“…But only a very limited amount of data is available on corporate environmental behavior. Similar to other related studies, EPESPP constructed in this paper fails to be applied to more pulp and paper companies (Ding et al, 2019;Zhang, Dong, et al, 2014;Zhao & Li, 2015). Associated long-term and widely environmental disclosure would further improve data availability, and provide more support for our results.…”

“…The research on corporate environmental performance evaluation mainly focuses on environment‐related production and management behavior. On the one hand, indexes such as pollution emission, recycling, and material and energy consumption are usually included in the evaluation index system to quantify the impact of production and operation on the environment (Ding et al, 2019; Gabisa & Gheewala, 2019). On the other hand, existing studies measure the effectiveness of corporate environmental management from the construction of environmental management systems, environmental disclosure, financial performance, and so forth (Zhang, Dong, et al, 2014; Zhao & Li, 2015).…”

The differential impacts of coercive pressure from environmental law and proactive environmental strategy on corporate environmental performance: The case study of a pulp and paper company

Pulp and paper companies are characterized by high-energy consumption and high-emission in production, placing a heavy burden on the environment. Exploring ways to improve their environmental performance is urgently needed. External coercive pressure from environmental law and internal proactive environmental strategy both enable companies to perform better, but little is known about the difference between them. To close this knowledge gap, our analysis is conducted on a case company in pulp and paper industry to compare the differential impacts of the New Environmental Protection Law of China and the proactive environmental strategy on its environmental performance. In addition, accurately evaluating the environmental performance of pulp and paper companies is essential while research on this topic is scant. Therefore, a novel environmental performance evaluation system for pulp and paper companies (EPESPP) is constructed, including not only internal but also external evaluation indexes based on news reports of various media measured by SNOWNLP sentiment analysis. According to the system, the environmental performance of the case company from 2010 to 2018 is evaluated by the entropy-weight-based catastrophe progression method (EWCPM). The results of our case study show that the implementation of a proactive environmental strategy is more conducive to comprehensively improving corporate environmental performance. In other words, the driving effect of the New Environmental Protection Law is not as strong as that of the proactive environmental strategy.

“…The theory of GDBP-IE has received widespread attention since its emergence. It is applied to support various research viewpoints, e.g., the social performance of mining firms [ 48 ], green investment decisions of the manufacturer [ 49 ], green development system models [ 1 ], green development reporting framework for enterprises [ 50 ], identification of critical factors in construction and demolition waste recycling [ 51 ] and renewable energy and green economic growth [ 52 ]. Researchers have used the theory of GDBP-IE in many areas of industrial enterprises, but these studies cannot clearly reveal the mechanism of GDBP-IE.…”

Although the theory of green development behavior and performance of industrial enterprises (GDBP-IE) reveals that the green development behavior (GDB) of industrial enterprises is affected by internal and external factors and produces performance, it lacks a clear mechanism. This paper aims to verify the theory of GDBP-IE and reveals the mechanism of GDBP-IE in the Chinese context. The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) method was used to analyze valid samples of Chinese industrial enterprises (N = 615). The empirical conclusions are as follows. (1) Corporate tangible resources, corporate intangible resources (CIR), market environment, public supervision and policy and institutional environment (PIE) have a significant positive effect on GDB (i.e., green supply chain management practice and clean production behavior). (2) Compared with other factors, the positive effect of CIR on GDB is the strongest. (3) The level of positive effect of PIE on GDB is not as significant as other factors. (4) GDB has a significant positive effect on green development performance (i.e., corporate social performance, corporate financial performance and corporate environmental performance). This paper provides effective evidence for researchers to use other methods to further verify the theory of GDBP-IE in the Chinese context. This paper also provides an opportunity for cluster analysis of GDBP-IE in different countries or regions. In addition, this paper not only gives a targeted reference for the government to formulate guidelines concerning the green development of industrial enterprises but also encourages industrial enterprise managers to formulate green development strategies, which is a way to help industrial enterprise managers and workers to participate in and comply with GDB.

“…As shown in Table 1, three and four phases are the most common. Based on the viewpoint of industrial ecology, the enterprise life cycle is inextricably linked with the sustainable development of enterprises [26][27][28][29][30]. Enterprise life cycle and product life cycle are both related and different concepts.…”

Assessment of Enterprise Life Cycle Based on Two-Stage Logistic Model: Exemplified by China’s Automobile Manufacturing Enterprises

Enterprises in socio-economic ecosystems, like organisms in natural ecosystems, have life cycles. Since the enterprise life cycle theory was proposed, how to measure the enterprise life cycle has been a hot research topic. In order to assess the life cycle of an enterprise, a two-stage logistic model was proposed in this research, based on ecological theory and a population dynamics model. The first-stage logistic model measures the internal inhibition coefficient, intrinsic growth rate, and theoretical upper limit of enterprise development scale. The second-stage logistic model deals with the theoretical upper limit of enterprise development scale in the declining period, and measures the intrinsic growth rate, internal inhibition coefficient, and the theoretical upper limit of enterprise development scale in the declining period. In this study, an empirical analysis is conducted with Chinese automobile enterprises, which shows that an enterprise should withdraw from the market by insolvency liquidation or restructuring when both the intrinsic growth rate and internal inhibition coefficient are less than zero. Finally, this paper proposes the evaluation matrix of intrinsic growth and market potential. This matrix can intuitively give the evaluation method of the enterprise life cycle.
