Structured Questionnaire

Although many companies have recognized the concepts of environmental innovation, little research attention has been devoted to the consideration of relations between green product innovation and firm performance. This study aimed to investigate the impact of green product innovation on firms’ performance. A structured questionnaire was developed for the purpose of data collection, and 19 Saudi chemical firms were included. The data from each of the returned questionnaire were coded and entered into (SPSS) version 18.0 software, simple linear regression which was used for statistical analysis. Response rate was 89.4%. The results show that that green product innovation has a statistically significant impact on firms’ performance (calculated F was 91.7); with statistically significant at p < 0.00. These results can help companies involved in manufacturing green products to create a new environment and enhance their business performance.

Corporate Social

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop an original framework to explore corporate social responsibility (CSR) plays a mediation role between green organizational culture and green product innovation performance. Design/methodology/approach – This study divides CSR into proactive CSR and reactive CSR. This research employs an empirical study by means of the questionnaire survey method to verify the hypotheses and to explore its managerial implications in Taiwanese manufacturing companies. Structural equation modeling is applied to verify the research framework. Findings – The empirical results verify that green organizational culture positively affects proactive CSR and green product innovation performance. This study shows that proactive CSR mediates the positive relationship between green organizational culture and green product innovation performance, but reactive CSR does not. Green organizational culture is a driving force for proactive CSR and green product innovation performance. Organizational members in Taiwanese companies are exposed to green organizational culture which influences CSR activities. Moreover, this study verifies that proactive CSR of large companies are significantly higher than those of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Research limitations/implications – There are three limitations of this study. First, this study verifies the hypotheses by means of questionnaire survey which only includes cross-sectional data. Second, this study utilize self-reported data may suffer the problems of common method variance. Third, this study applies a “five-point Likert scale” ranging from 1 to 5 to measure the constructs. Future research can apply a “seven-point Likert scale” to measure the constructs and compare with this study to test the significance of the variability of the data. There are two implications emerging from the study. First, proactive CSR has a positive effect on green product innovation performance, but reactive CSR does not. Second, green organizational culture is a driving force for proactive CSR and green product innovation performance. Originality/value – This study summarizes the literature of CSR into a new managerial framework and highlights the importance of proactive CSR. Therefore, green organizational culture cannot only affect green product innovation performance directly, but also influence it indirectly via proactive CSR in the Taiwanese manufacturing industry. Taiwanese manufacturing companies can increase their green organizational culture and proactive CSR to enhance their green product innovation performance. This study also explores that proactive CSR of large companies are significantly higher than those of SME.

The Relationship

Based on the perspective of multidimensional proximity, this paper examined the relationships between cognitive and social proximities with key customers and green product innovation performance via the mediation of green value co-creation by using data from 211 fine chemical small and medium-sized enterprises in clusters in China. Moderating effects of geographical distance and green project duration were assessed to further explore the relationship. The results revealed that social and cognitive proximities can promote green co-production and enhance green product innovation performance. Moreover, the relationship between social proximity and green co-production is hindered when customers are geographically distant or short duration partners of green projects. Eventually, this study was quite different from previous research by relating proximities to green value co-creation and green innovation performance in the context of small and medium-sized enterprises in emerging markets. The study provides a research framework for related research on green innovation.
