“…Firstly, some previous studies have investigated the pre-determinants of green innovation adoption for enterprises; however, few of them have discussed this issue from multiple theoretical views [106][107][108]. To this end, this study integrated the technology acceptance model (TAM), stakeholder theory, and rational behavior theory (RBT), and established a comprehensive model framework.…”

Over the past decade, the rapid development of e-commerce and express industries in China has resulted in huge environmental costs. Compared with manufacturing industries, the values of green innovation are less recognized in logistics industries. To promote the green practices in logistic enterprises, it is imperative to have a thorough understanding of the determinants of green innovation adoption. To this end, this paper performs an empirical investigation into the intentions to adopt green innovation from 196 Chinese express companies. The determinant variables were constructed from the perspective of technology characteristics (perceived green usefulness and perceived integration ease of use), stakeholder pressure (government, customer, and platform pressures), and social influence. Then, a 20-item scale was designed based on the literature review and expert opinions. The results revealed the significant positive effects of technology characteristics and social influence on the intentions to adopt green innovation. Meanwhile, only the platform pressure was significant with the adopting intentions among the variables from stakeholder pressure. Moreover, variables from technology characteristics were found to have meditation effects between social influence and adopting intentions. Based on the findings, theoretical and practical implications are proposed to promote the green and sustainable development of express companies in China.

“…The research on carbon emission problems is being the mainstream in the existing green technology research. Therefore, this paper continue the research exploration as paper [2] but focus on the development trend in China to further invest the research status of green technology innovation after 10 years.…”

“…Through our exploration of the literature reviews within the domain of social energy system and sustainable development, we found that the literature review from the perspective of low carbon-oriented green technology is very few [2]. Carbon emission problem is becoming a serious issue right now, which is threatening the welfare of human beings.…”

This chapter aims to explore what subjects have been addressed in green technology innovation (GTI) in China and initiate a journey for the next generation of sustainable-oriented research. Thus, the work examined the literatures enlisted in the database of China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) on the topics of GTI from 1994 to 2019. Some critical discussion and conclusion are sighted as follows: (1) the research of GTI in China is getting mature compared to the energyinnovation related topics and the researches 10 years ago. It is becoming a dominated research subject. (2) The qualitative publications dominates the researches, the empirical researches are in a shortage. (3) The research subjects are multiperspective and multidisciplinary , covering environment science, management, energy and fuels, economics and social behavior. New vibrancy of advanced theoretical and methodological research is particularly needed. (4) The trend of green technology research appears an interdisciplinary research with the themes related to environmental subject, science technology, business economics, engineering and energy & fuels. (5) Different policy implementations have different effects due to the cost structure and maturity of renewable energy. (6) GTI cannot be isolated from the policy or regulation regime, and is becoming a new underpin of current sustainable development in China.

“…In recent years, developing countries such as China experienced increased growth of environmental non-government organizations (ENGOs), which are gradually becoming active players in the development of environmental policies (Yang 2005in Qi et al 2010. NGOs, along with local governments, have played a key role in the promotion of low carbon techniques (Shi and Lai 2013). NGOs have changed the means of communication with enterprises; they do not attack firms for unawareness of environmental issues but rather offer them consultation services on how to become green (Yarahmadi and Higgins 2011).…”
