“…There is a significant positive correlation between family control and green governance of firms. In order to further verify the influence of the political connection of the actual controller, from the same control variable, column (2) firstly adds the virtual variable of political connection on the basis of column (1), column (3) adds the multiplier family control and political connection on the basis of column (2). From column (2), the coefficient of family control is significantly positive, indicating that family control still has a significant role in promoting the level of green governance of firms under the control of the actual political connection of the controllers.…”

“…Firms need to carry out open innovation management in response to a new round of technological revolution, realizing dynamic new combinations between technology, market, and society through open innovation. Green governance has become a topic discussed internationally since green development [1,2]. The "green" has gradually evolved from the original pure color concept into a development concept to the whole process of "green plus", such as green economy, green development, green production, green finance, etc.…”

This paper firstly introduces green governance into the empirical research of family firms. Due to the fact that family firms have their own particularity in the principal agent and also have a strong desire to preserve social emotional wealth, this paper deeply studies the driving influence of family control on the green governance of family firms, and analyzes the moderating effect based on the political connection of executives. Taking the 2015–2017 Chinese family-listed firms that released social responsibility reports as the research sample, we find that family control contributes to the improvement of corporate green governance in family firms. However, the political connection of the actual controller weakens the effect of family control on the green governance of family firms. In addition, this research is also carried out under different situations, such as at the regional level and individual level. The research helps family firms give full play to their own advantages, guide the green governance practice of family firms, and improve the level of green governance.

“…They are viewed as 'a research strategy for generalizing to a target population of cases from the results of a purposively selected sample of cases' (Greene and David 1984, p. 75). It is also found to be popular in international business studies (e.g., Lin et al 2019). Unlike single case study whose analysis only focuses on understanding a particular case in depth (Forrest-Larence 2019), the MCS allows us to understand the difference or otherwise in the modes of operations of MNCs, and their behavioral tendency toward LVC development.…”

In this paper, we employed a blend of multiple and historical case study design, and a mix of institutional, behavioral, resource-based, and multinational theories, to examine the nature of multinational companies’ (MNC) engagements in local economic development and capital export practices in an African context. Evidence from our Nigerian case analysis (FrieslandCampina, Nigerian Breweries Plc. and Dangote Cement) confirms the proposition that, faced with a similar degree of uncertainty and constrained institutional environment and laying claims to differing sources of competitive advantage, both local and foreign MNCs would repatriate profits and limit exposures to local value chains (LVCs) mainly as a strategy for mitigating country risks and preserving corporate value. Such limited exposures detach MNCs, especially the foreign ones, from the LVCs, and by doing so push them to deeper reliance on the global value chains (GVCs). Linking local businesses to the GVCs is central in the inclusive development (ID) debate essentially because it allows for the redistribution of economic benefits, helps in building a complementary (rather than competitive) relationship between MNCs and local businesses, and facilitates local businesses’ access to international markets. We, therefore, recommend that in pursuit of the inclusive and sustainable development projects in Africa, industrial policies need to be tailored toward stabilizing the policy environment, protecting investments from risk of expropriation, and incentivizing MNCs’ participation in the LVCs.

“…Countries have to be able to attain economic growth, but few have managed to achieve the three dimensions of sustainable development [50]. The complexity of achieving sustainable development is high as the three dimensions, namely economic growth, broad social inclusion, and environmental sustainability, have to be achieved at the same time [51].…”

Forest fires in Indonesia are of a local, national, and global concern, which is why the activities of local actors have emerged as a new problem in Indonesia, especially in Kalimantan. The current study employed a network content analysis method to examine the involvement of actors in forest fire cases based on Supreme Court decisions, complemented by several reputable online news sources such as kompas.com, detik.com, and tribun.com. By examining the cases, the actors involved were able to be identified as key actors, contest setters, and subject actors. Key actors, referring to companies and landowners, were found to have high correlations between one another. Moreover, key actors were observed to be involved in providing funds for land clearing or burning, yet they remained legally untouchable. Meanwhile, contest setters—permanent employees—were found to be the most involved in land burning/clearing, and they were often convicted in the Supreme Court rulings as they were merely commoners, farmers, and jobseekers in need of cash. Nevertheless, the subject actors, i.e., jobseekers and farm workers, were seen to have a weak relationship with key actors in the Supreme Court rulings, particularly in terms of forest burning and its operational funding.
