Buyers and suppliers tend to collaborate to a greater extent when the complexity and importance of the procurement object are high. The findings propose that the complexity and importance of the product procured are crucial to the form of project organisation between the parties. Data from 209 research-intensive firms in German-speaking countries were used to test the research hypotheses using structural equation modelling. Moreover, the moderating impact of the geographical sourcing location on the causal relationships in the model is assessed.

A research model is suggested to analyse the relationship between procurement product characteristics, buyer-supplier project organisation and NPD results. The impact of global sourcing in new product development processesДЄbstract: This study investigates which product characteristics and sourcing location conditions (global or local) support efficient supplier integration in New Product Development (NPD) processes.

Keywords: green performance female board representation board education financial slack R&D intensity international differences. These original findings help firms to maximise their green performance by resource adjustments, and help public policy makers spread knowledge to develop their economy sustainably. Regarding financial resources, financial slack and R&D intensity exert non-linear effects on green performance. Moreover, the directors' education level positively influences green performance in Asian countries, but not in Western countries. Regarding non-financial resources, this study finds a U-shaped effect of female board-of-directors representation on green performance, which is moderated by the directors' education level.

These hypotheses are tested with hierarchical linear modelling of international, multi-source objective data. Drawing on the resource-based view, this study develops novel hypotheses about the effects of a firm's non-financial and financial resources on its green performance. Badir, BjГ¶rn FrankДЄbstract: While firms face pressure to improve their green (i.e., environmental) performance, little is known about how adapting their resources can help them to more successfully implement green practices and improve their green performance.
