human resources, and technological capabilities. This suggests that innovation is an
internal activity of the firm and the management controls it.
On the contrary, the impact of innovation considering the external factors is a
lesser known subject. A report by Prajogo (2016) examined the role dynamism and
competitiveness in innovation. This report was based on the data obtained by nearly
207 firms in Australia. These reports suggest that dynamism helps in innovation,
which in turn helps business performance. Besides, competitiveness weakens the
product innovation but, on the other hand, strengthens the process innovation.
Dynamism helps in establishing strategic fit, while competitiveness builds strategic
mismatch.
Hypothesis H2: Assessment of present technologies and strategic innovations is
positively related to production performance.

of Textile Wastewater Management
The rapid change in climatic conditions in the twenty-first century has been a
challenge for mankind. This change accounts for the increased emission of greenhouse gases, such as CO 2 , N 2 O, HFC 5 , etc., and was also witnessed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Emission of greenhouse gas (GHG) has an
adverse effect not only on human life but also on food production. Of note, textile
industries contribute 10% of the total GHG annually. Therefore, it is necessary to
have an appraisal system to counter the challenges of GHG. Zhu et al. (2018)
proposed a management system to counter greenhouse gas emissions from textile
industries based in China. The evaluation methodology was divided into four steps.
The first pertains to the policies and commitment, the second involves the implementation of program, the third is the expert review followed by a site visit, and
finally the fourth was analyzing the data based on the Monte Carlo method. The
methodology adopted by the team has led to draw accurate estimation of greenhouse
gas emissions and its prevention.
In recent years, petroleum-based organic polymer dominates the textile industry.
At least two-thirds of the item used in textiles has been switched over to polyamide,
acrylic plastic, whose thickness varies from 100 nm to 5 mm. Plastic waste has
become a potential threat to global warming and greenhouse gas. It was estimated
that 35% of waste accumulated in the marine environment is of plastic, and a major
portion can be seen in the coastal region. A critical review has been done by Henry
et al. (2019) on factors that need to be focused on to control the discharge of fabric
from textile industries. The report would provide an interim indication of sustainable
management and strategies by adopting suitable analytical methods.
It is known that water is available abundantly in nature. Despite abundant
availability, only <1% can be used directly due to the harsh discharge of effluents,
rapid industrialization, and population. In a report, the current status of the water
