“…Le réseau permet à la firme non seulement d'identifier de nouvelles opportunités dans un pays donné, mais également de réduire les incertitudes et les risques (Métais, Véry et Hourquet, 2010). Nos résultats rejoignent les travaux de Madsen (2009) pour qui la distance culturelle n'est pas un prédicteur satisfaisant des décisions du développement international des firmes (Madsen, 2009) et peut même constituer un piège (O'Grady et Lane, 1996).…”

“…A similar mechanism can apply in our context. Absent regulations or lax regulatory enforcement typically lower production costs, and favor firm polluting investments and local environmental degradation (Madsen, 2009). Local ENPOs may exert a higher pressure in those sectors where no strict regulation obliges firms to invest in environment due to either a lower pollution intensity or a weaker attention by policy-makers.…”
