The study explains the flow of knowledge in the circular economy model enterprises. We analyze the impact of managerial decisions on the absorptive capacity, which is new product development, considering the role of critical elements of strategic orientation (innovation and costs) in the textile industry. Based on the verification of hypotheses by employing the SEM method, innovation orientation is a mediator between adaptability-oriented decisions and transformation, and between adaptability-oriented decisions and exploitation. Ambidexterity-oriented decisions affect absorptive capacity. These findings semanticize and extend previous research, indicating that strategic activities focused on eco-innovations are transformed into the process of creating a new product.

“…Having access to external knowledge enables firms to learn, leading to the establishment of necessary changes to adopt new practices aimed at sustainability (Albort-Morant, Henseler et al, 2018). Firms need to develop internal capacities to recognize and absorb new knowledge to facilitate new practices (Hashim et al, 2015). Capacity development by the firm makes it possible to change routines and activities to achieve actions aimed at sustainability (Dzhengiz & Niesten, 2020).…”

“…The cluster firms' level of growth directly impacts the cluster's success or failure (Villar & Walter, 2017). It is worthwhile to pay attention to the fact that the firm's growth requires attention to sustainability (Vaz & Nijkamp, 2009) to adopt sustainability practices (Hashim et al, 2015).…”

Objective: this study aimed to analyze the moderating role of the firm's participation level in a cluster in the relation between absorptive capacity and economic, social, and environmental sustainability practices. Methods: data were collected through a survey applied to 417 small and medium-sized firms participating in clusters. Results: results indicate that the absorptive capacity influences positively and directly the adoption of economic, social, and environmental sustainability practices. Such relations are moderated by the firm's level of participation in a cluster. Conclusions: we conclude that it is vital for the firm to seek external information and use it in line with the information and resources it already has to generate economic, social, and environmental sustainability practices. In addition, firms with a higher level of participation in a cluster are more likely to grow, establish partnerships, carry out innovation, and increase productivity.

“…For this reason, absorptive capacity and R&D activities are key determinants of innovation and firms should continuously stimulate and promote such activities and any associated capabilities (Miroshnychenko et al , 2020). Therefore, increased absorptive capacity in a company will help it gain and use knowledge to develop eco-innovations (Hashim et al , 2015; Aboelmaged and Hashem, 2019). The ability to add new knowledge to existing knowledge is conditioned by internal environmental awareness and the level of learning maturity a company has (Flor et al , 2018).…”

“…In this study, we analyse the effects of internal and external knowledge on the success of new green products and contribute to the prior understanding of how internal knowledge can serve as a stimulus to external knowledge, positively affecting the creation of new products. Moreover, in terms of new knowledge creation for the development of new green products, previous studies have highlighted the importance of promoting certain dynamic capabilities, such as organisational learning (Albort-Morant et al , 2016), absorption capacity (Lane and Lubatkin, 1998; Hashim et al , 2015; Albort-Morant et al , 2018) or organisational agility (Hamad and Yozgat, 2017). Based on the dynamic capabilities approach, Teece et al (2016) refer to agility as an organisation’s ability to efficiently and effectively redeploy or redirect its resources towards activities that create, protect and capture value, as internal and external circumstances demand.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to analyse the effect of organisational agility on environmental knowledge as an instrument for the successful development of eco-innovation in products. Design/methodology/approach This study used a cross-sectional design to collect data on the study variables from a sample of 184 Spanish manufacturing organisations. Structural equations with partial least squares were used to test the hypotheses. Findings Organisational agility is significantly linked to internal and external environmental knowledge. The results of this study highlight the effect of external knowledge on the success of eco-innovation. Internal environmental knowledge positively moderates the effect of external knowledge on the success of green products. Research limitations/implications Based on the dynamic capabilities approach, a theoretical model has been proposed in which organisational agility is configured as an effective capacity for the development of environmental knowledge. The results confirm this relationship and indicate that, although internal environmental knowledge is not decisive in developing new green products, it does enhance the effect of external knowledge on the success of eco-innovation. Practical implications Innovative companies must implement organisational agility practices that promote environmental knowledge for the success of new green products. They should also promote both external and internal knowledge. Originality/value This study addresses the little explored area of the relationship between organisational agility and the successful development of new green products. The inherent particularities of eco-innovation prompt the need for further studies on the creation of specific knowledge for its promotion. This study concludes that adopting agile practices enables key environmental knowledge for this type of innovation to be created. Additionally, it explores the tensions arising from the dichotomy between internal and external knowledge, with scarce resources allocated to the most effective source. Although both types of knowledge seem to be equally relevant, external knowledge plays a more significant role in the case of eco-innovation. A final contribution of this study is the finding that internal knowledge can further enhance the effect of external knowledge on the development of successful green products.
