“…relationships are multi-faceted, and the information flowing around the network is also complex. Relationships in supply networks involve more than commercial firms, and there is a need to acknowledge, and potentially reframe supply networks, around a variety of drivers and motivations (Josserand et al, 2018).…”

“…Indeed, stakeholders within the clusters have different expectations, which may compete or even conflict with the focal firm's environmental consciousness (DiMaggio & Powell, ; Godfrey, ). For example, customers and suppliers tend to expect clean products to obtain high profits, whereas other stakeholders, such as the media and communities, tend to expect visible and explicit environmental initiatives to enhance publicity (D'Aunno, Sutton, & Price, ; Josserand, Kaine, & Nikolova, ). Under this condition, the firm will perceive strong normative pressures about economic value rather than the ethical obligation of CER in the cluster.…”

This study investigates the role of institutional pressures in corporate environmental responsibility (CER) by testing the interacting effects among cognitive, regulative, and normative pressures at cross levels. Specifically, this research decomposes the cognitive dimension of CER into perceived environmental benefit and perceived ethical obligation to differentiate their mechanisms. The sample is obtained from 212 firms within 34 industrial clusters. Results of two-level regression modeling confirm that regulative and normative pressures play different roles in the positive effects of perceived environmental benefit and perceived ethical obligation on CER. Regulative pressure attenuates the effect of perceived environmental benefit and amplifies the effect of perceived ethical obligation. Meanwhile, normative pressure attenuates the effect of perceived ethical obligation. These findings suggest that heterogeneous interaction effects may reduce the efficiency of institutional pressures during the initial stage of CER diffusion. Implications for future research and policies are discussed.

“…For radical innovations that contribute to sustainable development cross‐sector collaboration in networks of firms, suppliers, competitors, customers, and universities is important (Melander, ). Together, these interorganizational networks can achieve the required systemic change (Heuer, ; Josserand, Kaine, & Nikolova, ; Roome, ).…”

Coping with coopetition—Facing dilemmas in cooperation for sustainable development: The case of the Dutch smart grid industry

et al. 2019

This paper is amongst the first to examine coopetition strategy for sustainable development at the network level. Companies who want to successfully implement complex innovative technologies that support sustainable development need to collaborate with other actors of the innovation ecosystem, including their competitors, so that they can develop standards, interoperable products, pool knowledge, and resources and bundle forces to compete against other technologies. Collaboration with competitors brings benefits, but also many risks. We investigated how firms cope with these risks when establishing an innovation ecosystem to implement a new technology in society. We conducted research in the Dutch smart grids sector and explored how these firms minimize inherent risks of coopetition. We found that system-building actors in the Dutch smart grid field not only minimize inherent risks, but from the start of their collaboration they implement so-called enablers to prevent these risks upfront.
