With only a few exceptions, these studies have mainly centered around global  corporations from industrialized nations using voluntarily disclosed data through  international initiatives. Despite the vast literature on firms' behavior towards climate  change, study on how firms in developing nations react to this critical issue is lacking. This  research objective is to identify emergent climate change strategies and its response patterns  implemented by businesses in developing nations toward their carbon reductions.  In light of existing firm response classifications, a framework for assessing carbon  reduction activities for a developing economy was established. Utilizing this instrument, a  study involving the responsible parties on climate change or environment was performed.  Information gathered from 185 FDI and local companies in Vietnam was analyzed using an  exploratory factor analysis (EF A) technique to classify carbon strategic options of firms.  Cluster analysis was then carried out based on factor scores, the results of factor analysis, to  identify patterns in firm responses.  The EF A identified four distinct carbon reduction strategies compared to eight  strategies with the original framework, each of which may be measured in five profile  categories: pro-active, active, emerging, beginner and indifferent. Even though many  businesses fell into the last two profiles (i.e., beginner and indifferent), those were aware of  climate change issues had adopted several strategies, such as admission transferring and  trading, process improvement, information and self-regulation, and product development  towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Multinational firms adopt several carbon  reduction activities with higher mean values than those of local companies. Most of the  active and pro-active firms are large firms from United States, Europe and Japan.   0aClimatic changesxDeveloped countries 0aClimatic changesxEconomic aspectszVietnam 0aClimatic changesxEnvironmental aspectszVietnam1 aDo, Ba Khang,eCo-Chairperson1 aBadir, Yuosre,eCo-Chairperson1 aIslam, Nazrul,eExamination Committee0 aVilas Nitivattanon,eExamination Committee2 aHoa Sen University, Vietnam,eScholarship Donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology Fellowship,eScholarship Donor2 aAsian Institute of Technology.tDissertation ;vno.
