Purpose -Based on the theory of bounded rationality, the purpose of this paper is to explore the role played by top managerial management cognition in firms' efforts to obtain and maintain competitive advantage in a dynamic environment. Design/methodology/approach -A research framework of the relations between environment changes, management cognition, strategic actions, organizational capability evolution and organizational performance is built. Data are collected through interviews, internal documents, and external documents and consequently a qualitative database is built to construct a causal map between environment, cognition, strategic actions, and organizational capability. Then by applying this causal map, a case study analysis of Vanward Group is carried out to explore its management cognition, strategic actions, and organizational capability in a dynamic environment. Findings -The research propositions were tested and confirmed that top managerial management cognition is of bounded rationality and in dynamic environment it exerts direct and critical effect on their firms' strategic actions and organizational capability. Further discussion is extended to the roles played by institutional factors in organizational strategic decision process and the roles of top management in organizational dynamic capability.Research limitations/implications -The generalizability of this paper's conclusions to other firms is to be tested by large sample quantitative research. Practical implications -The research confirms the bounded rationality perspective in strategic management, and explores in depth the formation, evolution, and functions of top management cognition in a dynamic environment. It also emphasizes the non-economic factors related to the continuous acquisition and maintenance of competitive advantages in a dynamic environment. Originality/value -The paper releases the economic assumptions underlying industrial structure theory and resource-based views by emphasizing the effect of top management cognition on organizational strategic actions and organizational capabilities. It further enriches the institution-based view by illustrating how institutional environment affects top management cognition and consequently affects the changes in organizational strategic actions and organizational capability. Thus, the institutional context for organizational strategic decision making is emphasized. The paper contributes to research in dynamic capability by emphasizing top management roles in developing dynamic capability.

PurposeBased on the socio-emotional wealth and agency theories, this study empirically investigates the impact of family ownership and management on green innovation (GI) in family businesses, as well as the moderating effects of institutional environmental support factors, namely, the technological achievement marketisation index and the market-rule-of law index.Design/methodology/approachThis study empirically tests the hypotheses based on a sample of listed Chinese family companies with A-shares in 14 heavily polluting industries from 2009 to 2019.FindingsThere is a U-shaped relationship between the percentage of family ownership and GI, and an inverted U-shaped relationship between the degree of family management and GI. Additionally, different institutional environmental support factors affect these relationships in different ways. As the technological achievement marketisation index increases, the U-shaped relationship between the percentage of family ownership and GI becomes steeper, while the inverted U-shaped relationship between the degree of family management and GI becomes smoother. The market rule-of-law index weakens the U-shaped relationship between family ownership and GI.Originality/valueFirst, the authors enrich the research on the driving factors of GI from the perspective of the most essential heterogeneity of family businesses. This study shows nonlinear and opposite effects of family ownership and management on GI in family firms. Second, this study contributes to the literature on family firm innovation. GI, not considered by researchers, is regarded as an important deficiency in research on innovation in family businesses. Therefore, this study fills that gap. Third, the study expands research on moderating effects in the literature on GI from the perspective of institutional environmental support factors.

This paper builds plans for emergency management of forestry enterprises, and provide a new effective use emergency document for forestry enterprises to respond to emergenciesway based on the knowledge element linking technology, because the emergency management of forestry enterprises can not be quickly and efficiently and find emergency document the problem. Through the document structured analysis, extracted emergency document knowledge element. RDF to integrate the knowledge element analysis, the semantics associated with the completion of the extraction of the relationship between the knowledge element. Finally, the knowledge element linking design plans for emergency management of forestry enterprises. The one hand, the results of this study can guide forestry enterprises emergency practice, on the other hand has laid a foundation for the visual design of the emergency management of forestry enterprises.
