“…The latter encompasses the firms' need to satisfy its stakeholders such as customers, suppliers, and third parties. Recently, stakeholder collaboration has increasingly received attention in EI research (He et al, 2018), which has largely been investigated from a techno-centric R&D perspective (Araújo & Franco, 2021). In addition, Petruzzelli et al (2011) have exposed that the development of "environmental innovations" (i.e., environmental technologies), in comparison to "conventional" ones, demand firms to establish extended collaboration structures with inter-organizational actors and among intra-organizational groups.…”

Scholars, politicians, and practitioners have recently advocated that eco-innovation (EI) is critical to achieve the circular economy (CE) vision. While much of the available body of knowledge on EI has predominantly focused on "eco-efficient" incremental technological innovation, a successful CE transition requires systemic "eco-effective" CE innovation. Yet, little is known about what barriers and drivers are stimulating systemic CE innovation in different sectors and regions. This research aims to deliver an identification of major CE barriers and drivers that impede or facilitate systemic "eco-effective" CE innovation in the European polyurethane plastics industry. A hybrid research approach is applied using an original combination of the inductive GABEK method ("GAnzheitliche BEwältigung von Komplexität"-holistic processing of complexity) with deductive consideration of existing theories. Novel findings indicate that barriers to CE innovation largely materialize on individual firm and intra-industrial levels, while drivers to CE innovation primarily manifest beyond immediate industrial boundaries (inter-/cross-industrial). The key contribution lies on revealing the necessity to reframe the focus from mere individual "optimization", which has been primarily discussed in the contemporary EI literature, to a collective (horizontal) "coordination" challenge across industries to enable a functional CE innovation. In addition, five strategic deliberations are proposed to facilitate and further advance the management of systemic CE innovation activities.

“…Providing abundant resources, services, and social networking opportunities, industrial parks have become an important arena for supporting the innovation and growth of enterprises [1]. To cope with survival pressures from resource scarcity, high innovation risks, and technology complexity, many new enterprises choose to cooperate with other enterprises in their R&D, production, and marketing [2,3]. Collaboration contributes to greater innovation returns and higher success rates, which support the sustained growth of enterprises and motivates more enterprises to participate in the cooperation of innovation activities [3][4][5].…”

Enterprise Reciprocity and Risk Preferences and the Sustainable Cooperation of Innovation Activities in Industrial Parks

The sustainable cooperation of innovation in industrial parks is of great significance to the sustainable development of enterprises and parks. Factors explaining enterprise innovation cooperation activities in industrial parks have attracted great attention in scholarly research. In this article, a preference-based snowdrift game model on complex networks is proposed, where different combinations of enterprise reciprocity and risk preferences are introduced into the game model. The impact of these preferences on the sustainability of cooperation in mature and less-mature parks, characterized by different network styles, is examined through simulations. The investigation reveals that reciprocity and risk preferences have an effect on the sustainable emergence of enterprise cooperation under the constraints of a loss-to-profit ratio of cooperation, network average degree, and network style. Reciprocity preferences of enterprises are shown to have a greater impact on the sustainable emergence of cooperation than risk preference in two types of parks. Additionally, this advantage is more significant in less-mature parks. The results show the positive relationships between combinations of risk aversion and reciprocity preferences and the emergence of cooperation from a long-term perspective. This study concludes with a discussion of management suggestions and policy implications. The findings shed light on the understanding of the sustainable emergence of innovation cooperation in industrial parks.

“…Pode-se reputar como técnicas inovadoras voltadas para a sustentabilidade ambiental, a quaisquer ações implementadas na direção de minimizar os efeitos negativos impactantes na biosfera, por exemplo, a utilização dos recursos naturais com parcimônia (e se possível, gerando e valendo-se de métodos que auxiliem na reutilização dos mesmos); a diminuição (incluindo a retenção) e criação de controles de monitoramento das emissões de gases ocasionados pela produção de bens e serviços. Ainda exemplificando, há a reparação de devastações antigas provocadas no meio ambiente, a reciclagem e o desenvolvimento de tecnologias e produtos ecologicamente corretos (HEMMELSKAMP, 1996;ARUNDEL, 1998;ARAÚJO;FRANCO, 2021).…”

The work in question deals with identifying the attributes and capabilities present in associative organizations or meta-organizations (commonly called business associations), which facilitate and contribute to the promotion of innovations for environmental sustainability or green innovations. Faced with the existing environmental conflicts in the ecosystem, it is necessary to encourage the creation and adoption of ecologically correct practices, in order to make it possible to set back these devastations, which in past decades had already been predicted by researchers around the world. However, the topics discussed here – Green Innovation and Meta-organization, are still relatively little explored in the academic world, so qualitative research was adopted in the present study, because in addition to the scarcity of research, the subjects analyzed belong to the social areas. and human. The study of multiple cases was used as the main methodological tool of investigation, due to the choice of eight meta-organizations for the realization of this project, whose object of analysis is focused, precisely, on the organizational structure of these associative organizations. Another method used in carrying out this study, however, in a supplementary way, was the collection and analysis of data that took place through the elaboration of a research protocol addressed to the application of a semi-structured interview, and to obtain information from the databases secondary. With the conclusion of the work in evidence, it was found that, when organizations come together to establish a meta-organization (this new format of multidimensional organizational structure), through their inherent characteristics, they have better conditions to generate eco-innovative practices. It was also demonstrated with the end of this research, that meta-organizations develop a solid conscience among their participants (and the community where they are inserted), pertinent to implement green innovations in order to restore the environment from the terrible impacts suffered and maintain it. for the existence, not only of fauna and flora, but of human beings and their future generations
