Managerial perceptions of corporate environmentalism: interpretations from industry and strategic implications for organizations
研究管理者如何理解企业与环境的关系，发现企业环境导向和环境战略焦点两个主题，并探讨监管、公众关注、高层承诺和竞争优势等感知因素如何影响环境战略。
Environmental issues are becoming increasingly important in organization theory and practice. Corporate environmentalism is emerging as a process of addressing environmental issues facing business firms. In this paper I examine managerial perceptions of corporate environmentalism and describes how key organizational members interpret the relationship between their firm and the biophysical environment. Corporate environmental orientation and environmental strategy focus are two themes of corporate environmentalism that emerge from the study. I discuss managerial perceptions of regulatory forces, public environmental concern, top management commitment and need for competitive advantage, and how perceptions of these factors might translate into environmental strategies. I conclude by discussing implications of corporate environmentalism for organizational theory and practice.
