From Green Governance to Biodiversity Strategy: The Role of Environmentally Experienced Directors in Chinese Firms

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how directors with environmental protection (EP) backgrounds influence corporate biodiversity concern (BIO) among Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2008 to 2023. Drawing on Upper Echelons Theory, we argue that directors' environmental expertise shapes firms' biodiversity strategies.

Sustainability Orientation and Entrepreneurial Performance in Resource‐Constrained Contexts

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how sustainability orientation shapes entrepreneurial performance in bottom‐of‐the‐pyramid (BoP) markets by theorizing responsible entrepreneurship as a central mechanism and BoP orientation as a contextual contingency. Using survey data from 283 small‐ and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) in Ghana, we integrate perspectives

Finite Element Modeling of the Transition Zone between Aggregat and Mortar in Concrete [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Visual observations to the Interfacial Transition Zone (ITZ) between aggregate and mortar in concrete showed that this area differs significantly to the bulk mortar, further away from the ITZ.
