Green Synergy: The Impact of Knowledge Sharing, Green Dynamic Capabilities, and Business Model Innovation on Green Innovation in Manufacturing Enterprises
Abstract
More and more enterprises are turning their attention to green innovation (GI), and business leaders have realized that it's a crucial tool to address the aforementioned environmental issues. While current literature has investigated green innovation from the perspectives of environmental taxes environmental regulations, environmental equity, trading green credit, few studies have explored the effects of business model innovation on green innovation in the context of government pressure and under conditions of uncertainty. Based on theories such as the resource-based view and dynamic capabilities, this research presents a novel framework for investigating how green knowledge sharing (GKS), and green dynamic capabilities (GDC) business model innovation (MBI) affect green innovation (GI). Data consisted 482 respondents from Chinese manufacturing industries, and seven substantial hypotheses were verified regarding the direct, mediating effect of targeted variables in confounding ways using partial least squares structural equation modeling. The finding shows that both green knowledge sharing green dynamic capabilities and business model innovation have significant and positive impacts on and green innovation. Furthermore, the influence of business model innovation on green innovation under government encouragement is crucial, which is an aspect has been less explored in existing literature. This research validated the study hypotheses, further confirming the connections between green knowledge sharing, green dynamic capabilities, business model innovation, and green innovation. Overall, this study offers robust theoretical support and empirical evidence to comprehend and drive the development of green innovation in Chinese manufacturing enterprises.
