We conducted a quantitative evaluation of the management of industrial accidents for 31 provinces in mainland China through the data envelopment analysis (DEA) method. It was found that there is a significant difference among the provincial accidents-management performances. The characteristics of the provinces with high performances in managing industrial accidents are: developed economy, convenient transportation, advanced technologies, and immediate access to medical care. Factor analysis revealed that the implementation of compulsory auto liability insurance and high population density are correlated with the high management performance of industrial accidents, while population movement and advanced technologies increase the vulnerability to industrial accidents. Further, the work-related injury insurance did not significantly promote management of accidents. Some implications are recommended for both government and business enterprises according to the results.

How verbal and non-verbal cues in a CEO apology for a corporate crisis affect a firm's social disapproval

Yi-Na Li, Yan Li, Haipeng (Allan) Chen, Jiuchang Wei

Summary: CEOs often apologize in public to minimize social disapproval after a corporate crisis. We study how certain nonverbal and verbal cues in a CEO public apology affect the social disapproval of a firm and the underlying mechanism of these effects. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of stakeholder expectations in the aftermath of a corporate crisis and affect firms' crisis response strategies and leadership responsibilities.

Pollution Stigma and Manufacturing Firms' Disengagement Effort: Interactive Effects of Pressures From External Stakeholders

Jia Xu, Jiuchang Wei, Haipeng (Allan) Chen

Summary: This study focuses on the National Specially Monitored firms of China and explores the impact of external stakeholder pressure on these firms' tendencies to disengage from pollution stigma. The research finds that there are diminishing returns to scale in the joint effect between different types of pressure, and that mimetic pressure from environmental protection exemplary firms can exacerbate when stigma responsibility dilution is low, while dilution of stigma responsibility weakens the positive effect of stigma intensity on firms' disengagement tendencies.
