Using a survey of 324 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) of the Yangtze River Delta in China, this study discusses the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation, absorptive capacity, environmental dynamism, and corporate technological innovation performance. The results based on a moderated moderation model show that the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and innovation performance is significantly positive. The absorptive capacity can positively moderate this relationship. When the external environment is in high dynamism, the moderating effect of absorptive capacity will be stronger than when the environment is in low dynamism.

Realizing the harmonious coexistence of environmental and economic benefits is an inevitable requirement, and promoting the sustainable development of corporate environmental governance and physical enterprises “from virtual to real” is the essence. Using a sample of Chinese A-share listed heavily polluting enterprises from 2004 to 2020, the impact mechanism of green mergers and acquisitions (M&A) on corporate financialization is investigated through multiple regression analysis. The results show that green M&A can inhibit corporate financialization, with government environmental concerns playing a negative moderating role and corporate governance capabilities playing a positive moderating role. Further results on the transmission mechanism show that financing constraints mediate the relationship between green M&A and corporate financialization. The results of the study not only show that green M&A is a “sincere” behavior of enterprises to promote sustainable development, but also reveal the “dynamic” role of government environmental concerns and corporate governance capabilities. In addition, the “reservoir” effect of corporate financialization is also confirmed.
