Abstract

Big data analytical capabilities (BDAC) have emerged as a significant strategic tool for enhancing environmental performance in today's ever‐growing green and digital economy. However, the serial process through which BDAC influences environmental performance remains understudied, particularly in multinational corporations (MNCs). Drawing on the dynamic capability view (DCV) and the natural resource‐based view (NRBV), this study constructs a serial mediation model to explore the connection between BDAC, ambidextrous green innovation, green competitive advantage, and corporate environmental performance. A cross‐sectional survey involving 244 MNCs in Germany was used for the analysis. The data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS‐SEM). Our findings reveal that the impact of BDAC on environmental performance is sequential, occurring through ambidextrous green innovation and the development of green competitive advantage. Specifically, BDAC leads to ambidextrous green innovation, which in turn drives green competitive advantage and ultimately enhances the environmental performance of MNCs. The theoretical and managerial implications are drawn.

大数据分析能力在影响企业环境绩效中的作用建模：一个串行中介分析

在当今不断发展的绿色和数字经济中，大数据分析能力（BDAC）已成为提高环境绩效的重要战略工具。然而，BDAC影响环境绩效的一系列过程仍未得到充分研究，特别是在跨国公司（MNCs）中。本研究运用动态能力观和自然资源基础观，构建了一个序列中介模型，探讨动态能力观、绿色创新观、绿色竞争优势与企业环境绩效之间的关系。一项涉及244家德国跨国公司的横断面调查被用于分析。使用偏最小二乘结构方程模型（PLS‐SEM）对数据进行分析。研究结果表明，绿色创新和绿色竞争优势的发展对企业环境绩效的影响是连续的。具体而言，BDAC导致了双灵巧的绿色创新，进而推动绿色竞争优势，最终提高了跨国公司的环境绩效。得出了理论和管理意义。

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.
