In this context, we are exploring how FinTech adoption provides opportunities to address corporate greenwashing. Drawing on an affordance perspective, we assert that FinTech adoption effectively inhibits corporate greenwashing behaviour, primarily through facilitating green innovation and improving managerial efficiency. We also contend that the impact of FinTech adoption on reducing greenwashing behaviour is not uniform across all industries. It is more pronounced in heavy-polluting industries, indicating that FinTech has a greater effect in encouraging accurate disclosure of environmental information in environmentally sensitive sectors. Conversely, its impact is weaker in high-tech industries, which might already have strong environmental commitments. The findings contribute to the literature on sustainability, FinTech and governance.</p>","PeriodicalId":48342,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Management","volume":"36 3","pages":"978-1002"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1467-8551.12879","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144520049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been concluded that in national contexts where inter-firm ties are stronger, progress has been stronger. In turn, this raises questions about the impact of inter-firm ties within, rather than between, national contexts, and in settings where progress towards renewables has been uneven and contested. Accordingly, we explore how common institutional ownership may foster collaboration among firms within the same industry against climate change. Using a sample of US-listed firms from 2006 to 2019, we obtain robust evidence that firms with industrial peers that are owned by the same institutional investors have lower carbon emissions. In addition, we find that a threshold exists for which the impact on carbon emissions holds only when firms are commonly connected with a substantial number of peers. The existence of this threshold suggests potential free-riding issues and highlights the beneficial role of investors in promoting cross-industry collaboration. Overall, our results highlight the role played by institutional investors in tackling climate issues, with important implications for both climate- and antitrust-related regulations.</p>","PeriodicalId":48342,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Management","volume":"36 2","pages":"910-929"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1467-8551.12878","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143762134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These disparate findings led us to shift the conversation to exploring the strategic conditions that may enhance the value of the practice. We do so by drawing on the strategic fit perspective, an underexplored perspective in supplier involvement research. We argue that the value of supplier involvement is shaped by the task priority associated with a firm's strategic orientation. Accounting for the multidimensional nature of strategic fit, we further investigate whether strategic fit is likely to be impacted by a firm's level of market competition. Using a longitudinal survey of automotive manufacturers in Brazil, we demonstrate that supplier involvement fits well with a low-cost strategy as opposed to a differentiation strategy. However, the degree of fit varies across levels of market competition. The study's overarching contribution is that it develops a theory of how strategic factors interact to impact the financial performance implications of supplier involvement, stressing the significance of strategic fit as the underlying mechanism.</p>","PeriodicalId":48342,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Management","volume":"36 2","pages":"850-866"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143762038","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}

To determine which factors encourage customers to participate in sharing goods and services on sharing platforms, and when they do so, this study conducts a meta-analysis of empirical findings from 192 independent samples, extracted from 167 studies involving 171,344 customers. As the results clarify, customer-related factors (customer motives, customer competence, customer satisfaction and subjective norms) are key antecedents. However, platform-related factors (service quality of the platform, trust in the platform, performance expectancy and effort expectancy) and service-provider-related factors (service quality of the provider, trust in the provider and provider gender) also exert meaningful effects. To assess the generalizability of these antecedents, the meta-analysis includes contextual moderators, namely customer type (previous provider experience), provider type (private/professional supply), platform characteristics (rivalry on the platform, prestige of ownership and services/goods) and exchange type (for-profit/non-profit and ownership transfer).
