Why do Emerging Market Firms Engage in Voluntary Environmental Management Practices? A Strategic Choice Perspective
基于对519家土耳其企业的调查，研究发现客户导向、差异化战略和战略导向的利益相关者关注度越高，企业越倾向于实施自愿环境管理实践。
Abstract In this paper, we investigate firms’ decisions to engage in voluntary environmental management (VEM) practices within an emerging market context. Drawing on the strategic choice and the resource‐based view perspectives, we report results from a survey of VEM practices – a specific form of self‐governance – drawing on a sample of 519 Turkish firms from various industries to identify important strategic antecedents of firms’ decisions to engage in such practices. We find that as firms become more customer focused, more inclined to pursue a differentiation strategy and subject to a higher level of strategy‐oriented stakeholder focus, they tend to implement higher levels of VEM practices, with important implications for research, policy and practice for both emerging and developed markets.
