“…Effectively balance strategic differentiation with legal consistency. Costa [ 42 ]and Wang et al [ 43 ]further introduced exploratory and exploratory innovation as the mechanism by which CSR affects exports. Exploratory innovation mainly uses the acquired new knowledge and skills to create new products and services, while exploitative innovation focuses on using existing knowledge and skills to improve existing products.…”

“…It has also been proposed as a policy tool to stop lending to erring zombie firms in terms of environmental and pollution parameters (Kong, Wang, & Wang, 2022). Given the prominent position that China holds globally to improve environment-related considerations (Wang, Wang, Guan, & Taghizadeh-Hesary, 2023), it is of the utmost importance for the government to ensure that zombies do not undo their efforts. Shao et al (2023) provide evidence that zombie firms depress innovation; hence, governments must be aware of this while extending subsidized credit to them.…”

PurposeThis paper reviews the literature on zombie firms to provide a holistic view by delineating their formation, impact, widespread nature, prevention and policy implications.Design/methodology/approachThis paper uses a systematic literature review methodology, in which 76 papers published in journals ranked on the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC) 2022 list were reviewed. The study period was from 2000 to 2022.FindingsAmong the main findings, the widespread problems of zombie firms were evident. The authors found that consistent support, either in the form of government grants or a weak financial framework, was responsible for their formation. The suboptimal performance of factors of production, depressed job creation, low innovation and overall negative impact on economic activity are the consequences of zombification. This can be controlled by ensuring better bankruptcy codes, focused on government assistance, technology use and better due diligence by banks.Practical implicationsThis review serves as a reference point for future researchers as a cohesive and holistic study presenting a full picture of the problem, so that the proposed solutions are robust and tenable.Originality/valueThis review is among the initial attempts to comprehensively study published work on zombie firms in terms of analyzing their region-specific nature, with an emphasis on definition, causes, impact and prevention.

This study aims to fill a crucial gap in current research by examining the multifaceted relationships between energy depletion, technical cooperation grants, industrialization, and environmental degradation. By focusing on Pakistan, a country emblematic of many developing nations facing rapid industrialization and resource constraints, this research offers valuable insights with broad applicability. The significance of this study lies in its innovative approach of utilizing load capacity factor as a novel proxy for environmental sustainability, moving beyond traditional metrics like CO2 emissions and ecological footprints. The study analyzes time series data from 1970 to 2022 using advanced econometric techniques, particularly the dynamic autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model. The findings reveal a nuanced picture of the impact of energy depletion, technical cooperation grants, and industrialization on environmental degradation. Energy depletion and industrialization are found to exert a significant and adverse influence on environmental quality, exacerbating degradation over time. Conversely, technical cooperation grants emerge as a mitigating factor, demonstrating a positive association with environmental sustainability. Moreover, the study conducts a sensitivity analysis by comparing the results obtained using the load capacity factor with those derived from ecological footprints. This comparative analysis offers robust insights into the dynamics of environmental degradation, enriching the understanding of the complex interplay between economic activities and environmental outcomes. Further, policies are discussed for theory and practice.
