Tracing the Reverse Relationship Among Environmental Benefits, Business Model Innovation, and Eco‐Innovation: Does Cooperation Matter?
This study investigates the direct and reverse relationships among environmental benefits, eco‐innovation, and business model innovation (BMI), emphasizing the role of national and foreign cooperation among firms. We employed a structural equation model using data from the 2014 European Community Innovation Survey (CIS), the most recent survey to include questions on firms' environmental activities and eco‐innovations. We studied 6827 firms from the Czech Republic (2363), Germany (3264), and Greece (1200). Findings confirm reverse relationships between eco‐innovation and BMI and between eco‐innovation and environmental benefits. This study challenges the notion that (foreign) cooperation positively impacts eco‐innovation, highlighting a paradox that warrants further investigation. Additionally, we emphasize the reliance of companies on cooperative partners for BMI. Our results underscore the need for a holistic approach to eco‐innovation in light of increasing global environmental challenges. Practical implications include heightened environmental awareness, adjustments to corporate business models, and enhanced cooperation within the analyzed countries.
期刊介绍:
Business Strategy and the Environment (BSE) is a leading academic journal focused on business strategies for improving the natural environment. It publishes peer-reviewed research on various topics such as systems and standards, environmental performance, disclosure, eco-innovation, corporate environmental management tools, organizations and management, supply chains, circular economy, governance, green finance, industry sectors, and responses to climate change and other contemporary environmental issues. The journal aims to provide original contributions that enhance the understanding of sustainability in business. Its target audience includes academics, practitioners, business managers, and consultants. However, BSE does not accept papers on corporate social responsibility (CSR), as this topic is covered by its sibling journal Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management. The journal is indexed in several databases and collections such as ABI/INFORM Collection, Agricultural & Environmental Science Database, BIOBASE, Emerald Management Reviews, GeoArchive, Environment Index, GEOBASE, INSPEC, Technology Collection, and Web of Science.
