Abstract

An effective climate change action involves the critical role that companies must play in assuring the long-term human and social well-being of future generations. In our study, we offer a more holistic, inclusive, both–and approach to the challenge of environmental innovation (EI) that uses a novel methodology to identify relevant configurations for firms engaging in a superior EI strategy. A conceptual framework is proposed that identifies six sets of driving characteristics of EI and two sets of beneficial outcomes, all inherently tensional. Our analysis utilizes a complementary rather than an oppositional point of view. A data set of 65 companies in the ICT value chain is analyzed via fuzzy-set comparative analysis (fsQCA) and a post-QCA procedure. The results reveal that achieving a superior EI strategy is possible in several scenarios. Specifically, after close examination, two main configuration groups emerge, referred to as technological environmental innovators and organizational environmental innovators.
卓越环境创新战略的配置:一个双管齐下的方法
有效的气候变化行动涉及企业在确保子孙后代的长期人类和社会福祉方面必须发挥的关键作用。在我们的研究中,我们为环境创新(EI)的挑战提供了一种更全面、更包容、更双向的方法,使用一种新颖的方法来确定参与卓越EI战略的企业的相关配置。提出了一个概念框架,确定了六组驱动特征的EI和两组有益的结果,所有固有的紧张。我们的分析采用的是互补而不是对立的观点。通过模糊集比较分析(fsQCA)和后qca程序分析了ICT价值链中65家公司的数据集。结果表明,在几种情况下,实现卓越的EI策略是可能的。具体来说,经过仔细研究,出现了两个主要的配置组,称为技术环境创新者和组织环境创新者。
