TL;DR: In this paper , the growth of quasi-one-dimensional (1D) MoS 2 nanoribbons and 3D triangular crystals formed by the reaction between ultra-thin films of MoO 3 grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition was demonstrated.
Abstract: MoS 2 nanoribbons have attracted increased interest due to their properties which can be tailored by tuning their dimensions. Herein, we demonstrate the growth of quasi-one-dimensional (1D) MoS 2 nanoribbons and 3D triangular crystals formed by the reaction between ultra-thin films of MoO 3 grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition and

TL;DR: This model explains how top management mediates the impact of external institutional pressures on the degree of usage of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and finds that normative pressures directly affect ERP usage.
Abstract: We develop and test a theoretical model to investigate the assimilation of enterprise systems in the post-implementation stage within organizations. Specifically, this model explains how top management mediates the impact of external institutional pressures on the degree of usage of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. The hypotheses were tested using survey data from companies that have already implemented ERP systems. Results from partial least squares analyses suggest that mimetic pressures positively affect top management beliefs, which then positively affects top management participation in the ERP assimilation process. In turn, top management participation is confirmed to positively affect the degree of ERP usage. Results also suggest that coercive pressures positively affect top management participation without the mediation of top management beliefs. Surprisingly, we do not find support for our hypothesis that top management participation mediates the effect of normative pressures on ERP usage, but instead we find that normative pressures directly affect ERP usage. Our findings highlight the important role of top management in mediating the effect of institutional pressures on IT assimilation. We confirm that institutional pressures, which are known to be important for IT adoption and implementation, also contribute to post-implementation assimilation when the integration processes are prolonged and outcomes are dynamic and uncertain.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define the concept of circular economy from the perspective of WCED sustainable development and sustainability science, and conduct a critical analysis of the concept from a perspective of environmental sustainability, identifying six challenges, for example those of thermodynamics and system boundaries, that need to be resolved for CE to contribute to global net sustainability.

TL;DR: The authors synthesize the expanding corporate social responsibility (CSR) literature from an economic perspective and develop a CSR taxonomy that connects disparate approaches to the subject and explore whether CSR should exist and investigate conditions when CSR may produce higher welfare than other public good provision channels.
Abstract: *This paper synthesizes the expanding corporate social responsibility (CSR) literature. We define CSR from an economic perspective and develop a CSR taxonomy that connects disparate approaches to the subject. We explore whether CSR should exist and investigate conditions when CSR may produce higher welfare than other public good provision channels. We also explore why CSR does exist. Here, we integrate theoretical predictions with empirical findings from economic and noneconomic sources. We find limited systematic empirical evidence in favor of CSR mechanisms related to induced innovation, moral hazard, shareholder preferences, or labor markets. In contrast, we uncover consistent empirical evidence in favor of CSR mechanisms related to consumer markets, private politics, and public politics. (JEL D21, L21, M14)

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce a collective action model of institutional innovation, based on converging perspectives from the technology innovation management and social movements literature, views institutional change as a dialectical process in which partisan actors espousing conflicting views confront each other and engage in political behaviors to create and change institutions.
Abstract: We introduce a collective action model of institutional innovation. This model, based on converging perspectives from the technology innovation management and social movements literature, views institutional change as a dialectical process in which partisan actors espousing conflicting views confront each other and engage in political behaviors to create and change institutions. The model represents an important complement to existing models of institutional change. We discuss how these models together account for various stages and cycles of institutional change.
