From the findings, lean entrepreneurship positively correlates the green innovation and green product. In conclusion, the apriori expectations were found to be positive outcomes because of the correlations among the moderating variable, explanatory variable and response variables. Hence, the regression model revealed that the alternate hypotheses were accepted, unlike the null hypotheses.
