Policymakers and capital markets face the challenge of generating returns, driving economic growth, and ensuring sustainability. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates existing technologies can achieve 80% of the emissions reductions needed by 2030, but mobilizing capital to finance them at scale is crucial. This article explores how U.S. and European public and private capital markets are innovating to fund investments to drive the transition to net-zero and demonstrates the importance of policies and public-private partnerships to stimulate the necessary investments.","PeriodicalId":9605,"journal":{"name":"California Management Review","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143417269","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}

This article assesses how Amazon, known for its speed and innovation, has leveraged internal processes to transition toward “Net Zero Carbon” by 2040. It argues that industrial decarbonization has primarily involved “sustaining innovations” and then examines how Amazon’s internal mechanisms have been applied to sustainability—including efficiency improvements, lower-carbon substitutions, longer-term innovation investments, and engagements with their supply chains. Amazon’s experiences are relevant to corporations working to advance decarbonization. It concludes by offering lessons for managers about how to leverage innovation processes to advance climate goals.","PeriodicalId":9605,"journal":{"name":"California Management Review","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143401203","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}

While such organizing forms emphasize bottom-up employee involvement, they also require commitment from top-level executives. However, knowledge about how companies can move from piloting to scaling agile and top-level executives’ role in managing this transition is currently limited. This article’s analysis of six leading organizations unveils the tensions that top executives need to anticipate and address in each phase of the implementation process to support and progress bottom-up organizing. It also suggests selective interventions that top executives can make to keep the agile implementation process on track.","PeriodicalId":9605,"journal":{"name":"California Management Review","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143055547","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}

They usually realize that digital platform firms differ from them in their strategies and capabilities, and that significant opportunities arise from innovating digital platforms being able to collect, analyze, and leverage behavioral customer data related to the consumption experience. However, collaborating with digital platforms is likely to put competitive pressure on the incumbent’s margins, and, in extremis, encourage entry by the platform into the incumbent’s business. These threats can be moderated by limiting access to the incumbent’s technology and supply chain, or by building an in-house digital platform.","PeriodicalId":9605,"journal":{"name":"California Management Review","volume":"98 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143030917","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}

This analysis addresses the management issues of how Tesla and Porsche manage value capture and value distribution in the e-mobility industry through their contrasting approaches and strategic shifts between OI and VI. It develops a novel theoretical model juxtaposing the OI mode from open to closed with the value chain position from horizontal to vertical. Analyzing Tesla and Porsche’s strategic moves offers a paradigm shift for OI practitioners. Our model can enable enhanced value capture through greater openness and more inclusive value distribution through proactive inside-out strategies in core technology areas. Instead of positioning VI and OI as static polar extremes, a novel combination of VI and OI can realize untapped potential.","PeriodicalId":9605,"journal":{"name":"California Management Review","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142415585","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}
