“…In four articles from Table 1, the focus is one particular arena of the eco-innovation process, which involves resource exchange, actions and learning among stakeholders: the fuzzy front-end of eco-innovation [3] or demonstration and pilot projects [4,73,74]. We decided to focus on the other four articles that have a more longitudinal character for the eco-innovation and the network collaboration [12][13][14]75]. Focus on the co-creation practices (actions, actors, resources), rather than just the innovation output [12] Renovation of old buildings through multiple suppliers…”

“…Furthermore, there is not a common definition of process in all of these studies. In [12] and [75], the authors use the concept of stakeholder constellations to explain the eco-innovation process and the changes of the configuration of the value network over time. The focus is on the journey approach to the innovation process, which implies how technologies are developed and implemented by the network, while interactions among stakeholders are considered part of the process.…”

“…However, this literature often fails to explain how these drivers influence and shape the eco-innovation process, including its activities and events. Meanwhile, extant research about eco-innovation processes highlights that changes in the environment (technology, regulations, market) can affect stakeholders' relations within collaborative networks [12,13]. Multi-stakeholder eco-innovation projects are an area of increasing interest in the literature [12,14].…”

Previous studies discuss how regulatory, technological and market drivers increasingly challenge manufacturing industries to adopt eco-innovations. However, the understanding of the process by which eco-innovations are developed and commercialized as a result of these drivers is not yet well established, in particular because these drivers are perceived differently by the end-users and their suppliers. In this paper, we address the following research question: How do eco-innovation drivers shape processes in value-creating networks? To answer this question, we carried out a case study purposely selected to understand how eco-innovation drivers, such as regulation, market pull and technology, interact and affect the eco-innovation decisions in a given industry. We analyzed the processes in an eco-innovation initiative about retrofitting old ships, contextualized in the maritime equipment and supply industry. The paper makes two novel contributions: First, we develop a framework that can support supply-network eco-innovation initiatives to deal with changes at the regulatory, market and technology levels. The framework includes elements, such as value co-creation to explore technological opportunities emerging from the interaction of the drivers or value proposition development to align multiple actors' interests in the network and agree on shared expectations to exploit the opportunities. Second, we contribute to the emerging research area on eco-innovation processes by highlighting the lesser-known role of value-creating network dynamics. Value-creating networks can be a platform for the development of more radical eco-innovations if actors in the networks can align their value creation and capture objectives.
