“…Results indicated that government intervention may result in adverse effects on profits and social welfare. Besides, Droste et al [39] investigated institutional conditions facilitating the transition towards a green economy of government intervention. Madani and Rasti-Barzoki [40] considered the role of government and interactions between the government and supply chain members' decisions.…”

Channel Structure Strategies of Supply Chains with Varying Green Cost and Governmental Interventions

2019

Environmental concerns make enterprises pay more attention to green manufacturing. The emerging green supply chain inevitably will compete with the traditional supply chain. In order to evaluate the competitiveness of supply chains and the impact on channel structure strategy, we develop four game models for two competing supply chains according to their channel structure strategies. Green marginal manufacturing cost, demand sensitivity of green level, and governmental interventions are considered. We study how retail prices, green levels, and profits are influenced by channel structure choice and governmental interventions. Analytical results indicate that the substitutability of products affects channel structure strategy. When the substitutability of products is relatively low, centralization-centralization is the unique Nash equilibrium. However, when the substitutability of products is relatively high, both centralization-centralization and decentralization-decentralization are the Nash equilibriums. Centralization-centralization is a prisoner dilemma, while decentralization-decentralization can make the green supply chain achieve optimal profit. Then, the green marginal manufacturing cost and demand sensitivities of the green level play important but different roles in channel structure strategy of the competing supply chains. Further, whether Nash equilibriums are the optimal strategy depends on governmental intervention. Relatively severe governmental intervention might realize a relatively higher green level, but may not always achieve the lowest retail price for the green supply chain. However, a relatively moderate governmental intervention might achieve a relatively lower green level.

“…Green innovations are crucial components to support the transition to a green economy (Droste et al, ), allowing firms to respond to conflicting demands coming from several stakeholders. Earlier research supports the existence of three driving forces of green innovation development (Albino, Balice, Dangelico, & Iacobone, ; Chen, ; Doran & Ryan, ; Horbach, Rammer, & Rennings, ; Vachon & Klassen, ): (i) consumers increasing environmental awareness; (ii) stricter environmental regulations; and (iii) fierce competition among peers, suggesting the existence of a positive relationship between these factors and the green innovation performance (GIP) of firms.…”

Green absorptive capacity: A mediation‐moderation model of knowledge for innovation

2018

Supported by the dynamic capabilities literature, this study examines the linkages between environmental factors, organizational factors and green innovation performance in light of the moderating effect of green absorptive capacity. Based on a sample of 78 firms in the electric power industry in Brazil, a mediation‐moderation model is proposed and tested using partial least squares structural equation modelling, which allows the analysis of both direct and indirect relationships. The results yielded general support for the study hypotheses, suggesting that (i) environmental factors have both a direct and indirect positive effect on green innovation performance, (ii) organizational factors fully mediate the effect of environmental factors on green innovation performance, and (iii) green absorptive capacity has a positive moderating impact on the mediation model. These findings provide empirical evidence of a better understanding of the antecedents of green innovation performance by highlighting the role of green absorptive capacity.

“…According to Lindman, Söderholm (2016), the green economy policy discourse recognizes the importance of actively promoting investments in new technologies that can open up the energy sector from the incumbent and typically less sustainable technologies based on fossil fuels and other energy resources that are non-renewable. According to Droste et al (2016) any economic strategy will require investments, but the normative green economy vision needs both private and public investment to be steered towards greener and fairer strategies. It is therefore recognized that such investments have to be "supported by targeted public expenditure, policy reforms, and regulation changes" (UNEP, 2011, p. 16) which stresses the role of government intervention.…”

The implementation and the development of green technologies is an essential way to ensure the transition from traditional economy model to the green growth. The purpose of the article assessing the importance of green technologies development in the European Union and Lithuania, to identify the trends associated with the development of green technologies. To achieve the purpose statistical data analysis had been conducted. Green technologies development can be seen in the European Union and Lithuania in 2008-2017 year period. But it should be noted that there are huge differences in adoption of these technologies among the countries of the European Union. These differences can be explained by the lack of financial resources and governmental support, differences in installed green technologies or involvement in such activities.
