Dear all,
I trust that you are enjoying your great weekend (The weather is unfortunately awful though ...).
I would like to truly express my deep appreciation to Anika, Beatrice, & Ludovico (alphabetical order) for creating the following insightful questions:
Kawai et al. (2018)
“After understanding how Japanese MNC subsidiaries are positively influenced by both global stakeholder pressures & market stakeholder pressures in adopting EMS to expand the barriers for green innovation, what could be the role of emerging markets in shaping global green innovations, given that their regulatory frameworks are weaker?” (LUDOVICO)
Tatoglu et al. (2014)
“(1)What implications could there be for an MNE subsidiary for not adopting VEMPS? & (2)What is the relevance of stakeholders in the adaptation level of VEMPs by MNEs subsidiaries?”(BEATRICE)
“In emerging markets with weak environmental regulation, how can MNEs that voluntarily adopt costly environmental practices remain competitive against rivals who don’t?” (ANIKA)
All of you are strongly encouraged to reflect on each question as indicated above & be ready to share your thoughts. Moreover, please search relevant information to further validate the quality of your own thoughts if necessary.
I will add extra class participation points to the aforementioned students as well as to the students who will participate proactively in tomorrow’s class discussions.
I am truly looking forward to seeing you tomorrow morning. Buonaserata.
Kind wishes,
Norifumi Kawai
