Abstract
In recent years, environmental problems caused by greenhouse gas emissions have attracted more and more attention. Under increasing cost pressure, energy enterprises have become one of the targets to control carbon emissions. Taking China Guodian Corporation as an example, it is of great significance to study the agility development of China’s energy enterprises under the carbon emission trading system.This paper uses content coding analysis method to explore the influencing factors of agility of energy-based enterprises in China and the specific degree of influence. Through research, it is found that corporate culture, leadership awareness and internal competition have a positive effect on the agility of energy-based enterprises. This study develops the relevant theories of energy-based enterprises from the perspective of agility and finds a key breakthrough for energy-based enterprises to cope with the pressure of carbon emission reduction and optimize their operations.
Highlights
Since 2005, European and American countries have launched carbon trading markets one after another
It is very necessary and urgent to use the methods and theories introduced in this chapter to carry out research on agility development of energy-based enterprises under the background of carbon emission trading in China[2]
Follow-up research as business leaders and human resources professionals realize the importance of agility, they propose the concept of strategic agility and begin to explore the in-depth relationship between strategic agility and human resources management[7], entrepreneurial teams[8] and corporate performance[9]
Summary
Since 2005, European and American countries have launched carbon trading markets one after another. Foreign related research started earlier, which can provide inspiration and reference for studying China's carbon emission trading quota allocation and agility of energy-based enterprises. In 2017, China proposed to launch a national carbon emissions trading system[1]. It is very necessary and urgent to use the methods and theories introduced in this chapter to carry out research on agility development of energy-based enterprises under the background of carbon emission trading in China[2]. In the domestic research literature, a concept highly related to enterprise agility is response. Combined with the research purpose of this study and the previous domestic and foreign literature, this paper defines the agility of energy-based enterprises as the measures taken by enterprises to adapt to their survival and development under the influence of one or more influencing factors
