Corporate reputation and brand value have chain-mediating effects in the influence mechanism of CSR on enterprise performance. Theoretically, this paper broadens the scope of study on CSR and enterprise performance, deeply explores the internal mechanism between them, and opens the “black box” in the process of transforming CSR into enterprise performance. Practically, it can encourage Chinese enterprises to actively undertake CSR, strengthen reputation management, enhance brand value, and finally promote the sustainable development of enterprises. A-share listed companies (listed companies in the Chinese A stock market) in Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges from 2008 to 2020 in “China’s 500 Most Valuable Brands List” by World Brand Lab are studied in this paper. The results of the empirical study based on relevant data show a significant positive relationship between CSR and enterprise performance. It investigates the mediating chain effects of corporate reputation and brand value in the influence of CSR on enterprise performance. Listed companies must disclose the annual CSR report. CSR reports as an effective supplement to corporate financial information, which provides an important communication channel for the enterprise and stakeholders. Stakeholders can timely understand their rights and interests through the CSR information and have a more comprehensive and deeper understanding of enterprises.

    The Impact of Green Supply Chain on Enterprise Performance: In the Perspective of China

    This study explores the impact of green supply chain (GSC) practices on the enterprise performance in the context of Chinese manufacturing enterprises. A sample of 415 companies’ data was collected from the Chinese manufacturing industry. There are five predictors, including green distribution, green purchasing, green manufacturing, green information system, and eco-design, that were measured for the GSC practices. The GSC practices were measured by five predictors, including green distribution, green purchasing, green manufacturing, green information system, and eco-design. By using exploratory analysis and linear multiple regression analysis, the findings show that except for green distribution, rest of the independent variables have been found to be positively significant to predict enterprise performance. However, the green purchasing has revealed the greatest impact on enterprise performance. Therefore, senior management of the enterprises should implement green practices in their supply chain to increase the overall performance. In future, researchers can conduct comparative studies between manufacturing industry and other industries. In addition, they may bring in some other independent variables, including green logistics, co-operation with customers, and green transportation system. In this research, we estimate the economic and environmental performances together as enterprise performance. But in future, researchers may also calculate the economic and environmental performances separately.

    HOW DOES DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AFFECT ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICE ENTERPRISES’ PERFORMANCE? THE MAIN SOURCES AND INTERNAL MECHANISMS

    Digital transformation is a core weapon to promote the sustainable development of environmental service enterprises. This research presents a pioneering analysis of the primary sources and internal mechanisms underlying the performance impact of digital transformation in Chinese listed environmental service companies from 2009 to 2019. The empirical results show that digital transformation can significantly improve firm performance. Furthermore, digital products, digital operations and digital talent were found to have the most significant effect, while digital services and digital marketing have a weaker effect. The mediating effect demonstrates that digital transformation can indirectly promote the performance of environmental service enterprises by improving the green technology innovation, and this influence tends to strengthen. In addition, this performance effect is affected by different enterprise types, with the effect being more pronounced in state-owned enterprises than in private enterprises. These findings have important guiding significance for the intelligent development of environmental service industry.

    Financial Ecosystem, Core Competency Construction, and the Growth of Enterprises

    Based on the unbalanced panel data of 35 medium and large-sized cities from 2015 to 2020, this paper empirically examines the relationship among the financial ecology environment, core competence construction, and the growth of enterprises, focusing on the impact of the improvement of the financial ecology environment on the resource allocation for enterprise development. It is found that a favorable financial ecology environment can induce enterprises to invest more resources in the construction of core competencies. And the construction of core competencies is a continuous process, which shows a lagging effect on the growth of enterprises. Therefore, formal institutional reforms in the political, economic, and social fields lead to the coordinated development and improvement of various aspects, such as the quality of government and social development environments, the active promotion of which can reduce the uncertainty of development and reduce transaction costs. So companies can focus on building core competencies to a larger extent.

    R&D Investment, Equity Balance, and Corporate Performance — Regression Analysis of Data of Game Industry Listed Companies Using SPSS Software

    For a long time, there has been a certain relationship between equity balance and performance. We selected various data of listed companies in China’s game industry from 2017 to 2021, analyzed various data using computer software, conducted a multiple regression model using SPSS software, discussed and tested the impact of R&D investment on the performance of game companies, and discussed its moderating effect on the relationship between these two variables from the perspective of equity balance. The research shows that R&D investment has a significant positive correlation with the current performance of enterprises. Further analysis of the lag effect of R&D investment shows that R&D investment has a significant positive lag effect on enterprise performance, and there is a negative adjustment between equity balance and investment affecting enterprise performance.
