Broad Skills, Smaller Footprints? Generalist CEOs and Firm Biodiversity Exposure
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We examine whether CEO generalist skills predict firm‐level biodiversity risk exposure, an emerging strategic and financial concern. Using the biodiversity indicator developed based on textual analysis and the General Ability Index, we find that firms led by generalist CEOs are associated with significantly lower disclosed biodiversity risk ...

Timber beam seismic design – A numerical simulation
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2018 To seismic design of timber beam, effect of near-fault ground motion on timber beam has numerically been investigated, with refer to small displacement theory. The simulated near-fault ground motion is applied on the fixed base of timber frame model. The

Biodiversity Strategies in Action—Empirical Evidence From the Food Value Chain
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT There is an increasing need for better understanding of firm activities that contribute to biodiversity preservation. Panwar, Ober, and Pinkse offer a valuable typology of corporate biodiversity protection strategies based on temporal and spatial dimensions, namely, the preloss (proactive) strategies of conservation and compensation, and the ...

Deforestation‐Free Cocoa: Implications for Organizational Adaptation and Compliance Costs
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Mandatory due diligence is an emerging policy instrument for addressing global environmental challenges, yet how such regulations reshape firm‐level organizational structures and generate compliance costs remains poorly understood. Drawing on organizational theory, this study examines how companies in the German cocoa and chocolate sector ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rocking podium isolation systems have gained significant research interest as a method of limiting seismic demands on superstructures and eliminating residual post‐earthquake drifts through self‐centring behaviour. However, while numerous models of varying complexity, including analytical, phenomenological, and physical formulations, have been

OPTIMAL DESIGN OF TIMBER-FRAME BUILDINGS
International Journal for Computational Civil and Structural EngineeringThe problem of optimal design of timber frame structures is addressed. A computational algorithm has been developed and tested for selecting the cross-sectional areas of structural elements to minimize material volume while satisfying code requirements ...
