Not all green innovations are equally green: State ownership, green innovation generality and contingencies.Guannan Qu & Xin Pan - 2023 - Business Ethics, the Environment and Responsibility 32 (4):1532-1546.details This research scrutinises the correlation between state ownership and the attributes of green innovation, specifically underscoring generality as a primary trait of innovation favoured by governments. Green innovation with generality, due to its applicability across diverse contexts at reduced expense, becomes an appealing strategy for states to address environmental concerns. Consequently, we suggest that state ownership encourages the prevalence of green innovation characterised by generality. Furthermore, we delve into two contingencies related to ascribed and achieved political connections, positing that they, (...) Download Export citation Bookmark
Top management teams' foreign experience, environmental regulation, and firms' green innovation.Xuejiao Zhang, Qingyang Zhao, Wanfu Li & Yu Wang - 2023 - Business Ethics, the Environment and Responsibility 32 (2):819-835.details In this study, we examine how top management teams' foreign experience affects firms' green innovation performance and what role environmental regulation plays in their association. Using a large data set on firms' green patents and foreign work or education experience of top management teams from China, we find robust evidence that firms whose top management team members have foreign experience achieve significantly more green patents, and this positive relationship is more pronounced for firms subject to strong environmental regulation.

Executive poverty experience and innovation performance: A study of moderating effects and influencing mechanism.Ximeng Jia, Tao Wang & Chen Chen - 2022 - Frontiers in Psychology 13.details This paper analyzes the impact mechanism of executive poverty experience on innovation performance from the two logics of “innate endowment” and “endogenous power.” It then explores the moderating role of executive characteristics, firm nature, and market competition from the perspective of heterogeneity, and finally proves the influence mechanism. Using the data of Chinese A-share listed companies from 2012 to 2020, the empirical results show that executives’ poverty experience improves corporate innovation performance. Further studies find that female executives with poverty experience (...) Download Export citation Bookmark
