And why have certain firms gone further than others in greening their activities? Previous work has largely approached these questions within a static and reductionist framework.

Yet we find their explanation of trends and patterns of corporate greening in developing countries und globalizing corporate environmentalismerspecified. Two issues, in particular, have been inadequately addressed. First, previous studies have had surprising little to say about the originsglobalizing corporate environmentalism

Second, past research has paid insufficient attention to the role of external pressures, and their relationship to internal constraints, in4explaining uneven patterns of corporate environmentalism (e.g., see Dasgupta 2000). In doing so, it has ignored a globalizing corporate environmentalism body of literature elsewhere suggesting that corporate behavior is often shaped by both internal and external opportunities, incentives and constrainglobalizing corporate environmentalism

Convergence and heterogeneity in Indian industry*PLEASE DO NOT CITE WITHOUT AUTHOR'S PERMISSION.1Richard Perki globalizing corporate environmentalismly, we locate the growth of corporate environmentalism in terms of developing countries’ growing enmeshment in political, economic and social processes at the international level, which have exposed domestic actors to a range of economic and sociological pressures fostering cross-national convergenc globalizing corporate environmentalisme in environmentally sound technologies, operating practices and performances.

Over the past two decades or so, firms in these sectors have invested in more environmentally sound technologies and organizational practices, leading to im globalizing corporate environmentalismprovements in environmental performance. Yet, as witnessed in many other developing countries, the degree of greening has varied amongst firms, both wglobalizing corporate environmentalism
