Objective of the study: The study’s objective is to provide a systematic literature review on the coevolution of the Technologies associated to Industry 4.0 and business models.Methodology/approach: The research was built on conceptual blocs at the interface between Industry 4.0 (I 4.0), business models (BM) and digitalization /digital business models (DBM) in order to identify relevant trends. Through bibliometric techniques, 80 articles were selected from Scopus and WoS, using specialized software.Originality/ Relevance: Few studies exist on the interface under analysis. This article contributes to this emerging literature, providing a synthesis of such literature, including both a detailed descriptive component and an analysis of the main thematic clusters associated to this interface.Main results: The literature still needs to evolve into a framework of a 4.0 business model. The majority of the existing studies focus on business models to specific technologies associated to Industry 4.0. Among the 80 articles scrutinized, 56 were associated to business models and I4.0, and 24 linked business models and digitalization. Few really described a business model that could be characterized as an I4.0 business model.Theoretical/methodological contributions: Identification of key studies underlying the elaboration of an innovative business model associated to I4.0. An immediate and useful characterization of the literature. Identification of the main thematic clusters.Social/management contributions: To provide academics and professionals (especially in Business/Economics) with a detailed and thorough review of the most relevant literature, including the main aspects underlying the creation of innovative business models based on I4.0.

Objective of the study: This article aims to highlight the aspects that drove the implementation of digital transformation on Magazine Luiza and contribute to the development of the digital transformation theory.Relevance/originality: Information technology (IT) offers opportunities for businesses to automatize operations and change business strategies (Henderson Venkatraman, 1999), but it is still not clear for every business how to embrace technology (Drnevich Croson, 2013).Methodology/approach: Using a case study, we analyzed the main aspects of the digital transformation of the Brazilian retailer Luiza Magazine, which achieved a 43,000% increase in its share price between 2015 and 2020, mainly due to innovations enabled by IT.Main results: We identify that some of the main aspects of the company's digital transformation have not been properly studied in the literature, such as the use of a bimodal IT structure and the use and interconnectivity between traditional and new technologies in innovative and even disruptive ways.Theoretical/methodological contributions: This study contributes to the literature by analyzing empirical data on the pillars that support the implementation of digital transformation in an organization, which can be used as input to theory development on digital transformation.Social/management contributions: The digital transformation of Magazine Luiza resulted in a large increase in the market value of the company. This, aligned with the company’s expansion and increasingly better results, suggests that technology has the potential to change the company’s strategy and lead to its success, corroborating Bharadwaj’s (2013) view.

Objective of the study: To explain the characteristics and dynamics of resources and recombinations associated with developing products with low and high novelty.Methodology/Approach: The method was an integrative review of the literature on recombinant innovation. It included a creative synthesis that resulted in a theoretical model. Originality/Relevance: The research addresses topics the literature neglects, like explaining which resources and recombinations and why could relate to high or low product novelty.Main results: Certain features of resources (i.e., heterogeneity, specificity, accessibility) with high and low levels may differently influence costs, variety, and frequency of recombinations and, in turn, product novelty. To develop highly novel products, tangible resources, and internally produced new resources may be essential, as knowledge by itself may not be sufficient.Theoretical contributions: Different resource characteristics and their influence on recombinations may help explain whether a product will have low or high novelty. By going beyond the novel recombinations, the research expands the literature's understanding of recombinations and product novelty.Managerial contributions: Companies could assess ex ante which degree of product novelty besides types and costs of recombinations would result from their pools of resources. This assessment would make innovation more efficient for companies with fewer resources, like may occur in emerging markets.

The International Journal of Innovation: IJI has been making some changes in recent years and, therefore, increasingly improving its content. These are transformations that would not be possible without the incessant collaboration of the entire IJI team. Ther are always tireless and impeccable. It would not be possible without all the articles submitted by the authors who believe and choose the IJI for their publications. It would not be possible either, without the reviewers who contribute with a lot of dedication, spending their time and knowledge on improving the articles to publish the IJI. We are immensely grateful to everyone! Special thanks to UNINOVE, who have always supported and continue to support IJI.At the end of 2021, we would like to present some data and information that enable readers, authors, and reviewers to follow the evolution of the IJI. We remain dedicated to raising the bar for the IJI. IJI is in the main databases: Dialnet, EBSCO, ERIHPLUS, Latindex, ProQuest, Redalyc, Redib, Spell, Web of Science and Zeitschriften Datenbank. It is classified in stratum B1 of the new QUALIS/CAPES proposal. It is published every four months (January-April; May-August; September-December) and accepts submissions in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, and published in English only.The International Journal of Innovation: IJI's mission is to serve as a vehicle for the periodic publication of scientific and technological works in innovation with a focus on emerging markets, which study individuals, organizations, ecosystems, and policies. The journal's topics of interest focusing on emerging markets are Innovative Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Learning, Innovation and Sustainability, Internationalization of Innovation, Innovation Systems, Emerging Themes of Innovation, and Digital Transformation. As we have already mentioned in another editorial comment, the IJI accepts scientific articles, technology articles, perspectives, and reviews, in addition to the editorial comment.We now present some data from IJI submissions for this year, 2021 (Table 1). Table 1Submissions to the IJIWorks submitted87Rejections65%Acceptance35% Eighty-seven works were submitted to the IJI, of which 65% were rejected and 35% were approved. With these numbers, we observe that rejection is still high. The rejection happens; most of the time, in the desk-reject the editors perform that. The reasons are: a) the submitted works are not following the scope of the IJI; b) the submitted works do not meet the minimum requirements for a publication and are not considered to proceed to a peer review and blind.When articles move to the stage of blind and peer review, the number of rejections gets smaller. Generally, works are rejected at this stage when the authors do not comply with the evaluators' recommendations.

国际创新杂志:IJI近年来一直在做一些改变,因此,它的内容越来越完善。如果没有整个IJI团队的持续合作,这些转变是不可能实现的。他们总是孜孜不倦,无可挑剔。如果没有所有相信并选择IJI作为出版物的作者提交的文章,这是不可能的。这也是不可能的,如果没有审稿人贡献了大量的奉献精神,花费他们的时间和知识来改进文章以发布IJI。我们非常感谢大家!特别感谢UNINOVE,它一直并将继续支持IJI。在2021年底,我们希望提供一些数据和信息,使读者、作者和审稿人能够跟随IJI的发展。我们将继续致力于提高IJI的标准。IJI的主要数据库包括:Dialnet、EBSCO、ERIHPLUS、Latindex、ProQuest、Redalyc、Redib、Spell、Web of Science和Zeitschriften Datenbank。它被归类为新的QUALIS/CAPES提案的B1层。每四个月出版一次(1月至4月;五月到八月;9月至12月),接受葡萄牙语、英语和西班牙语的投稿,并仅以英语出版。国际创新杂志:IJI的使命是作为一个工具,定期出版科技创新作品,重点关注新兴市场,研究个人,组织,生态系统和政策。该杂志关注的新兴市场主题包括创新创业、创新与学习、创新与可持续性、创新国际化、创新系统、创新新兴主题和数字化转型。正如我们在另一篇社论中已经提到的,IJI除了社论评论外,还接受科学文章、技术文章、观点和评论。我们现在展示IJI今年2021年提交的一些数据(表1)。表1 IJI提交的作品提交87件作品被拒绝65%接受35% IJI提交了87件作品,其中65%被拒绝,35%被批准。根据这些数字,我们观察到拒绝率仍然很高。拒绝发生了;大多数情况下,在办公桌上拒绝编辑执行。原因是:a)提交的作品不符合IJI的范围;B)提交的作品不符合发表的最低要求,不考虑进行同行评审和盲审。当文章进入盲审和同行评议阶段时,被拒论文的数量就会减少。一般来说,当作者不遵守审稿人的建议时,作品在这一阶段被拒绝。我们的目的是在审稿人和作者的帮助下,不断提高提交文章的质量,增加IJI的出版物数量。参赛作品来自不同的国家。在2021年,我们有如下的情况(表2)。表2提交给国际文学协会的作品-按国家分类,国家提交的作品巴西59阿根廷1哥伦比亚1古巴1阿尔及利亚2印度尼西亚2印度3约旦1斯里兰卡1墨西哥1马来西亚1尼日利亚3葡萄牙2沙特阿拉伯3突尼斯1土耳其1乌克兰1越南2南非1total87提交的最重要的作品来自巴西作者,但在其他国家之间分布均衡。我们很高兴IJI被认为有可能为来自我们大陆和其他大陆不同国家的作者提供服务。我们希望增加外国提交作品及其出版物的数量。我们认为,由于环境的多样性,这一行动对学术界很重要。IJI依靠评估人员的宝贵可用性,我们知道他们必须奉献宝贵的时间来帮助我们改进我们的工作。我们的评估时间仍然很高,高达98天。影响这个截止日期的原因有:a)审稿人对缺乏经验的研究人员要求非常高,导致评估反复,直到他们达到文章的预期质量;B)年中和年底的假期会稍微推迟评估;C)评估者也把他们的时间分配到全年的学术活动评估上。由于这些原因,作品的出版也受到了影响。我们花了122天的时间来发表这些文章。我们想与读者分享的另一个有趣的信息是IJI的注册用户数量。IJI有1270个注册用户,包括作者、审稿人和读者。在2021年的最后一年,有534个新用户。这让我们非常高兴,因为用户数量几乎翻了一番。这一行动让我们希望有更多的作品提交,从而有更多的优质作品发表。 我们的目标是改进和使IJI成为一个在学术和实践环境中更有影响力的期刊。在大家的共同努力下,我们将提高评价水平,显著提高发表的作品。我们希望带来有助于巴西和世界其他国家科学的相关内容。我们感谢大家在IJI的成长历程中给予的帮助和支持!

Objective of the study: Although many e-commerce startups have been established in recent years, there is a high rate of business failure in start-up community. In addition, e-commerce in Vietnam is still at a beginning stage with many potentials and risks. The research aims to find impact factors which lead to the success of e-commerce startups in Vietnam.Methodology/approach: The qualitative method was applied to identify appropriate measurement scales. Then, the quantitative questionnaire survey was leveraged to test the research framework based on data from local e-commerce startups.Originality/Relevance: This research focuses on evaluating the impact of founder factors, e-service factors, and external factors on the success of startups in Vietnam.Main results: Research findings show that four factors have significant contribution to e-commerce startups’ success including risk-taking propensity, achievement orientation, reliability of e-service quality, and e-networking. Among the four, risk-taking propensity is the most contributed factor in e-commerce startups’ success.Theoretical/methodological contributions: The study helps to test the measurement scales and contributes an empirical study regarding to the success of startups in a developing country like Vietnam.Social/management contributions: Managerial implications for e-commerce incubators, entrepreneurs, and government are also recommended to improve the success rate of e-commerce startups in Vietnam.

Objective of the study: This empirical research tests the direct and indirect impact of creativity on entrepreneurial intention, by applying the theory of planned behavior (TPB) as the underpinning framework.Methodology/approach: Quantitative research was conducted through a survey of 703 undergraduate students in Vietnam. Structural equation modeling with Amos version 23 was used to test the theoretical model.Originality/Relevance: Creativity is assumed to be a common characteristic of entrepreneurs and a prerequisite for innovation and entrepreneurship, but the findings on the influence of creativity on entrepreneurship intention are inconsistent in literature. This research uses a mediator effect to explain this inconsistency and focuses on the direct and indirect impact of creativity on entrepreneurship intention in an Asian emerging country.Main results: Analytical results show that creativity has no significant direct effect on entrepreneurial intention. Rather, it has an indirect effect on entrepreneurial intention through three determinants (attitude, subjective norms, and behavioral control).Theoretical/methodological contributions: The study provides empirical evidence to confirm the importance of attitude, subjective norms, and behavioral control, which together fully mediate the impact of creativity on entrepreneurial intention.Social/management contributions: These results have several implications for promoting entrepreneurship in university students.
研究目的:本实证研究以计划行为理论为支撑框架,检验创造力对创业意向的直接和间接影响。方法/方法:通过对703名越南本科生的调查进行定量研究。采用Amos version 23进行结构方程建模,对理论模型进行检验。独创性/关联性:创造力被认为是企业家的共同特征,是创新和创业的先决条件,但文献中关于创造力对创业意愿影响的研究结果并不一致。本研究采用中介效应来解释这种不一致性,并着重研究创造力对亚洲新兴国家创业意向的直接和间接影响。主要结果:分析结果表明,创造力对创业意向没有显著的直接影响。相反,它通过三个决定因素(态度、主观规范和行为控制)间接影响创业意图。理论/方法贡献:本研究提供了实证证据,证实了态度、主观规范和行为控制的重要性,它们共同充分中介了创造力对创业意向的影响。社会/管理贡献:这些结果对促进大学生创业有几点启示。

Objective: Develop and apply a game to facilitate the use of design thinking for innovation.Method: The construction of the game was based upon the Constructivism Theory. The game was developed following the steps of: (i) understanding the target audience and the context; (ii) defining learning objectives; (iii) structuring the experience; (iv) identifying resources and applying gamification elements; (v) evaluation. Originality/Relevance: Design Thinking emerges as an alternative to improve the innovation process in companies. To facilitate this innovation process, this paper presents a game, through its development and application, based on the principles and stages of Design Thinking, focusing on difficulties of its implementation.Results: The game provides an iterative passage through all stages of the design thinking, giving a holistic view of the process, starting with a deep understanding of the problem, and coming to a design solution.Social / management contributions: The results of the game application have shown its potential to: (i) ease teamwork, avoiding negative discussions and providing active participation from all students; (ii) lead to insight generation in a comprehensible way, making clear the difference between insights and ideas; (iii) simplify the use of inspiring methods and techniques (such as Persona, Empathy Map and Napkin Pitch); (iv) develop creative confidence; (v) provide a pleasant and motivating learning environment for collaborative multidisciplinary work.Theoretical/Methodological contributions: The game provides a method for building serious games and the game as a method of applying Design Thinking for Innovation.

Objective of the study: Analyze how Horizontal Innovation enables a company to produce radical and incremental innovations, making it ambidextrous.Methodology/approach: The research is a case study at a mature Brazilian company that puts Horizontal Innovation based on its Employee Suggestion System (ESS) into practice. A total of 18 interviews were conducted, including: all 4 directors and all 10 managers of the organization, in addition to 2 coordinators and 2 researchers.Originality/Relevance: The paper creates and defines the concept of Horizontal Innovation: a type of innovation that originates from all employees, usually stemming from an ESS. The study shows, based on continual ESS operations, how a company can achieve ambidexterity and systematically produce incremental, radical products and processes.Main results: ESS produces radical innovations as well as incremental ones, although the latter occur more frequently, and lead to Horizontal Innovations. The systematic search for Horizontal Innovations paves the way for a company to become ambidextrous, promoting, with the same competence, these two types of innovation.Theoretical/methodological contributions: The study contributes to the debate that defends the viability of innovative ambidexterity, and to new insights that clarify how a culture that stimulates ambidexterity can influence the ambidextrous behavior of employees through Horizontal InnovationPractical implications: A new type of innovation is proposed and described, reinforcing the value of an ESS as an important management tool. The case enables comparisons and contrasts with others for best practices benchmarking.

Objective: To carry out a mapping of studies on innovation and public policies, presenting an overview of the scientific discussion on the topic to suggest proposals for future studies.Design / methodology / approach: A bibliometric study, through exploratory factor analysis, with the objective of identifying the path that the phenomenon takes. For this, we use the techniques of citation, co-citation and bibliographic coupling.Originality: Given the economic, social and technological importance of innovation, public policies appear as engines of the development of innovation, thus reinforcing the need to identify unexplored paths through the mapping of studies on the theme to identify unexplored paths.Results: We identified the basis on which the theme studied was developed. Thus, three factors were observed: Economic Development, Innovation Ecosystems and State Participation. In the coupling analysis, we identified four factors, namely: Entrepreneurship, Changes in Public Policies, Networks and Clusters and Knowledge Source. Looking to the future, some study trends were presented, highlighting a new research agenda.Theoretical and methodological contributions: We present some study trends on innovation and public policies, warranting a new research agenda.Management contributions: This research enables managers and decision makers to understand the aspects regarding the theme, so that they can develop strategic innovation actions with the support of public policies.

Objective of the study: The objectives of this study were to describe the strategy and the innovation results from an idea generation program (IGP) of a Brazilian bank.Methodology: The study is predominantly descriptive; the method is the in-depth case study, and the data analysis was performed through content analysis.Originality/Relevance: The IGP's implementation stage is critical due to the need for financial resources, people, and time. An IGP can generate not only incremental technological innovations but also boost the innovation culture. Innovations developed from an IGP can be effective in facing competition from fintechs and digital transformation.Main results: The IGP's strategy is well-founded, as the result of 14 years of experience. However, there is still no clear strategy for measuring the impact of the implemented innovations. The IGP boosted both incremental technological (product, services, and process) and innovation culture. It has generated financial and non-financial results, and it predominantly follows the eastern model, recognizing employees’ ideas with non-financial rewards.Theoretical/methodological contributions: An IGP is designable in three main stages: ideation, in which all employees can participate, giving ideas for solving the problems indicated by the boards; selection, when a selection board chooses the ideas with the most significant potential for implementation and generating results; and implementation, when the selected ideas are transformed into innovations.Social /management contributions: A bank’s idea generation program is effective to boost technological innovation and innovation culture, which allow to face the fintechs and other essential players in the financial market, as well as to promote internal engagement and manage digital transformation, and deal with the VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) scenario.
