Despite the acknowledged importance of social intrapreneurs for the implementation of corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies, the literature on social intrapreneurship (SI) is still limited and weakly integrated. Furthermore, regardless of the growing imperative for companies operating in the Asia-Pacific region to become more socially and environmentally responsible, studies on SI have rarely addressed this part of the world from the cultural perspective. The aim of the current paper is to address this gap by developing a multi-level analytical framework to understand whether SI practices have been promoted and integrated into Australian firms' strategies. Through several in-depth semi-structured interviews, the study reveals new and important antecedents for SI, such as organisational climate (financial and non-financial rewards and targeted training sessions) and individual background (family of origin). By drawing a clear and comprehensive multi-level framework, our study informs both researchers and practitioners on how to manage SI, and consequently, benefit CSR practices.

With the development of globalisation, people's awareness of environmental protection is gradually increasing. The purpose of this article is to study how companies can avoid risks, improve market competitiveness, and expand their profits under the concept of green innovation. From the perspectives of competitive environment, risk aversion and supply chain innovation, this paper uses game theory to analyse the number of green supply chain companies and how companies can achieve green pricing and decision-making innovation, and compared the different sales models of retailers, manufacturers and middlemen. The results of the study are as follows: the green innovation model has increased the profits of retailers and manufacturers by 20.53%; and 34.09%, and the revenue increase rates of the three sales models are 31.43%, 39.39%, and 41.67%, respectively.

PPP projects are currently an important part of a country's socialist market economy and play an important role in the income generation of a country's national economy. Under the guidance of the concept of sustainable development, the concept of green finance was born. The purpose of this article is to study the construction of a green financial innovation system based on the PPP environmental protection industry fund. This article mainly focuses on the PPP-based green financial innovation system and the environmental protection industry fund as the main research content, discusses the important role of the green financial innovation system and the environmental protection industry in the current social development, and then combines the two to build a green financial innovation system. A simulation experiment was carried out using the green investment development indicator system, and the results showed that the use of the system constructed in this paper to implement PPP projects reduced its carbon dioxide emissions by 30%.

Outsourcing has gained much importance in managerial practice and academic discussion. This paper investigates the phenomenon of outsourcing knowledge-based work, particularly of intellectual property (IP). Using data from 36 cases, the analysis reveals a distinct typology of IP outsourcers based on a cost model and the firms' IP outsourcing strategy. Four in-depth case studies are analysed: non-outsourcer transaction cost outsourcer, expertise outsourcer, and strategic outsourcer. The differentiated analysis reveals trade-offs and both positive and negative effects of the IP outsourcing strategy. We suggest that firms need a differentiated approach based on the type of IP work (legal versus non-legal) and outsourcing breadth (number of outsourced IP services) to manage intellectual property rights (IPR) with external suppliers most efficiently. We conclude by providing practitioners five important lessons for the outsourcing of IP activities.

Using data from a survey of 559 innovative manufacturing firms in Quebec, we analyse knowledge-sourcing strategies adopted by firms and examine the relationship between use of service functions and knowledge-sourcing strategies. Four strategies are identified: low-profile sourcing, internal-oriented sourcing, market-oriented sourcing and full-scope sourcing. The results reveal knowledge-sourcing strategies are linked to a particular mix of service functions, and the different types of services are not equally important across the different knowledge-sourcing strategies.

Product platforms are assets shared by multiple products. Their primary purpose is to offer product variety while keeping time-to-market and operational costs down. As new products are developed over time, the question arises when to replace a platform. The repetitive use of the same platform for multiple product generations keeps platform development time and costs low. As the platform gets obsolete, however, the time and efforts to adapt the platform to the newest product will go up. With these dynamics in mind, we develop a simulation model to gain insight into the desired platform replacement planning. We examine how platform replacements are impacted by a firm's performance objectives, the speed of innovation, and the competitive landscape.

This article presents a study of two projects focusing on the relationships of two Nordic clients with suppliers in low-cost countries. It explores the interplay between trust and control when offshoring information systems development projects. The key insight reveals that trust is not a substitute for control, no matter its level. The paper offers several contributions. First, we build a conceptual model for exploring the relationship between trust and control and the role of actual project performance. Second, the study reveals that trust supports a team's willingness to share knowledge, and control facilitates its ability to do so. Furthermore, our analysis shows that the impact of trust and control on project performance is better managed through the adjustment of project goals instead of adjusting the levels of trust and control. Finally, we contribute to theory through the development of a causal model of trust, control, actual performance, and project goals.
