“…The theory of technological change underscores the influence of technological progress and innovation on organizations and industries (Keary, 2023). Technological evolution transforms products and services' characteristics and reshapes business models, production processes, and modes of communication both within and outside organizations.…”

This study examines the impact of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) on Chinese enterprises. 320 participants completed electronic surveys, revealing a positive relationship between GAI and corporate performance. Managerial relationships were found to play a crucial role, mediating the influence of GAI on performance. Additionally, the speed of technological change in the industry was identified as a moderator, highlighting the dynamic nature of GAI's impact on managerial relationships and firm performance. These findings underscore the strategic importance of GAI in cultivating managerial relationships and improving enterprise performance, deepening our understanding of the integration of advanced AI technologies and management practices in the Chinese market. Practical implications are offered for decision-makers in technology-intensive industries, providing valuable insights for leveraging GAI to gain a competitive edge and achieve sustainable growth in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.

“…In ecologism, technological change is adjacent to the environment (now a core concept) and is decontested as a destructive, ideologically driven process of power-seeking and acquisitiveness. Though some ecologism scholars see technological change as endogenous, it has generally been decontested as at least partially exogenous, with stress placed on its unreliability (Barry, 2017; Keary, 2023). This morphology is stable because, as a critical theory, ecologism is suspicious of the products of mainstream policymaking.…”

Little consideration has been given to the process of technological change in political theory. Given that ideas about this process play an important role in many strands of normative political thought, and are especially crucial to climate change politics, this is a remarkable oversight. It risks political theory being irrelevant to climate change mitigation. The implications of this oversight for political theory are explored here through an analysis of the liberalism-ecologism debate. The article argues that attempts to green liberalism – to move it beyond environmentalism – cannot succeed while liberalism is silent about technological change. More broadly, given that most political theory traditions make claims about technological change, claims crucial to their worldviews and normative goals, it argues that much more theorisation of the concept is necessary. Especially now that they shape how the world understands climate change mitigation, contests over the meaning of technological change are intensely political contests. Political theory needs to get much more involved.

“…Therefore, TC refers to the innovation of technology in the production process or the introduction of new products, allowing for greater output from the same quantity of input factors (Dosi & Nelson, 2010). Keary (2023) demonstrated that relying on TC to enhance industrial green total factor productivity is crucial for achieving green transformation, especially when the marginal benefits of traditional factor inputs sharply decline.…”

Industry upgrading and structure transformation are important methods for the green and sustainable development. This paper utilizes urban panel data from China spanning the years 2009–2022 to investigate the impact of manufacturing and producer services collaborative agglomeration on green economy efficiency. Additionally, it examines the mediating effect of three modes of technical change: domestic technological stock, international technology transfer, and innovation absorptive capacity. The key findings are summarized as follows: (1) The impact of Industrial collaborative agglomeration (ICA) on green economy efficiency follows a U‐shaped curve relationship, when the degree of ICA is below the inflection point (1.4022), it negatively affects green economy efficiency. However, when the degree surpasses that point, it demonstrates a positive impact. (2) Domestic technological stock and international technology transfer act as mediating variables between ICA and green economy efficiency. Advancements in domestic technology innovation and increased international technology transfer contribute to a positive effect of ICA on green economic efficiency.
