应对环境问题的挑战改变了企业运营方式的许多方面，电子公司尤其如此。IT行业的“走向绿色”是一项重大挑战，因为需要在思维上进行重大转变，以确保与绿色相关的利益。使用内容分析方法，我们已经调查和扩展了绿色IT的概念，作为四个主要的电子公司实施。通过分析这些企业的环境报告，我们建立了一套由企业实际实施驱动的绿色IT理论概念。我们提出了九个命题，概述了理论含义。此外，我们的分析表明，电子公司的主要重点是绿色处置做法，其次是能源效率的努力。我们还得出结论，法规和政策加上公司方面提高的意识和环境责任可以鼓励绿色IT创新。本文还提供了一个讨论的结果和本研究所作的贡献。
The challenge of responding to the environmental issues has changed many aspects of the ways businesses operate, and this is particularly true of electronics companies. "Going green" in the IT industry is proving a major challenge, as significant shifts in thinking are needed to secure the benefits associated with being green. Using a content analysis method, we have investigated and expanded the concept of Green IT, as implemented by four major electronic companies. By analyzing these companies' environmental reports, we have established a set of theoretical concepts of Green IT, driven by companies' practical implementations. We proposed nine propositions outlining the theoretical implications. Additionally, our analysis demonstrated that the principal focus of electronic companies is green disposal practices, followed by energy efficiency efforts. We also concluded that regulations and policies coupled with heightened awareness and environmental responsibility on the part of the company can encourage Green IT innovation. This paper also provides a discussion of the results and of the contributions made by this research.
