“…The findings of this research are consistent with previous inquiries of cities and the impact of renewable energy, energy management, and energy efficiency (Alibašić, 2015(Alibašić, & 2017bBossink, 2017;Hughes, 2009, Houck & Rickerson 2009Lin & Huang, 2009). Furthermore, findings document a correlation between the successful implementation of sustainable energy management and leadership.…”

“…The literature review reveals an abundance of books, and peer-review journal articles using varying lenses focusing on sustainability (Akinsete and Nelson, 2017;Alibašić, 2017aAlibašić, & 2018bCollin and Collin, 2010;Cohen, 2011;Coyle, 2011;Doppelt, 2010;Girardet, 2006;Portney and Berry, 2010;Portney, 2013;Slavin, 2011;Tumlin, 2012). Moreover, number of research, writings, and studies provide a review of varying aspects of energy efficiency and renewable energy efforts, including programs and policies (Alibašić, 2017b;Anderson, Kanaroglou, and Miller, 1996;Bossink, 2017;Born et al 2001;Brownsword et al, 2004;Burch, 2010;Cheung et al, 2016;Cumo et al, 2012;Droege, 2006;Friedman & Cooke, 2011;Kim, Han, and Na, 2006;Lin & Huang, 2009;Madlener & Sunak, 2011;Mathiesen, Lund, and Karlsson, 2010;Vanderburg, 2006). However, a lack of specific research on the role of leadership in sustainable energy programs, plans, projects and policies, and in embedding sustainable energy to increase organizational efficiency is evident.…”

Efficient strategies to embedding sustainability in an organization are frequently linked to effective leadership. By design, changes in direction within an organization may lead to alterations in commitment or perceived significance of sustainability in organizations. While some organizational leaders are interested in embedding sustainability within a structure, other leaders believe in leaving the legacy behind and permanently influencing sustainability efforts. To confirm or dispel the underscored notion of the importance of leadership in embedding sustainability in organizations, a qualitative methodology approach to interviews, document analyses, and literature review is utilized. The research inquiry includes in-person interviews with top city staff and elected officials in a large Midwestern city and a review of the internal documents and reports. The end goal of the research is an examination of the role both elected and appointed officials have in embedding sustainabil ity within cities, and whether a change in leadership may have an impact on continuity of sustainability implementation and long-term viability of such policies. The paper focuses on the application of sustainable energy policies within a local government organizational structure as a mean of constructing a better understanding of leadership on sustainability implementation and embedment. While the further inquiry is needed, the research points out that an active partnership between city managers, administrators, and elected officials must be in place to support integrating sustainability from within and that sustainability thrives where exhaustive leadership support such initiatives and efforts.

“…For example, after developing earlier prototypes of the technological products, the studied companies started demonstration projects to improve their technologies and prove the performance of their technology‐based products and services in the market. In two systematic review studies of clean and environmentally sustainable demonstration projects over the past 40 years, Bossink (, ) argues that the demonstration project is an effective organizational routine to transform an environmentally sustainable prototype into a marketable product. Yet he also concludes that it is still a question to be asked and answered when and how these demonstrations contribute to the product's market acceptance.…”

Microfoundations of companies' dynamic capabilities for environmentally sustainable innovation: Case study insights from high‐tech innovation in science‐based companies

2018

To achieve sustainable development, companies are increasingly putting an emphasis on the creation and the promotion of environmentally sustainable innovations. Environmentally sustainable innovation often involves a significant shift in a new strategic direction.This paper studies this shift from a dynamic capabilities perspective and aims to identify the microfoundations of science-based companies' dynamic capabilities for high-tech environmentally sustainable innovations. It investigates the development of high-tech environmentally sustainable innovations in two distinctive science-based companies.To scholars, this study provides an in-depth process analysis, over time, of how and why microfoundations of dynamic capabilities influence the development of a sciencebased company's high-tech environmentally sustainable innovations. To practitioners in science-based firms, this process study can function as a frame of reference, enabling the tailoring of a strategy for high-tech environmentally sustainable innovation.

Application of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to Solve Environmental Sustainability Problems: A Comprehensive Review and Meta-Analysis

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Most methodological areas assume common serious reflections to certify difficult study and publication practices, and, therefore, approval in their area. Interestingly, relatively little attention has been paid to reviewing the application of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in environmental sustainability problems despite the growing number of publications in the past two decades. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to fill this gap by conducting a wide search in two main databases including Web of Science and Scopus to identify the studies which used SEM techniques in the period from 2005 to 2016. A critical analysis of these articles addresses some important key issues. On the basis of our results, we present comprehensive guidelines to help researchers avoid general pitfalls in using SEM. The results of this review are important and will help researchers to better develop research models based on SEM in the area of environmental sustainability.
