The interplay of corporate entrepreneurship,environmental orientation,and performance in clean‐tech firms—A double‐edged sword

Clean‐tech innovations are an important driver in solving global issues such as climate change and for the sustainable development of economies around the world. Whereas a large part of the literature focuses on clean‐tech ventures, less is known on corporate entrepreneurship, that is, entrepreneurial behavior in established firms and its relation to sustainability. This paper extends the sustainable entrepreneurship debate to corporate entrepreneurship, which represents a fruitful avenue to further developing clean technologies. We focus particularly on clean‐tech firms' organizational preparedness for corporate entrepreneurship (OPCE), that is, how well a firm's structures and processes are set for entrepreneurial activities. On the basis of contingency theory, this study investigates how the level of OPCE influences the environmental and financial performance of clean‐tech firms and whether their environmental orientation affects these relationships. Building on data from 103 firms, we find support for a positive effect of OPCE on both environmental and financial performance. Both effects are stronger the higher the external environmental orientation. In contrast, the leverage of internal environmental orientation is not equally positive. Our study reveals that the effect of OPCE on financial performance diminishes for firms that are more strongly driven by an internal than an external environmental orientation.     

Operational excellence in a green supply chain for environmental management: A case study

Nowadays, organizations have started to become more conscious about the environment in their supply chain operations. The greening process has guided supply chain practices into new ways of thinking according to green standards. The assessment of the performance of green supply chain management (GSCM) requires a holistic view for the whole supply chain. In this context, given that becoming green in the operational side of activities is essential, the performance assessment of operational activities also requires a holistic view to be taken. In this paper, an attempt has been made to improve the performance of GSCM by examining and evaluating the green operational excellence of a hot dip galvanizing company. The framework includes several green operational excellence key criteria, namely, quality management, efficiency management, green production/manufacturing, eco‐packaging, and green design. First, the weights of the criteria and the respective measurements were found by fuzzy analytic network process. Then, the overall operational performance score was found by a weighted scoring method. Finally, both managerial and theoretical implications were suggested according to the outcomes and findings of the case study.     

The effect of mergers and acquisitions on environmental,social and governance performance and market value: Evidence from EU acquirers

This study explores the effect of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance on market value and performance in the context of mergers and acquisitions. We examine whether acquisition of targets with better ESG performance can help acquirers to increase their own ESG performance and whether the market values the increased ESG performance positively. Moreover, we explore whether the acquisition of targets with better ESG performance affects the market value of acquirers. For this study, we utilize a sample of 100 European mergers and acquisitions between 2003 and 2017, for which matching data on the ESG performance of both the target and acquiring firms are available. Our results show that the postmerger ESG performance of the acquirer increases following the acquisition of a target that has higher ESG performance than that of the acquirer in the premerger stage, whereas the postmerger market value of the acquirer increases following an increase in the acquirer's postmerger ESG performance in relation to its premerger ESG performance. Finally, we provide partial evidence of a positive relationship between the postmerger market value of the acquirer and the acquisition of a target with higher ESG performance than itself in the premerger stage.

基于PSO-SAS的联合侦察任务规划

针对联合侦察筹划中任务规划阶段机动侦察平台阵位与路线确定困难的问题，提出了一种基于粒子群优化-稀疏A星(Particle Swarm Optimization—Sparse A-star,PSO-SAS)算法的规划方法。该方法综合考虑侦察装备机动性能以及敌火力威胁、地形等因素，在侦察阵位规划上，建立了阵位综合评估模型，并利用粒子群算法进行阵位寻优；在路线规划上，采用稀疏A*算法进行航迹规划，通过将机动性能、安全距离、路程等约束引入搜索过程，缩短最优路线的计算时间。仿真试验验证了所提方法生成的侦察阵位和路线能够满足侦察任务要求。     

利用双正交小波变换优化G3-PLC系统性能

为了提高G3-PLC(G3-Power Line Communication)在复杂信道环境下通信的可靠性，提出了基于双正交小波变换的正交频分复用（Discrete Wavelet Transform-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,DWT-OFDM）。通过双正交小波变换减小复杂信道环境下G3-PLC通信系统中OFDM载波间干扰，并通过合理减少循环前缀，优化传输效率，降低峰均比。在DWT-OFDM的G3-PLC系统中，通过不同小波基性能分析与对比，利用bior6.8双正交小波基进行系统性能优化。将DWT-OFDM的G3-PLC系统在实际电力线噪声库环境下进行实验分析，仿真结果表明，在平均误码率为10-3量级时，性能有5 dB左右提升，通信效率由40%提高至54%；结合限幅法，峰均比由11 dB降低至8 dB，通信性能极大优于基于FFT-OFDM的G3-PLC系统。

自恋领导对下属绩效的影响研究：基于关系视角

近年来,在领导特质研究领域,自恋领导得到了学者的广泛关注。尽管现有研究探讨了自恋领导对下属的影响效果,但鲜有研究从领导与下属人际互动视角揭示自恋领导的作用机制。本研究基于领导特质过程模型和权威互补理论,探讨自恋领导对下属绩效的影响,并挖掘其内在影响机制以及作用边界条件。通过对一家保险公司进行多时点、多来源的问卷调查,研究结果表明：自恋领导对下属绩效具有显著的负向影响；关系冲突在其中起中介作用；下属权力距离负向调节了自恋领导与关系冲突之间的正向关系,即下属权力距离越低,自恋领导与关系冲突的正向关系越强,反之则越弱。此外,当下属权力距离较低时,关系冲突的中介作用更强,反之则被削弱。     

变革中多渠道信息传递对员工绩效的影响机制

面对日趋复杂的外部环境,组织变革成为企业获得竞争力的重要方式。员工参与是组织变革成败的关键,充足的组织变革信息有利于员工积极投入变革。本文以社会信息加工理论为基础,对来自被兼并企业的36个工作团队185名员工进行研究,探索多渠道变革信息传递对员工的影响机制。基于多层次线性模型的数据分析结果表明:(1)变革情境下,组织正式渠道进行信息沟通和变革氛围包含的非正式信息,均能正向促进员工变革绩效;(2)员工所持有的积极变革期望,在多渠道信息传递和变革绩效间起到中介作用;(3)变革氛围跨层调节变革信息沟通对员工积极变革期望的正向作用,相比于低变革氛围情景,具有高变革氛围的团队,通过变革信息沟通更能显著提升员工对变革的积极期望。研究结论对企业变革实践中信息传递和沟通工作具有现实指导意义。
