“…As developing countries typically lag behind developed countries in environmental protection and preservation (Shu et al, 2016), EMFs face negative perceptions and unfavorable stereotypes that often portray them as environmentally unfriendly and seekers of pollution havens (Du, 2015). Powered by green technologies and patents, EMFs can develop green products, use green packaging, embrace green production, and employ end-of-pipe pollution-processing methods (Wang et al, 2022). By using these green practices, EMFs should be able to mitigate unfavorable perceptions, reverse unfriendly stereotypes, and satisfy environmental laws and regulations in host countries.…”

Whereas emerging market firms (EMFs) face severe legitimacy barriers when entering global markets, whether and under what conditions green innovation can help them gain legitimacy remains under-examined. This article argues that green innovation can help EMFs obtain regulatory and social legitimacy in host countries and consequently boost their exports. Based on a panel dataset populated by 254 Chinese-listed manufacturing companies from 2011 through 2017, this article finds that green innovation is positively associated with EMF export performance. Moreover, this positive relationship is stronger when host-country political risk is lower or host-country buyer sophistication is higher but becomes weaker for state-owned EMFs. These findings enrich the legitimacy-based view and international business literature by identifying the role of green innovation in boosting EMF export performance and specifying important institutional contingencies.

“…For effective recovery of value from the wastes, the clothes thrown away as the wastes have to be properly collected. Reverse supply chain plays a crucial role in ensuring sequential flow of waste materials into the recycling facility [40]. However, in most cases, the waste materials are not properly collected and supplied to the fashion industry interested in green clothing.…”

The fashion industry, during production and post-consumption, has major adverse environmental impacts. With the recent circular economy (CE) practices initiative, discarded fashion materials are reused to recover value from the waste. However, the CE practices initiative have not been well-received by society. The role of CE practices is very crucial in fashion industry as it helps in lowering the environmental burden caused by the discarded fashion materials, which in turn help to achieve the sustainable development goals (SDG). This study aims to collect and evaluate the challenges restricting the preference for CE practices initiative in Indian fashion industry. Based on literature review and inputs from the fashion industry experts, the study identified twenty-one challenges, in seven categories (Industrial management, Labour, Material, Regulations, Knowledge, Collaboration, and Infrastructure). An integrated multi-criteria decisionmaking (MCDM) approach comprising fuzzy Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory Model (DEMATEL), Analytical Network Process (ANP), and Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is used to evaluate the challenges. The outcome of the study identifies costly raw materials, absence of certifications, problem in collection and separation, weak technical know-how, and absence of shared vision as the top five challenges to CE practices in Indian fashion industry. Further, the revelation of the causal interrelationship among the challenges helps the industrial management in taking appropriate steps to avert the challenges.INDEX TERMS Circular economy (CE), fashion industry, fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory model (FDEMATEL), India.

“…Business model innovation includes not only the innovation of value attributes such as the enterprise's own products and customers (Wang et al , 2022), but also the innovation of the relationship between the enterprise and external stakeholders by innovating how transactions and distributions are done (Cheng and Wang, 2022). Since 2005, the concept of “value” has gradually been incorporated into the theoretical category of business models and value positioning, value creation, value networks, value transmission and value realization (Wang and Dong, 2012; Galindo et al , 2020).…”

Purpose Family farms are seen as a powerful force for rural development, and they are gaining more and more research attention. This study aims to explore the relationship between the social networks of family farms and the dual innovation of the family farm business model from the perspective of entrepreneurial orientation. Design/methodology/approach Using a questionnaire survey of 169 family farms in Qingdao, China, descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data collected. The study hypothesis was tested using inferential tests (regression analysis). Findings The study results show that innovative, efficiency- and novelty-based business models facilitated by social networks have a favorable and significant impact on the performance of family farms. Furthermore, the relationship between social networks and new business model creation is positively influenced by an entrepreneurial orientation. Originality/value This study is distinctive in that it examines the mechanisms underlying family farm growth from an entrepreneurial standpoint, classifying family farm social networks for the first time into social, market and governmental categories and looking at their impact on the creation of new business models. In addition, it looks into the relationship between the innovation and social network aspect of the family farm business model from an entrepreneurial perspective, offering fresh insight into this connection. It also examines the family farm business model’s connection to innovation and social networks from an entrepreneurial standpoint, providing new insight into this relationship.
