abstract = {This study investigates the interplay of advanced manufacturing technologies (AMT),
digital commerce, circular economy intensity, and digital maturity on innovation outcomes
among Spanish manufacturing firms in the post-pandemic era. Drawing on resource orchestration theory and survey data from 1813 companies, the analysis employs regression and
mediation techniques to assess direct and indirect effects on product and process innovation.
Findings reveal that AMT adoption leads to modest, context-dependent improvements in
process innovation, while effects on product innovation are limited or negative; e-commerce
adoption alone does not predict substantial innovation gains, and jointly adopting these
technologies rarely produces amplifying results. Greater circular economy intensity mediates a negative relationship with process innovation, indicating possible resource trade-offs
between sustainability initiatives and innovation goals. Digital maturity inconsistently
strengthens positive impacts and can further moderate innovation outcomes in interaction
with circular economy practices. Notably, economic benefits from circular economy practices are concentrated in export-oriented firms and not widely distributed in the sample.
These findings challenge assumptions that digital and green transformations universally enhance innovation, advocating for tailored policy and organizational strategies that account
for sectoral and contextual differences.},
