“…Third, following Wei et al (2022), we used social expectation as the marker variable which is proposed by Lindell and Whitney (2001) to identify the potential CMB. The results indicated that the significant correlations of focal variables were still verified after the marker variable was added (see Table 6).…”

Proactive environmental strategy (PES) is regarded as an effective tool to mitigate and root out the negative effects of an enterprise's development on the environment. Although institutional pressures have been viewed as major factors that can promote enterprises' PES, the results are still inconsistent. This mixed empirical result leads to a need to unpack the relationship between institutional pressures and PES, like the certain key mediating role of top managerial environment attitude. In addition, with the important role of new media in an enterprise's strategy, new media pressure plays a significant role in the PES field to induce enterprises to make a strategy change. Therefore, combining institutional theory and upper echelon theory, this paper explores the mediating roles of top managerial environment attitude between institutional pressures and PES, and the moderating roles of new media pressure, from a new media perspective. Our research model was tested by survey data from 345 top Chinese managers, and several results are established. First, the top managerial environment attitude significantly mediates the relationship between three institutional pressures and PES. Second, among the three institutional pressures, customer pressure is the most powerful one to influence the top managerial environment attitude toward PES. Third, new media pressure promotes and suppresses the positive effect between customer pressure, competitor pressure, and top managerial environment attitude. To promote the adoption of PES, it is important for top managers and governments to pay close attention to customer, regulatory, and competitor pressures, particularly when these pressures are amplified by new media.

“…Innovation implies a recombination of the different factors of production (Schumpeter and Backhaus, 2003). Based on the ambidexterity perspective, firm innovation can be divided into exploratory innovation and exploitative innovation (Ferreira et al, 2021;Wei et al, 2022;Srisathan et al, 2023). Exploratory innovation emphasizes the exploration of new knowledge and technologies to develop new products, services and markets, whereas exploitative innovation emphasizes the use of existing knowledge to improve existing technologies, products and processes (March, 1991;Liu et al, 2022;Nguyen, 2022).…”

PurposeTechnical knowledge is a key factor in firm innovation. This study aims to construct a theoretical framework of technological boundary-spanning search, exploratory innovation and exploitative innovation to help firms adjust their search strategies and improve the effect of external resources on internal innovation.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses questionnaires to collect data and conducts empirical analysis using SPSS25 and AMOS24.FindingsTechnological boundary-spanning search is positively correlated with ambidextrous innovation. Additionally, knowledge base positively moderates the effect of technological boundary-spanning search on ambidextrous innovation and knowledge distance negatively moderates the effect of technological boundary-spanning search on ambidextrous innovation. When a firm’s knowledge base is robust, its ambidextrous innovation can benefit more from technological boundary-spanning search. Additionally, when the knowledge distance is less, a firm’s ambidextrous innovation can benefit more from technological boundary-spanning search.Originality/valueConsidering organizational ambidexterity, this study divides firm innovation into exploratory innovation and exploitative innovation and presents a theoretical framework for the effect of technological boundary-spanning search on ambidextrous innovation. Additionally, it provides a comprehensive understanding of the crucial roles of knowledge base and knowledge distance in the relationship between technological boundary-spanning search and exploratory and exploitative innovation.

“…Strategically, product innovation enhances a company's market position by attracting and retaining customers. Technological advancements and increased sales resulting from innovative products contribute to a company's growth and competitive edge (Acevedo et al, 2023;Qinqin et al, 2023;Wei et al, 2022). Sales, being a key indicator of a company's performance, directly impacts profitability.…”

This research aims to assess the influence of product innovation on sales performance at CV. Dynamics of Cirebon Works. The study proposes two variables: product innovation as an independent variable and the number of sales as a dependent variable. Product innovation is defined as the process or outcome of enhancing the utility of an existing product and adding more meaningful value. Some sources also suggest that product innovation involves updating various products to provide greater benefits to consumers. The research methodology employed descriptive survey methods, utilizing interviews and questionnaires distributed to employees at CV. Dynamics of Cirebon Works for sampling. Hypothesis testing was conducted to establish the connection between product innovation and sales using the product-moment correlation, t-test formulas, determination coefficients, and simple regression analysis. The findings indicate a positive impact of product innovation, as evidenced by the strong agreement of 39.02%, agreement of 12.19%, hesitation of 9.75%, disagreement of 19.5%, and strongly disagreeing at 2.43%. Additionally, sales data processing reveals a positive trend, with a strong agreement of 79.4%, hesitation at 14.70%, and disagreement at 11.76%. Statistical analysis yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.697, indicating a robust correlation. The t-test resulted in a t-value of 4.655 with degrees of freedom (df) of 32 (34 – 2), and a critical t-value (t-table) of 3.942 at a significance level of 5%. Given that thitung>ttable (4.655>3.942), the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. This signifies a positive influence between product innovation and the number of sales. Consequently, the study concludes that product innovation significantly contributes to increased sales at CV. Dynamics of Cirebon Works.
