Types of Green Innovations: Ways of Implementation in a Non-Green Industry
No full textAttention to environmental sustainability represents an essential issue for the companies
that, in order to integrate environment into their strategies, are producing specific innovations that
have also positive environmental outcomes. Implementing green innovations represents a great
challenge for non-green companies because it often requires the acquisition of new resources and
competences that differ significantly from their existing competences. This paper attempts to propose
a theoretical framework that classifies green innovations according their impact on company’s
competences and analyses how green innovations can be implemented. Given the complexity of
the issue and the variability of situations, we use a multiple case study analysis of several green
innovations developed in a non-green industry, namely the automotive sector. Indeed, this is one that
produces the highest environmental impact and, in recent years, it has been subjected to increasing
regulatory restrictions. Companies operating in a non-green industry that implement disruptive,
radical and architectural green innovations can initiate market and technological partnerships to
mitigate against such internal weaknesses, such as the lack of technological capabilities and market
knowledge. The collaboration helps firms to access new competences and capabilities useful to change
or develop new technology capabilities and market knowledge more easily and with lower costs
Green innovation development: a multiple case study analysis
No full textAttention to environmental sustainability today represents an essential issue for companies working
in non-green industries.
Companies are changing their attitude not only because they are forced by national and international law or by
pressure from consumers but also because the adoption of environmental management strategies creates
opportunities for business organizations.
One of the ways through which companies integrate environmental concerns into their strategies while
consolidating their competitive advantage is through innovations that can have positive environmental effects.
Green innovation – defined as “innovations that consist of new or modified processes, practices, systems and
products which benefit the environment and contribute to environmental sustainability” – can constitute an
important source of cost reduction or improve environmental attributes of new products and services and can
be used for marketing differentiation.
Implementing green innovations represents an important challenge for non-green companies because it often
requires the acquisition of new resources and competences that differ significantly from their existing
competences.
Previous studies on green innovations have often neglected this latter aspect because they have generally
been focused on defining the specific features that distinguish green innovations from generic ones, on the
effect of environmental policies, on fostering these innovation activities, or on the drivers of green innovations
and its effect on firms’ competitiveness. Thus, to the best of our knowledge, the majority of studies have
focused on “who” has pushed green innovations, “why” they occur and with which results without noting
“how” they are developed
This paper attempts to contribute to the studies on this topic by proposing a theoretical framework that
classifies green innovations by considering the impact of these innovations on a company’s resources and
competences. In particular, we focus on green innovation developed in non-green industries, where
innovation development lies far from the company’s core business and current resources and capabilities.
To identify the different typology of green innovation according to their fit with existing market or technical
capabilities, we employed the “Innovation Landscape Map” of Pisano (2015) and developed a multiple case
study analysis in the non-green industry
