摘要

双碳背景下,节能环保业成为保障我国绿色发展、实现“3060目标”的重要力量。节能环保企业的服务模式和技术水平直接影响我国生态环境的质量。本文基于需求基础观和互补性观点,以2010—2019年237家节能环保上市企业为研究对象,实证检验了环境服务模式创新的经济效果,并探究了环境服务模式创新和绿色技术创新对企业绩效产生的共同影响作用。研究发现:产品主导和客户主导的服务模式能显著提高企业绩效,且后者为企业创造的边际收益更高;整体解决方案模式会降低企业绩效表现;异质性研究发现,国有企业对服务化水平较低的模式更敏感,而非国有企业对服务化水平较高的模式更敏感;此外,产品主导的服务模式与绿色技术创新可协同创造较大的互补性经济收益;整体解决方案模式与绿色技术创新的联合部署带来的高成本会降低企业绩效。本研究不仅有效地拓展了服务模式创新文献的研究体系与研究内容,而且有利于帮助企业认识部署服务模式创新和绿色技术创新带来的风险和机遇,为企业根植自身情境制定相关经营策略提供参考。

Abstract

In 2021, China explicitly proposed an ambitious goal of "carbon dioxide peaking and carbon neutrality", which means that China will strive to reach the peak of carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and to become carbon neutral by 2060. Energy saving and environmental protection industry, as an important force guaranteeing green development, is bound to play a key role in the process of realizing the goal of "carbon dioxide peaking and carbon neutrality". However, in the actual situation, the innovation vitality of energy saving and environmental protection enterprises is still insufficient, and the end-of-pipe treatment model still occupies a larger market. At the same time, the emerging service modes represented by the total environmental solution mode lack objective evaluation evidence. Under the background of promoting servitization and realizing the goal of "carbon dioxide peaking and carbon neutrality", it is of great importance for China's green economic development to clarify the relationship between servitization and enterprise value of energy saving and environmental protection enterprises and help enterprises realize environmental service mode innovation.
In reality, enterprises may carry out a variety of innovation activities at the same time, but the existing literature mainly focused on the influence of a single innovation activity on enterprise performance. There are scarce studies focusing on the combined effect of two key innovation activities on enterprise performance. Different from other industries, environmental protection products and services have distinct public product attributes and positive externalities. The service mode and green technology of energy-saving and environmental protection enterprises greatly affect the regional ecological environment quality. However, it has been proved that China's energy saving and environmental protection enterprises generally face serious resource constraints. Thus, under the condition of limited resources, how should we balance the development of these two important innovation activities? What impact will the simultaneous deployment of environmental service mode innovation and green technology innovation have on corporate performance? These questions have not yet been satisfactorily answered by the existing literature.
Based on the demand-based view and the complementarity perspective, with the 237-energy saving and environmental protection listed enterprises from 2010 to 2019 taken as samples, this paper empirically examined the economic effects of environmental service mode innovation, and analyzed the joint effects of environmental service mode innovation and green technology innovation on corporate performance.
The main findings of this paper are as follows: first, the product-oriented mode and the customer-oriented mode can significantly improve performance, and the latter can create more marginal benefits for enterprises. The total solution mode has a significant negative effect on the performance. Second, enterprise ownership will affect the relationship between service mode innovation and performance. State-owned enterprises are more sensitive to the modes with a lower level of servitization, while non-state-owned enterprises are more sensitive to the modes with a higher level of servitization. Third, the interplay between the product-oriented mode and green technology innovation can result in complementary benefits to improve performance. The joint effect between the total solution mode and green technology innovation incurs high costs to damage firm's benefits.
The conclusions of this paper are helpful for energy saving and environmental protection enterprises to understand the effects of various environmental service modes, to clarify the risks and benefits between service mode innovation and green technological innovation, and it can also help such enterprises implement business strategies based on their own situation.

We investigate the association between service intensity and the survival odds of new manufacturing ventures. Although previous research extensively addresses the value of servitization in established firms, this is the first empirical study that asks whether service intensity, defined as the percentage of sales from services, is beneficial or detrimental to new ventures. Drawing on resource-advantage theory, we further ask whether, under increasing service intensity, new ventures with a higher industry-adjusted ratio of tangible to total assets, labor productivity, or current ratio improve survival odds. Based on a comprehensive data on 6,683 new Portuguese manufacturing ventures founded between 2006 and 2010 and followed until 2015 (33,272 venture-year observations), the results show that higher service intensity lowers the odds of survival. For entrepreneurs, we caution against higher service intensity but demonstrate that survival odds can improve under increasing service intensity when the company can achieve a higher industry median–adjusted ratio of tangible to total assets, improved labor productivity, or a stronger current ratio position. The findings are robust after controlling for endogeneity and self-selection into services.

Some product firms increasingly rely on service revenues as part of their business models. One possible explanation is that they turn to services to generate additional profits when their product industries mature and product revenues and profits decline. We explore this assumption by examining the role of services in the financial performance of firms in the prepackaged software products industry (Standard Industrial Classification code 7372) from 1990 to 2006. We find a convex, nonlinear relationship between a product firm's fraction of total sales coming from services and its overall operating margins. As expected, firms with a very high level of product sales are most profitable, and rising services are associated with declining profitability. We find, however, that additional services start to have a positive marginal effect on the firm's overall profits when services reach a majority of a product firm's sales. We show that traditional industry maturity arguments cannot fully explain our data. It is likely that changes in both strategy and the business environment lead product firms to place more emphasis on services.

This article studies the role of industry conditions as determinants of manufacturing and software firms' decisions to offer services. It draws on the competence perspective on industry evolution and servitization to theorize and provide empirical evidence on how industry conditions affect firms' choice to offer two distinct types of services-product-oriented services and customer-oriented services. It is argued that firms are likely to offer product-oriented services in Schumpeterian industry environments to address high technological uncertainty by leveraging and reinforcing capabilities in the existing technology. In contrast, firms are likely to offer customer-oriented services in non-Schumpeterian industry environments to address value generation uncertainty by building competences in new technological or market areas. Based on longitudinal data on 410 public firms from manufacturing industries and the software industry, empirical evidence suggests that firms are indeed more likely to offer product-oriented services in Schumpeterian industry environments, such as in the early stage of the industry life cycle and under conditions of high R&D intensity and competition, whereas they are more likely to offer customer-oriented services in non-Schumpeterian environments, such as in the later stages of the industry life cycle and in highly cyclical industries.

YE G, PRIEM R L, ALSHWER A A. Achieving demand-side synergy from strategic diversification: How combining mundane assets can leverage consumer utilities[J]. Organization Science, 2012, 23(1): 207-224.
We explore the overlooked issue of how certain strategic-level, interindustry diversification options might increase consumer utility. Discussions of inter-industry diversification typically focus on producer synergies obtainable from economies of scope or from skill transfer across business units. Discussions of intra-industry product diversification—generally, the province of marketing—typically focus on synergies obtainable from product bundling, which lowers producer costs or provides convenience for consumers. We take a different tack by linking interindustry diversification and consumer utility. We first separately examine two possible consumer benefits of interindustry diversification: (1) facilitating consumers' accomplishment of two tasks simultaneously or (2) attracting diverse consumer groups to a common platform when intergroup externalities exist. We then assess a simple empirical context that shows potential for simultaneous consumer utilities and two-sided market utility together. We analyze this context and concurrently develop a mathematical model showing how these demand-side synergies can create unique business value. We next introduce asymmetric preferences among consumer subgroups, and we refine our arguments by comparing their conclusions with the empirical data. We learn that combinations of otherwise mundane (i.e., commonplace) assets can create consumer value—“superior” assets are not necessary. Moreover, common ownership is necessary for the pricing flexibility required to deliver (and capture) maximum value through interindustry diversification, especially when consumer groups' preferences may change; the negotiations and settling up required for cooperation through alliances will, without common ownership, increase costs and reduce responsiveness. We discuss the sustainability of demand-side advantages and the implications of these ideas for future research and practice.

Increasingly, manufacturing firms are turning to services as a new way of creating and capturing value. Despite its potential benefits, many new product-service providers struggle to deploy service activities effectively, not least because they fail to reflect the presence of service activities in their performance management systems. This article reports the results of an in-depth case study, which examines how manufacturers can steer the transition towards services. It shows that manufacturing firms need to emphasize two separate but related dimensions of the market performance of service activities: “service adoption,” reflecting the proportion of customers who purchase the manufacturer's services; and “service coverage,” signaling the range of service elements or the comprehensiveness of the service contract that customers opt for. These two indicators, reflecting service market performance, should be supplemented with a “complementarity index” designed to disclose whether the relationship between products and services is reinforcing or substitutive. When combined, these indicators allow manufacturing firms to deploy a service-based business model in an integrated and sustainable manner.

With the rise of service economy, many companies are attempting to gain a competitive advantage through service innovation. However, the existing research has not drawn consistent conclusions about the relationship between service innovation and firm performance. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to provide a quantitative review on the service innovation-performance relationship based on research findings reported in the extant literature.
