Dynamic Activity Analysis Model Based Win-Win Development Forecasting Under the Environmental Regulation in China
Get PDFPorter Hypothesis states that environmental regulation may lead to win-win opportunities, that is, improve the productivity and reduce the undesirable output simultaneously. Based on directional distance function, this paper proposes a novel dynamic activity analysis model to forecast the possibilities of win-win development in Chinese Industry between 2009 and 2049. The evidence reveals that the appropriate energy-saving and emission-abating regulation will result in both the improvement in net growth of potential output and the steadily increasing growth of total factor productivity. This favors Porter Hypothesis.Dynamic Activity Analysis Model, Energy-Saving and Emission-Abating, Environmental Regulation, Win-Win Development
Win-Win-Win: Influencing for gender-transformative businesses in South and South East Asia
No full textThe Gender Transformative and Responsible Business Investment in South-East Asia (GRAISEA) programme aims to improve livelihoods of women and men small-scale producers in South and South-East Asia. It is based on the recognition that financial viability and gender equitable and sustainable supply chains are not mutually exclusive, and that win-win-win propositions are possible: wins for communities, for women and men small-scale producers, and for larger businesses.
GRAISEA focuses on the palm oil, aquaculture and rice value chains and is implemented in Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand and Pakistan, and includes a strong regional component. Indeed, while Oxfam engages in multiple countries across the region, power analyses reflect the need to develop regional influencing interventions targeting: a) ASEAN, for promotion and implementation of regional policies and regulations on commodities and issues of regional significance; and b) private sector companies with a regional footprint, for increased understanding of CSR and responsible business models.
This document particularly focuses on how the programme has influenced others for gender-transformative business investments.</p
Will adoption occur if a practice is win-win for profit and the environment? An application to a rancher’s grazing practice choices
No full textRotational grazing has the potential to provide both economic and environmental benefits; however, the set of ranchers that adopts is much smaller than the set that regards rotational grazing as a win-win practice. To investigate this adoption gap and learn about adoption decisions and motivations, we survey 874 ranchers on the U.S. Great Plains. We find that a large proportion of surveyed ranchers who view rotational grazing as win-win for both profit and the environment do not adopt the practice. We also find that win-win non-adopters are a constrained group for most potential challenges to rotational grazing adoption, especially for high initial costs, water resource limitations, and ranch conditions. Some of these impediments could be relieved by capital to which, however, win-win non-adopters have limited access. Win-win nonadopters are more likely to adopt rotational grazing than others when a one-time subsidy is offered, suggesting that win-win non-adopters hold promise as a target group for subsidies to reduce the cost of adoption. Our analysis shows the importance of understanding the specifics of an adoption gap when making and implementing policies.JEL Codes: D91, Q16, Q18, Q57This is a manuscript of an article published as Che, Yuyuan, Hongli Feng, and David A.

Win-Win business ethics engagement and corruption reform methods
Get PDFNo abstractThere has been comparatively less work done on how to effectively engage with and reform unethical and corrupt behaviors in business world; behaviors that can be both legal and illegal. According to the author, however, the research that has been done is very encouraging. Effective business ethics methods can be very profitable and sustainable. Effective business ethics methods can be learned and taught. Further, effective business ethics methods can help cause and stimulate better and greater socioeconomic development. In this paper, the author first considers nine types of effective business ethics engagement and corruption reform methods. Second, he examines in some detail six win-win methods with real case examples. Third, theoretical foundations for win-win methods and why win-win ethical business practices and relationships are profitable and sustainable are considered. Fourth, he discusses strengths and limitations of win-win methods. For the author, win-win methods can help facilitate ethical and mutually prosperous association
Freedom in Terms of the Win-Win-Win Papakonstantinidis: Bibliography
Get PDFConcepts such as freedom cannot be measured and give material measurable results. Freedom is not measured. It leaves its philosophical imprint on independent thought. According to Jean-Jacques Rousseau (Note 1), it recedes only to leave room for political freedom The supposed absolute freedom based on the quantity of material goods and choices actually leads to the commitment of individualism. Because it is difficult to change this relationship between materialism and individualism, we focus on philosophical freedom through self-knowledge that will answer the triple question (1) what is best for me, (2) what is best for you, (3) what is best for community in which we negotiate a win-win-win reasoning for everyone who negotiates with another in the community Thus arises a win-win-win inner freedom with an immeasurable result, which at its limit is identified with the complete independence of the soul and the spirit
Le management environnemental de l'exploitation agricole peut-il être une stratégie "win-win-win" ?
No full textNational audienceTout en conservant l'hypothèse classique de la firme cherchant à maximiser ses profits, cette contribution définit et situe l'approche dite du "win-win-win" dans la littérature économique et managériale. On montre que la résorption des inefficacités techniques et les opportunités de différenciation environnementale des produits peuvent permettre le développement de stratégies "win-win-win" au sein des exploitations agricoles. On identifie les conditions de leur réalisation et on propose quelques suggestions susceptibles de favoriser leur émergence
Win-Win Transportation Management Strategies
No full textAbstract Win-Win Transportation Solutions are cost-effective, technically feasible, market reforms that solve transportation problems by increasing consumer options and removing market distortions that cause inefficient travel patterns. They can provide many economic, social and environmental benefits. If implemented to the degree that is economically justified, Win-Win Solutions could achieve the transportation component of Kyoto emission reduction targets while stimulating economic development and reducing other problems such as traffic congestion and accidents. This paper discusses the Win-Win concept and describes a dozen Win-Win strategies
Increasing support for clean innovation a win-win-win strategy?
No full textPolitical support for government spending to deal with the economic aftermath of the COVID pandemic has grown. It is now greater than during the 2008 financial crisis, and ‘build back better’ pledges have multiplied. Ralf Martin, Sam Unsworth, Anna Valero, and Dennis Verhoeven have developed a new methodology that estimates the national return of government support for different technology areas and argue that a sustainable growth strategy can achieve net zero, improve productivity and contribute to levelling up, a win-win-win
