This research investigates the effect of artificial intelligence (AI) on organizational sustainability (OS) and delves into how this relationship is mediated by various dimensions of intellectual capital (IC), namely human (HC), structural (SC), and relational capital (RC). Data were collected from employees of Saudi travel agencies, resulting in 1122 valid responses, which were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings indicate that AI positively impacts OS as well as the three IC dimensions. Additionally, HC, SC, and RC have a positive influence on OS. The study also reveals that these dimensions partially mediate the relationship between AI and OS. This study advances the literature by clarifying how AI-enabled capabilities are translated into sustainable outcomes within the tourism and hospitality sectors. The findings offer valuable insights for industry professionals aiming to harness AI technologies for sustainable transformation. The study also offers strategic recommendations for tourism and hospitality organizations to invest in enhancing their IC, thereby optimizing the sustainability advantages of AI integration.

Background
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are vital to Malaysia’s economy, comprising a significant portion of all businesses. However, the COVID-19 pandemic exposed vulnerabilities in the SMEs’ digital readiness to operate remotely. To remain competitive, SMEs must adopt digital technologies to innovate and compete. The problem is despite government initiatives promoting digitalisation, the adoption of Cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) remains low.
Research Goals
This study aims to explore how Cloud ERP can increase SME organisational performance and promote its adoption.
Methods
The study uses a qualitative method and analyses the evidence from in-depth interviews with Cloud ERP practitioners, followed by sentiment and thematic analysis of the data.
Results
The findings suggest that the adoption of Cloud ERP systems could enhance the organisational performance of SMEs by having the right resources, capabilities, culture and competitive attributes. The resources needed are budget and knowledge, management support capabilities and a culture of mindset and commitment.
Implications
The implications show SMEs can enhance agility through Cloud ERP and open innovation to promote external collaboration, reduce costs and accelerate innovation cycles. This research serves as a foundation for developing a framework for collaborative innovation between SMEs and external partners.
Originality
The originality of this article lies in the specific barriers, resources and capabilities affecting Cloud ERP adoption among Malaysian SMEs from the perspective of Cloud ERP practitioners not widely explored in existing literature. Furthermore, it introduces a novel dimension by linking Cloud ERP adoption with open innovation, highlighting how SMEs can leverage external knowledge and partnerships to drive innovation and improve organisational performance.

Earthworm (Lumbricus rubellus) farming offers a unique solution for poverty alleviation in rural Indonesia by transforming agricultural waste into economic opportunities while supporting sustainable farming practices. Empowering these farmers is crucial for enhancing their cultivation techniques and economic outcomes. This study examines the key factors that influence the behavior of empowered earthworm farmers, using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as its framework. Conducted in Temanggung Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia, in 2023, the study involved 201 respondents selected through a snowball sampling method. Information was gathered via a survey and then examined using PLS-SEM. The findings indicate that empowerment programs significantly influence farmers’ attitudes, social norms, and perceived behavioral control, which drive their intention to become empowered. Empowered intentions and perceived behavioral control strongly predict farmers’ empowered behaviors, which, in turn, enhance their economic well-being. Notably, the study also found that farmers' personality traits do not moderate the relationship between intention and behavior, suggesting that empowerment programs are broadly effective across different farmer profiles. This study underscores the importance of empowerment initiatives in promoting sustainable farming practices, improving farmers' livelihoods, notably the livelihood of farmers, as the empowerment program is based on dynamic open innovation.

Accordingly, this study explores the following research questions: 1) What educational innovations are facilitated by developing faculty's digital competence? 2) To what extent are these educational innovations linked to external knowledge sources? The study is based on the following research methods: scientific literature review, focus group discussion with faculty members, and conceptual model development through data triangulation. The findings position digital competence as an enabler of educational innovations and highlight the university's role in creating a conducive environment for open innovation by enabling collaboration with various actors, accessing and sharing knowledge and empowering the participation of diverse stakeholders. Moreover, the study concludes that enhancing faculty digital competence, integrating external knowledge through collaborative spaces, fostering industry partnerships, and investing in digital infrastructure can create a dynamic ecosystem that supports open innovation as an educational innovation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity","volume":"10 4","pages":"Article 100409"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142530133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The role of hospitals as leaders of innovation in the bio health industry is emerging in the bio health industry. Hospitals are evolving from medical treatment-centered traditional hospitals to innovation-centered entrepreneurial hospitals that focus on research and development (R&D), and technology commercialization. A series of commercialized medical technologies by clinicians in hospital turns into business models in collaboration with firms. However, few studies have attempted a practical approach to entrepreneurial hospitals. Therefore, this study aims to explore the transformation of traditional hospitals to entrepreneurial hospitals through Korean hospital cases. This study studied the Korean government's initiatives related to supporting entrepreneurial hospitals. In addition, this study conducted interviews with key stakeholders involved in hospital-based innovation networks. Korea has been promoting entrepreneurial hospitals based on open innovation since 2004, and various government-supported projects have been carried out in parallel, making it suitable for examining the development trajectory and challenges from a research perspective. The findings of this study provide a theoretical framework for research on hospital-based open innovation.
