AI Article Synopsis
- This study aims to explore how green product and process innovations affect the competitive advantages of the Chinese automobile industry during COVID-19, emphasizing the roles of corporate environmental ethics (CEE) and management.
- A quantitative research method was used, gathering data from production managers and analyzing it through structural equation modeling-partial least squares (SEM-PLS).
- Results indicate that both green product and process innovations have significant positive effects on competitive advantages, highlighting the importance of corporate environmental ethics as a mediator in this relationship.
Article Abstract
Objective: The main purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of green product and process innovation on the competitive advantages of the Chinese automobile industry during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study also examined the mediating role of corporate environmental ethics (CEE) and the moderating role of corporate environmental management in the relationship between the green product and process innovation on the competitive advantages of the Chinese automobile industry during COVID-19.
Methods: This study used a quantitative approach of research with the cross-sectional method for the collection of data. This study also used purposive sampling for the collection of data from the production managers of the automobile industry of China. The structural equation modeling-partial least squares (SEM-PLS) is used to analyze the data.
Results: The results of direct effects indicated that green product innovation has a significant and positive effect on the corporate advantages (β = 0.294, = 2.868) and green process innovation also has a significant and positive effect on the corporate advantages (β = 0.350, = 3.276). Moreover, green product innovation has also a significant effect on corporate advantages (β = 0.334, = 4.258) and green product innovation has also a significant effect on corporate advantages (β = 0.269, = 3.202).
Significance: The research in this domain about the antecedents of green innovation is still minimal in the previous literature. One of the antecedents of the green innovation, corporate environmental ethics is discussed in this study; thus, it provides the understanding of green innovation as the mediator which would mediate the relationship between corporate environmental ethics and competitive advantage in the auto manufacturing industry of China.
Novelty: This study is among very few to examine the relationship between green innovation, corporate environmental ethics, corporate environmental management, and competitive advantages of the Chinese automobile industry during COVID-19.

Green innovation is essential for sustainable development, especially in China's Specialized-Refined-Differentiated-Innovative (SRDI) enterprises. Family-owned SRDI firms, in particular, have attracted attention due to their de-familization strategies and their influence on green innovation. Our study analyzes panel data from 2016 to 2021 for listed SRDI family firms to investigate how de-familization in management rights and ownership impacts green innovation.

Coastal ecosystems play a major role in marine carbon budgets, but substantial uncertainties remain in the sources and fluxes of coastal carbon dioxide (CO). Here, we assess when, where, and how submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) releases CO to shallow coastal ecosystems. Time-series observations of dissolved CO and radon (Rn, a natural groundwater tracer) across 40 coastal systems from 14 countries revealed large SGD-derived CO fluxes.

Exploration missions to Mars rely on landers or rovers to perform multiple analyses over geographically small sampling regions, while landing site selection is done using large-scale but low-resolution remote-sensing data. Utilizing Earth analog environments to estimate small-scale spatial and temporal variation in key geochemical signatures and biosignatures will help mission designers ensure future sampling strategies meet mission science goals. Icelandic lava fields can serve as Mars analog sites due to conditions that include low nutrient availability, temperature extremes, desiccation, and isolation from anthropogenic contamination.

Background And Aim: Cannabis use disorder (CUD) is strongly influenced by genetic factors; however the mechanisms underpinning this association are not well understood. This study investigated whether a polygenic risk score (PRS) based on a genome-wide association study for CUD in adults predicts cannabis use in adolescents and whether the association can be explained by inter-individual variation in structural properties of brain white matter or risk-taking behaviors.
Design And Setting: Longitudinal and cross-sectional analyses using data from the IMAGEN cohort, a European longitudinal study integrating genetic, neuroimaging and behavioral measures.
