Differentiated Customer Pressures and Environmental Policies in China
基于资源依赖理论和利益相关者视角，研究中国制造业中不同类型客户的环境压力对企业环境行为的影响，发现跨国消费者的压力比本地消费者更能促使供应商降低产品环境风险。
Abstract Drawing on the resource dependence theory, the stakeholder perspective and environmental management capabilities, this study examined the relationship between the heterogeneity of customer pressures and the varying levels of environmental policies in China. Data on 1215 Chinese manufacturing firms were analyzed to demonstrate that environmental pressures emanating from different types of customer have different impacts on firm environmental conduct and that the pressures from multinational consumers have a stronger effect on local Chinese suppliers’ propensity to reduce product environmental risks than those from local consumers.
