“…For example, Tsai and Chang (2015) utilized the MARKAL energy engineering model to simulate the effects of adopting a combination of technology and tax measures under the various carbon reduction targets and low-carbon development scenarios up to 2050 in Taiwan. Bi, Huang and Ye (2015) analyzes the risk of low-carbon technological innovation in emerging economies under globalization, by integrating the method of global value chain (GVC) and technological innovation linear progress into a new analytical framework. Zhuang, Pan and Zhu (2011) presented a measure index system, including low-carbon output, lowcarbon consumption, low-carbon resources and low-carbon policy, then made further suggestions for improvement to meet practical requirement.…”

Abstract:Purpose: Under the background of global warming, low carbon economy, which is based on low waste and low pollution, has become a globally focused topic. Energy conservation, emission reduction and low carbon development have become irresistible trends of social development. A new set of low carbon evaluation index system for logistics enterprises is proposed. It is helpful for the better monitor of low carbon production and provide the optimization of industrial policies in China.Design/methodology/approach: Based on the problem that logistic analyses are facing under the background of low carbon economy, this paper firstly establishes a set of new evaluation indexes system, including 5 first-level indices and 28 second-level indices, for the low carbon development levels of logistics enterprises in China. To simplify the new evaluation system, the weight judgment method is then used to select indices, the validity judgment method and reliability coefficient judgment method are respectively used to test the validity and reliability of the evaluation systems. The simplified evaluation system consists of 4 first-class indices and 20 second-class indexes. Finally, numerical examples illustrate the validity and operability of the evaluation system. performance. Moreover, The reason for the good low carbon performance of one enterprises is that it is in the lead on the key indexes of high weighs such as Perfection degree of low carbon development strategy, Level of transportation route optimization, etc. The new evaluation index system also helps enterprises to realize the sustainable development by identifying the key factors that affect the low carbon development level. Originality/value:The existing literature that assesses low carbon logistics is mostly focused on the review of the location-based and industry-based aspects, and little attention has been paid to assessing the efficiency of low carbon logistics from the components that are within the logistics enterprises. Therefore, we develop a new low carbon evaluation index system for logistics enterprises in order to better monitor low carbon production and provide the optimization of industrial policies in China.

“…A growing number of researchers have recognized the importance of technological improvements in the global value chain (GVC) [1]. In addition, the GVC approach has an important impact on the technological upgrading and catch-up of firms [2][3][4][5][6]. However, transformation and upgrading with GVC is still under exploration.…”

From the Host to the Home Country, the International Upgradation of EMNEs in Sustainability Industries—The Case of a Chinese PV Company

With the internationalization of firms from emerging-markets, the upgradation along the global value chain of emerging-market multinational enterprises (EMNEs) has attracted the attention of academics and industries. However, the role of upgradation of EMNEs in a host country to the transition of EMNEs in the home country is ignored. This study explored how EMNEs from emerging-markets could upgrade their operations in their home countries driven by the transformation of subsidiaries in host countries. An in-depth analysis of Company S was conducted to elaborate on the resources and trigger time a firm needs to transform the function of a subsidiary in the host country, and the upgradation of the firm in the home country during the internationalization process. Research on the internationalization of Company S suggested that with the complementary capabilities and markets as the fundamental basic resources, the industrial crisis triggers the firm’s upgrading in the host country. In addition, the intrafirm (internal) market mechanism makes it possible to sustain the upgrading process without conflicts between subsidiaries. Moreover, synergies will develop through interactions with subsidiaries, owing to complementary capabilities and the internal market. The synergetic development promotes the transition of firms in the home country and emphasizes the complementarity of the manufacturing and engineering service. Finally, this study demonstrates the two-stage international upgrading process, in which the international upgrading of firms in the home country is driven by the development and transition of the subsidiary in the host country, which provides contributions to the internationalization upgrading strategy and process of firms from emerging-markets.

“…For instance, Wal-Mart has spent $30 million on the development of "green" refrigerators and seen sales increase by 20% (Fetterman, 2006). However, the additional cost of low-carbon certification and technologies, market risk, and complexity of the external business environment may result in uncertainty regarding commercial success (Zhao et al, 2013;Shuai et al, 2014;Bi et al, 2015). In this context, governments play a leading role in developing well-designed policies to drive industrial innovation into product sustainability and thus promote sustainable performance (Kanada et al, 2013;Choi, 2015).…”
