Abstract

Purpose This study aims to examine how external and internal conditions drive the impact of circular economy mechanism by decomposing into three policy networks in terms of reduce, reuse and recycle, to better understand the contingency model of climate change and effect of firm size on subsequent performance. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on circular economy network and resource-based view (RBV)-network-resilience strategy framework, a pooled longitudinal cross-sectional data model is developed using a sample of 4,050 Taiwanese manufacturing multinational corporations (MNCs) making foreign direct investment between 2013 and 2018. Structural equation modeling analysis is used to comprehensively examine and investigate each circular economy policy network in the context of climate change and firm size. Post hoc multigroup analysis (MGA) is also conducted. Findings MGA shows that the reduce policy network is positively and negatively related to manufacturing know-how and production size, respectively. The impact of reuse policy network can enhance the competence of large firms. The recycle policy network is more prominent in terms of competence enhancement of climate change. Practical implications MNCs are seeking to build circular economy policy networks to a greater extent, given climate change pressure and guidelines. Originality/value This study adds to the circular economy and RBV-network-related literature on climate change and interactions to enhance performance, echoing the recent call on the sustainability of the circular economy of MNCs.

循环经济网络建设的影响：应对气候行动的复原力战略

目的本研究旨在通过分解为减少、再利用和回收三个政策网络，考察外部和内部条件如何驱动循环经济机制的影响，以更好地理解气候变化的应急模型以及企业规模对后续绩效的影响。设计/方法论/方法借鉴循环经济网络和基于资源的视角（RBV）-网络弹性战略框架，利用2013年至2018年间4050家台湾制造业跨国公司的样本，开发了一个纵向-横截面数据汇总模型。结构方程建模分析用于在气候变化和企业规模的背景下全面检查和调查每个循环经济政策网络。还进行了事后多组分析（MGA）。研究结果表明，减排政策网络分别与制造业专业知识和生产规模呈正相关和负相关。重用策略网络的影响可以提高大型企业的竞争力。回收政策网络在提高应对气候变化的能力方面更为突出。实际含义考虑到气候变化的压力和指导方针，跨国公司正在寻求在更大程度上建立循环经济政策网络。原创性/价值本研究增加了循环经济和RBV网络相关的关于气候变化和互动的文献，以提高绩效，呼应了最近关于跨国公司循环经济可持续性的呼吁。

期刊介绍： Effective from volume 10 (2018), International Journal of Climate Change Strategies and Management is an open access journal. In the history of science there have been only a few issues which have mobilized the attention of scientists and policy-makers alike as the issue of climate change currently does. International Journal of Climate Change Strategies and Management is an international forum that addresses the need for disseminating scholarly research, projects and other initiatives aimed to facilitate a better understanding of the subject matter of climate change. The journal publishes papers dealing with policy-making on climate change, and methodological approaches to cope with the problems deriving from climate change. It disseminates experiences from projects and case studies where due consideration to environmental, economic, social and political aspects is given and especially the links and leverages that can be attained by this holistic approach. It regards climate change under the perspective of its wider implications: for economic growth, water and food security, and for people''s survival – especially those living in the poorest communities in developing countries.
