How do green knowledge management and green technology innovation impact corporate environmental performance? Understanding the role of green knowledge acquisition
Open accessAbstract
Abstract Increasing regulatory obligations to adapt and execute environmentally friendly operations make it critical for businesses to pursue strategies that can strengthen their competitive edge in the market. Academics and practitioners alike have recently gravitated toward exploring how knowledge acquisition activities might improve business outcomes. To address this growing research interest, this study investigates the critical roles of green knowledge acquisition in enhancing green knowledge management and green technology innovation activities in improving corporate environmental performance, positioning resource commitment as a moderator. The research model has been assessed using structural equation modeling with survey data from 283 Indian manufacturers, demonstrating that green knowledge acquisition significantly impacts green knowledge management and green technology innovation. The statistical findings also show that green technology innovation acts catalyzes the translation of green knowledge management into improved corporate environmental performance. The results demonstrate that resource commitment moderates green knowledge acquisition's interaction with green knowledge management and green technology innovation, providing practical insights enabling managers to focus on planning, allocating, and budgeting resources for effective green practices that can contribute to improving corporate environmental performance.

Knowledge acquisition can be enhanced by accepting GIT.
“As argued in recent studies, knowledge acquisition can be enhanced by accepting GIT (Sahoo et al., 2023).”
From Sustainable entrepreneurship and knowledge management: Role of green information technology in building sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystems (2025) · cites this paper as Sahoo et al., 2023
The Hypotheses section (3.1; page unavailable) proposes that green knowledge acquisition (GKA) positively affects green technology innovation (GTI), not that accepting green technology enhances acquisition. Figure 2 reports a positive effect of GKA on GTI, confirming that direction. The paper does discuss using big data analytics to acquire green information, but does not identify accepting GIT as the cause of enhanced knowledge acquisition. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
