Climate change will pose considerable risk to organisations in the 21st century. However, organisational adaptation to climate change has not yet received much attention in the management literature. Drawing on strategic choice theory, we put forward a model proposing that environmental attitudes and climate change knowledge are antecedents of how important adaptation is perceived to be by organisational decision-makers and that the perceived risk towards climate change acts as a mediator in this relationship. We tested the model with responses from 101 managers in the Australian energy industry. Findings of the study show that both environmental attitudes and climate change knowledge have a significantly positive effect on the perceived importance of climate change adaptation and that this relationship is mediated by risk perception. The study highlights the need to draw climate knowledge to the attention of executives and discusses avenues for future research, including the extension of the findings to other industries and settings.

“…Corporate and government organizations, a major source of retired IT equipment, bear the primary responsibility to address ITAD properly. However, researchers have discovered that those in executive leadership positions often lack this mindset, and the current consumption, production, and recycling processes in many businesses are unsustainable (Eboli & Mancini, 2012). Scholarly studies on corporate sustainability through green IT initiatives have identified and examined some important topics such as the adoption of green IT initiatives (Chen, et al, 2009;Molla & Abareshi, 2012;Pitt, Parent, Junglas, Chan, & Spyropoulou, 2011;Watson, Boudreau, & Chen, 2010;Watson, Boudreau, Chen, & Sepúlveda, 2011), product design (Kwak, Hong, & Cho, 2009;Pitt et al, 2011;Zhang, Liu, & Li, 2011), and extended producer responsibility (Zoetman, Krikke, & Venselaar, 2010).…”

Enterprise IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) addresses the recovery and recycling of an enterprise's IT assets that are near or at the end of their lifecycle. The aim of ITAD is to maximize the value of investment over the IT asset's entire lifecycle while guaranteeing data security and protecting against environmental liability. Regulatory requirements mandate specific disposal methods for computing assets, and enterprises face significant risks if they fail to comply. Despite the critical importance of ITAD, many enterprises lack a clear understanding of ITAD and its regulations and struggle with the management of ITAD processes. One solution to this challenge is the ITAD service provided by third-parties that can deliver effective and proper disposition services, and more importantly help enterprises maximize the potential value recovered from IT assets. This tutorial defines ITAD processes, presents its key elements and the third-party practice of ITAD services in the United States, and discusses the most important ITAD regulatory compliance and accreditations related to corporate environmental sustainability. We also discuss the role of IT and information systems in ITAD processes and recommend a research agenda.
