“…Third, we focus on the so-called "fateful triangle" of innovation. This approach is gaining importance in the academic sphere (Ballot, Fakhfakh, Galia, & Salter, 2015) because, in addition to the widely analysed product and process innovation (i.e., Kim, Song, Sambamurthy, & Lee, 2012;Martínez-Conesa et al, 2017;Shu et al, 2016), it also considers organizational innovation.…”

“…Conceptual model II: CSR dimensions-innovation types link (i.e.,Luo & Du, 2015;Wagner, 2010); the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (i.e.,Gallego-Alvarez et al, 2011); firms' own surveys with choice instruments (i.e.,Curras-Pérez et al, 2018;Martínez-Conesa et al, 2017;Shu et al, 2016); or secondary surveys (i.e.,Bocquet et al, 2013Bocquet et al, , 2017. In this paper, the variables used to measure CSR are organized into three groups, as they are related to the economic, social, or environmental dimensions of CSR.…”

This study examines if the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and innovation is homogeneous or depends on the type of CSR practice and/or the type of innovation. The paper focuses on the three dimensions of the “three bottom line” of CSR (economic, social, and environmental) and on the so‐called “fateful triangle” of innovation, which together with studied product and process innovation types also considers organizational innovation. The theoretical framework is based on the resource‐based view and the knowledge‐based view approaches. In analysing sustainable innovation in the Spanish context, we look at a set of firms taking data for the 2009–2014 Spanish Community Innovation Survey. The empirical study uses random effect probit panel data methodology. The results show that, although the positive effect of CSR on innovation is confirmed for the majority of the cases, there are differences depending on the innovation type and the CSR dimension.

“…Some authors have suggested that entrepreneurs motivated by ethical concerns may be more successfully in green innovations (York & Venkataraman, 2010). A study by Shu, Zhou, Xiao, and Gao (2016) corroborates the notion that a commitment by firms to transition to green management or natural environment leads to radical innovation rather than incremental innovation. These findings are summarized in our third hypothesis as follows:…”

New ventures in Cleantech: Opportunities, capabilities and innovation outcomes

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Facing the challenge of climate change, innovations that imply environmental benefits create business opportunities for entrepreneurs. This paper analyzes innovation capabilities of startups in Cleantech and how the innovation outcomes of those startups develop over time. Based on the Mannheim Foundation Panel and applying propensity score matching, a cohort of 567 Cleantech startups is analyzed and compared with a control cohort of non‐Cleantech startups. We find that startups in Cleantech have, on average, higher technological capabilities compared with all other startups. Our econometric evidence shows that Cleantech startups are more likely to combine existing technology in a novel way. Finally, we find that Cleantech startups develop more market novelties in subsequent years when compared with their control group peers.

“…Because a list of firms with the contact information of top managers is not publicly available in China, previous research has often relied on government agencies to obtain such lists (Li, Xie, Teo, & Peng, 2010;Shu, Zhou, Xiao, & Gao, 2016;Walker, Ni, & Huo, 2014). In China, local governments often establish economic development zones that take charge of many firms.…”

Influence of supplier trust and relationship commitment on green supplier integration

Although the importance of green supplier integration has been recognized, our knowledge on what influences green supplier integration remains limited. Based on transaction cost theory and social exchange theory, this article develops hypotheses regarding the impacts of supplier trust and relationship commitment on green supplier integration, and the moderating effect of monitoring difficulty. We conduct hierarchical regression analyses to test these hypothesized relationships using survey data collected from 187 Chinese firms. The results reveal that supplier trust is positively related to normative commitment and instrumental commitment. Furthermore, normative commitment and instrumental commitment are positively related to green supplier integration, and partially mediate the relationship between supplier trust and green supplier integration. The results also indicate that monitoring difficulty negatively moderates the relationship between supplier trust and instrumental commitment, but does not significantly moderate the relationship between supplier trust and normative commitment. This study contributes to theory and practice by opening the “black box” of the trust–integration link.
