Moreover, content alignment among a firm’s internal strategic management components helps create consistency in a firm’s sustainability communication to various stakeholders. While management may view the fluid nature of a diverse set of external sustainability drivers with concern, our framework provides them with an adaptive and context-related approach to strategic sustainability management that can be tailored, as ever-changing external sustainability drivers require.","PeriodicalId":312726,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategies for Sustainability","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129859129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, not all shareholders receive the same attention from managers. In fact, there are studies showing that the existence of certain shareholder attributes are necessary for managers pay attention on their claims. It has been suggested that legitimacy is the strongest attribute associated with shareholder saliency, a claim that is backed by a considerable body of qualitative research. Our findings, based on quantitative analysis, suggest that power plays a key role in shareholder salience. Contrary to the assumption that minority shareholder resolutions are put forward when engagement between shareholders and company managers breaks down, we find that in the majority of instances where we have both shareholder engagement and one or more shareholder resolutions, that in fact the minority resolution proceeded the engagement and may well have been required in order to gain attention from the company. Despite claims to the contrary from investors and from corporate managers, it appears that shareholder power remains a key aspect in shareholder saliency. This paper goes on to ask if there is a greater chance of success in achieving the stated ESG goal with the company the dialogue occurred before the resolution was put forward rather than if the dialogue occurred after the resolution was put forward.","PeriodicalId":312726,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategies for Sustainability","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133143111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the corporate sector has been identified as an important actor to address these challenges, understanding why certain companies choose to adopt sustainability initiatives, while others do not, is an important question. However, little previous research has addressed how sustainability is linked with core business strategies and concepts. In this chapter, we address this gap by highlighting how corporate strategic orientations relate to adherence to an ecological worldview and different measures of sustainability performance. Using an analytical framework where companies are classified according to their level of market and entrepreneurial orientation, we find that companies high in these orientations also display higher levels of integration of sustainability in corporate strategies and culture. The main implication of this study points to the importance of market and entrepreneurial strategic orientations among companies committed to sustainability values and practices.","PeriodicalId":312726,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategies for Sustainability","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123566477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
