Hani is presenting the research titled as “Environmental innovations and economic performance of innovative firms: The role of ecosystem’s public funds and firm’s integration mechanisms”.

This study investigates the relationship between environmental innovations (EIs) and the economic performance of innovative firms. It also addresses the moderating role of government financial support as an external ecosystem factor and social integration mechanisms (SIMs) as a firm capability of this relationship. Firms increasingly adopt EIs to boost competitiveness and achieve sustainability. However, previous literature shows mixed results on how EIs impact firm performance and what conditions and mechanisms hold this relationship positive. The study distinguishes between two types of environmental innovations—cleaner integrated technologies and end-of-pipe technologies— examining their respective impacts on firm’s total factor productivity (TFP) (as a technical efficiency indicator) and net sales (as a financial performance indicator). Using data from 6,843 Swedish firms from the 2018 and 2020 waves of the Community Innovation Survey, we apply hierarchical regression analysis and conduct additional robustness checks, such as the Heckman two-step model, to explore these dynamics. The findings indicate that cleaner integrated  technologies have a more substantial positive effect on firm performance compared to end-of-pipe technologies. Public financial support plays a crucial role in strengthening EIs’ effect on firm performance. However, such funds also exhibit insignificant or even strongly negative direct effects on firm performance in some cases (e.g., TFP for the former and net sales for the latter). Conversely, SIMs, despite showing a direct positive influence on performance, do not significantly moderate the relationship between EIs and economic outcomes. The study concludes that investments in cleaner technologies, combined with well-aligned external knowledge integration, are key for firms aiming to leverage environmental innovations for competitive advantage. These results have implications for both policy and business strategies concerning the deployment of public funds and the fostering of firm’s internal capabilities for managing environmental innovation.

The seminar will run in a hybrid format, you can join in room B6046 or on Zoom

Mindfulness is about consciously and deliberately directing our attention, in the moment and without judging what we are experiencing.

The aim of this course is to learn to live in the here and now, focus more on what is going on in the moment and not dwell on what happened in the past or worry about the future. When practicing mindfulness, you will increase your attention span and your ability to concentrate on what is important to you. It will also help you cope with stress in a more helpful way. When participating in this course you will practice formal and informal mindfulness exercises both in class and between classes. You will develop new skills and cherish the tools you learn from this course your whole life.

Course runs for three Tuesday afternoons: 1 October, 8 October and 22 October 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm.

Comments from former participants: 

"It is an amazing course! You learn so many great techniques to help you deal with stress and better manage life." “Fun and intense. Challenging as well as motivating.”

Dr Vejune Zemaityte is a Senior Research Fellow in Film Data Analytics at the Baltic Film, Media and Arts School (BFM), Tallinn University, Estonia. Vejune uses data analysis and visualisation techniques, including network analysis, to study global screen industries. She researches film production, theatrical film distribution, film festival circuit, public service television, and historical newsreels.

Participation in international film festivals is crucial for films, particularly for independent productions in smaller markets, as they facilitate critical recognition, audience engagement, and distribution opportunities. Our research utilizes the Cinando database, managed by Marché du Film - Festival de Cannes, to conduct data-driven analyses of the festival circuit, modeling festivals as a global network and examining the diversity and public value of festival programming. This investigation helps understand why certain films succeed internationally and includes a discussion on the challenges and insights gained from working with "found" data not originally intended for research purposes. This talk will discuss some of the quantitative approaches we applied to the film festival database, highlighting not only our results but also the process of working with so-called “found” data created for reasons other than research.
