“…The transformation from a traditional firm to a digital one is a complex (Xie et al, 2023), crosscutting process that is not only about improving technology and business processes but also requires recognizing its potential benefits from a strategic perspective (Bharadwaj et al, 2013;Lenka et al, 2017). The core goal for firms implementing a digital strategy is to obtain a competitive advantage, which requires creating value together with various stakeholders.…”

PurposeThis study aims to clarify why and when digital business strategy (DBS) helps manufacturing firms generate value co-creation (VC) with different stakeholders in the digital context of China. This study considers external network capability (ENC) and internal network capability (INC) as mediation mechanism, and strategic flexibility (SF) as theoretical boundary.Design/methodology/approachQuestionnaires were used and filled out by executives from manufacturing firms. The manufacturing samples from 289 different fields in China were used for hypothesis testing, and the structural equation model was the main analytical method.FindingsThis study found that DBS of manufacturing enterprises has a positive impact on VC. Specifically, DBS affects firm-partner VC and firm-consumer VC through the indirect positive effect of ENC, and affects firm-employee VC through INV. The positive effects of ENC on firm-partner VC and firm-consumer VC, as well as INC on firm-employee VC, are weak at high (or low) SF, and are strongest at moderate SF.Practical implicationsThis study provides manufacturing firms with practical insights into why and when they can implement DBS to generate VC, with a particular emphasis on the weighted role of SF.Originality/valueThis study spotlights gaps in the literature on why and when manufacturing firms can reap the benefits of DBS, focusing on one important business outcome – VC. The authors clarify the mediating role of differences in ENC and INC, as well as the inverted U-shaped moderating role of SF.

“…Big data, as digital innovation technology, can assist in identifying supply chain risks [28], supporting enterprises in a complex and volatile environment [29], and identifying and mitigating social problems in the supply chain [30]. The improvement of digital capabilities can help enterprises improve their R&D capabilities, enhance environmental performance, and strengthen the stability of supply chain systems under challenging circumstances [31][32][33]. From a game theory perspective, re-search has concentrated on the influence of the target advertising and marketing brought by big data on supply chain participants' decision making, profits, and environmental advantages [34][35][36].…”

In light of increasingly prominent environmental issues, inspiring green supply chain (GSC) members to engage in collaborative innovation is crucial to improve environmental performance. In this paper, in relation to a two-level GSC consisting of manufacturers and suppliers, differential equations involving the greenness of intermediate and final products as state variables are constructed considering the effect of digital capability on green innovation. Subsequently, designs for three incentive mechanisms—the greenness reward, the R&D effort reward, and the digital construction reward—are presented, and their long-term dynamic effects on the economic, environmental, and social benefits are compared and analyzed. Finally, the impacts of consumer green preference and the contribution of digital capability to the advancement of green innovation are explored. The findings show that all these incentives can boost economic, environmental, and social benefits while motivating the supplier. To achieve the best incentive effect, the reward coefficient should fall within a specific range. The digital construction reward mechanism is the most favourable in the initial stage, while the R&D effort reward mechanism is the most appropriate in the long term. The promotion effects of digital capability on green innovation and consumer green preference have the potential to enhance economic, environmental, and social performance.

“…Mohr (2002) argues that environmental regulations may be particularly beneficial in developing countries, where the empirical evidence for the Porter Hypothesis may be the strongest. China, as the largest developing country and with dual carbon as a national policy in recent years, has introduced many environmental regulations (Xie et al ., 2023). Therefore, exploring the environmental impact of technological innovation in the Chinese context can provide strong evidence for testing the Porter Hypothesis.…”

PurposeThis study empirically investigates the impacts of technological innovation and operational efficiency on environmental performance and the moderating effects of environmental orientation.Design/methodology/approachWe develop a conceptual framework based on the Porter Hypothesis. We collect a sample of 850 listed firms in China between 2010 and 2019. The fixed effect model was used to analyse the data.FindingsThe empirical findings reveal that technological innovation indirectly enhances environmental performance through operational efficiency and partially mediates this impact. We also find that environmental orientation strengthens the positive impacts of technological innovation and operational efficiency on environmental performance.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature by revealing that technological innovation is positively associated with operational efficiency and environmental performance, which suggests that technological innovation can simultaneously enhance business and environmental performance. Hence, this study provides empirical support for the Porter Hypothesis. The results also extend the Porter Hypothesis by revealing how technological innovation affects environmental performance and under what conditions technological innovation has a greater impact on environmental performance.
