Sustainability Governance Across Time and Space: Connecting Environmental Stewardship in the Firm with the Global Community
提出三种企业环境管理模式与三种信任类型配对，作为非正式治理机制，并利用对日本和美国18家组织（企业、政府、非营利）的访谈，探讨如何通过分散网络连接企业与全球可持续努力。
ABSTRACT To differentiate ecosystem management, three models of firm‐level environmental stewardship are paired with three types of trust, which serve as informal governance mechanisms. The interconnectedness of organizational fields and the influence of intertemporality and interspatiality (time and space) are key dynamics in developing decentralized networks as an approach for linking firms, organizational fields, and global sustainability efforts. Interviews with 18 firms, government agencies, and nonprofit‐making organizations from Japan and the USA are utilized to discuss the key concepts in the paper.
