Are aliens green? Assessing foreign establishments' environmental conduct in the United states

Local Responsiveness Pressure, Subsidiary Resources, Green Management Adoption and Subsidiary’s Performance: Evidence from Taiwanese Manufactures

“…This is because foreign firms often face discrimination by host country consumers, governments, and suppliers (King and Shaver, 2001;Hymer, 1976).

Other scholars have gone as far to argue that business ethics can be used as a motivating force within a firm (Solomon, 1992).…”

“…Some have argued that foreign direct investment provides conflicting predictions for the environmental performance of foreign versus indigenous firms (King and Shaver, 2001).
