<p style="margin-left: 48px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;"><strong>Description:</strong> </span></span>Oman Vision 2040 stated that the Sultanate of Oman had made unremitting efforts to ensure that natural resources are protected and used safely and soundly. Hence, this study investigates the impact of green core competence on the firm’s competitive advantages. Besides, this research aims to examine the mediating effect of green innovation performance in the relationship between green core competencies and a firm’s competitive advantages and examine the moderation effects of R the R&D investment and top management support on the green core competence and green innovation performance. The proposed project will adopt a quantitative research approach. Accordingly, this project is based on primary data. The data will be collected through a survey using a self-administered close-end questionnaire. A questionnaire will be developed based on adopted a Seven-point Likert scale. A convenience sampling technique will be utilized to select the samples. The data of this project will be collected from (CEOs, managers, and directors) in Omani organizations. All the collected data will be analyzed using descriptive statistics and partial least squares based on structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Thus, the findings of this project will reflect the result of the proposed conceptual framework. Therefore, this study will bridge the research gaps in theory and provide significant suggestions and guidelines for policymakers and decision-makers. This project will foster support mechanisms for green innovation performance in the Sultanate of Oman. Therefore, the expected theoretical and practical implications will be discussed to contribute to policymakers’ decisions.</p>
