“…This is consistent with research in Korea by Oh and Rhee [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] which discovered that suppliers' flexibility, engineering and modularization capabilities had a positive influence on collaboration in new car development which, in turn, positively affects competitive advantage of carmakers. This was consistent with research in Turkey by Ar [30] which indicated that green product innovation has both a significant and positive effect on firm performance and competitive capability.…”

A structural equation model was used to verify both the direct and indirect influences on research and development and innovation capabilities that affect Thai automotive parts enterprises competitive advantage. Thailand’s automotive sector is a major driver of the economy with a multi-thousand network of both domestic and international companies contributing a significant amount to both domestic and Asian economic growth. After peaking in 2013 and reaching the Top 10 automotive nations, there has been a slide backwards. Competition is fierce and the pace of change ever quickening. Therefore, the researchers sought to determine how the automotive parts sector needed to improve in capability, skills and infrastructure to maintain a sustainable competitive advantage. From the structural equation model analysis of 220 regional automotive parts sector managers and use of AMOS software, it was determined that research and development combined with innovation plays key roles in the industry’s profitability and survivability. Additionally, there must be support across a wide sector of the economy, including universities, government agencies and institutions. Once championed as the ‘Detroit of Asia’, Thailand’s recognized success as a global automotive hub is a classic case of a well-executed industrial plan but that lead can potentially slip away without embracing new technologies and innovative thinking.

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between sustainability performance (SP) and financial performance (FP), based on performance disclosures (reporting) of the Jordanian financial sector for the period of 2017–2020. The study employs green innovation (GI) indicators as moderating and mediating variables; by using hierarchical regression; as means of unlocking and examining the relationship between SP and FP; through the lens of the stakeholder theory. The hierarchical regression findings suggest that GI indicators partially mediate the relationship between SP and FP, but do not demonstrate a moderating effect. As a main result, it is indicated that Jordanian financial institutions may use SP transparency indicators as an incentive variable, which could influence their overall FP. The research also contributes to the existing literature by adding insight into the use of GI indicators in a developing country and the potential impact on financial institutions markets. These findings lend empirical credence to the generally held belief that increase disclosure benefits for both internal and external users.

Green Innovation, Managerial Concern and Firm Performance: An Empirical Study

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Extant literature, while often suggesting a positive link between green innovation and firm performance, is inconclusive. Moreover, the possibly moderating role of management has not been sufficiently considered. Using a unique dataset sampling 188 manufacturing firms in China, we examine how managerial concern (for green issues) moderates the relationship between green innovation and firm performance. We find that green process innovation and green product innovation both significantly (positively) predict firm performance, when not considering managerial concern for the environment. Once managerial concern is included, we observe that it compounds the positive effect of green process innovation on firm performance -but not product innovation, which no longer explains significant unique variance in firm performance. The findings hold various implications for future research and business policy.
