“…The term eco-innovation is commonly associated with the development of new ecological products, the consumption of renewable or more sustainable sources and the reduction of waste through technological innovation based on or pursuing eco-efficiency [4], which was derived from the search for an increase in competitiveness through environmental improvement [5]. In fact, the increasing importance of environmental issues for companies can be driven through eco-innovation, generating competitive advantages [6] and, ultimately, economic and environmental efficiency [7].…”

Interest from academics, policy–makers and practitioners in eco-innovation has increased as it enables the optimization of the use of natural resources improving competitiveness and it provides a conceptual framework for corporate sustainability. In this context, this paper provides an in-depth analysis and a wide classification of the specific indicators for the integrated measurement of eco-innovation projects in business from a resource-based view (RBV). The specific metrics were tested to measure the economic-financial and environmental resources and capabilities applied by five Spanish firms to eco-innovation projects, selected as case studies.

“…It is suggested that regional policies should be analyzed to allow for the creation of indicators that are closer to reality. Some of these indicators were included in the instruments proposed for the measurement of eco-innovation [25,26,35,40,42,58].…”

“…When analyzing the factors that drive eco-innovation, one of the most important factors considered is environmental regulations [30][31][32][33]. In Europe, for example, it has been a determining factor for the development of industries that manage natural resources [34]; previously, they were considered an imposition for companies, but the thinking has changed and today they are considered favorable when innovating, since they help companies to identify efficiency failures in their processes and are used as a tool to reduce default and production costs, improving competitiveness [35,36]. The companies discovered that by investing financially in eco-innovation activities, their competitive advantage also increased [37,38], bringing benefits such as cost savings, improved corporate image, marketing advantages, sustainable growth in the environment, and creation of new markets [13,14].…”

“…Cheng and Shiu [40] applied the input-output approach proposed in Arundel and Kemp's [42] work and grouped their indicators according to the implementation of eco-innovation: (1) Implementation of eco-processes, (2) implementation of eco-products, (3) innovation strategy, and (4) performance of the company. Another interesting approach to the measurement of eco-innovation is proposed by Scarpellini et al [35], who developed a methodology to analyze the main characteristics of eco-innovation projects from the perspective of the business strategy, taking into account environmental, economic, and social indicators. Cheng and Shiu [40] also developed a set of indicators for the measurement of eco-innovation projects, grouping them into four dimensions or constructs: Green economy performance, economic and social performance, technological accumulation performance, and environmental protection performance.…”

Identifying Endogenous and Exogenous Indicators to Measure Eco-Innovation within Clusters

et al. 2020

Scientific and business environment literature shows that green, sustainable innovation or eco-innovation has proven to be a source of competitive advantage today. The industrial clusters, their dynamism, and the synergies created within them attract a lot of attention from the scientific community. However, to date, the joint study of these two concepts and, more specifically, the factors that drive eco-innovation specifically in a cluster, have not been studied in depth. This article models eco-innovation in industrial clusters, thus addressing this gap and proposing a model based on information gathered from the literature and a detailed analysis of behavior in relation to eco-innovation in different sectors. Results suggest that including eco-innovation variables and measures may have positive implications such as improvements at the strategic level and the reduction of costs and use of resources. An eco-innovation model for clusters is proposed. It considers eight key factors that seek to raise its competitive level by promoting eco-innovation within clusters. The model includes five internal factors that analyze business capabilities and three external factors that study the effect of launching eco-innovative activities. This model could help the companies’ managers and those responsible for clusters in creating more successful strategies to increase competitiveness by enhancing eco-innovation. It could also serve as a guide for government entities in the performance of eco-innovative activities in economic sectors.

“…Barney (1986) propõe que o uso de determinadas estratégias convergentes com determinados posicionamentos pode gerar vantagens competitivas para as organizações. Complementarmente, Albertini (2013) e Scarpellini et. al (2017) identificaram que questões de ordem ambiental são itens essenciais para a manutenção de uma cultura organizacional competitiva, argumento que já era defendido por Elkington (1997).…”

O mercado de franquias do Brasil tem se consolidado e mostrado fôlego de crescimento invejável nos últimos anos. Os atores franqueados, o franqueador e os clientes finais compõem a tríade que sustenta este ramo de atividades. Não obstante, a dinâmica de relacionamentos entre estes agentes impõe certos desafios para novos empreendedores. Na busca destas franquias para criar valor mercadológico e diferenciação, o tema de responsabilidade ambiental apresenta grande relevância. Com base nesta proposta, este estudo se dedica a avaliar a associação entre sinalização de atributos ambientais por parte das franquias e seus resultados econômicos de curto prazo em termos de faturamento, lucratividade e tempo de retorno dos investimentos. Utilizando-se de uma amostra bastante representativa de franquias operantes no Brasil, estimam-se modelos de regressão para práticas ambientais independentes e outorgadas por órgãos independentes. Com base nos dados obtidos por meio da estimação de modelos de regressão, não foi possível afirmar que as empresas emissoras de sinais relativos à questão ambiental alcançaram desempenho superior nos critérios avaliados. Com efeito, sinais significativos foram associados somente com tempos maiores de retorno dos investimentos realizados. Ainda que inesperados, estes resultados apresentam alinhamento com parte da literatura dedicada a estes fenômenos. Implicações destas evidências para o caso das franquias são elencadas e discutidas.
