Abstract

This study looked at how intelligence dissemination affects the relationship between green innovation and revenue growth in manufacturing companies. The study employed a self-administered questionnaire, yielding 267 valid responses, which were subsequently analyzed using Smart PLS-SEM (version 4). The research found a positive connection between environmental commitment and revenue growth. Additionally, there is a significant positive effect of regulatory and market influence on revenue growth. There is also a positive relationship between shareholder engagement and revenue growth. However, the link between innovation practices and revenue growth was not significant. Furthermore, intelligence dissemination negatively affected the relationship between regulatory and market influence, as well as revenue growth. Intelligence dissemination also had a negative impact on the relationship between shareholder engagement and revenue growth. On the other hand, intelligence dissemination positively influenced the relationship between innovation practices and revenue growth. Nevertheless, it had a negative but insignificant effect on the link between environmental commitment and revenue growth. This study sheds light on the importance of intelligence dissemination in enhancing the relationship between green innovation and revenue growth, which has implications for theory, management, and business success.
