“…As shown in Figure 2, the process of Project EIA in China is fully compatible with the generic steps that are followed internationally. In the screening phase, projects can be divided into A, B and C three categories using the list and threshold approaches [25]. In the scoping phase, through the preliminary analysis of engineering projects and the baseline analysis of the existing environmental status quo, the environmental impacts can be identified and the evaluation factors can be selected.…”

Since 2015, a "reform storm" of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) opened up in China. This study tries to answer the question of whether these reforms improve the effectiveness of EIA. First, we elaborate on the reforms along with three well-acknowledged components, including EIA legislation, administration, and process. Then, evaluate the reformed EIA system against revised Ahmad and Wood's criteria. The results demonstrate that the revised laws and regulations are more stringent than the old versions. The EIA process is simplified, and its coordination with the pollutant discharge permit system is promoted. The interim and post-event supervision is currently more robust and the penalties are more severe than before. However, the hierarchical position of the Environmental Protection Law is not high enough and the coordination of different government departments is still challenging. In summary, despite the problems occurring at the initial phase of reforms, the effectiveness of the EIA system has largely been improved.

Purpose The organizations need to use strategic drivers such as market orientation (MO) and knowledge management (KM) for the development of product and process innovations, which can become a major source of sustainable competitive advantage (SCA). However, there is a gap in the use of these precepts, specifically in Brazilian companies. The purpose of this paper is to measure the relationship among MO, KM orientation, innovation (product and process), SCA and organizational performance (OP). Design/methodology/approach The research was developed through a survey in 1,072 companies from the industrial manufacturing, commerce and services activity sectors. For the analysis of data, the study used the structural equation modeling method. Findings This study contributes to managerial decisions in the choice of investment in strategic drivers and innovation, to obtain competitive advantages and economic gains. The results highlight that companies that use market information have formal structures to support innovation processes achieving more successful results. Research limitations/implications The framework proposed in this research can be used for different industries and segments. Originality/value The theoretical value of this paper is the contribution to the literature with the provision of a framework to analyze the strategic drivers, which are antecedents of innovation in different sectors of activity and in different sizes of companies. It is highlighted as managerial contributions, that the study identified evidence that organizations seek a superior OP to the competitor, creating competitive differentials that result in SCA.

“…The Chinese government amended the EIA law and implemented it in September 2016. The "Temporary Methods of Public Participation in Environmental Impact Assessment" announced in 2006, and the "Guideline for the Disclosure of the Government Information in Connection with the Environmental Impact Assessment of Construction Projects" in 2013 improved access to information from the EIA reports (Suwanteep, Murayama, and Nishikizawa, 2016). In 2012, the first EIA 12th FYP was developed (China Environment Yearbook Editing Committee, 2012).…”

“…The decision of whether a project should submit an EIA report, form, or registration form is made by MEP or local EPBs depending on the size and impact of the projects (Suwanteep, Murayama, and Nishikizawa, 2016). For example, MEP should approve EIAs for projects related to nuclear facilities, classified construction projects, cross-regional projects, and projects that are approved or authorized by the State Council (Standing Committee of the NPC, 2002).…”

Support RAND Make a tax-deductible charitable contribution at AbstractHigh coal consumption resulting from rapid economic growth in China has taken a high toll on Chinese residents' health and China's economy. Many citizens suffer from high rates of air pollution-induced respiratory and cardiovascular illness and premature death. Since the late 1970s, China has been mandating and updating its air pollution reduction policies, many of them targeting emissions from coal burning. These environmental regulations are embedded within a regulatory system with many features of China's former system of central planning. In this system, national regulations, negotiated political agreements, and five-year plans form the basis for the implementation and enforcement of environmental policy. But regulations are often weakly enforced due to poor policy design in which polluters face fines cheaper than compliance costs, and misaligned incentives for government agencies to enforce regulations.
