CEO Power Dynamics: Implications for Green Innovation and Performance in the Manufacturing Sector

Abstract

In the realm of corporate governance, understanding CEO power dynamics is pivotal for comprehending their influence on green innovation and performance within the manufacturing sector. CEOs wield significant authority over strategic decisions, resource allocation, and organizational culture, all of which directly impact environmental initiatives and sustainability practices. Their leadership style, commitment to sustainability goals, and ability to navigate regulatory landscapes shape the extent to which manufacturing firms prioritize and invest in green innovations. Moreover, CEO power dynamics influence stakeholder perceptions, shareholder value, and competitive positioning in increasingly eco-conscious markets. Thus, exploring these dynamics provides crucial insights into how organizational leadership can drive or hinder progress toward sustainable manufacturing practices and enhanced performance metrics.
