“…The institutional environment plays a critical role in promoting corporate innovation by providing the necessary framework, sustainable incentives, and support for companies to pursue new ideas and initiatives (West & Sacramento, 2023). A supportive institutional environment can help companies overcome various barriers and take advantage of new opportunities, allowing them to stay competitive and thrive in today's rapidly changing business landscape (Grama-Vigouroux et al, 2023).…”

Modern corporate success is primarily reliant on a perfect balance of institutional effectiveness, innovation, and sustainability. Therefore, the primary goal of this research is to evaluate the impact of institutional frameworks on corporate innovation in developing countries. To achieve the said objective, we use firm and country data from multiple sources, and the final dataset consists of 24,166 observations from 41 developing countries during 2014–2018. For the analysis, we employ ordered probit and instrumental variable ordered probit regression models. According to the results, the success of corporate innovation in developing countries hinges on the strength of legal, financial, administrative, political, and religious institutions. Moreover, such associations stand out more clearly in nations with strong and stable institutional frameworks. The regression results show that innovative enterprises are more prevalent in strong institutional environments compared to those in poor institutional environments. These results also indicate that a strong rule of law, protection of property rights, easy access to financing, developed financial markets, an ethical environment, control of corruption, a stable political system, a democratic government, religious diversity, and freedom all contribute to corporate innovation. Moreover, institutional efficiency and corporate viability fuel the engine of corporate innovation, encouraging enterprises to create game‐changing products and services. These results contribute to the field of innovation management by considering institutional settings for sustainable development. The results have practical applications for building robust institutions and a creative culture.

“…In response to changes in environmental policies, legal regulations, and pressure from governments, customers, competitors, and other stakeholders to minimize the negative impact of operations on the environment, industrial firms are increasingly trying to adopt more sustainable practices in their decision making and daily operations [1], [2], [39]. According to recent studies, enhanced sustainability performance cannot be achieved without innovative approaches [6], [31]. Indeed, innovation is the central element that will enable businesses to improve their environmental and social performance, which in turn will enable them to evolve along the sustainability trajectory [4], [38].…”

“…Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that manufacturers may choose to partner with complementary actors by orchestrating ecosystems [29], [30]. By doing so, firms are seeking new synergies, partnerships, and collaboration formats that will enable them to maintain their competitiveness within an ecosystem [31], [32]. It is also possible to combine these approaches in different strategy configurations [15].…”

Manufacturing companiesare introducing innovative ways to facilitate the sustainable transition of their customers' operations. The emerging literature on digital servitization proposes numerous factors, such as the use of advanced AI analytics, orientation toward outcomes, and aligning ecosystem partnerships, which can potentially influence the sustainable performance of industrial customers. However, there is currently a lack of understanding regarding how these factors interact to result in sustainable outcomes. Hence, this study seeks to shed light on these complex relationships by identifying viable smart solution strategy configurations for achieving customer sustainable performance. Drawing on a dataset of 180 Swedish manufacturing firms, this study uses a configurational comparative methodnamely, fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) -to identify the impact of different configurations of "AI-driven optimization", "outcome orientation", "value co-creation", and "ecosystem orchestration" conditions on the realization of customer sustainable performance. This study has identified five smart solution strategies that empower manufacturers to realize sustainable performance for their customers. Among the five configurational strategies identified, the first configurational strategy appears to be the most prominent, as it is based on an outcome-based approach in which the firm uses its technological expertise and its ecosystem partnerships to take over customer operations. Thus, this study contributes to the ongoing discussion in digital servitization on its enabling role for industrial sustainability practices.

“…Giunipero et al (2012) underscored the need to identify the primary factors that contribute to sustainability, while Tokbolat et al (2020) advocated for additional research on the obstacles hindering the implementation of sustainability. Other studies recognised internal factors that foster the development of sustainability (Grama‐Vigouroux et al, 2023; Oliveira‐Dias et al, 2022; Sajjad et al, 2020), focusing on specific firm areas and processes, and consequently, it is possible to observe a fragmented picture when recognising drivers and barriers to sustainability strategies, and there is a call for more studies (Bocken & Geradts, 2020; Orji, 2019). This literature gap underlines the need to study and explore the internal dynamics of companies that are working hard to implement sustainability to refine the factors that allow or hinder sustainability, also identifying the relevance of each factor (Bocken & Geradts, 2020), thus contributing to the literature.…”

This research investigates the conditions under which an international organisation has adopted a successful approach to sustainability, focusing on the engagement (and perceptions) of internal actors at the operational level and on the management accounting tools that enhance and support a dialogic approach to sustainability. This study is based on an in‐depth analysis of CNH Industrial, a leading company in sustainability commitment. Data were collected through document analysis and in‐depth semi‐structured interviews with operational managers, thus using primary and secondary data. The study reveals how the internal stakeholders' dialogue is conducted and how stakeholders' engagement is built while implementing a strategy based on sustainability, highlighting the circular top‐down and bottom‐up attitude, based on a ‘convergence approach’. In this context, management accounting systems act as dialogic accounting tools. The research pays attention to internal stakeholders, analysing the creation of dialogue even through management accounting tools, which paves the way to new sustainable opportunities with a convergence approach, and drawing a picture of the relevant factors in the path to sustainability.
