Determinants of eco-innovation initiatives toward sustainability in manufacturing SMEs: Evidence from Bangladesh
Open accessAbstract
This study identifies the key factors accelerating the eco-innovation initiatives of manufacturing Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Bangladesh. The study further attempted to measure the impact of eco-innovation on a firm's economic, environmental, and societal performance, broadly called sustainability. Following the convenience sampling technique, data was collected from 876 respondents through a structured questionnaire considering the 7-point Likert scale. The Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) has been employed using Smart PLS v3.3 software to simultaneously show the constructs' relationships. Moreover, the study incorporated several tests to check the reliability and validity of the data. Furthermore, the degree to which data collected for this study fits well with the model has been tested by calculating model fit indices- NFI and SRMR. The findings reveal that all other factors Technological Capabilities (TC), Environmental Regulations (ER), Green products (GP), Competitive Pressure (CP), and Energy Price (EP) has a significant positive association with the firm's Eco-innovation initiatives except FR. Moreover, Eco-innovation (EI) greatly enhances the two domains of Sustainability- Environmental Performance (EnP) and Societal Performance (SoP) in manufacturing SMEs in Bangladesh. However, the relationship between EI and EcP was found to be insignificant. Apart from Economic Performance (EcP) andEnvironmental Performance(EnP), Societal Performance (SoP) as a sustainability domain remains unattended in the prior study, which has been incorporated in this research. Thus, the findings of this study will provide some unique implications for business managers and policymakers.

The Discussion (page unavailable) reports a statistically significant positive effect of technological capability on eco-innovation initiatives in manufacturing SMEs in Bangladesh. It does not establish that digitalization affects innovation management practices, or that the finding applies to SMEs in Poland. (LLM, conf=0.82)

The Materials and methods > Sampling table (page unavailable) treats cleaner technology, reduced hazardous emissions, lower raw-material use, and reuse or recycling as aspects of eco-innovation. It does not specify environmentally friendly raw materials, minimal waste production, or efficient waste-management technologies; its waste-management item concerns cost instead. (LLM, conf=0.85)

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.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
