Big Data Analytics Capabilities and Eco-Innovation: A Study of Energy Companies
TLDR
In this article, a preliminary study consisting of energy and utility firms is undertaken to understand the impact of big data analytics towards eco-innovation and concludes that information and data are key inputs, and big data technology provides firms the opportunity to obtain information, which could influence its production process and possibly help arrest increasing CO2 emissions.Abstract:
Increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the past decades have created concerns about the environment. To stymie global warming and the deterioration of the natural environment, global CO2 emissions need to reach approximately 1.3 tons per capita by 2050. However, in Malaysia, CO2 output per capita—driven by fossil fuel consumption and energy production—is expected to reach approximately 12.1 tons by the year 2020. GHG mitigation strategies are needed to address these challenges. Cleaner production, through eco-innovation, has the potential to arrest CO2 emissions and buttress sustainable development. However, the cleaner production process has been hampered by lack of complete data to support decision making. Therefore, using the resource-based view, a preliminary study consisting of energy and utility firms is undertaken to understand the impact of big data analytics towards eco-innovation. Linear regression through SPSS Version 24 reveals that big data analytics could become a strong predictor of eco-innovation. This paper concludes that information and data are key inputs, and big data technology provides firms the opportunity to obtain information, which could influence its production process—and possibly help arrest increasing CO2 emissions.read more

The effects of business analytics capability on circular economy implementation, resource orchestration capability, and firm performance
Eivind Kristoffersen,Eivind Kristoffersen,Patrick Mikalef,Patrick Mikalef,Fenna Blomsma,Jingyue Li +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship among a circular economy-specific business analytics capability, circular economy implementation, resource orchestration capability, and firm performance, and found that firms with a strong business analytic capability have an increased resource orchestrator capability and a greater ability to excel in the circular economy, resulting in improved organizational performance in building a more sustainable competitive advantage.

A Resource-Based View of the Firm
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the usefulness of analyzing firms from the resource side rather than from the product side, in analogy to entry barriers and growth-share matrices, the concepts of resource position barrier and resource-product matrices are suggested.
