While there still exists a lack of clarity on what constitutes corporate sustainability and how to best achieve it, many scholars suggest that the pathway for the adoption of...

Growing scientific evidence suggests that human-induced climate change will bring about large-scale environmental changes such as sea-level rise and coastal flooding, extreme weather events and agricultural disruptions. The speed and extent of these changes and the expected impacts on social and...

Even as the world is becoming accustomed to the reality of climate change, its impacts are experienced by organizations in the form of more and increasingly disastrous events like storms, droughts and floods, as well as slower changes like sea level rise or changing growing seasons....

In this article we reexamine the relationship between time and processes of institutionalization. We argue that pace and stability, two temporal dimensions of institutionalization, depend on the mechanism used by agents to support the institutionalization process. Drawing from the power...

Growing scientific evidence suggests that human-induced climate change will bring about large-scale forced international migration and resettlement, with potentially millions of people displaced by coastal flooding, extreme weather events and agricultural disruptions. The probable occurrence of...

Firms and industries around the world are under increasing pressure to articulate their responses to climate change. Multi-disciplinary work spanning policy, science, anthropology, and management literature has contributed on many levels. All of these approaches make a valuable contribution and...

Scientific findings forecast that one of the major consequences of human-induced climate change and global warming is a greater occurrence of extreme weather events with potentially catastrophic effects for organizations, industries, and society. Current management and adaptation approaches...

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is a flexible market mechanism intended to reduce greenhouse emissions and promote sustainable development. China hosts a third of all registered CDM projects, and generates two-thirds of all certified emissions reductions. Understanding the political...
