What’s the one thing your hospitality biz can do to get your online ratings higher? Take the time to respond to reviews, new study finds

Western Hotelier, September 26, 2017

Polluting Chinese manufacturers: Do their misdeeds drag down the shares of their customer companies overseas?

Polluting Chinese manufacturers: Do their misdeeds drag down the shares of their customer companies overseas?

Lo, UCLA Anderson’s Christopher S. Tang and Hong Kong Polytechnic’s Yi Zhou, Andy C. L. Yeung and Di Fan finds that Chinese manufacturers that violated environmental regulations drag down the share prices of their overseas customers even more than their own market values.
