| Abstract: | How successful are multinational corporations in extending their company-based environmental standards to their subsidiaries and those subsidiaries' local suppliers in their global production networks in developing countries? The question is addressed through an in-depth case study of how Motorola, a prominent multinational electronics company with an extensive global production network, is using a set of company-based standards to meet several new stringent European Union environmental directives. The case study demonstrates that these company-based standards appear to be enabling a major subsidiary and its suppliers in one developing economy to reduce the environmental intensities of their production activities. |
