Abstract This study aims to explore the factors that motivate firms adopt socially sustainable supply chain management (socially SSCM) practices. To address this question, we seek investigate effect of institutional pressure on firms' SSCM (i.e., assessment and collaboration) mediating role top support (TMS) for social initiatives. We also argue organisational culture, which comprises flexibility control orientation, influences process from pressures TMS Using survey data 248 buyer–supplier...

Urban agglomerations (UAs) in China play a vital role the distribution of productive forces and constitute most dynamic potentially rich core areas for future economic development. However, rapid growth high-intensity interactions seen relation to these areas, results high population densities aggregation industries UAs, also pose significant ecological threats environment. This paper attempts analyse changing trends input–output efficiency UAs based on data envelopment analysis (DEA)...

Purpose While the theory and practice of open innovation networks are flourishing, green in manufacturing small medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is stagnant. This study explores mechanism driving SMEs under based on role platforms' relational governance. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative was conducted using questionnaires to collect data from 270 Zhejiang Province employing a structural equation model test developed hypotheses. Findings The results revealed that governance positively...

Energy performance contracting (EPC) is considered to promote the cooperation of low-carbon investment between supply chain members; however, few studies have examined impact supplier encroachment on EPC cooperation. This study investigated a new coopetitive mode in sustainable with and encroachment. The may provide an service curb carbon emissions for downstream manufacturer obtain partial savings costs by bearing entire cost investment. However, motivated develop direct selling channel...

A new species of ichthyosauriform is recognized based on 20 specimens, including nearly complete skeletons, and named Chaohusaurus brevifemoralis. part the specimens was previously identified as chaoxianensis herein reassigned to species. The differs from existing in a suite features, such bifurcation caudal peak neural spine short femur relative trunk length. include both partially disarticulated skulls, allowing rigorous scrutiny cranial sutures. For example, squamosal does not participate...

Purpose With technological innovation elements and the competitive market environment becoming increasingly complex, numerous firms utilize network embeddedness to achieve sustain innovation. However, empirical research has not conclusively established which form of more effectively facilitates corporate Drawing on heterogeneous resources perspective, this study explores impact embeddedness, technology their synergy green performance manufacturing small medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)....

Chaohusaurus is one of the earliest-branching ichthyosauriforms, but its cranial anatomy remains poorly known due to lack well-preserved material. Here, three nearly complete and skulls C. chaoxianensis are described, revealing new information on species. The prefrontal-postfrontal contact clearly present in chaoxianensis, unlike Cartorhynchus basal Hupehsuchia. squamosal postorbital participate margin upper temporal fenestra as most ichthyosauriforms. region narrow, with a deep ventral...

The study of environmental-oriented total factor energy efficiency considering pollutants as a non-expected output has attracted wide attention, but few studies have included social welfare into the above framework for analyzing China’s provincial ecological (EEE). In addition, fiscal decentralization and economic competition created tremendous momentum growth; however, research been lacking on whether they improved utilization, pollution control level. To fill these gaps, by applying...

This study aims to empirically investigate the internal mechanism of impact supply chain learning on corporate sustainability performance from perspective ambidextrous innovation capability. After conducting a Bootstrap analysis questionnaire data collected 262 Chinese firms, this found that positively affects performance. In addition, exploration and exploitation capabilities mediate effects These findings expand body knowledge provide new insights into mechanisms for improving proposes...

The palatal anatomy of ichthyosauriforms remains largely unknown. Here, the complete palate early-branching ichthyosauriform Chaohusaurus brevifemoralis is reconstructed and described for first time with assistance high-resolution X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanning on basis three-dimensionally preserved skull its paratype (GMPKU-P-3086) from Lower Triassic South China. reconstruction reveals new features C. . palatine contacts jugal directly, which observed in time. A single row...

Purpose The study aims to examine how different types of green brand ritual (GBR) influence customer engagement behavior and the mediation mechanisms boundary conditions positive negative pathways. Design/methodology/approach conducts two online experiments collect data from a total 940 consumers in China. Hypotheses are tested by independent samples t -test, two-way ANOVA Hayes' PROCESS model. Findings Different kinds GBR have effects on behavior. Internal is more likely play role inciting...

Strengthening the protection of potable water sources is important measure to ensure safety for people. Based on investigation in Yangtze River Wuhan section, this paper analyses potential fixed risk sources, flowing and other sources. To people, government should readjust industrial structure, supervise enterprises, improve emergency system, coordinate departments linkage, accelerate project.
