The Moderating Role of IT Capability on Green Innovation and Ambidexterity: Towards a Corporate Sustainable Development
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
After reading the manuscript entitled “The Moderator Role of IT Capability on Green Innovation and Ambidexterity: Toward a Corporate Sustainable Development” , it seems to me that it can be a good candidate for publication at this journal. According to authors this study investigates the moderation effect of Information technology (IT) capability in shaping the impacts of ambidexterity and two types of GI practices, including both green product innovation (GPDI) and green process innovation (GPCI). SEM was used to analyse the data that is great. Following comments can help the authors to improve it for publication:
1) In the abstraction, authors only mention the country name for data collection location, but which region was selected was not mention here. It was great that authors used SEM for data analysis, but which version of SEM was used not mentioned here.
2) Introduction is ok. It will be better if authors cite more recent papers here in relation to the manuscript.
3) 2. Theoretical Foundation is ok. “Figure 1. Theoretical model” should be conceptual framework as it is the ultimate framework of the study. Based on this framework formulated the hypotheses.
4) 3. Hypothesis Development is ok.
5) In the 4. Methodology, Authors should be clear regarding the data collection procedures. Here, authors mentioned only country name, no region for data collection is mentioned here that should be mentioned. Authors probably did not consider whole China as sample where they mentioned that they mailed 1200 companies. Are they all large firms or SMEs? Authors did not mention which language was used for survey questionnaires. As per the methodology, authors mentioned that overall response rate is 30.7%. Have they checked the test of normality? Have they checked internal consistency using VIF? Authors did not mention the time duration for data collection. Authors did not mentioned which SEM version was used to analyse data. The value of RMSEA = 0.114 & SRMR = 0.138 is not as per standard. Authors should remove these two values for better clarity. If authors put it here, it will make readers confused.
6) 6. The authors should enrich the Discussion section, add more explanations for Theoretical Implications section.
7) Authors should edit and proofread it by professional editor as I found typing mistakes, spelling mistake, grammatical errors etc.
8) Authors should follow the referencing style pas per authors guidelines of this journal.
9) Authors should do the double check between reference list and in-text citations.
