Green Leadership in China
This book examines green management practices among top-performing companies operating on the Chinese mainland. It begins with the question: what constitutes a “green” company? Is this definition different when we consider China’s sustainability efforts? Taken into consideration are such aspects as green management vision, supplier management programs, resource usage and investment in the environment. Through in-depth interviews with sustainability leaders and top executives, this Green Management Book will reveal how to systematically create or improve existing green management strategies in China. It uses actual case studies from domestic and foreign companies to highlight these practices. Over 2 years of extensive research - working with the research board of the Fortune China CSR rankings and China-based CSR strategy platform InnoCSR – contribute to a comprehensive list of companies that are leading the way towards a greener China.
The Changing Role of the Korean State
How and why has the Korean state changed its way of handling the society and its markets over the past two decades? The Changing Role of the Korean State finds that the explosion of contentious civil society after democratization coeval with the outbreak of the financial crisis following rapid economic growth, are closely associated with the decline of developmentalism. Despite these profound changes, however, the Korean state has not totally relinquished its control over the society and the market. Rather, although its methods have been altered it remains to be highly interventionalist and regulatory in nature. The state continues to use its influence to restructure the socio-economic syste...
The Role of Corporate Sustainability in Asian Development
This book examines the challenges faced by seven multinational companies - Intel, Lenovo, Samsung Electronics, ZTE, BMW Hyundai Motor Company, Mahindra and Mahindra - in their endeavour to contribute to the economic, environmental and social development of Asia. The lessons learned from the examination of these business practices may directly contribute to an increase in the practice of sustainable management and may as such contribute to positive economic, environmental and social impact of companies in this region. The cases are highly relevant for management theoreticians seeking to deepen our understanding of corporate sustainability in an area where scholars, practitioners and policy-makers can expect new questions, problems and challenges in the years ahead. The book is also of high interest to policy review agencies, policy makers and welfare economists seeking to support the development of a comprehensive sustainability framework for managing social and environmental issues in the context of Asia.

Emerging Multinationals in Emerging Markets
Why have so many firms in emerging economies internationalized quite aggressively in the last decade? What competitive advantages do these firms enjoy and what are the origins of those advantages? Through what strategies have they built their global presence? How is their internationalization affecting Western rivals? And, finally, what does all this mean for mainstream international business theory? In Emerging Multinationals in Emerging Markets, a distinguished group of international business scholars tackle these questions based on a shared research design. The heart of the book contains detailed studies of emerging-market multinationals (EMNEs) from the BRIC economies, plus Israel, Mexico, South Africa, and Thailand. The studies show that EMNEs come in many shapes and sizes, depending on the home-country context. Furthermore, EMNEs leverage distinctive competitive advantages and pursue distinctive internationalization paths. This timely analysis of EMNEs promises to enrich mainstream models of how firms internationalize in today's global economy.
Auf dem Weg zur grünen Weltmacht?
In den letzten Jahrzehnten kam kaum eine Auseinandersetzung, die sich mit globaler Machtverschiebung beschäftigte, ohne Verweis auf den beeindruckenden ökonomischen Aufstieg des Reichs der Mitte seit den 1980er Jahren und seine schon heute prägende Rolle in der international verflochtenen Weltwirtschaft aus. Im Angesicht verlockender Gewinnmöglichkeiten durch Outsourcing und Offshoring, wurde häufig ignoriert, dass China für seine Hochgeschwindigkeits-Industrialisierung eine katastrophale Umweltverschmutzung in Kauf nahm. Seit einigen Jahren jedoch sind die ökologischen Folgen, die das grenzenlos erscheinende Wirtschaftswachstum verursacht hat, unübersehbar und zu einer Bedrohung für die Gesundheit vieler der 1,4 Milliarden Chinesen geworden. Die Erkenntnis "(that) human society is embedded in, and completely depend(s) upon the earth's natural system" hat weltweit und somit auch in China zu einem Bewusstseinswandel geführt Die Frage ist heute nicht mehr ob, sondern wie lange die großen Wirtschaftsmächte ihren bisher wenig nachhaltigen Entwicklungsweg fortsetzen können. Die chinesische Umwelt-Debatte besitzt daher globalen Charakter.
