The Proximal Augmented Lagrangian Method for Nonsmooth Composite Optimization

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2019
We study a class of optimization problems in which the objective function is given by the sum of a differentiable but possibly nonconvex component and a nondifferentiable convex regularization term. We introduce an auxiliary variable to separate the objective function components and utilize the Moreau envelope of the regularization term to derive the ...

Reciprocity on the Edge of Distance Paradox: How Sustainability Motives and Hypocrisy Shape Consumer Responses to Nearshoring

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite growing interest in corporate relocation decisions and sustainability, the existing literature is limited in its consumer‐centric approach. Integrating social exchange theory and construal level theory, this research investigates how consumers perceive sustainability‐driven nearshoring motives (i.e., socio‐economic vs.

How Corporations Operationalize Climate‐Related Risks and Opportunities: Evidence From Qualitative Expert Interviews

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate‐related risks and opportunities have become a central concern for companies as climate change increasingly affects business models, value chains, and long‐term competitiveness. However, limited evidence exists about how corporations confront the attendant practical and strategic challenges of climate‐related risk and opportunity ...

Digital Orientation and Green Practices in Chilean SMEs: Innovation as the Pathway to Competitive Performance

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how digital strategic orientation (DSO) and environmental practices (EP) interact to shape innovation and performance among Chilean SMEs. Using survey data from 271 firms (February–May 2022), we estimate a generalized structured component analysis (GSCA) model that accommodates a nonrecursive relationship between DSO and EP.

Semi-proximal Mirror-Prox for Nonsmooth Composite Minimization

open access: yesCoRR, 2015
We propose a new first-order optimisation algorithm to solve high-dimensional non-smooth composite minimisation problems. Typical examples of such problems have an objective that decomposes into a non-smooth empirical risk part and a non-smooth regularisation penalty.

Automating Sustainability: How Climate Action Unlocks the ESG Potential of Industrial Robotics

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The convergence of Industry 4.0 and global sustainability goals presents a critical paradox: while automation drives efficiency, its net impact on comprehensive environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance remains contested. This study investigates the relationship between industrial robot and country‐level ESG performance across 63

Smart Cities Leading the Green Transition: Linking Open Innovation and Entrepreneurial Dynamics

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smart cities today are vibrant spaces where technology, collaboration, and sustainability come together to shape a better future. The green transition in cities is not just about building greener infrastructure or cutting emissions. It also changes how people, institutions, and businesses think and act.
