ABSTRACT In the context of agricultural digitalisation in China, TikTok is becoming widely popular in rural areas and a novel way for agricultural technology extension. Based on survey data on 770 rice and wheat farmers in Hubei and Henan provinces in China, the endogenous switching probit model was used to verify the influence of TikTok usage on the adoption of Green Control Techniques (GCT). We found that farmers’ adoption probability of GCT will be significantly increased by 9.3–11.8% with their use of TikTok to browse GCT content. This shows that TikTok is an effective way to extend GCT. Furthermore, TikTok can complement traditional offline training as a digital agriculture extension for small-scale, older, and non-plain-area farmers, who are often of unequal status and are unable to obtain government agricultural extension services. These findings evaluate the effectiveness of short video software as a digital agriculture extension platform, which contributes to the rapid and effective extension of GCT. It is suggested that more GCT online promotion platforms should be built and applied in China.

ABSTRACT It is important to examine how start-up innovation is emerging in the information society. The media is a window through which innovation is highlighted in which fields. We conducted a comparative study with North America to comparatively analyze how startup innovation in East Asia appeared. This study used a set of computer analysis methods including Dirichlet-multinomial regression Topic Model and Topic network analysis. News articles from 2000 to 2019 were collected from East Asia and North America and were analysed on the topic of start-ups. The results indicated that the discourse of start-ups from East Asia and North America in the 2000s and 2010s showed distinctly different trends. The East Asia media changed its focus from an innovation economy to an emerging industry: mobility & energy, while the North American media showed a change from revenue sources to the benefit of innovation. In the discourse of start-ups in East Asia, the government-centred innovative economy was emphasised in the 2000s, and expectations for emerging industries such as mobility and energy increased after the 2010s. Meanwhile, in the discourse of start-ups in North America, revenue sources were emphasised in the 2000s, and the proportion of beneficiaries of innovation increased after the 2010s.

ABSTRACT The last decade has witnessed numerous cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&As) undertaken by emerging market multinational enterprises (EMNEs). Only a few EMNEs achieve co-creation with the acquired partner by mobilising and enhancing their knowledge resources. This paper centres on how post-M&A co-creation is achieved and what its impacts are on the innovation output and market performance of firms. We employed an in-depth longitudinal case study of the acquisition of Volvo Cars by Geely, supplementing the case study with patent portfolio analysis and business analysis. We link innovation and cross-border M&A literature to address co-creation post-M&A. The findings showed how the high level of freedom given to the acquired firm allowed it to preserve innovation capacity and, later, successfully integrate with the acquirer. The patent portfolio analysis demonstrates that the firms’ innovation outputs became more similar over time, demonstrating the successful knowledge integration achieved in the case.

ABSTRACT Based on the micro data of China’s heavily polluting enterprises from 2010 to 2019, this article analyzes the synergistic effect of government subsidies and executive incentives on green innovation. It is found that government subsidies significantly promote the output of innovation results, and this effect has a time lag. Executive compensation incentives will weaken the current policy effect, and the benefit convergence effect produced by equity incentives can reverse executives’ short-sighted thinking. Although the current impact of equity incentives is not significant, it can play a substantial synergistic effect in the first and second lag periods. It is proved that the green innovation of heavy pollution enterprises can not only consider the impact of exogenous policy but ignore the perfection of internal governance mechanism.

ABSTRACT Many researchers are interested in the relationship between leaders and their followers, whether in the technology or nontechnology sector. However, the moderating factors of the relationship between leadership types and followers’ performance have been underexplored. This study investigates the moderating role of a leader’s narcissism in the relationship between leadership types (transformational and transactional) and follower performance in technology and nontechnology industries. We analyze the results of a survey of 46 chief executive officers and 205 followers at 46 large companies in Korea, of which 30 are in the technology sector and 16 are in nontechnology industries. The results show that a leader’s narcissism mitigates the positive relationship between transformational leadership and followers’ performance. Moreover, a leader’s narcissism strengthens the negative relationship between transactional leadership and followers’ performance. When industry type is considered, this effect remains evident only in the technology sector. These findings suggest that the moderating role of narcissism in the relationship between leadership and follower outcomes can be industry-specific. The results contribute to theoretical discussions about the relationship between leadership types and followers’ performance and its moderating factors.

ABSTRACT The aim of the paper is to analyse the extent to which digital payments in India have diffused since its introduction around 2010. The paper measures diffusion in terms of the rates of growth of digital payments in both volume and value terms and then employing the sectoral system of innovation framework to identify the factors that are crucial for its faster diffusion. The paper shows that despite its existence for more than a decade, digital payments have not diffused in value terms. The main factor identified for its slower diffusion is a decline in the rate of growth of real per capita income.

ABSTRACT Technology-sourcing mergers and acquisitions (M&As) has become an important instrument for enterprises to acquire new knowledge and build technological ability. To achieve technology innovation improvement, the choice of integration strategy is vitally important. The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between integration and innovation in technology-sourcing M&As. To verify our hypotheses, we conduct a comparative empirical study based on the data of overseas and domestic M&As of Chinese enterprises from 2000 to 2019. We find that for overseas M&As, the influence of integration degree on technology innovation depends on the resource characteristics of the two merging parties. In cases of high resource similarity and low resource complementarity, the degree of integration positively affects technology innovation, while in cases of low resource similarity and high resource complementarity, the degree of integration negatively affects technology innovation. In comparison, for domestic M&As, the degree of integration positively affects technology innovation.

ABSTRACT Regional trade agreements are vigorously debated, especially since the effects of trade on economic development is uncertain. Since East Asian trade occurs mostly within the region, we examine how trade structures might affect economic growth and provide directionality. The role of export composition is known to affect the rate of growth of emerging economies depending on trade structure similarity. This paper analyses the role of export baskets in the economic growth of developing countries in Southeast Asia, and tests the hypothesis that similarity of export structures leads to economic catch-up by providing directionality. The empirical analysis uses export data of East Asian countries to measure the bilateral similarities in export structures between the past and the present trade structures of Southeast Asian countries and comparing them withNortheast Asian countries that became wealthier earlier and Southeast Asian countries that tend to be latecomers. We find that the similarity of export structure provides directionality based on the overall competitiveness of a country's export sectors. This study fills the previous research gap of structural change from the perspectives of catch-up and directionality, by analysing the linkage between export structure convergence and economic catch-up, and linkage between export structure diversification and path-dependence.

ABSTRACT Based on the data of listed companies in Chinese A stock market between 2011 and 2020, This paper discusses the empirical analysis of digital finance on enterprise dual innovation by adopting the mediating effect model and threshold regression model, and estimates the mediation and threshold effects of absorptive capacity among them. Our study find that the development of digital finance exerts a significant positive effect on enterprise dual innovation. Compared with exploitative innovation, digital finance exhibits a greater promoting effect on exploratory innovation. Absorptive capacity displays a greater mediating effect between digital finance and exploratory innovation, and exploitative innovation reveals a significant positive effect on exploratory innovation. There is non-linear relationship between digital finance and corporate dual innovation, and the promotion effect shows a leaping growth pattern and significant threshold effect. The heterogeneity analysis from the perspective of property rights and enterprise size shows that the incentive effect of digital finance development on enterprises dual innovation is mainly reflected in non-state-owned enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises. This research expands the relevant theories of corporate innovation and digital finance, to provides empirical evidence for corporate decision-making.

ABSTRACT In the COVID-19 era, science, technology and innovation (STI) dynamics witness fundamental changes as the global expansion of government mission-oriented STI policies emphasises political stability, environmental sustainability and social inclusiveness. How does this global directionality affect China, a country known for its strong leadership in setting strategic STI policy directions? By performing a content analysis of 1,268 STI policies issued by the Chinese government before and after the pandemic started in 2020, we document the country’s latest attempts of top–down design of STI dynamics that use import and export barriers to restrict the flows of STI activities while crack down on the country’s effervescent STI scene to control what Chinese enterprises see and do, at both the national and local government levels. This increasing protectionist and interventionist tendency is a legacy of the U.S.-China trade war era when China was forced to ensure that its domestic technological progress could continue independently of the global market. However, to achieve such independence, we suggest that the country needs to restructure its demand-side, supply-side and environmental-side STI policy instruments to create a more efficient market space for techno-entrepreneurship, as it is hard to shore up political control without damping bottom–up entrepreneurial vigour.
