IT‐Enabled Organisational Transformation and Green Employment Growth in Microfirms
In this paper, we explore whether IT‐enabled organisational transformation (ITOT) moderates the relationship between eco‐innovation and the growth performance of microfirms. Our framework conceptualises ITOT in microfirms as a multistage process that includes: (i) setting a digitalisation strategy, (ii) adopting advanced information systems technology (IST) artefacts and (iii) developing in‐house digital resources and capabilities. The analysis of a sample of 5015 microfirms from 39 countries indicates that eco‐innovations boost firm growth when coupled with (i) a formalised digitalisation strategy, (ii) adoption of advanced IST artefacts (e.g., digital technologies that characterise Industry 4.0) and (iii) digital resources and capabilities in microfirms. These findings contribute to the growing digitalisation literature by highlighting the essential role that ITOT processes play in enabling sustainability‐led growth pathways for microfirms. The paper advocates for the viability and performance benefits of a twin digital and ecological transformation and showcases the potential of ITOT for an economically successful net‐zero transition that embraces microfirms.
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.
