The objective of the current study was to examine the role of innovative ideas in business sustainability. The mediating role of innovative process, innovative production and innovative supply chain was also examined. Therefore, the relationship between innovative ideas, innovative process, innovative production, innovative supply chain and business sustainability was examined. Data was collected from the employees of textile companies. As the Indonesian textile companies were under investigation in the current study. Data was collected from Indonesian textile company employees. 300 questionnaires were sent to the textile companies with the help of email. Hence, email surveys were preferred with the help of questionnaires. Results of the study highlights that the innovative ideas had a major role in business sustainability. Introduction of new ideas inside the boundaries of the organization expedites the business sustainability. Additionally, innovative ideas have a positive effect on innovative production and innovative supply chains. Moreover, innovative production and innovative supply chain have a positive effect on business sustainability. Therefore, innovative ideas increase the innovative production and supply chain which further shows a positive effect on business sustainability.
Climate change has increasingly impacted businesses both on their growths and a risk of sustainability. The energy sector has been the main contributor of carbon emissions to the atmosphere, accounting for 66.5 percent of total world emissions (Herzog, 2009). As a consequence, the energy sector will be a focus of international scrutiny and strategy of emission reduction. With the recent controversial concerns in global warming issue, various mitigation and adaptation technologies, measures, and strategies, have been undergoing proposed and implemented since the early 2000s. Such activities require a usage of both internal and external knowledge in developing those innovations to be launched consistently and successfully. Several researchers have identified that relying on closed innovation system to create innovation is insufficient and no longer sustainable for a knowledge intensive sector in particular. The open innovation model, proposed by Henry Chesbrough in 2003, has been frequently applied to offer a more effective approach in generating innovation by using internal and external knowledge. There is, however, a lack of indepth research carrying on the issue of how one could efficiently implement open innovation to address the certain challenge, especially in energy sector which are now encountering the challenge of climate change. The purpose of this research is to develop an open innovation model that can assist in adopting open innovation process in Thai energy sector with a view to combating with climate change concern. The study also aim to assess the impact of the integration of open innovation approaches within Thai energy sector through its appreciation level of the related stakeholder with a view to suggest policy implications for energy sector in contesting with a controversial climate change concern in the future. While this research focuses on energy sector in Thailand, its findings should be relevant for other countries that are in the process of combating with climate change concern.
Food industry has vital importance globally in which supply chain sustainability plays a key role. Therefore, the objective of this study is to examine the role of passion, planning, goal setting and target achievement in a sustainable supply chain. This study examined the relationship between passion, planning, goal setting, target achievement and sustainable supply chain among the food industry of Indonesia. Questionnaire survey was preferred, and 500 questionnaires were used for data collection. Findings of the study concluded that passion has a positive role in target achievement and an insignificant effect on sustainable supply chain. Planning has a positive effect on target achievement and sustainable supply chain. Moreover, goal setting has a positive role in target achievement and no role in supply chain. Furthermore, target achievement has a significant mediating role. Finally, the relationship between passion, planning, goal setting, target achievement and sustainable supply chain has valuable contributions to the literature.
