Abstract

In this carbon neutrality era, digitalization is booming and emerging as having an essential role in corporate green technology innovation (GTI). However, as corporate digitalization is a systematic project involving various aspects, research into its role and mechanisms in shaping GTI is expected to be enriched. Given the complexity of measuring corporate digitalization, we first provide a measure of firm-level digitalization by applying natural language processing techniques and unsupervised machine learning modelling to management discussion and analysis text. Further, drawing on the resource-based view, we reveal a positive association between corporate digitalization and GTI, and find that corporate digitalization contributes to GTI by improving resource endowments management including resource accumulation, utilization, and allocation. As carbon neutrality and digitalization are in full swing, this study advances research on digitalization and highlights its role in sustainable corporate transformation.

利用企业数字化促进绿色技术创新:资源禀赋的中介作用
在这个碳中和时代,数字化正在蓬勃发展,并在企业绿色技术创新(GTI)中扮演着不可或缺的角色。然而,由于企业数字化是一项系统工程,涉及方方面面,因此对其在形成 GTI 过程中的作用和机制的研究还有待丰富。鉴于衡量企业数字化的复杂性,我们首先通过对管理讨论和分析文本应用自然语言处理技术和无监督机器学习建模,提供了企业层面数字化的衡量标准。此外,借鉴基于资源的观点,我们揭示了企业数字化与 GTI 之间的正相关关系,并发现企业数字化通过改善资源禀赋管理(包括资源积累、利用和分配)促进了 GTI。在碳中和与数字化如火如荼地进行之际,本研究推动了对数字化的研究,并凸显了数字化在企业可持续转型中的作用。

期刊介绍: The interdisciplinary journal Technovation covers various aspects of technological innovation, exploring processes, products, and social impacts. It examines innovation in both process and product realms, including social innovations like regulatory frameworks and non-economic benefits. Topics range from emerging trends and capital for development to managing technology-intensive ventures and innovation in organizations of different sizes. It also discusses organizational structures, investment strategies for science and technology enterprises, and the roles of technological innovators. Additionally, it addresses technology transfer between developing countries and innovation across enterprise, political, and economic systems.
