Systematic Literature Review on Green Innovation and Business Performance

67 peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2025 are analyzed in this systematic literature review. The review consolidates theoretical frameworks and empirical insights on green innovation as a strategic driver. It identifies core mechanisms like resource efficiency and stakeholder alignment linking innovation to sustainable performance.

Use Cases

• Analyze the application frequency of theoretical frameworks like Resource-Based View (RBV) or stakeholder theory across the 67 articles.
• Map the identified core mechanisms (resource efficiency, stakeholder alignment, strategic renewal) to reported performance outcomes in the literature.
• Investigate the reported limitations concerning the dynamic and multilevel nature of green innovation processes.
• Examine the conceptual framework integrating external drivers, innovation processes, and performance outcomes for hypothesis generation.

Strengths

• Review is based on 67 peer-reviewed articles, providing a defined corpus for analysis.
• Covers a 10-year time range of literature from 2015 to 2025.
• Develops a specific conceptual framework integrating drivers, processes, and outcomes.

Limitations

• The dataset is a single 533.7 KB document, not a structured table, limiting computational analysis.
• The review identifies significant limitations in the source literature, such as minimal integration among theoretical perspectives.
• Sample size is confined to 67 articles, which may not represent the entire field.
