| Author(s) | Country | Major findings | Theoretical perspective | Intellectual capital |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jiang et al. (2018) | China | This study provides a deep understanding on the concept of GEO that exploits and transforms the social economy into the social-ecological economy | Dynamic capability theory | GEO, knowledge transfer and integration and technology dynamism |
| Habib et al. (2020) | Bangladesh | This study's finding indicates that organisations must encourage GEO to reap higher firm performance | Resource advantage theory | GEO, market orientation, green supply chain management |
| Fatoki (2019) | South Africa | The findings of this study provide an understanding about how the hospitality sector must exploit GEO for better sustainability initiatives | Natural-Resource Based View and Stakeholder theory | GEO |
| Guo et al. (2020) | China | This study encourages green innovation and supply chain learning, and is of great significance for managers to understand how to implement GEO in the process of achieving green innovation development | Entrepreneurial Orientation Theory | GEO and supply chain learning |
| Pratono et al. (2019) | Indonesia | The findings state that firm inter-organisational learning plays a critical role as an intervening variable that is fostered by GEO and market orientation, for achieving greater sustainable competitive advantage | Dynamic capability theory | GEO, market orientation and inter-organisational learning |
| Luu (2021) | Asia–Pacific Emerging Market | The current study encourages firms to create sustainable tourism services in the tourism industry and promote employees' green creativity via cultivating GEO. | Conservation of resources theory | GEO, Quality of green communication, Green creative self-efficacy, Harmonious environmental passion |

| Muangmee et al. (2021) | Thailand | The current study suggests that GEO and green innovation can assist firm managers in understanding the factors that lead to superior sustainable performance | Resource-based view | GEO and green innovation |
| Muangmee et al. (2021) | Iran | The recognition of the current research in relation to the GEO concept can largely contribute to the theoretical development in entrepreneurship and environmental science | NA | GEO and green innovation |
| Guo et al. (2018) | China | The findings of this research imply that a strong GEO can effort to enhance the level of supply chain learning capability and developed green innovation | Resource-based view and Dynamic capability theory | GEO, green innovation, supply chain learning capability |
| Li (2013) | China | The findings of the current study indicate that organisations should emphasise GEO practices to reap sustainability performance | NA | GEO, incremental marketing innovation and radical marketing innovation |
