“…Tseng et al (2013) observed that cultivating and disseminating green knowledge within firms positively influenced the ideation and execution of creative green solutions, further supporting this notion. GKM cultivates an environment that values and shares green knowledge, thereby fostering innovation and nurturing green culture (Weina and Yanling 2022). Furthermore, GKM equips employees with the necessary tools and knowledge to think creatively about sustainability, enhancing the company's innovative ability to respond to environmental struggles (Abbas and Sağsan, 2019).…”

This study examines the interconnectedness between Green Market Orientation (GMO) and Green Knowledge Management (GKM) in connection to Green Competitive Advantage (GCA) within Chinese green businesses. This research also focuses on the mediating influence of Green Creativity (GC). Drawing on the Knowledge-Based View (KBV), we examine how GMOs and GKM improve enterprises’ green creativity and subsequent green competitive advantage. Using a comprehensive survey of 325 environmentally conscious Chinese companies and an advanced PLS-SEM analysis, our findings offer several important insights. Our findings reveal that GMOs substantially affect both GC and GCA, highlighting their crucial role in fostering a company’s innovative green capabilities and competitive position. Concurrently, GKM positively affects GC and GCA, emphasizing the importance of effectively using and leveraging green knowledge within businesses. Furthermore, we observe the mediating role of GC in the relationships between GMO and GCA, as well as GKM and GCA. This finding underscores the need to promote GC to maximize the advantages of market orientation and knowledge management in attaining a green competitive advantage. These results not only add to the existing KBV theoretical framework, but they also have important implications for managers because they show how important it is to fully incorporate green practices into an organization’s strategy in order to gain a sustainable competitive advantage.

“…Nonetheless, educators should aim to design and develop T&L activities which promote sustainability awareness among students in HE classrooms. The literature includes studies such as An and Yang (2022) which emphasize the critical role that students' sustainability awareness plays in achieving SD. There is a need for educators to revisit and re-design T&L activities in view of their HEIs' sustainability agendas to educate students about sustainability issues and encourage them to act about it.…”

The integration of digital technologies in Higher Education (HE) has dramatically changed the way students learn, however it has also raised critical concerns about the sustainability aspects of digital learning. Although a considerable amount of literature has been published on digital learning and Sustainable Development (SD) in HE, further research is needed to establish a comprehensive research framework which synthesises and organises the knowledge in this area. This paper draws on a critical review of the literature to develop a conceptual research framework on sustainable digital learning in HE from an Information Systems’ lens. The proposed framework is the outcome of a thorough integrative review, followed by a thematic analysis of relevant sources which outlines common research themes in the literature and identifies major areas for future research. The proposed framework provides researchers and educators with valuable insights on the use of digital technologies to promote SD in HE and highlights the importance of sustainability awareness. It further defines focus areas and future research directions which can guide their research, thereby assisting in building a coherent body of knowledge in this research area.

“…To remove or reduce the barriers to a circular economy (CE), knowledge management can be applied in the ecosystem to incorporate the sustainability dimension (Weina & Yanling, 2022) and the principles of circular early into the product design. This involves the creation, organisation, accumulation and sharing of knowledge among multiple parties and involves actors from both the macro-environment and the interior of the ecosystem.…”

Knowledge of the Business Ecosystem and the Implementation of a Circular Economy

Part of the European Green Deal is the Circular Economy Action Plan. Among other things, this plan formulates priorities for the design of products and production processes so that they are climate-neutral, correspond to a resource-efficient and circular economy (CE) and lead to a reduction of waste. These actions require companies not only to make changes to their organisational and management systems, but also to make investments. For this reason, these changes do not encourage companies to introduce the principles of the circular economy. Such encouragement can come from the business ecosystem. The aim of this article is to answer the question of whether companies gain such knowledge about the ecosystem in which they operate that encourages them to replace harmful technologies with friendly ones, to use their waste in their own production processes and those of other companies, and to neutralise their waste. This includes knowledge relating to the regulatory, economic, social, environmental and technological segments, as well as knowledge gained from buyers, suppliers and also competitors. The research hypothesis of the paper is that the greater this knowledge is, the more companies engage in the introduction of CE principles. In order to verify this hypothesis, an empirical study was conducted in 150 medium and large-sized companies belonging to 19 industrial sectors. Data were obtained using an interview questionnaire and were processed using a Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA and post hoc test. The results obtained allow us to conclude that knowledge of changes occurring in macro-environmental segments is more influential than knowledge obtained from buyers, suppliers and competitors. Companies that have knowledge of the changes taking place in the ecosystem perceive and exploit these changes and actions towards a circular economy as business opportunities. The research results obtained are useful for indicating the practical steps that leaders in the introduction of circular economy principles are taking in order to acquire the necessary knowledge about the ecosystem. They can also provide some contribution to the development of a sustainable product policy legislative initiative by the European Commission using the performance of these leaders.
