Abstract
We investigate if internationalization behaviors encourage sustainable operations of China’s manufacturing firms due to their substantial impact on climate change and special governance modes, and organize a heterogeneity test to clarify what kind of internationalization behaviors can robustly influence such operations. We find that firms with abundant assets and heavy-polluting feature are more committed to sustainable operations. Getting close to international sustainability standards, international auditing standards, and international business all improve sustainable operations. Heterogeneity test further shows that compared with international standards, the positive impact of international business on sustainable operation lacks a robustness, which responds to an argument that for one country, international business acts as a double-edged sword. Overall, this paper reveals internationalization as a key indicator significantly influencing economic, ecological, and social spheres in manufacturing sectors of emerging markets, and complying with well-accepted international standards can be significantly embodied in a more optimistic sustainable operations. However, how to deal with international business in a right manner is a research highlight worthy of ongoing discussion. We focus on different types of internationalization behaviors, and this indicator can theoretically inspire future study to dialectically evaluate the role of internationalization in addressing sustainability problems in emerging markets’ pillar industries.
Highlights
Laboratory equipment management is an integral part of the daily work of the laboratory
The number of innovative experimental projects approved in the past two years has increased significantly compared with previous years (Fig 1)
The number of project groups that the laboratory can accept at the same time has increased from 15 groups to about 40 groups
Summary
Laboratory equipment management is an integral part of the daily work of the laboratory. It is inseparable from universities' scientific research and teaching work and is essential for scientific research and smooth progress [1]. In 2012, the Ministry of Education of China launched an innovation and entrepreneurship training program for college students nationwide to strengthen college students' innovative thinking and scientific research capabilities. With this plan's implementation, most domestic colleges and universities have successively established innovation laboratories aimed at undergraduates' innovation and entrepreneurship training [3]. Compared with other professional laboratories, the management of innovative laboratory instruments and equipment has many difficulties and problems, and it puts forward higher requirements for equipment management works
