“…Trust facilitates open communication and reduces the perceived risks associated with exchanging sensitive or valuable information. Furthermore, studies have identified a positive correlation between the levels of trust and the atmosphere for innovation, indicating that trust can enhance a company's innovation capacity through the promotion of knowledge sharing [22]. Based on these insights, the study advances the following hypotheses: H4a.…”

In an era marked by global challenges, for example, the COVID-19 pandemic, the pharmaceutical sector stands at the forefront of innovation, tasked with delivering therapeutic breakthroughs at an unprecedented pace. This study ventures beyond the well-trodden path by probing the intricate dynamics of knowledge sharing as a strategic catalyst for bolstering innovation capability and performance (ICP) within pharmaceutical firms. We argue that knowledge sharing transcends conventional utility, acting as a pivotal lever that amplifies innovation within a highly regulated and competitive landscape. Through meticulous analysis, we unearth a nuanced synergy among six pivotal domains—organizational culture, managerial commitment, technological infrastructure, trust, reciprocal benefits, and knowledge dissemination. Our research model, anchored in a robust body of literature, reveals that while these elements individually support ICP, their collective orchestration through knowledge-sharing networks yields a magnified impact on innovation outcomes. We present novel insights illustrating that the interplay between these domains and knowledge-sharing practices engenders a fertile ecosystem for innovation, where diverse stakeholders contribute to richer, more robust ICP. Our findings underscore the strategic imperative for pharmaceutical firms to cultivate an integrated knowledge-sharing culture, not merely as good practice but as a cornerstone for sustained innovation and competitive superiority in a rapidly evolving industry.

“…The second phase involves keyword searches in Web of Science and Google Scholar over the past decade. These databases are widely used, have broader journal coverage, and include many recent publications (Z.-S. Chen et al, 2024). The search terms used in the database search encompass a range of topics, including 'cold chain e-fulfilment eco-innovation barrier', 'e-commerce cold chain eco-innovation barrier', 'cold chain sustainability transition barrier', 'cold chain sustainable development barrier', 'sustainable e-commerce cold chain', 'e-commerce cold chain sustainable challenges', 'e-commerce cold chain technological eco-innovation', 'e-commerce cold chain policy and regulation', 'e-commerce cold chain social sustainability', 'e-commerce cold chain operation and organisation management', 'e-commerce cold chain eco-innovation challenges', and 'sustainable cold chain e-fulfilment challenges', resulting in nine documents.…”

The growing demand for cold chain e-fulfilment services has created challenges for implementing low-carbon practices due to the use of extensive energy and insulation materials required to maintain the desired service quality throughout the supply chain. This study applies the Fuzzy Best Worst Method with group decision-making capabilities to identify and prioritise eco-innovation barriers in the context of cold chain e-fulfilment. Through analysing expert opinions, it is found that (i) integration with legacy systems, (ii) high implementation costs, (iii) limited stakeholder engagement and communication, and (iv) limited awareness and education on eco-innovation are the most pressing eco-innovation barriers. Subsequently, insights and guidelines to integrate eco-innovation initiatives in cold chain e-commerce are suggested, highlighting the role of social eco-innovation. All in all, this research contributes to the next-generation sustainable development of cold chain e-fulfilment, aiming to balance environmental, social, and economic sustainability.
