“…(Chang in Peabody) To summarize, the SCAQMD's enforcement style takes on a typical feature of traditional command-and-control, that is, a deterrence strategy. On the contrary, the MADEP's strategy can be characterized as command-andassist (O'Rourke & Lee, 2004). As we shall see later, the two differing styles of regulatory enforcement contributed to the emergence of an adversarial relationship in Southern California and a collaborative one in Massachusetts.…”

This article attempts to fill the gaps in traditional compliance theories and argues that the actor's identity formulated by socio-political contexts influences the propensity to move toward or away from compliance. Although regulated entities are sometimes instrumentally rational or norms oriented, they also base their behavioral choices on situated judgments in ways that are more varied and changing than existing compliance theories have suggested. The comparative case studies presented here focus on how the socio-political relations of actors are manifested in identities of self and others in interaction and, in turn, translate into compliance choice making.

“…There are three main factors currently affecting the SMEs' environmental activities: environmental regulations, stakeholders' pressure, and competitive advantage [1][2][3]. First, environmental regulations can curb pollution levels by motivating or even requiring polluting firms to decrease their emissions [4][5][6]. However, environmental regulations have exhibited limitations regarding both the distribution of environmental technologies to the SMEs and the composition of readily understandable regulations for the SMEs [1,7].…”

Abstract:As the impact of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) on the environment increases, there is a need for effective environmental policies to sustain their development. Under this condition, SMEs implement innovation to meet environmental regulations and to achieve environmental competitiveness in sustainability. We examine the impact of environmental innovation on labor productivity in SME manufacturers. The literature shows that complementary assets help SMEs to increase their performance in environmental innovation. Therefore, we study the interactive effects of the SMEs' business-group affiliation and the listing status on the relationship between environmental innovation and labor productivity. We add these interaction terms to multivariate regressions by using the 2010 Korea Innovation Survey. The results show that SMEs are able to use environmental innovation as a business strategy for green growth with improved labor productivity. Also, the results highlight that the business-group affiliation and the listing status as the complementary assets positively moderate the performance of the environmental innovation of the SMEs.

“…The year 1993 was selected as the first year to examine, because by then data quality had greatly improved 8 . During the first years of the program, many companies had not learned how to report accurately.…”

“…An ounce of pollution prevention is worth over 167 billion pounds of cure: a decade of pollution prevention results, 1990e2000, (http://www.p2.org/p2results/2418_historyfinal.pdf) combining data from state programs, found a variety of units of measurement used by each 8. Because the three TURA agencies (OTA, TURI, and DEP) have conducted data quality checks, the data set is sufficiently large, and there is no expectation of a bias in the occurrence of input errors, the inevitable instances of misreporting by companies are not expected to have an impact on the conclusions.…”
