“…This stance supports Gyau and Stringer’s (2011) argument that institutional Isomorphism should feature prominently when explaining innovation and diffusion processes. In addition, our paper contributes to the theoretical and empirical debate about the intra-firm diffusion of new technologies in developing countries (Battisti and Stoneman, 2003; Bayo-Moriones and Lera-Lopez, 2007; Khalifa, 2022), using SMEs of the H&T sector as illustrative context. Few studies have focused on the isomorphic relationship between national and organisational culture (e.g.…”

“…However, the rigorous application of this paradigm to empirical research on the nexus of green marketing strategy and new technology implementation in SMEs of developing economies still needs to be improved. Four: Our paper contributes to the “theoretical and empirical debate about intra-firm diffusion of new technologies in developing countries” (Battisti and Stoneman, 2003; Bayo-Moriones and Lera-Lopez, 2007; Khalifa, 2022), using SMEs in the H&T sector of a developing country as illustrative context.…”

PurposeThis paper aimed to test a proposed framework highlighting strategic green marketing initiatives and how they drive new technology implementation towards green corporate performance, underpinned by institutional isomorphism.Design/methodology/approachThe study used a quantitative method and convenience sampling approach in gathering data using adapted questionnaires to solicit first-hand information from 225 employees of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the tourism and hospitality sector underpinned by the theory of institutional isomorphism.FindingsThe study shows that green communication and green strategy alignment have significant predictive effects on new technology implementation. Cultural isomorphism significantly moderated the effects of implementing new technology (i.e. green communication and strategy alignment). In addition, “new technology implementation had a significant predictive effect on green corporate performance”. Meanwhile, the moderation effect of “green creative behaviour on the new technology-green corporate performance dyad was positive but insignificant.”Originality/valueThe study’s novel framework confirms how green communication strategy and green strategy alignment complement cultural isomorphism to explain the impact of new technology implementation on green corporate performance, underpinned by institutional isomorphism.

“…First, the use of the Internet increases the fixed inputs of the firm. The use of the Internet involves a series of transformations, including equipment upgrading, technology development, and organizational transformation [33]. However, these transformations may face obstacles such as mismatched production processes, a lack of human capital, and underdeveloped application scenarios [25].…”

The Internet has profoundly affected the spatial structure of cities, but few relevant studies have investigated it from the perspective of manufacturing agglomeration. Using panel data of prefecture-level cities in China covering the period 2003–2019, this paper studies how the Internet affects manufacturing agglomeration. The results show that there is a U-shaped relationship between the Internet and manufacturing agglomeration, and the underlying channel can be the enhancement of market potential. Human capital can enhance the role of the Internet in promoting manufacturing agglomeration. The findings can contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between the Internet and urban spatial structure in developing countries.
