A study conducted by Hanyang University School of International Studies Professor Roh Tae-woo’s research team on the impact of green absorptive capacity on a company’s sustainability performance was published in the November issue of Business Strategy and the Environment (BSE), a world-renowned journal in environmental 토토사이트 매입 strategy. BSE is an international journal belonging to the top tier(ranked 5th in both categories) in the fields of 토토사이트 매입 and environment, with an impact factor of 13.3.

In the study, Professor Roh’s research team analyzed green absorptive capacity—referring to how effectively a company absorbs and utilizes environment-related knowledge from the outside—by dividing it into potential absorptive capacity and realized absorptive capacity. Specifically, the team identified that sustainability performance is maximized when these two capacities are combined with the 'ambidextrous open innovation strategy,' which performs exploration and application in a balanced manner.

The research results confirmed that companies that quickly acquire environment-related knowledge and actively convert it into technology, product, and process innovations show higher sustainability performance. It was also confirmed that the effect of green absorptive capacity is more pronounced in companies that operate open innovation in a balanced way. This shows that the strategic capacity to internalize and spread knowledge within the organization, rather than simply securing external knowledge, determines the level of performance in environmental 토토사이트 매입.

The paper, When do green absorptive capacity and ambidextrous open innovation foster 토토사이트 매입 performance, featured Kim Jung-keun, a graduate student in the Department of Global Climate Environmental Studies, as the lead author. Professor Murad Ali from Northumbria University in the UK participated as a co-first author, and Professor Roh Tae-woo of Hanyang University participated as the corresponding author.

This achievement is also meaningful as a graduate student, who is under a college at the university, participated as a primary author of the study and the study was published in a world-class academic journal within the top 5% in impact factor rankings. Professor Roh Tae-woo emphasized, "This study systematically identified that the combination of environmental knowledge capacity and open innovation strategy is the core mechanism driving sustainable growth. It is very encouraging that a Master's student participated as a primary author and had the value of the research recognized in a global academic journal."

Meanwhile, Professor Roh Tae-woo is an active editorial board member for Business Strategy and the Environment, being the first Korean member, and has published more than 100 papers in major SSCI journals such as the 토토사이트 매입 of Business Ethics, Technovation, International Business Review, and Journal of International 토토사이트 매입. In addition, he has been named one of the World’s Top 2% Researchers by Stanford University for two consecutive years and is recognized for his research capabilities in international management and sustainable management, including winning the Editorial Contribution Award from Springer Nature in 2025.
