“…The research primarily follows the typology of innovations proposed in the Oslo Manual, although some variants and extensions have been added [43][44][45]. The Oslo Manual defines innovation as "the implementation of a new or significantly improved product (good or service), or process, a new marketing method, or a new organisational method in business practices, workplace organisation, or external relations" [46] (p. 9).…”

Abstract:The recent global increase in the competitiveness of tourism has made the implementation of eco-innovations a differentiating element among both the destinations and companies in the sector, with quality management and contribution to sustainable development being increasingly valued. However, the eco-innovations that have been developed and implemented in tourist industries have rarely been studied. In this study, the eco-innovations that have been developed and implemented by 57 tourism businesses worldwide are analysed. The identified eco-innovations are classified by using different qualitative methodologies. The obtained results shed light on the limited development of eco-innovations in the tourism industry and the industry focuses mainly on product eco-innovations. Several examples by the tourist sub-industry and types of eco-innovation are analysed. Furthermore, this study provides practical information about measures that both businesses and governmental organisations can adopt to promote eco-innovation in the sector.

“…Technological innovation and industrial structure were also important factors that affected industrial greening. In addition, scholars noted that strengthening the cooperation of global green industrial management, increasing government financial support, promoting renewable energy and upgrading industrial structure are key factors influencing the industrial green transition [26,27].…”

Nowadays, with the green economy becoming mainstream in the world, an industrial revolution as the core of green development has emerged. Based on the empirical evidence from China's 30 provinces, this study establishes an evaluation index system of China's industrial green development and applies the analytic hierarchy process to determine the indices' weights and properties to measure the level of industrial green development in China's 30 provinces. Then, an empirical study is conducted to explore the relevant factors influencing China's industrial green development by using the dynamic panel data model and a panel threshold test. The results show that China's level of industrial green development has the characteristic of typical regional differentiation with a ladder-like distribution from the east and middle to the west, and the eastern region has the highest level on industrial green output, industrial green efficiency and industrial green innovation. Technological progress and innovation can stimulate industrial green development. The impact of environmental regulation and foreign investment on industrial green development presents a nonlinear "N"-type trend, and the positive effects are mainly observed in eastern China. Capital deepening, heavy chemical industries and an unreasonable energy structure are not effective in industrial green development. There is no direct relation between the enterprise scale and industrial green development.

“…Compared to other, non-environmentally related innovations, regulations and cost-savings are more important for eco-innovations. But, mainly because of the lack of adequate data the literature neglected regional characteristics as determinants of ecoinnovations (see Cainelli et al 2011 as an exception). At the latest since the seminal works of Krugman (1991) the relevance of spatial characteristics for innovation activities has been recognized.…”
