The results show that collaborative networks are highly structured and exhibit small-world characteristics. Furthermore, in the evolving landscape of China's PPPs, the collaboration network has shifted into three governance patterns: government-SOEs (State-owned enterprises) driven, SOEs-consulting driven, and SOEs dominant. In addition, results reveal that network evolution is promoted by transitive triads, the similarity of organizational size, and geographic proximity, while it is hindered by outdegree, similarities of organizational age and type. The findings provide insights for partner selection and the involvement of governments in public service delivery and the development of governance strategies.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48056,"journal":{"name":"Governance-An International Journal of Policy Administration and Institutions","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142851510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Identification of Barriers and Driving Forces for Circular Economy (CE) Implementation in Water and Wastewater Companies","authors":"Marzena Smol, Dominika Szołdrowska, Joanna Duda","doi":"10.1002/bse.4097","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/bse.4097","url":null,"abstract":"Water and wastewater management sector is one of the basic areas of implementing a circular economy (<jats:sc>CE</jats:sc>). Enterprises operating in this sector are mainly wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) managed by municipalities or private companies. They encounter various barriers and facilitators to implement <jats:sc>CE</jats:sc>, in the area of technology development and management. However, a limited number of works in the available literature focus on nontechnological aspects of implementing <jats:sc>CE</jats:sc> in WWTPs. Therefore, this paper presents a comprehensive analysis of challenges (including driving forces and barriers) for WWTPs in the process of implementing <jats:sc>CE</jats:sc> policy goals. The PESTEL strategic analysis method was used, taking into account the identification of political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal factors. It was confirmed that there are more incentives than barriers to actively implementing <jats:sc>CE</jats:sc> model in analyzed enterprises. The most important driving forces include: (i) favorable European <jats:sc>CE</jats:sc> policy, as recommendations and law regulations in the area of water, raw materials, and energy recovery; (ii) society's pressure on resource protection; (iii) possible revenues from the sale of recovered water, energy or <jats:sc>CE</jats:sc>‐fertilizers; (iv) financial support for <jats:sc>CE</jats:sc> solutions. Among defined barriers that could slow down the circular transformation, the most important are: (i) lack of clearly stated regulations regarding water, energy, and raw materials recovery, as well as transparency and regulatory risk; (ii) limited own financial resources of WWTPs operators; (iii) high cost of investments and maintaining recovery/recycling technologies. Those results may be of key importance to practitioners in strategic decision making for the improved application of circularity in the operating process. Because the implementation of <jats:sc>CE</jats:sc> solutions should have an integrated approach throughout the enterprise, it is recommended to develop circular business models for these companies, that would take into account both the core business (water and wastewater management) as well as possibilities of further <jats:sc>CE</jats:sc> implementation, such as recovery of water, energy, and raw materials. In the coming years, such solutions could be financially supported by the national and European sources, which may have a positive impact on the acceleration to the <jats:sc>CE</jats:sc> model.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"82 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142825060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examine this question in the context of competing expectations among key corporate governance actors during the onboarding process of independent directors. This study explores how independent directors navigate these expectations, which stem from both external change agents, such as government agencies and the media, and internal actors, especially management. Given the inherent ambiguity of their roles, which involve multiple board tasks and lack explicit definition, independent directors often face role conflicts. Our findings reveal that independent directors resolve these conflicts by adopting one of three role orientations: external adaptive, organizational alignment, or provisional balancing. Through this process, they construct their director role by coping with the expectations of key governance actors. This study contributes to the micro-foundations of corporate governance research by shedding light on the individual-level dynamics that shape how independent directors interpret and enact their roles.","PeriodicalId":54212,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142831927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In various decision-making situations, individuals usually hold diverse prior beliefs and engage in communication with their social connections to make informed decisions. However, most existing research focuses on isolated steps of this process, overlooking the overall complexity of decision-making in social networks. To bridge this important research gap, our paper aims to explore the key steps involved in the process and develop a holistic framework for analyzing how individuals form, exchange and update beliefs, ultimately leading to opinion dynamics and group decision behaviors in a social network. Specifically, relevant literature that focuses on different steps will be reviewed and drawn together to characterize the decision-making process in a comprehensive and systematic manner: individuals form initial beliefs following the principle of multiple criteria decision-making intuitively, information propagates in the social network and affects individuals’ beliefs differently in a form of social influence, beliefs evolve through dynamic interactions with others, and eventually individuals make their decisions, leading to group decision behaviors in the social network. Applications will be briefly discussed to illustrate the practical implications of this research. Finally, conclusions and future research outlook will be discussed in detail. It is expected that the holistic framework developed on the basis of the comprehensive literature review can provide in-depth insights into decision analysis in social networks and shed light on future research and applications towards effective integration of decision science, operational research, and social network analysis.","PeriodicalId":55161,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Operational Research","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142874807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using an online experiment, this study investigates the impact of the racial/ethnic composition of nonprofit leadership on job-seeking behaviors. While participants consistently view POC-led nonprofits as more committed to diversity, this positive perception does not influence their job choices. When given a choice, White individuals tend to prefer working for White-led nonprofits, whereas people of color show no strong preference between POC-led and White-led nonprofits. The results shed light on the complexities of racial representation in talent acquisition, offering important insights into the broader discourse on nonprofit diversity and the persistent barriers POC-led organizations face in achieving diverse staffing.","PeriodicalId":47609,"journal":{"name":"Review of Public Personnel Administration","volume":"76 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142831997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Constructing a CEO power index and employing firm‐level carbon emissions data, we document a significant negative relationship between CEO power and carbon emissions, suggesting that firms with powerful CEOs better manage their carbon emissions. Extending our analyses into different dimensions of power, we find that the CEO power–emissions management relationship mainly comes from structural power and expert power sources. Further analyses show that emissions management plays a significant mediating role in the association between CEO power and firm performance. A survey administered among sustainability managers of large Australian companies reveals corroborative evidence that the leadership of powerful CEOs is an essential element in managing carbon emissions and mitigating the risk associated with climate change. The findings of this study provide insights to policymakers, regulators and corporate top‐management teams regarding an issue that is under severe public scrutiny and social pressure.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142832265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
