“…Although exploring the consequences of SCC extends the research scope of RDT, considering environmental factors could more systematically understand the consequences of SC linkage strength. We introduce industry concentration because industry environment may affect discourse and dependence (Fu, 2023;Han et al, 2023). In addition, financing constraints are taken into account as external financing situation affects funding constraints of firms (Calabrese et al, 2023).…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate the impact of supply chain concentration (SCC) on corporate research and development (R&D) investment and determine the moderating roles of industry concentration and financing constraints on the relationship between SCC and R&D investment. Design/methodology/approach The study collected data from Chinese listed companies, used the fixed effects model to test the research hypotheses and further used the two-stage Heckman test and propensity score matching (PSM) to address potential endogeneity issues. Findings The result reveals a negative impact of SCC on corporate R&D investment. In addition, industry concentration mitigates the negative impact of SCC on corporate R&D investment, but financing constraints strengthen the negative impact. Originality/value This study introduces the concept of SCC and empirically tests its effect on R&D investment, further explaining the lack of corporate innovation. This study inspires companies to strengthen SC management and weigh the level of SCC with environmental factors.

“…Environmental irresponsibility by a firm can undermine stakeholders' trust. The corporate's environmentally responsible behavior and CD, as moral image signals, significantly influence stakeholders' decisions (Fu, 2023). In contrast to environmental irresponsibility, CD clearly meet stakeholders' moral expectations based on social norms.…”

This study examines the practices of listed firms in heavily polluting industries in China and their approaches to corporate social responsibility. Specifically, it explores the relationship between corporate environmental irresponsibility (CEIR), charitable donations (CD), and financial performance. A sample of Chinese A‐share listed firms in heavily polluting industries from 2012 to 2019 is used to empirically test this relationship. The results show that CEIR has a penalty effect on financial performance; firms with higher levels of environmental irresponsibility experience poorer financial performance. However, CD can mitigate this negative impact. This paper sheds light on the underlying motivations of firms neglecting their environmental responsibilities while being diligent in charitable activity. It provides theoretical foundation and policy recommendations for addressing imbalances in corporate social responsibility based on whether firms can offset environmental shortcomings through charitable acts.
