“…Our findings are in line with prior research works (Noci and Verganti 1999;Triebswetter and Wackerbauer 2008;Kammerer 2009;Lin et al 2013b;Triguero et al 2013), which found regulations to be a driver of product eco-innovation. Furthermore, numerous studies also found support for the claim that regulations motivate companies to adopt process eco-innovation (Cleff and Rennings 1999;Wagner 2009;Agan et al 2013;Lin et al 2013b) and spur organizational eco-innovation adoption .…”

“…Eco-innovations have become an area in which companies have an opportunity to gain a competitive advantage over competitors through differentiation of a firm product, especially when operating in a highly competitive market (Lin et al 2013a). Therefore, companies that operate in fiercely competitive markets are more likely to seek to be greener than their competitors (implementing new products or new management methods) to yield extra profits in future (Lin et al 2013b). Past research on competitive pressure found it to be an effective driver of eco-innovation practices as well (Li 2014).…”

“…Green innovation can be divided into different dimensions or types, among which green product innovation and green craft innovation are widely accepted [52][53][54][55]. Green product innovation refers to the green products that meet environmental requirements through design, development, and production throughout the life cycle of the product, thus reducing energy consumption and environmental pollution.…”

Environmental Regulation, Green Innovation, and Industrial Green Development: An Empirical Analysis Based on the Spatial Durbin Model

Environmental regulation and green innovation are two main fulcrums in the realization of green transition of industrial growth. However, few studies have done an empirical analysis of the impact of environmental regulation and green innovation on green development. Based on the theory of systematic interduality, regional industrial green development is regarded as a dynamic system composed of two subsystems: the state and the process subsystem. Using provincial industrial panel data from 2007-2015 and the spatial Durbin model under the unified analysis framework, this paper examines the role and mechanism of environmental regulation (divided into administrative environmental regulation, market-based environmental regulation, and public participation environmental regulation) in the impact of green innovation (divided into green product innovation and green craft innovation) on industrial green development. The results indicate a sharp fluctuating trend in China's overall industrial green development performance, and that China's 30 provinces can be divided into four categories, based on the development levels of two subsystems of industrial green development. There is a clear positive spatial correlation between the industrial green development performance in different provinces. Considering the impact of environmental regulation on industrial green development performance, different types of environmental regulation have different regional influences. Considering the impact of green innovation on industrial green development performance, in the absence of environmental regulation constraints, green product innovation shows a certain promotional role, and green craft innovation has a significant inhibitory effect. However, under environmental regulation constraints, market-based environmental regulation through the encouragement of green craft innovation rather than green product innovation achieves a positive impact on industrial green development.

The Influence of Green Supply Chain Integration on Firm Performance: A Contingency and Configuration Perspective

2017

This study investigates the impacts of three dimensions of green supply chain integration (GSCI) on operational and financial performance, from both a contingency and a configuration perspective. From the contingency perspective, we used hierarchical regression to determine the impacts of individual GSCI dimensions (green internal, customer and supplier integration) and their interactions on firm performance. From the configuration perspective, we used cluster analysis to develop patterns of GSCI, which were analyzed in terms of GSCI strength and balance. Analysis of variance was used to examine the relationship between GSCI pattern and firm performance. We used data collected from manufacturing firms in Shanxi, Shandong, Beijing, Guangdong and Jiangsu to test hypotheses. The findings from both the contingency and configuration perspective indicate that GSCI was related to both operational and financial performance. Furthermore, the interaction between green internal integration and green customer integration was positively related to both operational and financial performance, while the interaction between green internal integration and green supplier integration was negatively related to financial performance. The interaction between green customer integration and green supplier integration was positively related to financial performance.
