Abstract

Developing the pathways that lead to sustainable innovation in SMEs represents an important aspect of the business world and society. The aim of this chapter is to verify the relations and pathways that lead to sustainable product innovation performance while considering all three pillars of the triple bottom line approach. This study proposed a mixed methods approach to identify the antecedents of sustainable product innovation performance. The model was used to measure the effects of the three pillars of the triple bottom line: economic, social, and environmental developments. The model was also designed to account for the firm's type (public limited companies vs. general partnerships). The authors determined whether a firm's type moderates the effects of the three pillars. They identified alternative configurations of conditions and determined those that are likely to lead to sustainable product innovation performance. The findings show that social and environmental developments are two important antecedents for product innovation performance, and they contribute to different pathways.

三重底线对可持续产品创新的影响

发展中小企业可持续创新的途径是商业世界和社会的一个重要方面。本章的目的是在考虑三重底线方法的所有三个支柱的同时，验证导致可持续产品创新绩效的关系和途径。本研究提出了一种混合方法来识别可持续产品创新绩效的前因。该模型用于衡量三重底线的三个支柱:经济、社会和环境发展的影响。该模型还考虑了公司的类型(公众有限公司与普通合伙企业)。作者确定了公司类型是否会调节这三个支柱的影响。他们确定了条件的替代配置，并确定了那些可能导致可持续产品创新绩效的配置。研究结果表明，社会发展和环境发展是产品创新绩效的两个重要前提，它们对产品创新绩效的影响途径不同。
