碳排放的影响。研究发现,GDP、能源消费和产业结构对CO2排放有正向影响。然而,GDP的平方对二氧化碳有负影响,尽管影响很小。GDP的正效应和GDP平方的负效应验证了OPEC国家的环境库兹涅茨曲线。此外,我们发现贸易开放程度的提高导致二氧化碳排放量的减少。利用面板向量误差修正模型(VECM)和格兰杰因果检验,我们证实了我们所有的方程都支持长期因果关系。我们还发现了能源消费与二氧化碳排放、能源消费与产业结构之间的双向短期因果关系。此外,从能源消费到GDP、从二氧化碳排放到贸易开放、从GDP到贸易开放、从GDP到排放,我们发现了单向因果关系。

We find that GDP, energy consumption, and industrial structure have positive effects on CO2 emission. The GDP squared, however, negatively affects CO2, although the effect is small. The positive effect of GDP but negative effect of GDP squared validates the environmental Kuznets curve for OPEC countries. In addition, we find that an increase in trade openness leads to decrease in CO2 emission. Using the panel vector error correction model (VECM) and Granger causality test, we confirm that long-run causality is supported for all of our equations. We also find bi-directional short-run causality between energy consumption and CO2 emission and between energy consumption and industrial structure. Moreover, we find one-way causality running from energy consumption to GDP, from CO2 emission to trade openness, from GDP to trade openness, and from GDP to emission.","PeriodicalId":35060,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Green Economics","volume":"12 1","pages":"258"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66808320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Owing to increase in environmental pollution, consumers are now more conscious about the environment and are willing to save the environment. The present research attempts to find out the relationship between environmental consciousness and green purchase behaviour among youth. A survey was administered among the young male and female consumers between the ages of 15-29 years. The consumers were surveyed on their green purchase behaviour, environmental concern, environmental attitude, recycling behaviour and political behaviour. Regression analysis was applied to evaluate the data. Environmental attitude has become one of the most important predictor for analysing the green purchase behaviour of young females. Recycling and political action are the most important predictor for young males green purchase behaviour.
由于环境污染的增加,消费者现在更加注重环境,愿意拯救环境。本研究试图找出青少年环境意识与绿色购买行为之间的关系。在15-29岁的年轻男女消费者中进行了一项调查。调查了消费者的绿色购买行为、环境关注、环保态度、回收行为和政治行为。采用回归分析对资料进行评价。环境态度已成为分析年轻女性绿色购买行为最重要的预测因子之一。回收和政治行动是年轻男性绿色购买行为最重要的预测因素。
