Summary: This study examines the impact of green products innovation type, retailer green marketing, and government intervention policy on environmental performance. The results show that green marketing and ecological labeling policies have a synergistic effect on product greenness for development intensive green products (DIGP) innovation. In contrast, for marginal cost intensive green products (MIGP) innovation, green marketing alone has no sensible impact on product greenness, but in combination with ecological labeling policies, it can result in greater economic profits and product greenness.

Summary: This study examines the impact of internal green activities, such as green managerial innovation and green supply chain management, on firms' environmental performance. It also explores the roles of intellectual property rights, green supply chain management, and green marketing innovation in facilitating green innovation. Findings from a sample of 452 South Korean firms validate the direct effects of green managerial innovation and intellectual property rights on green supply chain management; the effects of green supply chain management and intellectual property rights on green innovation; and the effect of green innovation on environmental performance. Additionally, the study confirms the mediating role of green supply chain management and the moderating role of green marketing innovation in the relationship between green innovation and environmental performance.

Summary: Pharmacogenomics, as a basic pillar of personalized medicine, has low adoption rates in many healthcare systems, especially in low- or middle-income countries. The low level of awareness among healthcare specialists may be a contributing factor, along with other barriers such as lack of proper promotion of pharmacogenomic testing among interested stakeholders.

Summary: This paper conceptualizes the linkages between different categories of GSCM practices and business innovation, and verifies the hypotheses through a survey of Brazilian firms. The results show that the internal heterogeneity of GSCM practices has an impact on innovation. It is also suggested that interaction and mutual influence with external actors during the implementation of GSCM practices are crucial for achieving innovation. The practical contribution of this study is to prioritize certain types of GSCM practices to improve innovative processes and enhance organizational performance.
