Green Technological Innovation and Environmental Regulation

Introduction

The rapid spread at global scope of innovative technologies has modernized the economic sectors that are contributors of environmental pollution and other health risk hazards with limiting findings in technological innovations and ecological solutions. The green transformation of the manufacturing industry is crucial, and environmental regulation and technological innovation may play key roles (Zhao et al., 2021)

In recent years, climate change and environmental sustainability have become some of the most pressing global economic issues (Chen et al., 2022), but the contradiction between economic and ecology has become increasingly prominent (Liu et al., 2020), The research in population socio-ecology is accompanied by criticisms and organizational research regarding the abandonment of organizations (Amburgey & Rao, 1996). Research can be advanced at the intersection between sustainability and population socio-ecology (Salimath, & Jones, 2011).

In other hand, when the environmental regulation system is weak, firms tend to emphasize maximization of profits, environmental taxes and engage in treatments to expand production scale and balance the regulation cost and with the economic recession boosting the propose of Industry 4.0 and circular economy, innovation is generally accepted as the solution to the contradiction among environmental protection, pollution prevention, resource recovery, and economic growth (Zhou & Du, 2022). That why is important to identify the relationship between environmental regulation and green innovation.

This analysis on the impact of environmental regulation and incentives in socio-ecological and green technological innovation assumes that environmental regulation and market financing are important factors affecting enterprise green technological innovation (Wang et al., 2022) and affects the performance of socio-ecological in organizations. The study presents some implications of the organizational socio-ecology to develop a framework for the analysis followed by the organizational green technological innovation leading to determine the impact of the environmental regulation policies and incentives. Finally, some conclusions are presented based on the analysis.

The theoretical framework of organizational socio-ecology and sociological theory is a tool to formulate and implement socioecological principles to organizational strategies for turning around low-performance organizations, inducing the emergence of an economic and social environment and with an impact on non-linear development. The theory of organizational socio-ecology is based on a social Darwinism of organizational populations The organizational socio-ecology theory analyzes the alterations, difficulties, and restrictions of the organizational populations in application conditions (DiMaggio and Powell, 1983).

The organizational socio-ecology theory assumes that there is convergence between the paradigm of organizational socio-ecology and sociological perspectives leading to organizational research. The fundamental assumption of organizational socio-ecology is the differentiation of organizational populations. Organizational socio-ecology is linked to other areas with the incorporation of methodological innovations such as strategic simulation models. The socio-ecology of routines at the organizational level, and the notion organizational character (Birnholtz, Cohen & Hoch, 2007) is defined as the ability to regenerate a coherent socio-ecology of patterns of action. The theory of population socio-ecology is a tool for the theoretical and empirical analysis of organizational phenomena.
