“…Salem, Shawtari, Shamsudin, and Hussain (), based on 226 industrial corporations, consider different degrees of stakeholder integration in environmental matters, know‐how, and interaction, but their objective differs from that of our study, as they study the effects on a firm's competitiveness, measured through three constructs: profits, satisfaction, and image‐related aspects. Finally, Cunico et al () studied the effect of technological cooperation (as the highest degree of integration) on eco‐innovation strategy in cassava processing companies. Using a sample of 33 questionnaires, the authors conclude that firms do not have the necessary competencies for an efficient eco‐innovation strategy alone and require cooperation with other organizations.…”

“…According to current management literature, the implantation of such eco‐innovative practices can be interpreted as a response to stakeholders' environmental demands and preferences (Ayuso, Rodríguez, & Ricart, ; Cunico, Cirani, Lopes, & Jabbour, ; Ryszko, ; Yarahmadi & Higgins, ). Several studies provide empirical evidence showing that intensity of stakeholder pressure is a factor that promotes proactive environmental strategies, based on technological and organizational environmental improvement measures that exceed regulatory requirements (Christmann, ; Ferrón‐Vilchez, Darnall, & Aragón‐Correa, ; Murillo‐Luna, Garcés‐Ayerbe, & Rivera‐Torres, ; Sharma & Henriques, ; Valero‐Gil, Scarpellini, Garcés‐Ayerbe, & Rivera‐Torres, ).…”

This study analyses the effect of communication and cooperation-as engagement mechanisms of stakeholder's integration capacity-on eco-innovation intensity in firms. With this purpose, a mediation model is conducted, controlling by activity sector and firm's size. Results show that communication, as the first stakeholder engagement mechanism, has a positive effect on eco-innovation strategy and that communication is a step that comes before cooperation. Results show that cooperation with stakeholders also supports eco-innovation strategy development. It is therefore concluded that, when firms reach the greatest degree of stakeholder integration, through cooperation mechanisms, eco-innovation strategy is greater than when there is only communication. This study provides three types of contribution to the literature: First, the effects of two types of stakeholder engagement mechanisms, communication, and cooperation, on firm's eco-innovation strategy are separately analysed, as the interconnection between them. Second, the study proposes a novel way of measuring eco-innovation that enables us to consider different degrees of eco-innovative intensity based on a capital model that includes the accumulation of tangible and intangible assets derived from activities recently adopted by firms to reduce environmental impact. Third, this study provides empirical evidence to previous literature, generally case study-based, of the effect that the stakeholder integration process has on eco-innovation, through communication and cooperation mechanisms.

“…Few studies address the issue of patents (Carrijo & Botelho, 2013;Serrano & Gobbo Junior, 2014;Ribeiro & Porto, 2015). Relating OI to sustainability and environment was only found in the research study by Cunico et al (2017). Considering that concerns about the development of technologies oriented toward environmental sustainability, especially in the circular economy and sharing economy, has received the attention of many researchers (Jabbour et al, 2017;Plewnia & Guenther, 2018), this may be a trend for research into OI.…”

Systematic Review Creative Commons Attribution License 1. Introduction The last decades have challenged several firms to adopt new innovation models (Sikimic et al., 2016; Slater et al., 2014; Von Hippel, 1986). These challenges arise from companies in different parts of the world simultaneously searching for markets and new ways of organizing innovation; this creates opportunities to access new technologies, and novel supply possibilities and partnerships, not only with local companies, but also with firms in other countries. In this scenario, the Open Innovation (OI) concept as proposed by Chesbrough (2003) has been highlighted by practitioners and researchers (e.g., Laursen & Salter, 2006; Randhawa et al., 2016; Rubera et al., 2016) because of its potential to intensify the flow of internal and external knowledge in order to improve the innovation process. Due to recent changes in the business environment, reflected in the increasing speed of technological changes and shortened life cycle of products, it is difficult for companies to ensure their competitiveness through the unique and exclusive internal development of new technologies (D'Ambrosio et al., 2017). Therefore, many companies are developing more open ways to innovate what is also known as OI: a model in which companies more intensively use ideas and technologies developed inside and outside their borders in the innovation process (Chesbrough, 2012; Bogers et al., 2017). Furthermore, OI also tends to provide new sources of revenue for firms through actions such as inclusion in new markets and the prospects of spin-offs and trading licenses. These

“…(2) The hypothesis of "externality" of carbon mitigation tech-innovation will be further studied. Current studies generally assume that carbon emission reduction technological innovation is constrained by "double externalities", that is, it is difficult to recover both economic and environmental benefits of innovation, resulting in insufficient incentives (Horbach et al,2012;Cunico et al, 2017). However, the benefits of air quality and health are often neglected in the calculation of the benefits of carbon mitigation tech-innovation, so the benefits of carbon mitigation tech-innovation are underestimated.…”

tech-innovation(GT) related to improving the efficiency of fossil energy is stronger than that of clean technology(CT) related to the use of renewable energy. This suggests that for a large economy such as China, where coal is still the dominant source of energy consumption, the short-term local benefits of improving air quality and health through the use of grey tech-innovation to improve energy and industrial structure are still important to balance the cost of carbon mitigation.
