“…Islamabad is the capital of the country; hence, it signifies a higher degree of economic growth in Pakistan, whereas Peshawar is in the northwest of the country, indicating an average level of economic growth. By choosing samples from diverse geographical areas, the possible effect of regional biases was reduced [23]. Islamabad and Peshawar are the capital cities of Punjab and KP, and they were chosen based on their significance and geographical proximity.…”

“…A firm adapting second-order social capital based on social exchange theory might have access to resources and knowledge beyond its social network. If the resources and information are acquired from customers it is meant to be second-order social capital from customers, whereas if the resources and information are acquired from suppliers it is meant to be second-order social capital from suppliers [23].…”

“…Sustainable innovation is also found to be accountable for positively influencing the firm's financial, social, and environmental performance; furthermore, it is also useful in solving environmental issues [27]. Nevertheless, only a handful of firms are equipped with the comprehensive knowledge and resources to boost sustainable innovation [23]. Companies are needed to hit the correct symmetry between exploration and exploitation to conquer the ambiguity linked with the utilization of exploration practices and the overdependence on the utilization of obsolete practices linked to exploitation separately [28].…”

This research contributes to the developing literature on CSR, second-order social capital, and sustainable innovation ambidexterity by (1) offering a complete theoretical framework grounded on related theories by clarifying the associations between the four components of CSR proposed by Carroll, because this model suggests a company to be a responsible member of the society by following the required laws while generating profits and conducting philanthropic initiatives, SSC, and sustainable innovation ambidexterity, and (2) testing this framework in a new setting and with a new target population. This study focuses on the top-level management of different manufacturing companies located in Pakistan. A total of 34 manufacturing industries were selected using a cluster sampling technique based on their proximity in the selected cluster. Geographical location and industry type were selected as the criteria to group the industries in clusters. The data collected from 220 top and middle-level managers were analyzed using a partial least square method while the moderation analysis was conducted by using variance analysis. According to the findings of this study, economic, ethical, legal, and philanthropical responsibilities of CSR were all found to have a positive influence on second-order social capital. The economic, ethical, and legal responsibility of CSR did not influence sustainable innovation ambidexterity, whereas the philanthropical responsibility of CSR was found to have a positive influence on sustainable innovation ambidexterity. The findings of this research study will allow the managers to identify the right mix of CSR initiatives required to manage SSC and sustainable innovation exploitation and exploration techniques.

“…Control variables are used to control the impact of the NEV enterprises' own characteristics on their innovation. With reference to existing literature, this study controls the following five variables: (1) enterprise age (Age): the age of the enterprise is related to managerial efficiency and may affect the enterprise's ability to innovate [29,30]. (2) Enterprise scale (Size): large enterprises can withstand stronger innovation risks and reduce innovation costs through scale effects [31].…”

Entering the promotion catalogue is the basis for China’s new energy vehicle (NEV) enterprises to obtain promotion subsidies. Using a multistage difference-in-differences (DID) model with a sample of listed NEV enterprises in China from 2008 to 2017, this paper empirically analyzes the impact of entering the promotion catalogue on the innovation of NEV enterprises. The results indicate that entering the promotion catalogue can significantly promote innovation of NEV enterprises from the perspective of radical innovation, incremental innovation, and external technology introduction of NEV enterprises. In the mediation mechanism examination, this study finds that entering the promotion catalogue promotes innovation in NEV enterprises by increasing corporate profits and easing financing constraints. Based on the conclusions above, this paper recommends to strengthen core technology breakthrough of NEVs, cultivate market demand of NEVs industry, and improve subsidy supervision system of NEVs.

Radical green innovation is the necessary way for countries and firms to achieve sustainable development. Although the influencing factors of green innovation have attracted extensive attention, there is little research on the antecedents of radical green innovation. Drawing on organizational learning theory and attention‐based view, this study proposes R‐I ratio to measure the configuration of exploratory green learning and exploitative green learning, then analyzes the relationships among green transformational leadership, R‐I ratio and radical green innovation, and examines the moderating effects of green R&D investment and environmental regulatory pressure. Based on a sample of 243 manufacturing firms in China's strategic emerging industries, the empirical results reveal that green transformational leadership promotes R‐I ratio, and R‐I ratio has inverted U‐shaped relationship with radical green innovation. The results also find that green R&D investment plays U‐shaped moderating role in the relationship between green transformational leadership and R‐I ratio, and environmental regulatory pressure positively moderates the relationship between green transformational leadership and R‐I ratio. The study not only reveals the relationships of green transformational leadership, organizational green learning and radical green innovation, but also provides theoretical guidance and management practice for manufacturing firms and government to promote radical green innovation.
