Green innovation in emerging economies: The role of managerial ties and market learning
基于283家中国企业的调查数据，研究了管理商业关系和政治关系如何分别驱动绿色产品和流程创新，并发现探索性和利用性市场学习能强化这些关系对绿色创新的积极影响。
Abstract This study adopts the social capital and organizational learning perspectives to examine (i) how managerial business and political ties drive green product and process innovation, respectively, and (ii) the roles that explorative and exploitative market learning play in moderating the effects of managerial business and political ties on green product and process innovation. Findings from a survey of 283 Chinese firms show that managerial business and political ties distinctively drive green product and process innovation. Explorative and exploitative market learning strengthens the positive effects of managerial business and political ties on green product and process innovation for sustainable development. These findings advance the green innovation literature by clarifying how firms convert top‐level managers' network ties and market‐learning capabilities to strengthen corporate green innovation practices .
