“…At this stage, we excluded additional six firms due to missing data on our variables of interest. These data were compiled from the China Stock Market & Accounting Research Database (CSMAR), in line with previous work also leveraging this database to provide insights into ARs (Liu et al, 2020 ) and firm innovation (Gao et al, 2020 ). This approach yielded a final sample of 1357 manufacturers.…”

This study investigates the impact of the Chinese government's Level I emergency response policy on manufacturers' stock market values. We empirically examine the roles of human resource dependence (labor intensity) and operational slack within the context of supply chain resilience. Through an event study of 1357 Chinese manufacturing companies, we find that the government's emergency response policy triggered statistically significant positive abnormal returns for manufacturers. However, we also find that there exists a negative impact on abnormal returns for manufacturers that are labor‐intensive, giving rise to arguments based in resource dependence theory. In addition, the results indicate the positive role played by operational slack (e.g., financial and inventory slack) in helping manufacturers maintain operations and business continuity, effectively mitigating risks and adding to the manufacturers' resilience. With these findings, we contribute to operations and supply chain management by calling attention to the importance of human resource redundancy while at the same time identifying financial slack and inventory as supply chain resilience strategies that were able to mitigate pandemic‐related risks.

“…Firms with higher leverage tend to make efforts to meet stakeholders' expectations regarding corporate sustainability, such as engaging in green innovation (Li, Zhao, et al, 2018). As firms become more mature, they may lose their ability to compete and innovate (Gao et al, 2022). Firms with poorer financial performance may use green innovation to improve their public image and increase stakeholder confidence (Du, 2015).…”

CEO's marketing experience and firm green innovation

Drawing on upper echelons theory (UET), we examine whether and how chief executive office (CEO) marketing experience affects firm green innovation. Using a sample of Chinese‐listed manufacturing firms from 2008–2020 and hand‐collected data on CEO marketing experience, we find a positive relationship between CEOs' marketing experience and corporate green innovation. The positive relationship is robust after a series of robustness tests. Our further investigations reveal that the positive relationship is more pronounced when firms face higher‐level media coverage and stricter local environmental regulations. In addition, using textual analysis, we also find that market‐oriented culture plays a critical mediating role in this positive relationship. These findings enrich the relevant literature on strategic leadership and green innovation and are essential for companies and policymakers in developing green innovation strategies.

“…Firm leverage is controlled, as firms with higher leverage tend to make efforts such as green innovation to satisfy stakeholders' expectations for sustainable corporate development (Li et al, 2018). Following Gao et al (2020), firm listing age is controlled, as firms may lose their ability to compete and innovate over time. A firm's cash ratio is also controlled, a proxy of liquidity.…”

Do major customers encourage innovative sustainable development? Empirical evidence from corporate green innovation in China

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper examines the impact of customer concentration on green innovation in Chinese listed firms between 2006 and 2018 through the dynamic panel generalized method of moments regressions. It is reported that major customers positively impact corporate green innovation, indicating that firms have more incentives to engage in innovative green practices to maintain stable relationships with major customers. In addition, the positive relationship between customer concentration and green innovation is more pronounced in state-owned enterprises, firms located in the provinces with a high level of marketization, and after China's new Environmental Protection Law implementation. Moreover, we observe that the positive impact of customer concentration on corporate green innovation is more significant among industrial firms and firms operating in heavily polluting industries. Furthermore, industrial competition is an essential channel for major customers to affect corporate green innovation.
