Larissa Marchiori Pacheco, Marlon Fernandes Rodrigues Alves, Lara Bartocci Liboni · 2018 · Business Strategy and the Environment

Summary. This study examines how environmental and organizational factors drive green innovation in Brazil's electric power industry. The research finds that organizational factors mediate the relationship between environmental pressures and green innovation performance. Green absorptive capacity—a firm's ability to recognize, assimilate, and apply environmental knowledge—strengthens this entire process. The findings demonstrate that firms better equipped to absorb green knowledge achieve superior innovation outcomes.
