sustainability. These product service-based tools are integrated in such a way that
information would be processed autonomously with self-decision taking ability. A
practical example of the physical Internet was also considered in this study. It was
noticed that using smart product-service system (PSS) in association with physical
Internet (PI) could be beneficial to address issues related to design and business
models.
Service innovation also contributes to the economic growth of a country. It was
estimated that the contribution of the service sector was around 48% in 1997 and has
been increased to 57% by the year 2015, even among the countries having average
and moderate income compared to countries with high income. It is because firms
nowadays are not dependent on the resources as they have the opportunity to build a
network between suppliers and consumers. Ndubisi et al. (2019) carried out intense
research on firms’ joint innovation capabilities, which are situated in the UAE. This
work was based on the 302 responses collected from 151 firms across UAE that have
been analyzed. This report also provides the gap between the knowledge and
innovation capabilities required. It was also reported that the mediation effect in
establishing a bridge between knowledge and service innovation is positive. Besides,
the intensity of competitiveness to meet the demands of uncertainty has also been
highlighted.
Hypothesis H7: Operational capabilities for service in textile wastewater sectors are
positively related to operational performance.
12.3.8 Relationship Between Eco-innovations and the Impact
on Business Performance
Firms with differentiated, innovative capabilities would have varied resources (heterogeneous and immobile) and are very difficult to imitate. Innovation in sustainability arises as a result of the confluence of discussion to meet the demands of a
global society based on the conception of eco-innovation. Adapting to rapid changes
in market strategies based on innovation would result in something new, reduce the
burden on the environment, as well as influence factors such as social, cultural, and
institutional values. A survey was carried out by de Oliveira Brasil et al. (2016) to
build a relationship between eco-innovation and business performance based on data
of 70 samples obtained from different companies. They analyzed that eco-innovation
can influence the bridge between process and product. Every eco-innovation method
has a different role in finding determinants, attributes, and contributions to expand
the business. However, if a study is confined to the textile sector, eco-innovation
should be based on holistic view and operation capabilities.
In recent years, the regulations imposed on textile industries to adopt innovative
programs to reduce and reuse concept have brought down the burden on the
environment. Eco-innovation refers to production, service, and business strategy,
which are novel to the firms resulting in reduced pollution, environmental risk, and
