Effects of Sustainability and Technology Orientations on Firm Growth: Evidence from Chinese Manufacturing

“…Firm size was indicated by the logarithm of the number of employees, and firm age was measured by the number of years since its establishment. Then, given that prior studies show that the differentiation of concepts in a cognitive structure and the interconnectedness between concepts also influence the competitive success of firms [66], we also included the comprehensiveness and connectedness of cognitive structures as control variables. Comprehensiveness was measured by the number of concepts (N c ) that appear in the cognitive structure, while the connectedness is measured by the ratio of the total number of connections in the cognitive structure to the total number of concepts (N L /N c ).…”
