Resumen

El objetivo de este editorial en el International Journal of Innovation (IJI) es compartir reflexiones sobre la ecoinnovación, destacando los avances y perspectivas en las investigaciones actuales, resaltando las oportunidades y desafíos de las organizaciones identificados por los investigadores en sus estudios. La ecoinnovación es importante para el desarrollo sostenible, ya que promueve prácticas empresariales que combinan el rendimiento económico y la responsabilidad ambiental. Este editorial discute la investigación actual sobre los factores que impulsan la adopción de la ecoinnovación, sus implicaciones económicas y ambientales, y cómo su intersección con la internacionalización puede potenciar los beneficios. Además, exploramos las oportunidades y desafíos, como la necesidad de políticas públicas favorables y la colaboración interdisciplinaria. Invitamos a los investigadores a enviar sus estudios al IJI para avanzar en el campo de la ecoinnovación.
