| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project investigated why and how firms develop and deploy capabilities to mitigate the impact of business activities on the natural environment. 4 separate studies into this topic found that: 1. firms developing pollution reducing technologies, engage in more organizational exploration than exploitation, and emphasize incremental-rather than radical-technologies; 2. stronger national environmental regulations discourage Japanese firms from entering a country but this effect is reversed in Japanese firms with high environmental capabilities; 3. Japanese manufacturing facilities cause more damage to the local environment in firms that operate in more Japanese municipalities; 4. Japanese facilities polluting more than competitors work harder to improve their environmental when located in Japanese municipalities with more powerful local stakeholders. Together, these studies provide important theoretical and practical insights into environmental business strategy issues.
