“…This evidence is consistent with H3a that education enhances environmental awareness by understanding the harmful consequences of emissions and fosters environmentally friendly behavior. The findings are in line with the prior work of Stef and Ben Jabeur [ 53 ]. Moreover, H3c is confirmed; high values of personal freedom decrease the volume of CO 2 emissions as stated by Brulle (2010, p. 91): “It is well known that political mobilization campaigns are more effective and legitimate if they engage citizens in a sustained dialog rather than treating them as a mass opinion to be manipulated.…”

“…The EDU, PF, GOU, BE, and EU are associated with lower CO 2 emissions. In other words, developed countries with a high degree of freedom, more educated people, and strong environmental laws tend to be more respected [ 53 ]. Nevertheless, the GDP contributes to environmental degradation.…”

“…The pollution haven hypothesis (PHH) argues that due to weak environmental regulations in host countries, some industries with high contamination and consumption levels will be transferred from other countries through FDI and trade, causing a significant increase in pollutant emissions (see, e.g., Savona and Ciarli 2019 ; Stef and Jabeur 2020 ). Most existing studies find a positive association between FDI flows and environmental degradation, which suggest a confirmation of the PHH (see, e.g., Sapkota and Bastola 2017 ; Hanif et al 2019 ; Salehnia et al 2020 ; among others).…”

Foreign direct investment (FDI) flows from developed to developing countries may increase carbon emissions in developing countries as developing countries are seen as pollution havens due to their lenient environmental regulations. On the other hand, FDI flows from the developed world may improve management practices and advanced technologies in developing countries, and an increase in FDI flows reduces carbon emissions. Most of the existing studies examine the relationship between FDI flows and carbon emissions by using aggregate FDI flows; however, this paper contributes to the literature by analyzing the impact of FDI flows on carbon emissions in Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS) between 1993 and 2012 using bilateral FDI flows from eleven OECD countries. According to our empirical results, from which OECD country FDI flows to BRICS countries matters for carbon emissions in BRICS countries. Our results confirm that FDI flows to BRICS countries from Denmark and the UK increase carbon emissions in BRICS countries, confirming the pollution haven hypothesis. On the other hand, FDI that flows from France, Germany, and Italy reduced carbon emissions in the BRICS countries, confirming the pollution halo effect. FDI flows from Austria, Finland, Japan, Netherlands, Portugal, and Switzerland have no significant impact on carbon emissions in BRICS countries. The BRICS countries should promote clean FDI flows by reducing environmental damages, and investing countries should be rated based on their environmental damage in the host countries.

“…A key challenge is decarbonization, which systematically reduces carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to the atmosphere. It shifts the economy to zero-emission or lowemission energy sources and helps stop global warming (Habert et al, 2020;Stef, Ben Jabeur, 2020).…”

A significant source of information regarding product quality for a company is the complaints lodged by customers. The analysis of complaints can provide the company with valuable insights. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze complaints from a one-month period within a company manufacturing baby strollers. The analysis of complaints was conducted to identify areas within the studied company where discrepancies occur, enabling appropriate corrective actions to be implemented. Design/methodology/approach: The Pareto chart was utilized to conduct the analysis of complaints, illustrating the group of most significant issues. To delve into the root cause of the problem, a task force team employed the 5 Whys method. In the article, based on conducted literature reviews, a theoretical description of quality management tools and methods such as the Pareto chart, the 5 Whys method, Kaizen philosophy, teamwork, and additionally, information regarding product quality and safety can be found. Findings: During the course of our work, the source of failures within the company was identified. The major issue turned out to be haste, affecting both the production staff and an external company collaborating with the enterprise. As part of the corrective actions, a motivational system was implemented for employees, and piecework norms were established within the company. Additionally, an innovative solution was applied in the examined enterprise through the design and creation of pattern books for inter-process control within the company and final inspection at the crossbar flat supplier. The proposed problem-solving methods within the enterprise can be applicable for future endeavors.Research limitations/implications: The study was conducted over a short period of time due to the urgent need to address existing issues within the company. It can be inferred that if a longer time frame were taken into account, it would be possible to identify additional causes of discrepancies. Originality/value: The obtained results can serve as a valuable source of information for other companies manufacturing baby strollers, which are seeking solutions to their own issues.
