Green innovation ecosystem and water performance in the food service industry: The effects of environmental management controls and digitalization
基于创新生态系统和环境管理控制理论，研究绿色创新生态系统、环境管理控制和数字化对巴西大型餐馆水绩效的影响，发现绿色创新生态系统正向影响数字化和环境管理控制，交互式环境管理控制改善水绩效，技术感知/响应增强诊断式环境管理控制对水绩效的作用。
Abstract Based on the theory of innovation ecosystems (IEs) and the literature on environmental management controls (EMCs), this study examines the effects of green innovation ecosystems (GIEs), EMCs, and digitalization on the water performance of firms in the food service industry (FSI). In this context, the moderating role of technology sensing/response (TSR) is explored. Surveying 245 managers in large Brazilian restaurants, the hypotheses are tested through partial least squares structural equation modeling. The findings reveal that the GIE positively influences digitalization and the use of both diagnostic and interactive EMCs. Additionally, the results demonstrate not only that interactive EMCs improve water performance but also that a high level of TSR increases the impact of diagnostic EMCs on water performance. This study therefore advances the literature by illustrating how cooperation between FSI firms and multiagents provides competences and resources that facilitate the implementation of digital tools and EMCs to achieve sustainability outcomes.
