Sustainable environmental manufacturing practice (SEMP) and firm performance: Moderating role of environmental regulation

Theoretical evidence shows that a considerable amount of attention has been given to environmental issues in academic researches in the past years and the link between sustainable environmental practices and firm performance remains inconclusive.One of the reasons for this inconsistent relationship...
