Mathematical technologies are recognised as a key enabling factor for innovation and competitiveness in the Industry. Although Open Innovation enables innovation processes for companies, there is a lack of studies about the effectiveness of OI mechanisms for mathematical technologies transfer. We fill this gap by exploring Solver Brokerage as a suitable tool for fostering industry-research collaborations based on mathematical technologies. We present a single case study based on a project promoting the industrial transfer of mathematical technologies leveraging a Solver Brokerage approach. We critically discuss the weaknesses and strengths of this approach, sharing valuable contributions for both scholars and practitioners.
数学技术被认为是行业创新和竞争力的关键促成因素。虽然开放式创新能够促进企业的创新过程,但缺乏关于开放式创新机制在数学技术转移中的有效性的研究。我们通过探索求解器经纪作为促进基于数学技术的产学研合作的合适工具来填补这一空白。我们提出了一个基于一个项目的案例研究,该项目利用求解器经纪方法促进数学技术的产业转移。我们批判性地讨论了这种方法的优缺点,为学者和实践者分享了宝贵的贡献。

To deal with current market dynamics and complexity, organizations increasingly establish collaborative business models that enable value co-creation to achieve collective objectives. Practices of value negotiation are essential in developing these business models, enabling stakeholders to balance individual versus collective value capture. This calls for structured guidance on information exchange between stakeholders, operationalizing how stakeholders can achieve trade-offs, and how they may share but also withhold information during negotiations. Following the design science research methodology, we propose a method to structure value negotiation within collaborative business models, and apply it to a bike-sharing business scenario, evaluating its validity and utility.
为了处理当前的市场动态和复杂性,组织越来越多地建立协作业务模型,使价值共同创造能够实现集体目标。价值协商的实践在开发这些业务模型中是必不可少的,它使涉众能够平衡个人与集体的价值获取。这就需要对利益相关者之间的信息交换进行结构化指导,使利益相关者如何实现权衡,以及他们在谈判期间如何共享信息,也如何隐瞒信息。根据设计科学的研究方法,提出了一种构建协同商业模式下价值协商的方法,并将其应用于共享单车商业场景,对其有效性和实用性进行了评估。

An innovation network can be understood as a heterogeneous interorganisational model, in which stakeholders interact through a series of collective actions based on innovation. From this perspective, and following a review of the literature, this paper aims to determine the factors related to international interorganisational knowledge networks that contribute to the achievement of innovation. To test our theoretical arguments, the empirical work has focused on organisations in the agribusiness sector in Brazil and Spain. In terms of the methodological aspects, the research is qualitative in nature and has used crisp-set qualitative comparative analysis (csQCA). The main conclusions we have drawn are the following: a) in the context of interorganisational knowledge networks, the ‘strength of the ties’ variable is decisive and sufficient to influence innovation; b) the ‘density’, ‘size’ and ‘configuration’ variables (agglomeration, power, contractual formalisation and directionality) of the networks are not sufficient on their own to explain innovative performance; and c) despite the vast body of literature pointing to territorial agglomeration (clustered networks) as a source of resources for networks, dispersed networks combined with other configurations with a different structure can generate innovations in knowledge networks.
创新网络可以被理解为一个异质的组织间模型,在这个模型中,利益相关者通过一系列基于创新的集体行动进行互动。从这个角度出发,在回顾文献之后,本文旨在确定与国际组织间知识网络相关的因素,这些因素有助于实现创新。为了检验我们的理论论点,实证工作集中在巴西和西班牙农业综合企业部门的组织上。在方法方面,研究本质上是定性的,并使用了crisp-set定性比较分析(csQCA)。我们得出的主要结论如下:a)在组织间知识网络的背景下,“联系强度”变量是决定性的,足以影响创新;B)网络的“密度”、“大小”和“配置”变量(集聚、权力、契约形式化和方向性)本身不足以解释创新绩效;c)尽管大量文献指出地域集聚(集群网络)是网络的资源来源,但分散的网络与其他结构不同的配置相结合,可以产生知识网络的创新。

While the institutional environment is recognized as pivotal in encouraging firms to undertake digital initiatives and enhance their market value, the presence of uncertainties related to digital technologies presents significant challenges. Surprisingly, there has been limited exploration into how firms' technological uncertainties influence the link between the institutional environment and firms' market value, as well as strategies to mitigate these effects. Hence, this paper employs institutional theory to comprehend the impact of the institutional environment on firms' market value. It also delves into the moderating role of technological uncertainties in this relationship and proposes strategies to alleviate their negative effects.
虽然制度环境被认为是鼓励企业采取数字化举措并提高其市场价值的关键,但与数字技术相关的不确定性的存在带来了重大挑战。令人惊讶的是,对于企业的技术不确定性如何影响制度环境与企业市场价值之间的联系,以及缓解这些影响的策略的探索有限。因此,本文运用制度理论来理解制度环境对企业市场价值的影响。本文还探讨了技术不确定性在这种关系中的调节作用,并提出了缓解其负面影响的策略。

Digital transformation (DT) initiatives often experience frequent delays and failures worldwide due to nascent insight into the complex interplay of organizational and human capabilities required for success. The paper builds on dynamic capability theory (DCT) to examine the effects of digital leadership capability (DLC) and knowledge management capability (KMC) on DT directly and indirectly through the mediating role of organizational agility. The researchers adopted a cross-sectional research design and purposive sampling method to collect and analyze data from 328 workers in companies that have adopted DT strategies using SPSS 24 and SmartPLS 3.1.9. The findings corroborated the significant and positive impact of DLC and KMC on DT performance while offering evidence for the mediating role of organizational agility between DLC, KMC, and DT performance. The interdisciplinary paper significantly advances the current knowledge base in strategic management and information systems literature by empirically demonstrating the role of DLC and KMC in enhancing DT in China. Specifically, the empirical framework supports the application of DCT in diverse organizational settings, i.e., IT. More so, the findings establish organizational agility as a significant complementary mechanism that enables DT under the framework of DLC and KMC.
数字化转型(DT)计划经常在全球范围内经历频繁的延迟和失败,这是由于对成功所需的组织和人员能力的复杂相互作用的初步了解。本文以动态能力理论(DCT)为基础,通过组织敏捷性的中介作用,考察了数字化领导能力(DLC)和知识管理能力(KMC)对创新能力的直接和间接影响。研究人员采用横断面研究设计和有目的的抽样方法,使用SPSS 24和SmartPLS 3.1.9对采用DT策略的公司的328名工人进行数据收集和分析。研究结果证实了DLC和KMC对DT绩效的显著正向影响,并为组织敏捷性在DLC、KMC和DT绩效之间的中介作用提供了证据。这篇跨学科的论文通过实证证明了DLC和KMC在促进中国战略管理和信息系统方面的作用,显著地推进了当前战略管理和信息系统文献的知识库。具体而言,实证框架支持DCT在不同组织环境中的应用,即IT。更重要的是,研究结果建立了组织敏捷性作为一个重要的补充机制,使DLC和KMC框架下的DT成为可能。

The growing demand for batteries, driven by the rapid growth of electric vehicles and renewable energy technologies, has led to increased focus on their lifecycle management. While batteries may reach the end of their primary life, they often have the potential for a second life, offering valuable services before their eventual recycling. This paper presents a comprehensive business model framework tailored for the second life battery business, aiming to guide stakeholders in the battery ecosystem through the complexities of this emerging field. Developed through detailed theoretical and practical industry insights, the framework is segmented into three core elements: value proposition, value creation and delivery, and value capture. Each core element further branches into sub-elements, offering a modular approach for stakeholders to construct unique business models. The paper also includes in-depth value analyses, sustainability implications, and stakeholder interests, providing a holistic understanding of the second life battery business. Practical implications for key stakeholders in the battery ecosystem, including battery OEMs, remanufacturers, repurposers, and dealers, are discussed. The paper contributes to the theory of circular business models in general, with specific relevance to battery circularity.
在电动汽车和可再生能源技术快速发展的推动下,对电池的需求不断增长,导致人们越来越关注电池的生命周期管理。虽然电池可能会达到其主要使用寿命,但它们通常有第二次使用寿命的潜力,在最终回收之前提供有价值的服务。本文提出了一个为二次电池业务量身定制的综合商业模式框架,旨在指导电池生态系统中的利益相关者了解这一新兴领域的复杂性。通过详细的理论和实践行业洞察,该框架分为三个核心要素:价值主张、价值创造和交付以及价值获取。每个核心元素进一步分支为子元素,为涉众提供构建独特业务模型的模块化方法。本文还包括深入的价值分析、可持续性影响和利益相关者利益,提供了对二次电池业务的全面了解。讨论了对电池生态系统中主要利益相关者的实际影响,包括电池oem、再制造商、再用途商和经销商。本文对循环商业模式的理论做出了贡献,特别是与电池循环相关的理论。

Firms' sustainable innovation (FSI) plays an importing role in China's high-tech manufacturing sector, which raises scholar's attention to investigate the building of cross-level alliance innovation networks among manufacturing firms and how it affects FSI. Based on data on high-tech manufacturing industry alliance innovation networks (micro), and relevant data of 31 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions in China (medium) over 2011–2019, we explore how ego-network size affects FSI, and analyze the moderating roles of digital level and entrepreneurial activity in the relationship between ego-network size and FSI. Our findings provide insightful guidance supported with theoretical underpinning and empirical evidence for high-tech manufacturing firms to plan and adjust their ego-network sizes rationally, and for provincial governments to use digital level and entrepreneurial activity effectively to enhance FSI.

This study explores the impact of corruption punishment on the effectiveness of R&D subsidy policies, using panel data from China’s A-share listed companies, with a focus on both the quantity and quality of innovation. The findings reveal that: (1) Corruption punishment weakens the positive effect of R&D subsidies on innovation quantity, while enhancing their positive effect on innovation quality. (2) Corruption punishment increases the significance of R&D investment in securing R&D subsidies and curbs the influence of rent-seeking behavior on obtaining these subsidies. (3) Strengthening corruption punishment is likely to amplify the patent value effect of R&D subsidies.
本研究利用中国a股上市公司的面板数据,从创新的数量和质量两个方面探讨了腐败惩罚对研发补贴政策有效性的影响。研究发现:(1)腐败惩罚弱化了研发补贴对创新数量的正向作用,而增强了研发补贴对创新质量的正向作用。(2)腐败惩罚提高了r&d投资对获得r&d补贴的重要性,抑制了寻租行为对获得r&d补贴的影响。(3)加强腐败惩罚可能会放大研发补贴的专利价值效应。

How firms in transition economies drive digital transformation amidst innovation challenges remains an important but underexplored question. Grounded in the premise of heuristic decision-making under bounded rationality, this study employs the behavioral theory of the firm to examine how innovation performance aspiration shortfall affects digital transformation and the moderating effect of resource allocation characteristics in transition economies. Using a sample of manufacturing firms listed on Chinese A-share market from 2008 to 2023, the results reveal that the impact of innovation performance aspiration shortfall on digital transformation follows an inverted U-shaped pattern: the increase of innovation performance aspiration shortfall will lead to the change of firm transformation motivation and capability, making the degree of digital transformation increase first and then decrease. Furthermore, the effect of innovation performance aspiration shortfall on digital transformation is amplified in firms with no political connection and high market competition. These findings advance the behavioral theory of the firm by enhancing its predictive and explanatory power in organizational management practices and provide theoretical guidance and empirical evidence for transition economy firms navigating digital transformation under innovation performance aspiration shortfall conditions.
转型经济体中的企业如何在创新挑战中推动数字化转型仍然是一个重要但尚未得到充分探讨的问题。本研究以有限理性下的启发式决策为前提,运用企业行为理论,考察了转型经济体创新绩效期望不足对数字化转型的影响以及资源配置特征的调节作用。以2008 - 2023年中国a股上市制造业企业为样本,研究发现创新绩效期望缺口对企业数字化转型的影响呈倒u型模式:创新绩效期望缺口的增加会导致企业转型动机和能力的变化,使企业数字化转型程度先上升后下降。此外,在没有政治关系和高度市场竞争的企业中,创新绩效期望不足对数字化转型的影响被放大。这些研究结果通过增强企业行为理论在组织管理实践中的预测和解释能力,推进了企业行为理论的发展,并为转型经济企业在创新绩效期望不足条件下进行数字化转型提供了理论指导和实证证据。

Although innovation is a critical determinant of sustained economic growth, there are still gaps in our understanding of what drives innovation. Given this, we conduct a systematic literature review to illustrate the role of formal and informal institutions in innovation, identify the relevant theoretical cornerstones and current trends and synthesize the research developed in this field. The review incorporates both qualitative and quantitative studies published between 2011 and 2023. We propose avenues for future research, which, together with the synthesis of the bibliometric findings, constitute the main contribution of this systematic review.
尽管创新是经济持续增长的关键决定因素,但我们对驱动创新的因素的理解仍存在差距。鉴于此,我们进行了系统的文献综述,以说明正式和非正式制度在创新中的作用,确定相关的理论基础和当前趋势,并综合该领域的研究成果。该综述纳入了2011年至2023年间发表的定性和定量研究。我们提出了未来研究的途径,连同文献计量学研究结果的综合,构成了本系统综述的主要贡献。
