However, companies approach this need differently, as the factors that stimulate virtuous behavior can vary. The choices of companies are also influenced by the characteristics of the external context in terms of availability of resources to support the innovation processes and the type of customers. This study investigates the impact of eco‐innovation ambidexterity—balancing exploitative and explorative eco‐innovation—on operational and financial performance in manufacturing firms operating in low‐end markets, traditionally characterized by lower‐than‐average product pricing. It also examines the moderating role of frugal‐innovation orientation in this relationship. Specifically, by applying the ordinary least squares regressions, we focus on a sample of manufacturing SMEs placed in Romania. The history of transition from a planned economy country and the high incidence of SMEs makes Romania an exemplary low‐end market to show the mentioned dynamics. The findings reveal that eco‐innovation ambidexterity positively influences operational performance, while no significant effect is observed for financial performance. Furthermore, frugal‐innovation orientation strengthens the relationship between eco‐innovation ambidexterity and operational performance, while its moderating effect on financial performance remains inconclusive. The results show the importance of eco‐innovation ambidexterity as a dynamic capability for SMEs operating under resource constraints, offering theoretical insights into the innovation–performance relationship. Furthermore, the study offers guidance for managers seeking to balance sustainability with competitiveness in low‐end markets.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145084280","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}

Using the multilevel perspective (MLP) as a theoretical framework, we conducted a case study set in the empirical context of man‐made cellulosic fibers. These heavily patented fibers were a suitable subject for a case study because they are developed to produce more sustainable textile materials, thereby facilitating closed‐loop recycling systems. A total of 102 relevant patent families were identified and analyzed using Leximancer and qualitative data analysis software. The TEMPEST framework was applied to examine their alignment with the hierarchical levels of the MLP. According to the findings, material‐related patents, especially nano‐level innovations, appear central to circular product innovation systems. The results suggest that patented innovations have broad implications and support systemic circularity through coevolution across technological, industrial, and societal dimensions. Four propositions were developed regarding how material‐related patents contribute to circular innovations.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"80 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145084272","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}

With an emphasis on disclosures, this groundbreaking research sets out to analyze the complex relationship between corporate culture and its significant influence on environmental sustainability within firms. Amidst environmental instability and ongoing calls for corporate responsibility, this study makes use of the comprehensive Competing Values Framework (CVF) to carefully investigate the impact of four key subcultures: control, collaboration, creation, and competition on environmental disclosures. Analyzing the data from 2821 10‐K reports of 403 US companies listed on the S&P 500 index between 2016 and 2022, we utilized Python‐based textual analysis to quantify cultural orientation scores and employed flexible pseudo maximum likelihood estimation (Flex) modeling to address the inherent challenges of analyzing double‐bounded environmental sustainability disclosure data. Results revealed a favorable association between only the “creation” subculture and environmental sustainability disclosures, whereas the “control” and “competition” subcultures acted as barriers to progress with no substantial impact exhibited by the “collaboration” subculture. The significance of organizational culture variables in the presence of board variables emphasizes the distinct nature of corporate culture from top management and highlights the importance of this study, which rectifies the endogeneity present in sustainability models due to the disregard of accounting for corporate culture. This study not only uncovers the way forward, amid unexampled environmental challenges, but also ignites an incendiary call to action that reverberates through boardrooms around the world to create cultures that breed innovation to internalize environmental sustainability.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145084279","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}

Based on the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) and signaling theory, this event study uses 3618 ESG bond issuances from 2021 to 2023 to investigate stock market reactions around the issuance date and to test how those reactions vary with use‐of‐proceeds flexibility. The results reveal a negative market response, particularly when the use of proceeds is inflexible. These findings suggest that, while ESG bond issuance signals a commitment to sustainability, it may also raise concerns about financial constraints, prompting investor reassessment. The study extends EMH and signaling theory to the sustainable finance context and adds to ESG bond literature by examining the role of fund allocation flexibility. Overall, the results highlight the importance of transparent reporting, as clear communication about ESG bond objectives and benefits appears essential to sustaining investor confidence.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"90 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145077276","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, the literature at the intersection of data‐driven and sustainable BMI remains conceptually dispersed, limiting theoretical progress and practical application. To consolidate the literature, we combine a systematic literature review with bibliometric coupling to conceptualize data‐driven sustainable BMI. First, we identify five distinct research streams—digital platforms, circular economy, smart manufacturing and supply chains, blockchain, and servitization—which reflect diverse technological pathways to transform traditional business models into sustainable ones. Second, we develop a dynamic capabilities‐based process model that explains how companies can achieve this transformation by orchestrating data‐driven and sustainable capabilities across the initiation, ideation, integration, and implementation phases of BMI. This study advances theoretical understanding and provides practical guidance on how data‐driven technologies can enable positive environmental, social, and economic outcomes.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145077285","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}
