Findings show U.S.-based textile suppliers may perceive that communicating about sustainability is less relevant to competitive positioning. Conversely, textile firms with international operations demonstrated higher levels of sustainability communications proactivity. Overall results provide relationships to examine in future research. 2015-04-29 English text Ohio University Honors Tutorial College / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ouhonors1429868947 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ouhonors1429868947 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
