Greenwashing is more virulent than ever. A profusion of ESG and net zero commitments are becoming fraught with questionable and misleading claims. At the same time, we are no closer to solving the pressing environmental and social issues of our time. In this review we seek to examine this shift and summarize changes in greenwash research across time into a framework, identifying three key phases: 1.0 Where We Started; 2.0 Where We Are; and, 3.0 Where Next? We analyze current key areas of developing literature and point to numerous open questions for future research. Next, we go beyond much of the published work to examine emerging issues and lay out a forward-looking agenda for future research. We also propose a model of Corporate Miscommunication, integrating various streams in greenwash research. In doing so, we seek to lay a pathway for greenwashing researchers to finally find that elusive “end” to greenwashing

This research proposes a novel conceptual distinction between two motivations of online communication – social motivation and informational motivation – and tests five linguistic features characterizing user-generated content that was posted driven predominantly by one of these two motivations. We employed an open-source text analysis tool to analyze real-world and experimentally obtained datasets and supported our theory by experimentally manipulating motivation and measuring linguistic outcomes. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Breakthrough (high-impact) innovation often happens at startups, which need to attract funding in the early stages of these high-risk/high-reward projects. Extant research argues that investors lack appetite for the high risk; I argue that assessing the high reward is also challenging, since the invention could develop into innovation along multiple technological trajectories of different value. I develop the theory of value translation, a theoretical framework to analyze how the knowledge of investor and startup and the characteristics of the innovation affect the decision to fund the project. The investor and startup need to map and evaluate all possible trajectories to understand which has maximum value—loosely defined as financial, strategic, scientific, or societal. Mapping the technological trajectories, however, requires that one organization possess both knowledge about the science and technology, in order to understand which trajectories are feasible, and knowledge about the commercialization, in order to understand which trajectories are valuable. Startups tend to have more scientific/technological knowledge, and investors more commercialization knowledge. With incomplete knowledge, there is a dual bounded rationality problem: fewer trajectories are mapped, leading to a gap in valuation. This gap, or the value translation problem, is exacerbated for novel or complex innovations, which have greater knowledge requirements. Breakthrough innovation may indeed be underfunded and the theory points to a potential solution: organizations armed with knowledge of business and science can bridge the gap. This theory is inspired by fifteen interviews with life sciences investors and startups.

An ongoing debate in the field of strategic human capital is whether high levels of firm-specific human capital decrease or increase employee mobility. Some argue that firm-specific human capital limits employment options, thus reducing mobility, while others argue that it should increase mobility because a signal of employees’ willingness to make such investments is broadly valuable. Empirical findings using tenure as a measure provided mixed results. Addressing the puzzle, this paper suggests that whether firm-specific human capital decreases or increases employee mobility depends on the extent to which an employee’s current firm relies on team production to generate economic value. Analysis of linked employer-employee data on 1,024 R&D workers in acquired firms provides support for this idea. Implications for human capital theory are discussed.

How do firms change their labor market strategies in response to immigration policy? Using high frequency data on over 200 million online job postings, I analyze firms' labor market response to the passing of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) in 2012. I first use American Community Survey data and find that DACA triggers upward mobility among eligible recipients. In addition, post the DACA announcement, firms increase the number of job postings in counties that are more exposed to DACA eligible undocumented immigrants, especially for low-skilled jobs requiring less complex problem solving skills, jobs that require only high-school degrees, and part-time jobs. These effects are most prominent among financially constrained firms and those that express greater concerns about immigration in conference calls. The effects on firm skill downgrading are only significant among states that have better worker protection, with no enacted Right-to-Work laws, and those that grant easier access to higher education for DACA recipients. My results highlight the impacts of immigration policy on firms' labor market strategies and the corresponding implications for firms' financial constraints.

Despite the importance of process innovation in fostering supply chain competitiveness, existing studies primarily emphasize product innovation and overlook institutional environments. This study builds on the dyadic capability-based view and institutional theory to investigate how buyer’s and supplier’s technological capabilities jointly affect supply chain process innovation in China. We differentiate between two distinct dimensions, technological capability strength and technological capability asymmetry, and propose that technological capability strength negatively influences supply chain process innovation whereas technological capability asymmetry promotes such innovation. We also examine how formal (i.e., government intervention) and informal (i.e., guanxi importance) institutional factors moderate the effects of technological capability strength and asymmetry on supply chain process innovation. Empirical analyses based on 157 buyer–supplier dyads in China offer strong support for our hypotheses, which provide important implications for the supply chain innovation collaboration literature and managerial practice.
