Political Appointment of Executives, Green Action and Firm Performance: Evidence From the World Bank Enterprise Survey

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental sustainability and political influence increasingly shape corporate strategy, yet the link between politically appointed executives and firms' environmental actions remains underexplored. This study investigates whether political appointments to top executive positions influence the adoption of green action initiatives and how ...

From Material Tensions to Organizational Paradoxes: How Manufacturers Cope With the Limits of Circular Product Design

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular product design (CPD) is central to advancing the circular economy by enabling the narrowing, slowing, and closing of resource flows. Yet, its implementation remains persistently challenging for firms. Prior research has largely framed these challenges as discrete barriers, overlooking the structural contradictions embedded in CPD ...

Locked in Transition: Examining the Role of Paradoxical Tensions in the Transition From Industrial Cluster to Eco‐Clusters

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Industrial clusters are central to the circular economy transition, yet how they develop into eco‐clusters and the paradoxical tensions this transformation fuels remain underexplored. Drawing on 48 in‐depth interviews and secondary data from a Turkish textile‐recycling cluster, we develop an empirically grounded model of eco‐cluster transition

Landslide and aspect effects on artificial soil organic carbon fractions and the carbon pool management index on road-cut slopes in an alpine region

Catena, 2021
Abstract Roadway rock-cut slopes have a strong effect on soil organic carbon (SOC), its fractions and overall soil health. However, it is still unknown how SOC fraction properties are influenced under different aspect conditions. We quantified differences in artificial SOC fractions, soil nutrients, and enzyme activities across eight types of roadway

Labile organic carbon fractions and carbon pool management index in a 3-year field study with biochar amendment

Journal of Soils and Sediments, 2017
The aims of this research were to (i) systematically investigate the soil organic carbon (SOC) and labile SOC fraction dynamics over a period of 3 years under biochar amendment, (ii) reveal the relations of labile SOC fractions to SOC, and (iii) evaluate the sensitivity of SOC to biochar added at different rates by determining C pool management index ...

Short-term responses of soil organic carbon and carbon pool management index to different annual straw return rates in a rice–wheat cropping system

Catena, 2015
Abstract Crop straw return is recommended as an effective management practice to alter soil organic carbon (C) content. Understanding the effects of straw return rate on changes of soil organic C (SOC) is helpful for improving soil quality and sustaining crop productivity.
