The Relationship between Environmental Performance and Economic Results: The Impact of Provincial Environment Competition on Enterprise Environmental Management——Case Studies from ‘Baogang' and ‘Angang'

关于企业环境业绩与经济业绩之间的关系,边际分析强调企业会基于经济业绩实施环境管理并影响其环境业绩,但是证据表明企业环境管理没有完全将提升利润或股东回报作为目标。可持续发展之下的合法性理论有助于对经济发展与环境管理的关系提供系统的描述,然而在解释中国环境问题时存在不足。关注我国"省域环境竞争"现象,采用意向合法性理论,可以有效地解释企业的环境管理及业绩。案例分析展现出企业的环境管理和自愿性环境业绩报告是对省域环境管制压力的战略性反应,同时在决策中也遵循了边际成本最小化原则。

But empirical results did not comply with the hypotheses that firms is working for economic results by managing environmental initiatives. Based on concept of sustainable development,the relationship between economy development and environmental initiatives was being explained by legitimacy theory. However,the relationship could be explained by dispositional legitimacy theory under Chinese institutional condition. Cases analysis show that environment management and enterprise' voluntary environmental disclosure be affected by the regulation,provincial competition,and enterprise' environmental strategy,while enterprise make decision by analyzing marginal costs.
