Management of innovation projects in the green industries of Kazakhstan: a practical investigation using a knowledge-based approach

Abstract. Today, creating innovation and development in green industries is considered as one of the factors of economic and social development. In this article, through a questionnaire at the level of innovation projects, a model for the management of innovation projects has been developed and its structural equation has been presented. The approach of this research is quantitative exploratory using thematic analysis method. Therefore, 235 people in green industries of Kazakhstan have been interviewed, focusing on active projects during 2022-2023. The findings of the research evaluate the main themes of communication management, economic and social development and innovation based on knowledge as areas of interest and provide new frameworks around the way of implementing their processes.

Research hypotheses at the level of innovation projects have been examined from the perspective of green industry management knowledge and their impact on industry performance has been identified. Furthermore, by evaluating the relationship between working performance, technology, and collaboration in green industries, it was discovered that both working performance and technology have a significant influence on employee performance, both independently and collectively. The obtained results indicate that social capital and knowledge transfer are effective on the innovative performance of green industries.
