“…Existing research on climate change has tended to focus on the operation of markets for carbon trading (e.g. Veal & Mouzas, 2011) and companies' individual responses (e.g. Okereke, 2007).…”

“…Financial resources (capital), physical resources (time, technologies, people) and informational resources (knowledge) are required to develop beneficial outcomes within interactions (Ford & Mouzas, 2010, 2013Ritter & Gemünden, 2003). Thirdly, structure and design of rules of the game can influence the way that actors interact with each other (Felin, Foss, Heimeriks, & Madsen, 2012;Veal & Mouzas, 2011). Nonetheless, business actors may elaborate responses that have an effect on the creation of new rules.…”

“…In line with the nature of semistructured interviews, these questions aimed to cover some general areas of interest for the researchers and were slightly different in all interviews. The data sources have been logged in a library of case documents to capture all relevant material (Veal & Mouzas, 2011). This process enabled handling multiple sources of evidence (Bennet & Elman, 2006;Numamgami, 1998).…”

a b s t r a c tThe urgent need to combat climate change is now globally accepted. Collective action at a global level is the key ability to respond to the threat of climate change. No individual company alone has the necessary resources and capabilities to tackle the unprecedented challenge of climate change. Companies need to engage in give-and-take exchange relationships with other companies to address climate change. Research on how companies interact with each of their counterparts to respond to the challenge of climate change is limited. Existing research on climate raises questions about 1) how companies interact in response to climate change and 2) why companies fail to craft collective responses to climate change? In an attempt to shed light on these questions, we use the network approach as a theoretical perspective to account for the ever increasing connectivity and interdependence in the business landscape and theorize on the consequences these phenomena may have for the study. The study is based upon an empirical investigation of public-private networks in Germany. Findings indicate that companies fail to collectively respond to climate change due to the multiplicity of interests of actors involved in the network which is aggravated by 1) economic reasoning; 2) weak actor bonds; and 3) differing perceptions of the rules of the game. As such, the present study contributes to our understanding of collective responses to the ever evolving challenge of climate change.

“…Результатом осознания руководством страны данной проблемы стала современная экономическая модель государственного регулирования, которая является итогом продолжительной работы, направленной на реализацию подходов, призванных ослабить избыточное регулирование при начале и осуществлении предпринимательской деятельности, а также сократить разрешительные функции государства (Ананьев, 2012;Асаул, Малкин, 2012;Блудов, 2013;Герасина, Сальникова, Мезяков, 2012;Душакова, 2013;Мальцев, 2013;Мальцев, 2014;Скляров, Склярова, Воронин, 2013;Шмалий, 2013;Becker, Pasurka Jr., Shadbegian, 2013;Feldmann, 2009;Kalyvas, Mamatzakis, 2014;Korutaro, Biekpe, 2013;Messaoud, Teheni, 2014;Veal, Mouzas, 2011).…”
