The societal impact of research increasingly extends beyond commercialisation and policy uptake, engaging broader publics through cultural and creative practices. This special issue explores how literature and the arts open alternative pathways for knowledge transfer, public engagement, and societal relevance. We introduce the LASIR model, which conceptualises two complementary mechanisms: direct collaborations between researchers and creative practitioners, and the cultural representation of science and technology in literary and artistic narratives. The contributions examine cases ranging from science-theatre and art–science policy programmes to speculative fiction shaping public imaginaries of artificial intelligence. Together, these contributions advance understanding of how creative practices intersect with research impact, demonstrating how literature and the arts serve as sites where research is co-produced, societal meaning is negotiated, and the cultural legitimacy and practical relevance of science are constructed. The issue calls for expanded innovation policy and research evaluation frameworks that fully recognise creative practices as integral to knowledge valorisation and research impact, and for the development of dedicated funding instruments and evaluation approaches to support them.

研究的社会影响日益超越商业化和政策吸收，通过文化和创造性实践吸引更广泛的公众。本期特刊探讨了文学和艺术如何为知识转移、公众参与和社会关联开辟另一种途径。我们介绍了LASIR模型，它概念化了两个互补的机制：研究人员和创造性从业者之间的直接合作，以及文学和艺术叙事中科学技术的文化表现。这些贡献研究了从科学戏剧和艺术科学政策计划到塑造公众对人工智能想象的投机小说的案例。总之，这些贡献促进了对创造性实践如何与研究影响交叉的理解，展示了文学和艺术如何作为研究共同产生、社会意义协商以及科学的文化合法性和实践相关性构建的场所。这个问题要求扩大创新政策和研究评估框架，充分认识到创造性实践是知识增值和研究影响的组成部分，并要求开发专门的资助工具和评估方法来支持它们。

This study fills the crucial crossover between Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) actions and Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) in the transformed environment within the evolving contexts of Industry 5.0 and Society 5.0. Based on field research conducted in various Greek regions, the analysis examines the strategies of adaptation to climate change and compares them based on the use of sustainable technological innovations. It connects climate resilience strategies with governance, stakeholder involvement, and public policy innovation guided by ambidextrous sustainability principles in CPS. It presents the notion of ambidextrous cybersecurity, combined with the Quintuple Helix Innovation (QHI) framework, as it has the potential to drive the sustainable development of CPS. Industry and Society 5.0 must be balanced between technological advancement and human-centered focus. The QHI framework reveals the joint contributions from government, industry, academia, civil society, and the environment when transitioning into the new era. The analysis proposes strategic interventions that would ensure an optimal alignment of the development of CPS in Industry 5.0 and Society 5.0 towards CCA endeavours, and thereby forward future sustainable progression. These insights have significant implications for policymakers, firms, and academics concerned with sustainability transitions, technological change, and economic development.

本研究填补了在工业5.0和社会5.0不断发展的背景下，转型环境中气候变化适应（CCA）行动和网络物理系统（CPS）之间的关键交叉。基于在希腊不同地区进行的实地研究，该分析考察了适应气候变化的策略，并根据可持续技术创新的使用对它们进行了比较。它将气候适应战略与治理、利益相关者参与和公共政策创新联系起来，并以CPS的双向可持续性原则为指导。它提出了双灵巧网络安全的概念，结合了五元螺旋创新（QHI）框架，因为它有可能推动CPS的可持续发展。工业和社会5.0必须在技术进步和以人为本之间取得平衡。QHI框架揭示了政府、行业、学术界、民间社会和环境在向新时代过渡时的共同贡献。分析提出了战略干预措施，以确保工业5.0和社会5.0中CPS的发展与CCA努力的最佳结合，从而推动未来的可持续发展。这些见解对关注可持续转型、技术变革和经济发展的政策制定者、企业和学者具有重要意义。

This study adds to the ongoing discussion regarding the brokerage activities of firms within a cluster. Considering the cluster as a network metaphor derived from the relationships established among actors within it, the existing literature confirms that a firm's location in the network is a strategic factor. However, the literature also argues that overly central positions can have negative or locking effects, so firms must expand their relational horizons outside the cluster to explore new knowledge. This activity, which may seem to reduce the firm's connection to its local network, may increase its value as a knowledge broker. In turn, this brokerage capacity is enhanced by other factors, such as absorptive capacity and links to local supporting institutions. To explore these research questions, an empirical investigation was conducted within the Valencian cluster of the Toy Valley. The results reveal that extra-cluster links benefit the firm's brokerage activity. They also show that meeting certain levels of absorptive capacity and local supporting institution connectivity is necessary for this dynamic to occur. Finally, we consider that this paper makes interesting contributions to the open debate in the literature on the value of knowledge brokers in networks or clusters.

这项研究增加了正在进行的关于集群内公司经纪活动的讨论。将集群视为一种网络隐喻，源于集群内行为者之间建立的关系，现有文献证实了企业在网络中的位置是一个战略因素。然而，文献也认为，过于中心的位置可能会产生负面或锁定效应，因此企业必须将其关系视野扩展到集群之外，以探索新知识。这种活动可能会减少公司与当地网络的联系，但可能会增加其作为知识经纪人的价值。这种经纪能力又因吸收能力和与当地支助机构的联系等其他因素而得到加强。为了探讨这些研究问题，我们在玩具谷的瓦伦西亚集群内进行了实证调查。结果表明，集群外联系有利于公司的经纪活动。它们还表明，达到一定水平的吸收能力和当地支持机构的连通性是实现这种动态的必要条件。最后，我们认为本文对网络或集群中知识经纪人价值的公开讨论做出了有趣的贡献。

Existing research has primarily focused on the instrumental attributes of Generative AI (Gen AI), such as its usefulness and usage patterns, in influencing employee creativity. However, there is a lack of systematic exploration of Gen AI attitude—defined as the degree of support and willingness to adopt Gen AI—and their underlying mechanisms in shaping creativity. Grounded in role theory, this study uncovers the dual effects of Gen AI attitude on creativity. On the one hand, Gen AI attitude can reduce creativity through increased role ambiguity. On the other hand, it can enhance creativity by facilitating task crafting. Furthermore, this study introduces creative self-efficacy as a moderating factor, revealing that it mitigates the negative impact of Gen AI attitude on creativity via role ambiguity while strengthening its positive effect through task crafting. These hypotheses are tested through two complementary studies. Study 1 employs a multi-wave survey (N = 591) and structural equation modeling to validate the proposed relationships. Study 2 utilizes a large language model-driven text analysis approach, using GPT to analyze 415 social media texts, further reinforcing the robustness of the findings. The results contribute to a deeper theoretical understanding of how Gen AI attitude shapes creativity, offering new insights into the intersection of technology-related attitudes and creativity.

现有的研究主要集中在生成式人工智能（Gen AI）的工具属性上，比如它在影响员工创造力方面的有用性和使用模式。然而，对新一代人工智能的态度（定义为支持和愿意采用新一代人工智能的程度）及其在塑造创造力方面的潜在机制缺乏系统的探索。本研究以角色理论为基础，揭示了Gen AI态度对创造力的双重影响。一方面，Gen AI态度会通过增加角色模糊性而降低创造力。另一方面，它可以通过促进任务制作来提高创造力。此外，本研究引入创造性自我效能作为调节因素，发现它通过角色模糊减轻了Gen AI态度对创造力的负面影响，同时通过任务制作增强了其积极作用。这些假设通过两个互补的研究得到验证。研究1采用多波测量（N = 591）和结构方程模型来验证所提出的关系。研究2采用了大型语言模型驱动的文本分析方法，使用GPT分析了415个社交媒体文本，进一步加强了研究结果的稳健性。这些结果有助于从理论上更深入地了解Gen AI态度如何塑造创造力，为技术相关态度和创造力的交集提供新的见解。

This study examines how individuals leverage social ties to gatekeepers to advance their knowledge into follow-on innovations within firms. In particular, we introduce the advantages of secondhand ties to gatekeepers, wherein individuals are indirectly connected to gatekeepers through an intermediary. We highlight that direct ties to gatekeepers offer legitimacy at the cost of political constraints, such as perceived favoritism or opportunism, whereas indirect ties mitigate such concerns but offer limited legitimacy due to greater social distance from gatekeepers. We argue that secondhand ties effectively balance these trade-offs. By borrowing legitimacy from the gatekeepers while reducing political constraints, knowledge from individuals with secondhand ties is more likely to be adopted and developed into follow-on innovations. Additionally, we propose that individuals rely more heavily on these social ties when their knowledge inherently lacks legitimacy and thus needs more social endorsements. Drawing on intrafirm networks for co-patenting activities, we explore the impact of social ties between gatekeepers—inventor TMT members—and individual inventors on follow-on innovations. Our study offers insights into why some knowledge gets stuck while other knowledge is successfully adopted and further developed within firms.

本研究考察了个人如何利用与看门人的社会关系，将他们的知识推进到公司内部的后续创新中。特别是，我们介绍了与看门人的二手关系的优势，其中个人通过中介间接地与看门人连接。我们强调，与看门人的直接联系以政治约束为代价提供合法性，例如感知到的偏袒或机会主义，而间接关系减轻了这些担忧，但由于与看门人的社会距离更大，因此提供有限的合法性。我们认为，二手关系有效地平衡了这些权衡。通过从看门人那里借用合法性，同时减少政治约束，拥有二手关系的个人的知识更有可能被采用，并发展成后续创新。此外，我们认为，当个人的知识本质上缺乏合法性，因此需要更多的社会认可时，他们会更依赖这些社会关系。利用共同专利活动的企业内部网络，我们探讨了看门人（发明者TMT成员）和个体发明者之间的社会关系对后续创新的影响。我们的研究揭示了为什么有些知识会停滞不前，而另一些知识会在企业内部被成功采用并进一步发展。

In an era where digital technology serves as a strategic emerging direction, this study aims to explore how industrial classification policy facilitates corporate digital innovation. Regarding China's Strategic Emerging Industries Classification (CSEIC) policy as a quasi-natural experiment, we use the difference-in-difference (DID) method and find that CSEIC has a significant and positive effect on digital innovation. We further find that CSEIC promotes exploratory digital innovation in state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and exploitative digital innovation in private-owned enterprises (POEs). The mechanism analysis suggests that in SOEs, the political arrangement and executives' political priority strengthen the positive relationship between CSEIC and exploratory digital innovation, while in POEs, the digital arrangement and executive priority can trigger the positive relationship between CSEIC and exploratory digital innovation. Based on the attention-based view (ABV), this paper provides a comprehensive understanding of how structural arrangement and selective focus match to leverage the influence of policy to innovation breakthrough in a specific attention situation.

在数字技术作为战略新兴方向的时代，本研究旨在探讨产业分类政策如何促进企业的数字创新。将中国战略性新兴产业分类（CSEIC）政策作为准自然实验，运用差分法（DID）发现，CSEIC对数字创新具有显著的正向影响。我们进一步发现，CSEIC促进了国有企业的探索性数字创新和民营企业的开发性数字创新。机制分析表明，在国有企业中，政治安排和高管优先级强化了企业内资投资与探索性数字创新的正向关系，而在民营企业中，数字安排和高管优先级可以触发企业内资投资与探索性数字创新的正向关系。本文基于注意基础观点（ABV），全面理解了在特定的关注情境下，结构安排与选择性焦点如何匹配，从而发挥政策对创新突破的影响。

The digitization of industrial ecosystems positions B2B industrial digital platforms as central to value co-creation and co-capture. While B2C platform governance is well-researched, few studies examine how manufacturing firms and platform providers collaboratively govern digital business models (DBMs) in B2B platform settings. Our study addresses this gap through a multiple case study of five platform providers and five B2B manufacturers, drawing on 33 semi-structured interviews and document analysis. We introduce the concept of dual orchestration—a governance approach in which platform providers and manufacturers jointly assume and adapt orchestration roles across DBM phases. We develop the Platform DBM Process Model (Figure 1), which illustrates how governance dynamics and relational mechanisms – transparency, reciprocity, commitment, proximity, and coopetition - enable dual orchestration through joint role adaptation. We present the Dual Orchestration Governance Framework for Industrial Platform DBMs (Figure 2), integrating DBM phases, relational issues, and governance mechanisms to theorize dual orchestration as a dynamic co-governance process. The study contributes to platform governance theory by specifying the structural and relational features of dual orchestration and by providing an empirically grounded account of its evolution.

工业生态系统的数字化将B2B工业数字平台定位为价值共同创造和共同获取的核心。虽然B2C平台治理研究得很好，但很少有研究考察制造企业和平台提供商如何在B2B平台设置中协同治理数字商业模式（DBMs）。我们的研究通过对五家平台提供商和五家B2B制造商的多案例研究，利用33次半结构化访谈和文件分析来解决这一差距。我们引入了双重编排的概念——一种治理方法，在这种方法中，平台提供商和制造商共同承担并调整跨DBM阶段的编排角色。我们开发了平台DBM流程模型（图1），它说明了治理动态和关系机制——透明度、互惠性、承诺、接近性和合作——如何通过联合角色适应实现双重编排。我们提出了工业平台DBMs的双编配治理框架（图2），它集成了DBM阶段、关系问题和治理机制，将双编配理论化为一个动态的共同治理过程。该研究通过指定双重编排的结构和关系特征，并通过提供其演变的经验基础描述，为平台治理理论做出了贡献。

This study investigates how firms reconfigure their ecosystems in response to the growing integration of artificial intelligence (AI). While many B2B platforms have embraced digital transformation (DT), few studies examine how ecosystems evolve post-DT, as AI becomes embedded in platforms to enable adaptive processes and offerings. Drawing on a systematic literature review, we develop an integrative framework that identifies three interrelated phases, reconfiguring, experimenting, and expanding, through which smartification unfolds. Each phase presents specific governance mechanisms, coordination challenges, and strategic tensions among ecosystem actors. We define smartification as the integration of AI to create autonomous, context-aware, and self-improving solutions that support the development of business models and strategies. Our findings contribute to the literature on B2B platform ecosystems by clarifying the structural, organizational, and governance transformations that underpin AI adoption.

本研究探讨了企业如何重新配置其生态系统，以应对人工智能（AI）的日益整合。虽然许多B2B平台已经接受了数字化转型（DT），但很少有研究考察生态系统在数字化转型后是如何演变的，因为人工智能被嵌入到平台中，以实现自适应流程和产品。在系统文献综述的基础上，我们开发了一个综合框架，确定了三个相互关联的阶段，即重新配置、实验和扩展，通过这些阶段，智能化得以展开。每个阶段都提出了特定的治理机制、协调挑战和生态系统参与者之间的战略紧张关系。我们将智能定义为人工智能的集成，以创建自主的、上下文感知的、自我改进的解决方案，支持商业模式和战略的发展。我们的发现通过阐明支撑人工智能采用的结构、组织和治理转型，为B2B平台生态系统的文献做出了贡献。

Digital orientation plays a key role in the competitiveness of firms, enhancing business processes and improving performance. In this paper, we examine how digital orientation affects innovative SMEs in terms of innovation and financial performance. Our analysis is based on an original panel data set of 250 innovative Italian SMEs over a period of 10 years, constructed using novel methods. We applied the Generalised Method of Moments, considering the curvilinear (inverted U-shaped) effect between businesses’ digital orientation and innovation and financial performance. The study finds support for the positive influence of digital orientation on financial performance, confirming the inverted U-shape, while results for innovation are contrary to the hypothesis raised. Our research provides insightful evidence of the complex relationship between digital orientation and different types of performance, contributing to the discussion on the IT paradox and highlighting a key managerial implication whereby innovative SMEs, rather than steadily increasing digital investment, should focus on optimising their digital assets to sustain both innovation and financial performance.

数字化导向在企业的竞争力、增强业务流程和提高绩效方面发挥着关键作用。在本文中，我们研究了数字化取向如何影响创新型中小企业的创新和财务绩效。我们的分析基于250家创新型意大利中小企业在10年期间的原始面板数据集，使用新颖的方法构建。我们应用了广义矩量法，考虑了企业数字化取向与创新和财务绩效之间的曲线（倒u形）效应。研究结果支持数字化取向对财务绩效的积极影响，证实了倒u型，而创新的结果与提出的假设相反。我们的研究为数字导向与不同类型绩效之间的复杂关系提供了深刻的证据，有助于讨论IT悖论，并强调了一个关键的管理含义，即创新型中小企业不应稳步增加数字投资，而应专注于优化其数字资产，以维持创新和财务绩效。
