Reviewer 2 Report

I wish to thank for the opportunity to review this interesting paper. It is well written, and it deals with an important and highly topical theme, i.e. how big data management capabilities (BDMCs) could drive green innovation. The authors suggest that BDMCs can impact green innovation only through interaction with other capabilities, particularly green dynamic capabilities (DCs). In other words, BDMCs’ impact on green innovation is diminished without green DCs. The research emphasizes the significance of developing both BDMCs and green DCs as a means of achieving green innovation. Another interesting finding is that the effects of BDMCs on green DCs increase under turbulent circumstances. As turbulence constantly increases in the world, the value of BDMCs and green DCs will increase in the future.

The empirical data is collected from 266 Chinese manufacturing enterprises. Although I am not an expert of the methodologies the authors use, the methods are logically explained, and the argumentation of the authors seems very convincing. The authors explain their model and all its elements in detail. The results are thoroughly explained.

I tried to find at least some issues that could be improved in the manuscript, but I find it hard. If anything, the authors could explain why they did not include in their model green value co-creation and green practices, even though they refer to Yousaf (2021) who found the mediating role of them between green DCs and green innovation.

I think this interesting paper makes a very nice contribution to the journal.

The English language is good, and I only suggest spell check.

Reviewer 3 Report

I thank the authors for the opportunity to review an actuality study assessing the linkage and impact of management big data practices and green innovation in manufacturing enterprises.

The manuscript is well structured. The authors defined the goal, described the context of the study, and formulated the research hypotheses.

A deeply developed theoretical section allows you to understand the theoretical foundations on which the authors built their reasoning and research model.

The authors used in the study mathematical and statistical methods for assessing the responses of 266 manufacturing companies according to the hypotheses of the study. All claimed research methods are evidence-based and suitable for testing hypotheses. Figures and tables demonstrate the key points of the study, allow you to adequately evaluate the results of statistical analysis.

The conclusions of the manuscript are consistent with the evidence and arguments presented.

Highly appreciating the quality of the submitted manuscript, I recommend that the authors include in the introduction and abstract information that the study is based on the analysis of the results of the survey (and not on the basis of the analysis of quantitative indicators of enterprises activity). The results of the study are the basis for moving on to the next stage - the analysis of quantitative indicators of the activities of enterprises within the framework of this research topic, which may be one of the areas of research in the future.
