PurposeAlthough interorganizational learning has attracted substantial attention, research about its effects on green innovation is still rare. Combining theories of organizational learning and absorptive capacity, this study explores the relationships among interorganizational learning, green knowledge integration capability (GKIC) and green innovation (GI), and analyzes the moderating role of green absorptive capacity (GAC). Based on resource-based and ambidexterity theories, this study focuses on vertical exploitative (VEL) and lateral explorative learning (LEL). This study expands the research of GI by proposing two different interorganizational learning mechanisms and uncovering the intricate relationship between them and GI.Design/methodology/approachBased on a sample of 203 Chinese manufacturing firms, the authors used a hierarchical regression analysis and bootstrap method to test the theoretical framework and research hypotheses of this paper.FindingsResults show that VEL and LEL have positive effects on GI. GKIC partially mediates the relationship between VEL and GI and completely mediates the relationship between LEL and GI. Moreover, GAC plays a moderating role between LEL and GKIC and moderates the effect of LEL on GI via GKIC, such that the effect is stronger when GAC increases. However, it does not moderate the relationship between VEL and GKIC.Originality/valueFirst, founded on resource-based and ambidexterity theories, this study considers two dimensions of interorganizational learning, VEL and LEL. Second, by testing the mediating role of GKIC, the authors provide a theoretical lens to understand the relationship between interorganizational learning and GI. Third, by examining boundary conditions of GAC, the authors enrich organizational learning and absorptive capacity theory in the context of green development.
Although external environmental pressure has been recognized as an important driver of green innovation, the literature ignores its effect on radical green innovation. Combining theories of organizational learning and transformational leadership, this study explores the relationships among external environmental pressure, exploratory green learning, and radical green innovation, and analyzes the moderating role of green transformational leadership. Considering the political and economic factors in social network, this study focuses on the pressures of environmental regulatory and green market. Data are collected from 282 manufacturing firms in China's strategic emerging industries, hierarchical regression analysis and boostrapping are used to test hypotheses. The results reveal that environmental regulatory pressure and green market pressure have positive effects on exploratory green learning, and exploratory green learning has positive effects on radical green innovation. Exploratory green learning plays a full mediating role in the relationship between environmental regulatory pressure and radical green innovation, and partially mediates the relationship between green market pressure and radical green innovation. Moreover, green transformational leadership has a nonlinear moderating effect on the relationship between exploratory green learning and radical green innovation. This study opens avenues for understanding the relationship between external environmental pressure and raidcal green innovation, which enriches the literature on green innovation and offers practical implications for government and firms.
Disruptive green innovation stands out in an important way to achieve corporate sustainable development. Although the general importance of innovation ecosystem has recently been emphasized, little research has considered the influence of innovation ecosystem coopetition on disruptive green innovation. Combining resource-based view and resource orchestration theory, this study sheds light on the relationships among innovation ecosystem cooperation and competition, environmental resource orchestration, and disruptive green innovation under the moderating role of big data analytics capability. Using data collected from 295 manufacturing enterprises in China, the results show that both innovation ecosystem cooperation and competition have positive effects on environmental resource orchestration,and that environmental resource orchestration has a positive effect on disruptive green innovation.Furthermore, environmental resource orchestration is found to partially mediate the relationship between innovation ecosystem cooperation and disruptive green innovation, and to fully mediate the relationship between innovation ecosystem competition and disruptive green innovation. Moreover, we find that big data analytics capability has a moderating effect on the relationship between innovation ecosystem cooperation and environmental resource orchestration, whereas it does not moderate the relationship between innovation ecosystem competition and environmental resource orchestration. This study opens avenues for understanding the relationship between innovation ecosystem coopetition and disruptive green innovation, which enriches literature on both innovation ecosystem and green innovation. Likewise, this study has important implications for practitioners who attempt to promote market disruption and sustainable development with the help of ecosystems.
Radical green innovation is the necessary way for countries and firms to achieve sustainable development. Although the influencing factors of green innovation have attracted extensive attention, there is little research on the antecedents of radical green innovation. Drawing on organizational learning theory and attention‐based view, this study proposes R‐I ratio to measure the configuration of exploratory green learning and exploitative green learning, then analyzes the relationships among green transformational leadership, R‐I ratio and radical green innovation, and examines the moderating effects of green R&D investment and environmental regulatory pressure. Based on a sample of 243 manufacturing firms in China's strategic emerging industries, the empirical results reveal that green transformational leadership promotes R‐I ratio, and R‐I ratio has inverted U‐shaped relationship with radical green innovation. The results also find that green R&D investment plays U‐shaped moderating role in the relationship between green transformational leadership and R‐I ratio, and environmental regulatory pressure positively moderates the relationship between green transformational leadership and R‐I ratio. The study not only reveals the relationships of green transformational leadership, organizational green learning and radical green innovation, but also provides theoretical guidance and management practice for manufacturing firms and government to promote radical green innovation.
Performance evaluation of expatriate technicians is an important way for multinational corporations to effectively manage their expatriate technicians, which is crucial to the technological innovation of multinational corporations. This paper designs the performance evaluation index system of expatriate technicians, which includes work efficiency, professional competence, work attitude, and personal traits. Then, based on the C-POWA operator, the evaluation method of expatriate technicians is put forward. Lastly, using the index and method of evaluation of expatriate technician, four expatriate technicians’ performance are evaluated, and the results reveal that the index and method we put forward are scientific and practical.
