This book asks why firms sometimes voluntarily adopt environmental policies which go beyond legal requirements. It employs a new-institutionalist perspective, and argues that existing explanations, especially from neoclassical economics, concentrate on external factors at the expense of internal dynamics. Prakash argues that 'beyond-compliance' policies are due to two types of intra-firm processes, which he describes as power- and leadership-based. His argument is supported by analysis of ten cases within two firms - Baxter International Inc. and Eli Lilly and Company - including interviews with managers, and access to meetings and documents. This book therefore examines the internal working of firms' environmental policy in a theoretically rigorous way, providing a significant contribution to the theory of the firm. It will be valuable for students of business and environmental studies, as well as political economy and public policy.Environmental policyCase studiesIndustrial managementEnvironmental aspectsCase studiesInternational business enterprisesEnvironmental aspectsCase studiesEnvironmental policyIndustrial managementEnvironmental aspectsInternational business enterprisesEnvironmental aspects658.4/08Prakash Aseem510442UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910455347203321Greening the firm2480741UNINA03381nam 22005895 450 991067435460332120250418144233.09783031191084(electronic bk.)978303119107710.1007/978-3-031-19108-4(PPN)284409561(MiAaPQ)EBC7207065(Au-PeEL)EBL7207065(CKB)26183516100041(DE-He213)978-3-031-19108-4(OCoLC)1371752286(BIP)085653910(EXLCZ)992618351610004120230221d2023 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Chemical and Biological Nonproliferation Regime after the Covid-19 Pandemic Dealing with the Scientific Revolution in the Life Sciences /by Malcolm Dando1st ed. 2023.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2023.1 online resource (134 pages)Print version: Dando, Malcolm The Chemical and Biological Nonproliferation Regime after the Covid-19 Pandemic Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2023 9783031191077 Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Novel Neuroweapons -- Chapter 3: Neuroscience Developments of Concern -- Chapter 4: The Chemical Weapons Convention -- Chapter 5: The Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention -- Chapter 6: Conclusion.This book offers an analysis of how the Chemical and Biological Weapons (CBW) regime has responded in the immediate aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic. Coronavirus has highlighted the need to better protect modern societies from natural, accidental and deliberate disease affecting humans, animals and plants. Within that context preventing the deliberate hostile use of biological and chemical agents will be of increasing importance. Dando asks to what extent there has been a significant strengthening to the CBW non-proliferation regime in the immediate aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic using an analysis focused on two proposals to strengthen the Chemical Weapons Convention and the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention which aim to constrain advances in science and technology developments that could be misused. On this basis he concludes that it would be hard to argue that to date there has been a significant strengthening of the CBW regime.
