Research on the Influencing Factors of Green Process Innovation Path of Manufacturing Based on Niche Ecostate-Ecorole

In order to explore the influencing factors of green process innovation path of manufacturing, this paper puts forward a concept model of influencing factors of green process innovation path of manufacturing based on the niche ecostate-ecorole theory, studying the influencing factors from three aspects: the ecostate attribute, the ecostate and ecorole interface attribute, and the ecorole attribute. It proposes some hypotheses and tests them by carrying out structural equation model analysis on the basis of large sample data from 29 manufacturing industries in China, and then makes empirical researches on the influencing power of each factor on green process innovation path. The study tells us that the ecostate attribute, the ecostate and ecorole interface attribute and the ecorole attribute of green process innovation have obvious positive influences on green process innovation path of manufacturing. Among which, personnel and funds of scientific and technological activities, tax exemption and reduction to encourage technology development, and the rate of assets contribution have the most significant impact on green process innovation path of manufacturing.
