ABSTRACTThis study explores the role of eco-innovation in promoting environmental sustainability in the agricultural sector in South Africa. The study applies a mixed-methods approach using both qualitative and quantitative data on eco-innovations. The study is guided by the Resource-Based View (RBV) as a theoretical lens and applies a logistic regression model to explore the relationship between various resources and capabilities and four types of environmental sustainability outcomes. The results suggest that agricultural businesses that invest in developing process innovations, acquire knowledge from external sources, leverage different types of technologies such as precision agriculture and sensor technologies are more likely to achieve improved environmental sustainability outcomes. The study suggests a few policy recommendations that emphasize the importance of creating incentives for agricultural businesses to invest in innovative and sustainable agricultural practices, collaborate with higher education and government research institutions and facilitate adoption of advanced ICTs to promote eco-innovation.KEYWORDS: Eco-innovationResource-based viewAgricultural sustainabilitySouth AfricaEnvironmental impact Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Department of Science and Innovation, South Africa.

ABSTRACTThere has been a growing debate on the role of intellectual property rights (IPR) in the accumulation of knowledge and more recently on the role they play in ensuring long-term economic growth by supporting knowledge creation and expansion, incentivizing investment in R&D and innovation. This research aims to reveal the effects of industrial property rights on regional economic development in Turkey. In addition, and recognizing the heterogeneity across regions within the same country, we conduct the analysis with a caveat, by differentiating the effect across developed and developing regions. Our results suggest that industrial property rights have played a dual role, first by promoting the effort on investment in innovation activities measured as R&D intensity, and the amount of R&D employees, and second, by contributing to economic development. However, the impact differs between developed and developing regions.KEYWORDS: Regional economic developmentintellectual property rightsindustrial property rights knowledge creationinvestment in innovationpanel data methodology Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACTInclusive green growth is crucial for sustainable economic development. Through subjective and objective comprehensive evaluation methods, this study measures the level of inclusive green growth for 30 provinces in China from 2011 to 2019. On this basis, the study uses multiple empirical methods to analyze the effect of digital finance on inclusive green growth. The results reveal that digital finance significantly promotes inclusive green growth through the mechanism of technological innovation. In addition, the threshold regression model indicates that digital finance has a marginally increasing effect under single threshold constraints of its development level and coverage breadth. However, digital finance has a marginally decreasing effect under the single threshold constraint of traditional finance development level. Finally, a heterogeneity test indicates that digital finance significantly promotes inclusive green growth in regions with low per capita GDP, those with a high agricultural GDP percentage, and central and western regions.KEYWORDS: Digital financetechnological innovationsustainabilityinclusive growthnonlinear effect Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 42171172), the Natural Science Foundation of Guangdong Province (No. 2021A1515012248), Major Program of the National Social Science Fund of China (No. 21ZDA011).

ABSTRACTGovernments around the world are increasingly using megaprojects to deliver services to communities. However, most megaprojects fail; they are delivered late, with significant cost overruns and/or diluted benefits. Researchers have suggested implementing open innovation (OI) to improve megaproject performance. However, implementing OI requires an organization to build new capabilities. This study contributes to the literature on megaprojects by adapting the dynamic capabilities concept to develop a theoretical framework for implementing OI. A combination of a literature review and expert judgement was used to extract twenty-nine elements that are the micro-foundations of the capability to implement OI in megaprojects. A grey number theory-based mathematical model was developed to measure and objectively monitor the OI implementation index (O3I) for megaprojects. This study presents a case study that indicates the ease of implementation of the developed model and its transferability to other megaprojects across domains. This study intersects three areas of inquiry: megaproject management, OI, and dynamic capabilities and makes two key contributions to the growing body of knowledge in megaproject management: (1) we adapt the dynamic capabilities concept to develop a framework to implement OI in megaprojects and (2) we develop a scale to qualitatively assess the level of OI implementation in an organization.KEYWORDS: Project managementDynamic capabilitiesmegaprojectstrategic managementopen innovation Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACT Achieving inclusive outcomes through innovation is such that small, micro and medium enterprises (SMMEs) can no longer be ignored. This study aims to investigate the determinants of innovation activities among SMMEs in a developing country context using evidence from South Africa. Using the binary logistic regression model, this paper analysed a dataset of 643 SMMEs located across eight district municipalities in South Africa. The study findings revealed that there are dynamic innovation activities occurring among SMMEs located in rural and/or informal settings, focusing on making incremental changes to production and delivery processes adopted from elsewhere. The study identified several factors that hinder or enhance innovation activities among SMMEs, revealing that the factors associated with innovation activities vary depending on the nature of the innovation activity. Empirical insights from this study could better inform strategies used by policy makers to promote innovation that strengthen the competitiveness of SMMEs and innovation that is socially inclusive.
