“…29-30] To successfully meet these added responsibilities, IS departments must influence organisational environmental initiatives and transformations (Elliot, 2011). They must also incorporate environmental sustainability considerations in the IS infrastructure and practices (Melville, 2010;Watson et al, 2010;Melville & Whisnant, 2014), develop IS innovations that provide environmental benefits (Watson et al, 2012;Venable et al, 2011) and accumulate green IS capital (Chuang & Huang, 2015). Reviews of the literature reveal that there is a lack of understanding of how such capability can be nurtured and developed and of what variables influence the process (Elliot, 2011;Malhotra et al, 2013).…”

The potential of information systems (IS) to enable environmental sustainability necessitates an understanding of how organisations can realise this potential. In this study, building on the absorptive capacity theory and following a multi-disciplinary and multi-method approach, we propose that developing IS-environmental absorptive capacity is a significant mechanism to deliver IS-enabled change that addresses environmental issues. We commenced with a literature review and exploratory interviews to define the IS-environmental absorptive capacity construct. We then developed a model that proposes that sustainable IS triggers, knowledge exposure and prior experience influence IS-environmental absorptive capacity, which in turn contributes to the level of environmentally sustainable IS assimilation as well as to the cost saving, operational performance and reputation of organisations. The model was first tested through an international survey of 148 senior IS managers. The findings support our model regarding the antecedents and value of IS-environmental absorptive capacity. A follow-up case study corroborated the survey results and provided additional insights into the nature and causes of IS-environmental absorptive capacity and its value. This study, in addition to presenting empirical evidence, defines and operationalises the IS-environmental absorptive capacity construct in a theoretically and operationally meaningful way.

“…It is a positive effect on corporate success (b = 0.21, p < 0.10). In existing literature, business competitiveness is a significant outcome of successful activity-based costing implementation and it refers to an ability of firms to make a business difficult to be replaced by competitors (Chuang and Huang 2015). It comprises of maximizing revenue thru differentiation, minimizing cost thru efficiencies, and focusing on a niche market (Uy 2014).…”

“…Four-item scale was initiated to evaluate how firms create a challenging work within innovative environments, provide opportunities for organizational members to develop their potentiality and productivity and increase their organizational effectiveness relating to their goals and objectives. Lastly, business competitiveness is an ability of firms to make a business difficult to be replaced by competitors (Chuang and Huang 2015). Fouritem scale was introduced to measure how firms provide long-term orientation of performance, controllability of various resources and capabilities links to external conditions, relativity of competencies to industrial measures, and dynamic transformation of competitive potentials through the competitive process into outcomes.…”

It critically leads to financial performances, namely cost reduction, full control and ongoing performance and financial benefits and non-financial performances including enhanced employee productivity and operational efficiency. Firms with effective activity-based costing implementation tend to manage their resources, assets, competencies, and capabilities successfully, provide accurate cost information efficiently and reduce non-valuable costs and expenses excellently (Maiga 2014). They have attempted to use activity-based costing in doing businesses and operations for obtaining their outcomes. Thus, activity-based costing is important and it is proposed to drive, explain and create firms' success in the current and future aspects and in the long-term perspectives. Here, activity-based costing tends to influence organizational development, business Abstract. This study aims at investigating the relationships among activity-based costing, organizational development, business competitiveness, and corporate success of canned and processed foods businesses in Thailand. In this study, 142 canned and processed foods businesses in Thailand are the samples of the study. Structural equation model (SEM) was employed to test the research relationships. The research results indicate that activity-based costing positively leads to organizational development and business competitiveness. Also, organizational development positively relates to business competitiveness and corporate success while business competitiveness positively affects corporate success. In summary, activity-based costing plays a significant role in determining, driving and explaining firm outcomes. Accordingly, firms need to pay attention to the development and utilization of activity-based costing through the provision of competencies, capabilities, resources, and assets to its implementation. To verify the current study, future research may need to search for activity-based costing's dimensions and components, collect data from different populations and countries and apply regression analysis, partial least squared and path analysis to prove the relationships.

The findings highlight the differences between inward and outward capabilities in Taiwanese service and manufacturing industries. The purpose of this study is to develop an original framework to explore the effects of both outward and inward capabilities on competitive advantage with green service or green product innovation performance as a mediator. In this study, environmental scanning is considered the outward capability and the locus of planning is considered the inward capability. In total, 202 and 161 valid questionnaires were returned from service and manufacturing companies, respectively. In the service industry, if companies would like to increase their green service innovation performance, they should enhance both environmental scanning capability and locus of planning. But in manufacturing industry, if companies would like to increase their green product innovation performance, they should only enhance environmental scanning capability. By addressing the constructs, this study presents a novel perspective on green innovation.
