Entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs) are a growing focus for policymakers and academics seeking to foster innovation and economic growth. While existing literature has analysed various aspects of EEs, limited research has examined how public policies can contribute to their development. Through a single-case study, this study addresses this gap by analysing the role of a regional government in overcoming the challenges of building an EE. We explore the creation and development of the Biscay Startup Bay (BSB) EE in Bilbao City (Bizkaia, Basque Country, Spain). We describe the unique framework that they crafted and implemented, highlighting the key attributes that generate value for all stakeholders. This single-case study of the BSB EE in Spain offers valuable insights for policymakers seeking to design and implement successful Open Innovation-driven approaches to creating and developing regional EEs.
对于寻求促进创新和经济增长的政策制定者和学者来说，创业生态系统（EEs）日益成为关注的焦点。虽然现有文献分析了 EE 的各个方面，但对公共政策如何促进 EE 发展的研究却很有限。本研究通过一项单一案例研究，分析了一个地区政府在克服建设环境企业的挑战中所扮演的角色，从而弥补了这一空白。我们探讨了毕尔巴鄂市（西班牙巴斯克地区比斯开亚）比斯开创业湾（BSB）创业企业的创建和发展。我们描述了他们精心设计和实施的独特框架，强调了为所有利益相关者创造价值的关键属性。这项关于西班牙毕尔巴鄂创业园区的单一案例研究为决策者设计和实施成功的开放式创新驱动方法以创建和发展地区创业园区提供了宝贵的见解。

This study examines the multifaceted impacts of digital innovations on organisational structures and stakeholders ‘commitment. The integration of digital technologies, including information technologies, IoT, AI, AR/VR, blockchain, robotics, and automation, underscores the indispensable role of trust in contemporary business operations. Focusing on Italian manufacturing firms at the forefront of Industry 4.0 implementation, this research seeks to unravel the nuanced factors contributing to digital trust. A comprehensive framework, derived from an integrative literature review, categorises two distinct groups of factors influencing a firm's decision to establish digital trust. Employing a configurational approach, specifically Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), the joint impacts of multiple factors on digital trust levels are scrutinized, offering insights into how different elements synergise to trigger digital trust. This study aims to bridge existing gaps in understanding the intricate dynamics of trust within organisations undergoing digital transformation.

The cumulative stress to acknowledge environmental challenges bound businesses to embrace sustainable practices into their business operations. In Vietnamese context, green ventures are considered a key contributor, hence, play major part in transformative landscape. Therefore, the study finds an opportunity to explore the effectiveness of green knowledge management practices on the success of Vietnam's green ventures particularly in the presence of innovative practices and knowledge sharing behavior. Drawing upon Knowledge-Based Dynamic Capabilities View, the study extends the literature by exploring knowledge management through four dimensions namely are green knowledge creation, knowledge acquisition, knowledge application and knowledge storage in order to assess their collective impact on green ventures. The background of the research is embedded in the cruciality to build understanding that how Vietnamese manufacturing firms can have leverage on green knowledge management practices to achieve long-term sustainability. Results gauged through PLS-SEM model reveal that knowledge storage has a positive and significant impact on successful green ventures. Findings also reveal that innovative practices significantly mediate the relationship of knowledge creation and knowledge storage with successful green ventures. In addition to this, knowledge sharing behavior also mediates the association of knowledge application, knowledge storage and knowledge creation with successful green ventures. The study adds comprehensive knowledge explaining that knowledge sharing culture amplifies the benefits crafted from knowledge management practices, making organizations more innovative and resilient. Despite insightful findings, the study has limitation in terms of small sample size, hence, future studies are recommended to expand the sample size to generalize the findings in a broader context.

Entrepreneurial success has become a necessary element of economic survival due to the current economic conditions and uncertainty worldwide. Thus, in this research, we explore green social behavior's impact on social, technological, and business innovation in a sample of Vietnamese manufacturing firms. Results of a PLS methodology reveal that green social behavior positively impacts the three aspects of innovation. The research aims to find the mediating and moderating aspects of social, technological, and business innovation and knowledge management. The outcomes confirm that only social and business (excluding technological) innovation effectively mediate the links between green social behavior and entrepreneurial success whereas knowledge management is a significant moderator. However, knowledge management insignificantly moderates the relationship between technological innovation and entrepreneurial success. This research guides policymakers in making policies related to entrepreneurial success using green social behavior, innovation, and knowledge management.

The optimization of sustainable smart cities is an essential endeavor in modern urban development, aiming to enhance the quality of life for citizens while minimizing environmental impacts. Big data plays a critical role in achieving these goals by enabling the collection, analysis, and utilization of vast amounts of information to make informed decisions. However, implementing big data in smart cities faces significant barriers, including data-sharing challenges, technical limitations, and organizational non-cooperation. Addressing these barriers is crucial for the successful deployment of smart city initiatives. We propose a novel approach to tackle these challenges using the Improved Zero-Sum Grey Game (IZSGG) theory and the Grey Best-Worst Method (G-BWM). This method comprehensively analyzes the risks and uncertainties associated with big data implementation in smart cities. By modeling the interactions between different stakeholders and their competing interests, IZSGG theory provides a framework to identify optimal strategies for data management. The G-BWM further refines these strategies by evaluating and prioritizing the various factors influencing big data utilization. Our findings reveal that the worst-case scenario for a smart city involves the simultaneous occurrence of several risks, all of which have positive values, indicating their potential to significantly disrupt smart city operations. The specific risks identified include: the sharing of data and information, the collection and recording of data, technical limitations and challenges associated with technology, the non-cooperation of organizations, and issues related to the interpretation of complex information. The technical barrier is the most significant with a weight of , indicating its critical role compared to other barriers. Within this category, the sub-barrier of technical and technological constraints is particularly critical, with a weight of 0.39267375.

This article investigates the critical role of Digital Literacy (DL) in shaping the adoption and use of ChatGPT. As advanced AI tools rapidly integrate into daily life, it is essential for both policymakers and technology developers to understand the factors driving their mainstream adoption. DL was quantified using the Internet Skills Scale (ISS) tool, applied on a scale of 0 to 10 across six areas of ChatGPT application: general use, testing possibilities, entertainment, fulfilling work and school tasks, obtaining new knowledge, and companionship during moments of solitude. The study employs non-parametric difference tests, relational analyses, and binomial logistic regression models, analysing data from a statistically representative sample (N = 1,025) of the Czech population. The findings reveal significant relationships between DL and five of the six areas. Higher DL levels correlate with using ChatGPT for testing, entertainment, and acquiring new knowledge. Conversely, lower DL levels are linked to using ChatGPT as a companion during moments of solitude. Notably, no significant relationship was found between DL and using ChatGPT for work or educational purposes. These results suggest that as DL improves, the use of AI tools like ChatGPT will diversify across different contexts. The study highlights the need for targeted DL programs to enhance AI adoption, reduce digital inequalities, and ensure that advanced technologies are accessible to all population segments.

This study examines whether auditors are innovating in their audit reports by incorporating material environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues from companies' sustainability reports into the Key Audit Matters (KAMs) section. Additionally, it assesses whether ESG performance influences this inclusion. Content analysis was conducted on the materiality matrices of sustainability reports and KAMs disclosures for 20 Colombian companies listed on the COLCAP index during the period 2019–2021. Using logistic regression analysis, we examined relationships between ESG scores and KAMs disclosure of material ESG issues. The results obtained show that auditors strongly emphasise governance but tend to overlook social and environmental issues within their KAMs. Furthermore, higher governance scores increase the likelihood of ESG consideration in the KAMs, while lower profitability and leverage also lead to greater ESG inclusion in the KAMs. This pioneering study offers an initial analysis of whether material ESG issues arising from sustainability reports also appear in KAMs disclosures, thus addressing a significant literature gap. The study findings suggest that auditors need appropriate guidance and enhanced competencies to perform holistic ESG risk evaluation, as the acceptance of integrated sustainability reporting is gaining momentum globally.

Digital transformation is changing the innovation landscape, not only of firms but also at the macro level. This study aims to analyse how configurations of European Union countries’ innovation inputs that lead to innovation outputs are affected by the levels of national digital transformation. A novel configurational moderation approach is adopted to assess the impact of digital transformation on the 27 EU countries’ national systems of innovation (NSI). Results showed that the presence of all innovation inputs is a sufficient configuration for the presence of high innovation outputs, while three different configurations were found to be sufficient for its absence. The configurational moderation analysis revealed that digital transformation effectively moderates the arrangement of innovation inputs leading to the presence of high innovation outputs, where the human capital and research pillar loses its importance. The results of this study can be understood as benchmarks, against which less innovative countries may compare and develop their NSI. They also shed light on the specific configurations followed by each EU country in achieving innovation outputs, which could be an input for Union-based policies directed at the development of concrete innovation pillars in specific Member States. Furthermore, findings enlighten international business managers about the strengths and weaknesses of EU countries’ NSI, which may aid them in their internationalisation decisions.

In an increasingly competitive business world the ability of a company to build a favorable reputation is an essential factor for its success or failure, especially in digital environments. The objective of this study is to analyze what factors affect the online reputation of companies in the agri-food sector, taking the Spanish wine sector as a case study. The methodology used to achieve this objective was Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), in its fuzzy sets variant (fsQCA). The results show that those companies more oriented towards the digital market and with a higher level of communication of their Corporate Social Responsibility practices have a higher reputation among stakeholders. This advantage is increased if in addition they are larger companies or have a larger Governing Board.
