“…We chose the 2012-2013 period to neutralize the potential confounding effect of the reforms in environmental laws that occurred in subsequent years (i.e., introduction of a tax on waste disposal by the law 147/2013 and the revision of the Robin Hood tax by the D.L. n. 69/2013).3 Content analysis allowed us to codify written text into groups and categories based on selected criteria and to draw logical inferences by analyzing large numbers of reports in terms of their disclosures and omissions(Krippendorff, 2004;Neuendorf, 2002).4 As a robustness check, we performed an alpha test fromKrippendorff (1980) to ensure homogeneity of the content analysis process. Specifically, two coders (one author and one research assistant) rated to the same set of environmental information provided by a sub-sample of 60 companies.…”

A matter of control or identity? Family firms' environmental reporting decisions along the corporate life cycle

Building on the socioemotional wealth (SEW) perspective, this study explores environmental disclosure (ED) practices in family firms and investigates whether the firm's life cycle stage plays a moderating role in these practices. We focus on two dimensions of the SEW: family control and influence and family identity. To the extent that different types of family‐controlled firms have different reporting behaviors based on their primary SEW dimension, they will undertake the ED strategies that allow them to preserve their SEW. Using a sample of listed firms from the Milan Stock Exchange, we show that family firms for which the family control and influence SEW dimension is most salient provide less environmental information than non‐family firms and that this effect is weakened along the family firm's life cycle. Our findings also indicate that middle‐aged family firms, where the family identity dimension prevails, provide more ED than do non‐family firms. Our study contributes to knowledge about how the socioemotional endowment affects family firms' reporting behavior.

“…By this process, we ensured that the assignment of examples to categories was such that categories were non-redundant, readable, general and discriminant (O'Reilly, Chatman and Caldwell, 1991). In line with best practice (Saunders and Townsend, 2016), this analysis provided evidence for data saturation and hence the adequacy of the sample size in the form of repetition in coding examples to existing categories and the absence of new categories being created (Neuendorf, 2002). As a final step, we used a qualitative clustering approach (Miles and Huberman, 1994) to undertake an in-depth examination of the data.…”

Drawing on interviews with job seekers and expert informants, we outline a model of the job search experience of people with disabilities. This model specifies the sequence of events involved in the pursuit of paid work and the contextual features that inhibit or facilitate job search attitudes, behaviours, intermediate search outcomes and employment outcomes. By contrasting the experiences of job seekers with musculoskeletal and sensory disabilities, and outlining the influence of major stakeholders in the form of employment agencies and family members, our model provides the basis for a more nuanced understanding of the job search process. Finally, we recommend points of intervention that are grounded in data for improving job search outcomes for people with disabilities in general, and for job seekers with musculoskeletal or sensory disabilities specifically.

“There is always a better way”: Managing uncertainty in decision making about new cancer drugs in Canada

Policy decisions about the approval and funding of new cancer drugs must often be made in an environment of complex uncertainty about clinical and cost-effectiveness data. The focus of this article is on the results from qualitative interviews with senior officials (n = 16) who make decisions about or influence cancer drug policy in various organizations in the Canadian cancer control system. Most participants identified the use of a limited number of informal approaches to address uncertainty, such as grounding decisions in evidence and advice from expert groups. People tended to focus on evidence informed decisions including price negotiations, the ability to implement policy changes, and stakeholder values. Lessons from the Canadian context related to continuing efforts to build a public culture of understanding into how policy decisions like cancer drug funding are made may result in greater acceptance and increased confidence in health policy decision-making processes across multiple sectors internationally.
