EFFECTS OF "BEST PRACTICES" OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT ON COST ADVANTAGE: THE ROLE OF COMPLEMENTARY ASSETS.
基于资源基础观，研究环境管理最佳实践是否需互补资产才能带来成本优势。对88家化工企业的调查显示，流程创新与实施能力是调节最佳实践与成本优势关系的互补资产。
Research on the effects on firm performance of “best practices” of environmental management, which are supposed to enable firms to simultaneously protect the environment and reduce costs, has so far ignored the roles of existing firm resources and capabilities. Drawing on the resource-based view of the firm, this study analyzes whether complementary assets are required to gain cost advantage from implementing best practices. Results based on survey data from 88 chemical companies indicate that capabilities for process innovation and implementation are complementary assets that moderate the relationship between best practices and cost advantage, a significant factor in determining firm performance.
