Drawing from the paradox theory, it also investigates the moderating role of managing paradoxical tensions arising from these implementations. To test the hypothesized relationships, survey data are collected from 147 Indian manufacturing firms implementing CE, OE practices, and internet of things (IoT) and big data analytics (BDA)‐enabled digital systems. The data are analyzed using structural equation modeling and moderated mediation analysis. Results indicate a direct significant effect of adoption of IoT and BDA‐enabled digital systems on operational performance and environmental sustainability, and partial mediation by CE and OE implementations, respectively. There is a strong moderation of managing paradoxical tensions on the impact of CE and OE implementations on performance. Additionally, the conditional indirect effect of CE implementations on the environmental sustainability outcomes of the IoT and BDA adoption increases with greater effort in managing paradoxical tensions. The study answers the call for empirical research on the organizational tensions that surface due to conflicting demands of initiatives related to operational efficiency and environmental sustainability.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142596527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, knowledge is lacking on organizational mechanism and firm capabilities which combines with SO to help firms achieve improved post‐entry performance. Consequently, we adopted the natural resource‐based view (NRBV) to explore how international brand orientation (IBO) mediates this relationship. In addition, we shed light on when the relationship is more pronounced by examining how firms' dynamic capability, relating to levels of market orientation (MO), enhances or attenuates this linkage. Using time‐lagged data from 288 INVs operating in Ghana, the results reveal that the positive effect of SO on post‐entry performance is mediated by IBO. Additionally, the effect of IBO on post‐entry performance is amplified when a firm's MO is high. Thus, we show that INVs from developing markets are more likely to maximize the positive effects of pro‐environmental strategies on their global market performance if these are complemented by effective brand management and elevated market‐oriented capabilities.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142596529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis identifies critical approaches such as enhancing supply chain transparency, improving resource management, and facilitating product lifecycle tracking. However, the integration of blockchain into CE practices presents challenges, including technical complexities, scalability issues, and regulatory hurdles. Addressing these challenges requires interdisciplinary and cross‐sectoral collaboration, as well as continuous research and innovation.

The depressed bodies are thus found to actively retreat from the atmospheres by appropriating an assemblage of habit, skills, movement and materials. By conceptualising this dynamic tension (between receiving and preventing atmospheric effects), this study makes a theoretical contribution to expand atmospheric studies and the psychologic and psychiatric literature on depressive experiences.

The findings showed that the effect of digitalization on SMEs' sustainability reporting is insignificant negative while sustainability competence fully mediated the relationship. The nexus between digitalization and sustainability competence was positively moderated by green knowledge integration.
