While, Performance" mainly pertains to the economic outcomes, productivity, and resilience of the construction sector and its impact on the broader economy. The studies assess the performance of the construction sector in terms of growth, employment generation, contribution to GDP, and responses to economic shocks. Performance is evaluated by analyzing data on housing market trends, housing starts and completions, public works tenders, employment rates, and the overall economic growth. The study also examine how the construction sector's performance has been influenced by external factors such as the global financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic.<br />The second study has a much greater scope. Shock in the second study refers to productivity shocks occurring within Spain's manufacturing sectors. It answers several questions. Firstly, if the productivity shocks existed in Spanish firms due to FDI? Second, If the productivity shocks spillovers transmitted towards other firms in the same industry and other firms in the same region? Third about the transmission mechanism / channels of these spillovers i.e., imitation / workers mobility. The concept of "performance" is central here that explore productivity shocks, spillover effects, and their impact on firms and industries. Here, "performance" refers to the efficiency, effectiveness, and competitiveness of firms with in 20 manufacturing sectors and 17 regions of Spain for almost two decades. The study analyze productivity shocks and their propagation to neighboring firms, evaluating how certain factors like foreign direct investments (FDI) and good management practices influence firm performance and spillover effects.<br />Shock in the third study refers to firms experiencing shocks in its Environmental and organizational performance due to public participation, government regulations, and organizational EMS. This study is carried out for textile industry of Pakistan. Performance is used to describe the effectiveness and outcomes of environmental policies, regulations, and management practices. Performance is crucial for understanding how different sectors, industries, and policies are functioning and used to measure the effectiveness of actions taken, the outcomes achieved, and the overall impact on economic, social, and environmental aspects.<br /> 000133320 520__ $$a<br /> 000133320 521__ $$97091$$aPrograma de Doctorado en Economía y Gestión de las Organizaciones 000133320 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess 000133320 6531_ $$aestudios industriales 000133320 691__ $$a0 000133320 692__ $$a 000133320 700__ $$aRosell Martínez, Jorge $$edir. 000133320 7102_ $$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$b 000133320 830__ $$9503 000133320 8560_ $$fcdeurop@unizar.es 000133320 8564_ $$uhttps://zaguan.unizar.es/record/133320/files/TESIS-2024-096.pdf$$zTexto completo (eng) 000133320 909CO $$ooai:zaguan.unizar.es:133320$$pdriver 000133320 909co $$ptesis 000133320 9102_ $$aCiencias Sociales y jurídicas$$b 000133320 980__ $$aTESIS
