Business Cycles: A Theoretical, Historical, and Statistical Analysis of the Capitalist Process.

Historically, management theory has ignored the constraints imposed by the biophysical (natural) environment. Building upon resource-based theory, this article attempts to fill this void by proposing a natural-resource-based view of the firm—a theory of competitive advantage based upon the firm's relationship to the natural environment. It is composed of three interconnected strategies: pollution prevention, product stewardship, and sustainable development. Propositions are advanced for each of these strategies regarding key resource requirements and their contributions to sustained competitive advantage.

A natural resource-based view of the firm

The purpose of this paper is to reveal the relationships among green organizational culture, green innovation and competitive advantage. These relationships were assessed using structural equation modeling. Data were gathered from full-time hotel employees (N: 293) and managers (N: 192) in the Antalya region of Turkey. The results indicate that green organizational culture has a positive effect on green innovation and competitive advantage. Accordingly, green organizational culture is an important determinant for green innovation and competitive advantage. In addition, green innovation acted as a full mediator of the effects of green organizational culture on competitive advantage. Specifically, green organizational culture predicted green innovation, which in turn predicted competitive advantage. Finally, considering that causal studies on green innovation in the hotel industry are limited, this study may contribute to understanding how green innovation affects competitive advantage in the hotel ...

Reinforcing competitive advantage through green organizational culture and green innovation

This paper aims to investigate whether corporate image has a mediating effect on the influence of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on customer loyalty in independent hotels.,Data were collected from customers of five-star hotels located in Istanbul in Turkey. The theoretical model was tested with 404 usable data. The results were analyzed by using structural equation modeling (SEM).,Findings show that CSR creates customer loyalty partially through corporate image in the independent hotels. In addition, it was found that the hotels included in the study carried out moderate level of CSR activities.,The research model was tested in independent five-star hotels. Further studies could be carried out using different independent hospitality companies. In addition, the research was conducted on a limited sample, as hotel managers were not willing to allow direct contact with customers. Further studies could be carried out on larger samples.,This study recommends that independent hotels carry out more CSR activities on social and environmental issues. In addition, direct effect of CSR on customer loyalty is lower than its indirect effect via corporate image. Therefore, if companies desire to create customer loyalty through CSR, they should introduce their CSR activities to customers via communication tools (website, media etc.),This study examines CSR in terms of sustainable development in the independent hotels. Furthermore, it explains relationships between CSR and corporate image and customer loyalty through the principle of generalized reciprocity specified in the theory of social change.

This study aims to investigate the effects of organizational structures and learning organization on job embeddedness and individual adaptive performance. In literature, studies suggest that learning organization and organizational structures bring about some desirable outputs for both individuals and organizations. Accordingly, within the scope of the study, job embeddedness and individual adaptive performance are considered as important consequences which have been thought to be affected by the organizational conditions. In this context, the data which were collected from 216 employees of hotel establishments by the survey method were analyzed using the structural equation modelling technique. The results of the study indicate that organic organization structure has been found to have no direct effect on job embeddedness and individual adaptive performance. In addition to this, mechanistic organization structure affects job embeddedness positively, while it has no direct effect on individual adaptive performance. However, learning organization affects both job embeddedness and individual adaptive performance positively and learning organization has a fully mediator role in the relationships between organic organization structure and job embeddedness. It also has a fully mediator role in the relationships between organic organization structure and individual adaptive performance. Moreover, learning organization has a fully mediator role between mechanistic organization structure and individual adaptive performance.
