“…The research of a second group of authors is focused on the relationship between strategic alliance characteristics and profitability (Zollo, Reuer and Singh, 2002;Lu and Beamish, 2006). Finally, the largest number of studies aim to answer which strategic alliance characteristics affect the profitability of the alliance members and in what way (Bae and Gargiulo, 2004;Lee, 2007;Goerzen, 2007;Luo, Rindfleisch and Tse, 2007;Antoncic and Prodan, 2008;Lin, Yang and Arya, 2009). While revealing a substantial amount of information about the impact of strategic alliances on firm performance, existing studies are mostly based on simple analytical methods that question the validity of their findings.…”

Strategic alliances in the retail sector are based on cooperation in a variety of activities, ranging from supply and marketing to knowledge sharing and branding. For their members, they are a source of sustainable competitive advantage. Ever since the 1990s, a growing number of firms from the retail sector have attempted to improve their performance through participation in strategic alliances. The objective of this paper is to explore how participation in strategic alliances influences profitability of firms in the retail sector. A dynamic panel analysis is applied to the data on nearly 3,700 firms obtained from Amadeus, a large firm-level database, for eight countries (Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland, Hungary and Estonia) for the 2007-2012 period. The results of the investigation suggest that participation in strategic alliances positively influences a firm's performance.

“…Using these studies as the basis, we measured EP using two items: environmental certifications and self-evaluation of EP over the past 5 years. Similarly, based on the previous studies (Darnall et al 2008;Tanriverdi and Lee 2008;Antoncic and Prodan 2008), FP has also been measured by self-evaluated measures of sales growth and improvement in market share. We prefer to call this construct as FP rather than financial performance because these are selfevaluated items using a Likert scale rather than objective financial measures (such as return on assets).…”

Understanding Complexity: the Curvilinear Relationship Between Environmental Performance and Firm Performance

The nature of the relationship between environmental performance (EP) and firm performance (FP) of corporations is a long standing and contentious issue in the literature. This study is intended to advance this debate by arguing for the existence of curvilinear relationship and empirically testing the same using survey data on UK manufacturing firms. FP is captured in terms of growth in sales and market share. Our results show evidence for a quadratic relationship-as firms improve their EP, they seem to achieve much higher levels of FP. These results are consistent with the resource-based view of a firm; as firms engage in EP activities, they are able to gain inimitable knowledge that helps in further learning to further improve performance. Based on our results, we suggest that new studies focus on strategies to extend the period of increasing returns and maximizing the benefits of the positive association between EP and FP.

“…Growth was measured as the average annual growth of total assets in the period between 2003 and 2006 and as the average annual growth of the sales income in the same period (Antončič & Prodan, 2008).…”
