A key assumption of effective international human resource management (IHRM) is that global leaders influence and serve as role models for their followers, regardless of the inherent distance (physical and frequency of interaction) between them in today’s global context or the quality of the relationship. Although considerable attention has been devoted to cultural differences between global le...

Most environmentalists agree that “business activity is the major contributor to environmental destruction” (Wedford, Gouldson, 1993, p.1). But an increasing number also claim that “businesses are [also] central to [...] the solution” (Wedford, Gouldson, 1993. p.1), a heavily debated argument. Can business while staying true to its purpose, to maximize profit, achieve sustainability? This paper...

When in 2002 the world leaders gathered in Johannesburg for the World Summit on Sustainable Development, the number of people below the poverty line and the extent of environmental degradation facing them had never been greater. In the Asia and Pacific region, with two thirds of the world’s poor, addressing poverty reduction and environmental management in a more integrated manner is central to...

Despite burgeoning research on companies’ environmental strategies and environmental management practices, it remains unclear why some firms adopt environmental management practices beyond regulatory compliance. This paper leverages institutional theory by proposing that stakeholders – including governments, regulators, customers, competitors, community and environmental interest groups, and in...

environmental degradation is not only well advanced already, but also is getting progressively worse as the countrys population, urbanisation and industrialisation increase, and as its economy develops generally. This concern has led to a growing recognition that economic development and the health and well-being of the countrys population are closely linked with improved environmental manageme...

In environmental management, we often have to deal with binary response variables whose outcome dictates the course of action. This paper introduces a nonparametric Bayesian binary regression model that is more exible than the commonly used logistic or probit models. Due to the Bayesian feature, the model can be easily used to combine observed data with our knowledge of the subject to produce s...

The concept of good governance has increasingly come to be seen as an essential ingredient of principles guiding natural resource management. Governance is a term that does not lend itself to an easy definition. Perspectives on debates in governance have varied; however, essentially questions of governance of natural resources revolve around such issues as improving the effectiveness of the bur...
