Telemedicine solutions are invading our daily lives, raising a major issue concerning the personalization of remote consultation and trust in the physician's Competence, Integrity and Benevolence (Trusting Beliefs). The aim of this study is to extend the existing Technology-Acceptance-Model (TAM) using the concept of Trusting Beliefs and Perceived Personalization. To test the model, a quantitative approach using existing scales has been selected. A survey was administered to students from several French business schools and the sample of 158 students was analysed using a Partial Least Approach. Findings highlight the key role of Trusting Beliefs in Perceived-Personalization. While two of the three dimensions (Benevolence and Integrity) of Trusting Beliefs theory have no influence on the Intention-to-Use, Competence has a direct, positive and significant impact on Intention-to-Use a Telemedicine Cabin. The relationship between the variables of the TAM is validated, except for Perceived-Ease-of-Use, which does not impact the Intention-to-Use a Telemedicine cabin.

This study addresses the question of financial innovation in developing countries by focusing on the determinants of mobile banking development in Africa. Data on mobile banking across countries is partially constructed by the author, to which is applied panel data and cross-sectional econometric technics, to investigate the determinants of mobile banking development. Statistical analysis reveals that there is a positive link between the different proxies of mobile banking and an indicator of mobile banking development using the principal component analysis technique is constructed. Overall, the estimation of the four models highlights the following determinants: human capital development, credible monetary policy, infrastructure development, remittances facilitation, urbanization, trade openness and the facilitation of access to domestic credit from the banking sector. Also, the results of our robustness check are uncontroversial. A general recommendation to African governments is that they should pursue good performance in the light of the determinants highlighted above by implementing specific and well conditioned economic policies.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the impact of information technology (IT) solutions on the knowledge sharing process within the sea-land logistics network. To tackle the research aim, we illustrate the case of the Port of Genoa, the most important in Italy, the first to adopt a port community system to coordinate logistical processes. Our findings indicate how the IT platform, called E-port, improves interconnections within the system by creating a virtual network that facilitates data exchange among actors. Recent studies investigate ports as a simple logistics supply chain and not as a business network. This paper fills this gap by adopting an actor’s network perspective interconnected by an IT infrastructure that acts as a knowledge orchestrator in the business network.JEL Codes: M11, M15, O33

Research literature on blockchain technology is starting to emerge. Blockchain technology is primarily associated with cryptocurrencies, raising interest in an application in other business sectors, thanks to its character - istics. The decentralized nature of blockchain creates the new concept of a token economy, which can help to trace and valorize intellectual property - one of the essential challenges in co-creation. This paper considers how blockchain technology and tokenization can solve challenges in co-creation projects consisting of large companies, startups and entrepreneurial accelerators. The paper proposes an exploratory analysis based on interviews conducted with French companies and startups. The findings include a framework of (1) challenges, lack of operating rules, trust

This study aims to characterize the eco-innovation activities implemented by the Argentine industrial firms, considering their association with different strategies of transition towards a circular economy. An analysis is made of the main motivations and factors that influence the implementation of the different types of EI, including variables such as economic sector, size, age, origin of capitals, productive linkages and innovative profile of firms. A logit regression model is proposed based on data from the National Survey of Employment and Innovation (ENDEI), which collects information from more than 3900 Argentine industrial companies for the period 2014-2016. The results reflect the heterogeneity of both the innovative behavior of the firms and the productive structure of the country. A majority of firms with EI strategies related to resource efficiency and pollution mitigation coexist with a smaller group of companies with a proactive innovative profile and genuinely circular strategies, aimed at reusing waste and designing products with less environmental impact.JEL Codes: Q550, Q570, Q520

This paper deals with innovative entrepreneurs in rural areas, and the knowledge-related processes of business development in an institutionally thin region. It is well-known that businesses in peripheral areas benefit from extra-local knowledge flows. Here, we add to this literature through a focus on micro-businesses and through a fine-grained analysis of the interplay of different types of knowledge throughout the stages of the innovation biography. We present findings from three explorative case studies from the rural northeast of Germany. The results show that extra-local knowledge sparks the seed innovative idea and is important in marketing the final craft-product, but local ties are relevant in the actual production process. We conclude that global knowledge flows are conducive to innovation processes even of micro-businesses in peripheral areas. Therefore, rural development should not focus exclusively on fostering local networks.JEL Codes: O31, R11

Currently, many organizations deploy business model innovation (BMI) to respond to changes in their environments. Most studies have focused on understanding BMI only at the organization level and have not explained how it can emerge from a bottom-up process and be diffused at the network level. Consequently, challenges related to the co-existence of BMs in a network company have not been explained, potentially leading to the failure of the new BMI. The aim of this paper is to fill this void through a single-case study of CH Robinson Europe, a transportation and logistics services company. We study a particular BMI that disrupts existing behaviours and resource flows as it was deployed at the organizational and network levels. This case study demonstrates the coordination and collaboration challenges stemming from the complex relationships between actors, due to their interdependence and the complementarity of business models at different levels. Therefore, our findings extend our understanding of the emergence and diffusion of a BMI in network organizations and of the role played by inter-organizational relationships in value capture from BMI.JEL Codes: O3

The links between creativity and innovation remain a ‘fuzzy front end’. This study aims to better understand how creativity can lead to innovation in an entrepreneurial context. The literature on entrepreneurial creativity and its links with innovation, enriched by research on the development of an entrepreneurial mindset, is being mobilized. It generates an experiential learning oriented entrepreneurship education program. The goal here is to examine whether third spaces resulting from situations of uncertainty implemented into the curriculum make it possible to activate creativity. The aim is to obtain a useful production adapted to a context, a market. A semi-structured questionnaire is administered via a reflexive essay. Moving from the idea to innovation presupposes that the capacities of the actors are activated in capabilities. The qualitative research provides feedback on the potential activation of the capacities of students as entrepreneurs. The results show that third spaces resulting from situations of uncertainty are places that generate potentially effective conversion factors. They allow the transformation of capacities into capabilities.

This study aims to systematically review the effectiveness of telehealth platforms on patients’ wellbeing and health services. Telemedicine has become an increasingly popular option for long distance/virtual medical care and education. We performed an analysis of 64 documents published during 2000-2020 with the aim of systematically analyzing the effect of telemedicine on patients’ wellbeing. The procedure used is a bibliometric method to evalu ate the productivity of scientific outputs quantitatively. The results demonstrate that telemedicine has evolved through different research steps that began with telemedicine as just a communication medium to complement traditional services, to a technology of automation and decision tools that expands the scope and range of health services. This study thus contributes to a greater and more detailed understanding of the current research trends in this new and stimulating field of research. The study also helps decision makers to develop a better understanding of the current landscape, demonstrating the utility of telemedicine in various patient populations and the impact of these technologies on patient satisfaction.
