Network Embeddedness and Disruptive Green Technological Innovation: The Mediating Role of Resource Orchestration

Abstract

Although there has been a lot of research on network embeddedness, few scholars have explored its impact on disruptive green technological innovation. Taking manufacturing enterprises as the research object, this paper divides network embeddedness into two dimensions, namely structural embeddedness and relational embeddedness, by using social network theory and resource orchestration theory, discusses the influence of both on disruptive green technological innovation in manufacturing enterprises, and analyzes the mediating role of resource orchestration and the adjustment of environmental insight capacity. The results show that: (1) structural embeddedness and relational embeddedness not only have significant positive effects on disruptive green technological innovation, but also have significant positive effects on resource orchestration; (2) resource orchestration has a significant positive impact on disruptive green technological innovation, and plays a partial mediating role between structural embeddedness, relational embeddedness and disruptive green technological innovation, respectively; (3) Environmental insight capacity positively moderates the relationship between embeddedness and disruptive green technological innovation. The research results are helpful to clarify the mechanism of network embeddedness on disruptive green technological innovation in manufacturing enterprises, and expand the research on resource orchestration and disruptive green technological innovation.
