Enhancing sustainable development: Innovation ecosystem coopetition, environmental resource orchestration, and disruptive green innovation

Disruptive green innovation stands out in an important way to achieve corporate sustainable development. Although the general importance of innovation ecosystem has recently been emphasized, little research has considered the influence of innovation ecosystem coopetition on disruptive green innovation. Combining resource-based view and resource orchestration theory, this study sheds light on the relationships among innovation ecosystem cooperation and competition, environmental resource orchestration, and disruptive green innovation under the moderating role of big data analytics capability. Using data collected from 295 manufacturing enterprises in China, the results show that both innovation ecosystem cooperation and competition have positive effects on environmental resource orchestration?and that environmental resource orchestration has a positive effect on disruptive green innovation. Furthermore, environmental resource orchestration is found to partially mediate the relationship between innovation ecosystem cooperation and disruptive green innovation, and to fully mediate the relationship between innovation ecosystem competition and disruptive green innovation. Moreover, we find that big data analytics capability has a moderating effect on the relationship between innovation ecosystem cooperation and environmental resource orchestration, whereas it does not moderate the relationship between innovation ecosystem competition and environmental resource orchestration. This study opens avenues for understanding the relationship between innovation ecosystem coopetition and disruptive green innovation, which enriches literature on both innovation ecosystem and green innovation. Likewise, this study has important implications for practitioners who attempt to promote market disruption and sustainable development with the help of ecosystems.
