Reconciling the Literature on Industry 4.0 Technologies and Circular Economy: A Mediation–Moderation Analysis
This study advances the understanding of how I4.0 technologies and supply chain dynamic capabilities (supply chain integration and flexibility) can drive circular economy (CE) and sustainable performance. Utilizing a meta‐analysis approach, we employ meta‐structural equation modeling, subgroup analysis, and meta‐regression to provide various underlying mechanisms. The study draws on data from 84 previous empirical studies, encompassing evidence from over 30 countries. The findings indicate that supply chain integration and flexibility partially mediate the relationship between I4.0 technologies and CE practices. Further, CE practices and supply chain integration partially mediate the link between I4.0 technologies and sustainable performance. Subgroup analysis and meta‐regression reveal heterogeneity in the I4.0 technologies–CE practices relationship, considering the type of economies, digital competitiveness score, and Hofstede's cultural dimensions as moderators. The findings offer comprehensive insights for academics and practitioners on I4.0 technologies, CE practices, and sustainable performance.
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.
