Professor Jay Hyuk Rhee's research lab specializes in sustainable business practices, with a strong focus on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing, biodiversity conservation, and the financial implications of corporate sustainability. The lab explores the intersection of ESG factors and corporate performance, particularly through bibliometric analysis and empirical studies on sustainability disclosure, regulatory frameworks, and nature-positive strategies. Research also examines the role of institutional and private investors in advancing sustainable development, as well as the strategic internationalization of firms under uncertainty. The lab emphasizes evidence-based policy and managerial insights to support global sustainability goals.

This study tests the proposition that foreign market uncertainty leads firms to internationalize incrementally. The results show that the nature of this relationship differs between operational uncertainty and cultural uncertainty. Industry and host-country factors were found to moderate the relationship between operational uncertainty and incremental expansion. No such effect was found for the relationship involving cultural uncertainty. These findings reinforce the need to re-examine and refin
Corporation operations and other anthropogenic activities threaten global biodiversity and ecosystem services. They also raise financial risks for the sustainability of society.
