No full textFor green or not for green? The effect of cooperation goals and type on environmental performance
No full textAlthough many scholars have demonstrated that companies engaged in collaborations achieve better environmental performance than other companies, existing studies have not analyzed in depth whether this effect changes considering the characteristics of cooperation. Our paper aims to explore whether collaboration with other companies always has a positive effect on environmental performance or whether it depends on cooperation goals, collaboration type, or company size. Empirical analysis based on a sample of 773 European companies demonstrated that an external source of knowledge is an important way to foster firms' environmental proactivity, especially when environmental goals are shared at the basis of collaboration. Second, we verified that companies involved in JVs with environmental goals achieve greater environmental performance than companies that use M&As to acquire external knowledge. Finally, we demonstrated that it is more important for small companies to be involved in environmental collaboration than larger ones
How do cultural values influence entrepreneurial behavior of nations? A behavioral reasoning approach.
Full text linkDespite an abundance of research, still little is known about the underlying cultural mechanisms of entrepreneurial behavior at country level. This paper wants to contribute to the debate by offering a new perspective of analysis based on behavioral reasoning theory (BRT). Specifically, this research analyzes the impact of cultural values on the reasoning behind entrepreneurial intention and activity. The GLOBE project and the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) were the sources of our data and variables for a multiple regression analysis over the period of 2007-2017. The results show that, with the exception of Institutional Collectivism, all of GLOBE’s cultural dimensions affect the reasoning justifications behind entrepreneurial intentions and also entrepreneurial activities in various countries. Details of such effects are fully discussed in the concluding sections of the paper

No full textHow Green Is Your Board? Board Structure and Corporate Environmental Performance
No full textThe present paper aims at exploring the relationship between firms’ board structure and their green performance, within the agency theory and resource dependence theory frameworks, in order to outline if particular types of board directors could act as a stimulating driver for firms’ environmental performance.
The theoretical analysis is completed by an empirical exploration, performed by two linear regression models, on a sample of Italian and Spanish firms included in the CSRHub database in 2015.
Our findings provide nuanced evidence that boards do affect firms’ environmental performance. We reported in fact a positive relationship between the presence of non-executivedirectors in the board and companies’ environmental performance; while the critical mass of women directors and the percentage of independent directors, together with board size, do not seem to be related with firms’ green performance
