Through a comprehensive systematic literature review, the research uncovers how CE principles can fortify and enrich LM practices, the role of LM in facilitating a transition towards CE, their combined impact on manufacturing performance, and the crucial environmental factors influencing this integration. The findings underscore that CE principles significantly strengthen LM practices by advocating waste minimization and resource optimization, thereby contributing to operational efficiency and sustainability. Conversely, LM aids the transition to a CE by optimizing resource use and minimizing waste, aligning with sustainability goals. LM supports recycling and remanufacturing by employing Just-in-Time and value stream mapping methodologies, augmented by Industry 4.0 technologies for seamless CE integration. Despite challenges like integration barriers and the need for organizational change, the synergy between CE and LM offers substantial benefits for environmental performance, operational efficiency, and competitive advantage. Our paper enriches academic knowledge and provides practical applications in sustainable manufacturing practices, offering a roadmap for organizations striving for sustainable operational excellence. Moreover, it also paves the way for future studies to further explore the synergistic potential of CE and LM through empirical studies, quantitative analyses, and the exploration of Industry 4.0 technologies.</p>","PeriodicalId":48334,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management","volume":"32 1","pages":"543-562"},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142253674","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}

Previous studies have identified several issues related to financial reporting quality, its impact on stock prices, and the relationship between financial reporting and corporate governance.

This study aims to illuminate the research trajectory affecting extractive firms by describing the state-of-the-art regarding related accounting standards through a mapping of currently accessible studies. To achieve this, we applied a bibliometric analysis methodology. Bibliometric techniques provide a quantitative approach for objectively assessing literature, offering a comprehensive overview of influential authors, journals, themes, and countries within a specific research field. This approach also facilitates the identification of research trends and the prediction of future developments. The study highlights the growing demand for sustainability reports as the primary formalized means for companies to disclose their sustainable development efforts.

The study uncovers certification agencies, interpersonal trust between suppliers and buyers, and suppliers' size, as key constructs that influence how suppliers perceive and process risks and ambiguities, and in turn how that influences their adoption of sustainability practices. Combining these empirical insights with the stakeholder and relational view theories, we develop a comprehensive framework to model suppliers' sustainability decision-making in the face of uncertainty.

By considering the tension between legitimacy and efficiency, and utilizing the 2206 firm-year data from 473 publicly listed CMNEs from 2011 to 2019, we illustrate the distinct effects between two types of CSR (e.g., internal CSR and external CSR) and internationalization speed. While external CSR focuses on commitments to external stakeholders, such as customers, communities, and the environment, internal CSR prioritizes internal practices and rules that fulfill the organization's duties to the employees. Specifically, the costs associated with engaging in internal CSR surpass the legitimacy gains, resulting in a negative impact on internationalization speed; conversely, the efficiency benefits of engaging in external CSR outweigh the legitimacy losses, thereby positively influencing internationalization speed. What is more, institutional distance, which captures the difference in institutional profiles between two countries, weakens the positive impact of external CSR on internationalization speed but intensifies the negative effect of internal CSR on internationalization speed. This research contributes to the international business literature by considering a balanced perspective on the trade-off between legitimacy and efficiency.

Furthermore, information asymmetric moderates the U-shaped CCP–COD relationship, with lower information asymmetric flattening the shape of the U-shaped curve. Overall, the existence of a non-linear pattern reconciles the extant inconsistent evidence that suggests either a positive or a negative CCP–COD linkage.

We first develop the theoretical argument that firms with female CEOs (SHE'-E-Os) have low pay dispersion due to their behavioral preferences—risk aversion and competition avoidance. Furthermore, we investigate how these preferences change over time—<i>heterogeneous life-cycle stages</i>—which provides a long-term perspective further enriching our understanding of the gender and organizational compensation structure. Using a 1992–2014 panel dataset from multiple sources, we find SHE'-E-Os are negatively associated with pay dispersion, particularly in firms during introduction, growth, or decline stages, as opposed to mature stages.

Econometric analyses on collaborations reported by 118 Italian listed firms in their non-financial disclosures in 2017–2019 confirm their signaling function. Most reported collaborations do not imply firms' operational engagements. Firms' propensity to collaborate is higher when their activities are less observable, institutional monitoring is weak, and alternative signaling mechanisms are absent. However, signaling determinants are weaker when collaborations involve firm-level operational engagements.
