A Matter of Time: The Temporal Perspectives of Organizational Responses to Climate Change
研究了五家油气企业,归纳出基于不同时间视角的两种应对气候变化策略:聚焦型与整合型,为理解企业环境行为提供新框架。
Prior research often categorizes corporate environmental responses on a spectrum that ranges from reactive to proactive. Such research subordinates the role of time, yet time is central to organizational responses to environmental issues such as climate change. In this paper, we study five oil and gas firms and inductively develop a framework of corporate responses to climate change that explicitly acknowledges the role of time. The framework identifies two categories of corporate responses grounded in different temporal perspectives: focused and integrated. We discuss the implications of this categorization for research on corporate environmentalism and time in organizational theory.
