Rapid urbanization has sharply increased the pressure of urban water issues (e.g., urban flooding and water pollution) in the Chinese megacities during last three decades. Sustainable urban water management approaches, such as Nature Based Solutions (NBS) and Low Impact Developments (LIDs), have successfully delivered long-term benefits to cities in Europe and North America. Similarly, the Chinese Sponge City Program (SCP) initiated in 2013 and experimented in 30 pilot Chinese cities. This paper reviewed the first stage of the SCP from 2015 to 2020 by using observation, Semi-Structured Interview (SSI) and Focus Group Approach (FGA) in context of Gui'an New Distinct, SW China to investigate the SCP progress and issues: (1). whether it is effectively solving urban water issues; (2). if there are any major challenges and barriers in the SCP practice. The findings of this case study provide potential solutions for improving the SCP and sustainable urban water management and possibly transform to other Sponge Cities in China.

“…Political ties are social networks that new ventures build with government officials (Peng and Luo, 2000; Li et al ., 2009; Wu, 2011; Yang et al ., 2018) and can help against external obstacles in the process from opportunity development to innovation strategy. We focus on stable or existing political ties, rather than new or dynamic ties.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this research is to reveal how to improve the quality of entrepreneurship by exploring the key factor, opportunity development, impacting the innovation strategy of new ventures. It also introduces political and business ties as moderating variables to reveal the uniqueness of entrepreneurial activities in the Chinese context.Design/methodology/approachEmpirical data from 215 entrepreneurs and top executives in Chinese new ventures were gathered through a survey and the statistical method used is the regression model.FindingsThe empirical results indicate that: (1) new ventures' opportunity creation positively impacts innovation strategy, while opportunity discovery has a curvilinear (inverted U-shape) impact on innovation strategy; (2) the relationship between opportunity development and innovation strategy is moderated by political and business ties.Originality/valueThis research analyzes and compares the effect of opportunity discovery and opportunity creation on new ventures' innovation strategy. This research further offers an in-depth understanding of the influence mechanism between opportunity development and innovation strategy among Chinese new ventures. Further, the results provide practical guidance for new ventures to develop innovation strategies and for Chinese governments to make entrepreneurial policies.

“…A firm’s political ties affect underwriter’s perception by serving not only as channels to access scarce resources, limited opportunities, and valuable internal information but also as indicators of bargaining power (Song et al, 2014). To illustrate, political ties are a common informal cue in China that a company has a “big brother in their back seat” (J. Yang et al, 2018).…”

This study draws on institutional theory to explore the relationship between family involvement, governmental connections, and initial public offering (IPO) underpricing in China. We explore these relationships using a sample of 577 manufacturing firms listed on the small and medium enterprises board of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange over a 10-year period (2004-2014). In contrast with previous literature, we found that Chinese family firms tend to exhibit less IPO underpricing than nonfamily firms. In addition, we found family members’ political ties enhance the negative relationship between family involvement and IPO underpricing. In contrast, state ownership mitigates the above relationship.
