Impact of CEO's IT Background on Green Technology Innovation: Evidence From China
Research Question/Issue
Considering the important role of CEO's background characteristics in formulating firms' innovation strategy decisions, we investigate the relationship between the CEO's information technology (IT) background and corporate green technology innovation.
Research Findings/Insights
We find that the CEO with an IT background results in an addition of 19.6% in corporate green technology innovation outputs. The result is robust to identification tests, including 2SLS, PSM, DID, and system GMM. The channel test shows that the CEO's IT background positively affects green technology innovation by promoting firms' digital transformation. And the financial-industrial integration strengthens the positive relationship between the CEO's IT background and corporate green technology innovation. Heterogeneity analysis indicates that the relationship is pronounced in state-owned enterprises, mature enterprises, and non-high-tech enterprises.
Theoretical/Academic Implications
The findings of this paper not only enrich the research literature on antecedent variables of green technology innovation but also provide theoretical support for listed companies to improve the background configuration of the executive team.
Practitioner/Policy Implications
Against the backdrop of China's booming digital economy, our results provide important insights for practitioners, suggesting that they should employ more IT professionals to improve their green technology innovation capabilities and gain a sustainable competitive advantage.
期刊介绍:
The mission of Corporate Governance: An International Review is to publish cutting-edge international business research on the phenomena of comparative corporate governance throughout the global economy. Our ultimate goal is a rigorous and relevant global theory of corporate governance. We define corporate governance broadly as the exercise of power over corporate entities so as to increase the value provided to the organization"s various stakeholders, as well as making those stakeholders accountable for acting responsibly with regard to the protection, generation, and distribution of wealth invested in the firm. Because of this broad conceptualization, a wide variety of academic disciplines can contribute to our understanding.
