Abstract:

Management, entrepreneurship, and innovation scholars are increasingly being asked to consider society’s ‘grand challenges’, perhaps most notably the issue of climate change.
To date, most climate-change research in these fields has focused on climate change mitigation, giving limited attention to climate change adaptation and the innovation that will be necessary to make it effective. We expand research on this topic by studying how climate impact drives climate change adaptation innovation in heterogeneous ways across national institutional environments. We draw on the attention-based view to argue that climate impacts redirect managerial attention to the disruptive potential of climate change and spur firms to pursue this form of innovation. We also explain how formal and informal institutions can condition this effect as managerial attention to innovation opportunities is structured by salient regulations and norms. Our results confirm our predictions and contribute to the literature by showing how ecological factors such as climate impact and institutional conditions jointly motivate entrepreneurs to undertake risky forms of environmental innovation.
