: The mobility of skilled workers is an important way to knowledge transfer in regional economies, with positive effects on interactive learning and innovation. Thus, our goal is to analyze whether the regional mobility of skilled workers impact on innovation at the regional level. We use microdata on employment in Brazil to track the mobility of from skilled workers, focusing on STEM occupations. We apply the knowledge production function approach to assess the impact of mobility on regional innovation. Our results show that the mobility of skilled workers has a positive impact on regional innovation, since the circulation of skilled workers can generate positive externalities due to the presence of new knowledge in a region and by increasing opportunities for interactions.

This paper investigates how the twin transition (digital & green) unfolds within firms by relating investments in digital technologies to the propensity of eco-innovating production processes and models. Drawing on a heterogeneous theoretical background, digital technologies can be hypothesised to enable eco-innovation across the board. However, a greater eco-innovation impact is expected from Artificial Intelligence and from bundling digital investments. Using the new Permanent Census of Firms of the Italian National Statistical Office, these hypotheses are tested on a large sample of more than 150,000 firms. Results confirm that the contribution of digital technologies to a firm’s eco-innovation is mainly driven by investments in AI application areas, while investments in other digital technologies work more selectively. Moreover, new eco-innovative production processes and models benefit from bundling investments in different digital technologies, but with differences among firms of different size.

ABSTRACT Until now, the management literature on Artificial Intelligence (AI) focuses mostly on the diverse applications of this technology, while its development has attracted only limited attention. To partially fill this research gap, the present paper analyses a large sample of AI patents and investigates the potential determinants of their technological impact. We show how University-Industry (UI) collaborations seem to be less able to develop high-impact AI patents, compared to other types of partnership based on the involvement of either universities or companies. This result contrasts with the previous literature on the inventing process of other general-purpose technologies (GPT), thus clarifying how the development of AI may be significantly affected by the peculiar characteristics of this technology. Thereby, our findings not only shed further light on the inventing process of AI solutions but may also stimulate the debate on the development of other GPTs strongly imbued with scientific knowledge.

ABSTRACT There has been a growing interest in open innovation strategy as a mechanism to face obstacles in innovative projects in the last three decades. These studies reveal that companies perceiving knowledge and skill shortages prioritise collaboration with universities and public research institutions rather than with other partners. However, most studies addressing the link between collaboration and innovation barriers are conducted in high-income countries. Drawing on the concepts of cognitive distance and absorptive capacities, we propose an analytical framework that challenges the suitability of this finding in the context of less developed economies. We provide evidence supporting this framework’s implications using the case of Colombian manufacturing firms. The resulting underutilisation of knowledge by firms in the context of emerging economies, as a consequence of their cognitive distance from universities and public research institutions, has important policy implications.

ABSTRACT The article presents innovation in artificial intelligence (AI)-based health services as a co-production process between actors and digital artefacts that increase automation and augmentative routine dynamics. The co-production process is analysed from the routine dynamics and contributions of science and technology studies and complexity theory. An in-depth single case of co-production based on AI is analysed to illustrate the innovation process at the micro level. The analysis reveals four findings: (1) innovation in services based on AI-technological solutions emerges from sociotechnical assemblages enacted by actors, artefacts, and routine dynamics; (2) technological solutions based on AI are emergent properties; (3) co-production of technological solutions based on AI are contextualised on situated action and embedded in a cognitive distribution system that leads to automated and augmentative routine dynamics; and (4) the adoption of standardised AI-based technological solutions transforms institutional arrangements. Implications for policymakers and future research agendas are also outlined.

ABSTRACT Constructing a portfolio of university-industry (UI) alliances with multiple academic institutions simultaneously has been pervasive for emerging market firms. However, whether repeated partnerships in focal firms’ UI alliance portfolios influence firm innovation performance remains unknown. Using the unbalanced panel data from Chinese manufacturing firms, we theorise and find that UI alliance portfolio partner repeatedness has a negative effect on focal firms’ innovation performance. Besides, we examine the boundary conditions under which UI alliance portfolio partner repeatedness influences firm innovation performance. We find that both institutional development and market competition weaken the negative effect of UI alliance portfolio partner repeatedness on firm innovation performance. This study contributes to previous studies and provides practical implications for both firm managers and policymakers.

ABSTRACT We examine the externalisation of labour as a strategic response to a temporary exogenous shock (i.e. COVID-19). Combining ideas from employment externalisation theory and the CATO framework (which are both extensions of transaction costs economics), we argue that firms that are hit harder by the COVID-19 shock are more likely to plan hiring freelancers that replace permanent employees. The mechanism we argue for is that firms seek to reposition quickly, which lowers comparative adjustment costs and reduces constraints on switching employment modes in future, depending on the extent of task co-specialisation. Analysing survey data obtained from 1,090 Danish small medium enterprises during the initial COVID-19 lockdown supports our hypotheses. Our findings contribute to the research on strategic responses to crises and provide novel understanding of why firms may externalise employment.

ABSTRACT Why and how do incumbent firms (IFs) induce crises for latecomer firms? How do latecomer firms (LCFs) manage the crises, and how does crisis management affect LCFs’ catch-up? To answer these questions, we look at crises induced by IFs and LCFs’ crisis management by drawing on competitive dynamics and crisis management theories. Based on two case studies in the telecommunications sector, we find that IFs induce crises using intellectual property (IP) lawsuits (called IP crises) for hindering LCFs’ catch-up. Two LCFs achieved different catch-up performance based on the effectiveness of subsequent IP crisis management. In particular, we also find that the sectoral environments, in terms of technological and demand regimes, can act as a moderator in the relationship between the IP crisis management and the catch-up performance. We propose a more fine-grained view in catch-up studies by suggesting that the constructs ‘IFs-induced IP crises’ and ‘LCFs’ IP crisis management”.
