The Impact

This paper examines the relationship between green product innovation, green process innovation, competitive advantage of product and market performance in the SMEs Ciwaringin batik Cirebon West Java. A survey of 93 SMEs batik provides the basis for the empirical investigation. The relationships between the green innovation product, competitive advantage of product and market performance are examined using stepwise regression.The findings show that green product innovation not contributes positively to competitive advantage of product and market performance. Another findings of this study is that the impact of green process innovation contributes positively to competitive advantage of product but not to market performance in the SMEs Ciwaringin batik. Competitive advantage of product has impact to market performance. This paper also discusses the recomendations of the results.

PurposeGreen product innovation is a global industrial concern. This research examines the possible impact of green product innovation on firms' competitive advantage in industrial enterprises operating in qualified industrial zones (QIZs).Design/methodology/approachThis research follows a descriptive analytical methodology, testing two hypotheses formulated based on the reviewed literature among chemical industrial plants of the three Jordanian QIZs (Amman, Zarqa and Irbid) in Jordan. Following a preliminary scoping study of all 219 Jordanian chemical manufacturers, a quantitative five-point Likert scale questionnaire was administered to firms applying green product activities.FindingsIn total, 20 firms were found to be utilizing green product innovation, representing only 9.13% of the overall population. The hypothesis testing results indicated that green product innovation has a statistically significant positive impact on competitive advantage. The results also showed that the factor “firm resources” has a statistically significant positive moderation effect on the relationship between green product innovation and competitive advantage.Research limitations/implicationsThe vast majority of Jordanian chemical manufacturers were not implementing green innovation or practices; further study is needed to identify barriers. Findings are limited to managers of chemical industrial plants in Jordan, excluding the demand side (e.g. plant customers who purchase final products), which leaves a different research angle to be explored.Originality/valueThis is a pioneering study of green product innovation implications for firm competitive advantage in manufacturing enterprises, especially in QIZs of Jordan (which offer tax exemptions to foreign and local investors and sell products to regional and international markets).

Green Product Innovation

Achieving and sustaining competitive advantage is a goal among firms, but it is increasingly challenging in a rapid changing and sophisticated environment. Most of the environmental management undertaken by firms in developing countries are not able to increase the competitive advantage of the product. Hence, this study investigates proactive capabilities that need to be developed in a dynamic environment where it involves green product innovation, environmental proactivity, alliance pro-activeness, and knowledge-based dynamic capabilities that impact on competitive advantage performance. This study involved a survey of 157 manufacturing firms with ISO 14001 certification throughout Malaysia. By implementing structural equation modelling approach, the results provided evidence of positive and significant direct effects of green product innovation and environmental pro-activity on firm’s competitive advantage. The relationship of alliance pro-activeness was fully mediated by the presence of knowledge-based dynamic capabilities as a condition to survive and prosper in a competitive market.

The Relationship

Purpose This study aims to investigate the interactions between lean production, internal green practices, green product innovation and sustainable performance metrics. The study further looks at the mediation effect of internal green practices and green product innovation between lean production and sustainable performance dimensions. Design/methodology/approach The questionnaire was used to glean data from 209 manufacturing firms. All the hypothesized relationships were processed by using partial least square-structural equation modelling. Findings The results suggest that lean production significantly leads to the implementation of internal green practices and the production of quality products with eco-oriented features that meet customers’ needs. Further, while lean production and internal green practices were found to significantly influence sustainability performance, green product innovation significantly influences only financial performance. Besides, the mediation analysis shows that internal green practices mediate the relationship between lean production and sustainable performance dimensions but green product innovation mediates the relationship between lean production and financial performance only. Research limitations/implications The study is limited to firms from Ghana, a developing country; hence, the results cannot be imported to reflect other geographical contexts. Practical implications The results of the study provide sufficient justifications for managers, (especially Ghanaian managers and those from other similar environs) to commit their financial resources towards implementing lean production and internal green practices so as to achieve sustainability excellence. Originality/value This study magnifies and provides new insight on lean and green literature by developing a comprehensive research model that concurrently tests the direct and indirect effects between lean production, internal green practices, green product innovation and sustainable performance dimensions.
