This study discusses the influences of green absorptive capacity, green dynamic capacities, and green service innovation on firm performance. In order to fill the research gap, this study proposes the concept of green service innovation. The results are as follows: First, this study finds that green absorptive capacity has positive effects on green dynamic capacities, green service innovation, and firm performance. Second, this study points out that green dynamic capacities have positive effects on green service innovation and firm performance. Third, this study observes that green dynamic capacities and green service innovation intercede the positive connection between green absorptive capacity and firm performance.

This study examines the influences of market orientation, supply chain relationship quality, and absorptive capacity on competitive advantage in green supply chains. We examine the intensity of these relationships in a green supply chain context. This study aims to figure out the effects of green market orientation (GMO), green supply chain relationship quality (GRQ), and green absorptive capacity (GAC) on green competitive advantage (GCA) in a supply chain. We find a significant positive association between these constructs. It highlights the importance of antecedents such as GMO, GRQ, and GAC on improving GCA. We jointly investigate the effects of GMO, GRQ, and GAC on green supply chain competitive advantage. This study uses Process Macro 2.15 to test the mediation effect between GMO and GCA. The result shows that GRQ and GAC completely mediate the relationship between GMO and GCA and that the effect sizes are 0.11 and 0.20, respectively. This study also reruns the model to clarify whether competing models are better than our model. However, the performance of such a competing model is poor. Finally, we accept our model instead of the competing model. GMO and GRQ among team managers and employees appear to contribute positively to GCA. Although GAC does not directly influence GCA, GMO has a significant total effect on GCA when intervened by GRQ and GAC. The key contribution is that green market orientation, i.e., the employee culture and the emphasis on being environmentally responsible, is a key antecedent to GRQ, GAC, and GCA. Managerial implications of the findings are listed.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the influences of green entrepreneurial orientation (GEO) and green relationship quality (GRQ) on green service innovation (GSI). Design/methodology/approach The authors mailed 1,898 questionnaires to the sampled companies. Ultimately, 207 companies participated in the authors’ study. This resulted in a valid sample of 542 hotel managers. Findings The research results indicate that GEO improves GRQ and GSI. Furthermore, GRQ positively affects GSI and mediates the relationship between GEO and GSI. Research limitations/implications The authors’ study enhances the quality of nature and highlights the mediation role of GRQ. Practical implications Firms can create and establish GRQ to enhance their GSI. Social implications The authors’ study shows that environmentally friendly firms can enhance natural locations and conditions of natural resources. Originality/value This study aims to develop a context-specific model of GEO for hospitality managers. 研究目的 本论文旨在研究绿色创业倾向和绿色关系质量对于绿色服务创新的影响。 研究设计/方法/途径 本论文采用邮寄问卷采样形式, 向采样公司共寄出1898份问卷。最终, 207家公司参与本研究项目。有效样本数量为542份来自酒店经理人的问卷。 研究结果 绿色创业倾向对于绿色关系质量和绿色服务创新有着促进作用。此外, 绿色关系质量积极地影响绿色服务创新, 并且对于绿色创业倾向和绿色服务创新有着中间变量的作用。 研究理论限制/意义 本论文对提高自然质量有着促进作用, 并且着重说明了绿色关系质量的中间调解作用。 研究实践意义 公司能够通过创造和建立绿色关系质量的手段来提高他们的绿色服务创新。 研究原创性/价值 本论文以特定背景为基础, 建立了一个针对酒店经理人的绿色创业倾向的模型.

This study re-examined the determinants of market value from the perspectives of patent analysis and patent litigation in the American semiconductor industry. We used artificial neural networks to explore the influences of patent counts, defendant counts of patent litigation, and patent share on market value in the American semiconductor industry. The patent data were collected from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, legal data were collected from the database of Westlaw and the financial data were collected from the database of COMPUSTAT. The results show that patent counts and defendant counts of patent litigation have a positive effect on corporate performance in the American semiconductor industry. However, patent share has a negative effect on corporate performance in the American semiconductor industry. Accordingly, we can apply the three indicators, patent counts, defendant counts of patent litigation, and patent share, to assess market value of American semiconductor companies.
