The increasing relevance of artificial intelligence (AI) applications in various domains has led to high expectations of benefits, ranging from precision, efficiency, and optimization to the completion of routine or time-consuming tasks. Particularly in the field of education, AI applications promise immense innovation potential. A central focus in this field is on analyzing and evaluating learner characteristics to derive learning profiles and create individualized learning environments. The development and implementation of such AI-driven approaches are related to learners' data, and thus involves several privacies, ethics, and morality challenges. In this paper, we introduce the concept of human-centered AI, and consider how an AI system can be developed in line with human values without posing risks to humanity. Because the education market is in the early stages of incorporating AI into educational tools, we believe that this is the right time to raise awareness about the use of principles that foster human-centered values and help in building responsible, ethical, and value-oriented AI.

Second, application process platforms in Business ecosystems increasingly prominent organizational form in both management research and practice. A growing body of research exists about ecosystem design, but designing local ecosystem instances within a global ecosystem is not yet well understood or defined. This article contributes a multilevel, embedded case study of the global and local ecosystems anchored around the Technovation Girls competition – the world’s largest technology entrepreneurship challenge for girls. We first define the process platform driving this ecosystem and anchoring the local instances. Second, we identify key architectural properties of a global-local ecosystem. Lastly, we specify a process for defining design rules in an organizational setting. In addition to theoretical relevance for ecosystem scholarship, our results are also of practical relevance to leaders of existing or nascent global ecosystems, who may benefit from techniques described in this paper that involve designing a flexible global ecosystem architecture that accommodates local variation.

The growth of competition, environmental challenges, and market changes make it ever more important for companies nowadays to ensure that they utilize resources as efficiently and effectively as possible. Rapid technological development also increases the technological opportunities to streamline businesses and take fuller advantage of existing opportunities to create more value, reduce resource consumption, and increase competitiveness. The World Economic Forum’s “Digital Transformation Initiative” (WEF, 2021) states, for example, that: “Digitalization has immense potential: we estimate it could deliver around $100 trillion in value to business and society over the next decade”. Carrying out effective digitalization projects has thus become an ever more important industrial and economic objective.

Academic institutions are nowadays considered as important drivers for national economies, since they are expected to spur innovations and thus stimulate economic growth (Weckowska, 2015; Rajalo & Vadi, 2017). These benefits may be delivered by means of industry utilizing the results of the research made in universities. For this reason, governments and national innovation policy makers are actively promoting the establishment and development of collaborative networks between universities and society, represented by industry, other private sector actors, the public sector, and non-profit organizations (Morlacchi & Martin, 2009; Perkmann et al., 2013; Rajalo & Vadi, 2017). In this way, national innovation policies nowadays often emphasize a so-called “third mission of universities”, which means that in addition to the fundamental goals of higher education and academic research, universities are also expected to make social contributions. These social contributions may include collaborative knowledge creation, transfer, and exchange between universities and external partners (Pennacchio, 2016). Policy makers are thus increasingly expecting publicly funded research not only to produce scientific and scholarly results, but also to enable clear social impacts.

the effects of these dimensions on the buyer-supplier relationship and analyzes their mediated impact on customer repurchasing intentions. In so doing, we establish a structural equation model and test multiple hypotheses with a sample of 141 purchasing professionals from 23 countries. The findings indicate that expressive and collaborative service performance are more significant determinants of successful business relationships and influence business relationship continuity more than competence-based service performance. Also, relationship performance was found to fully mediate the links between expressive and collaborative service performance with customer repurchase intentions. The study underscores that service providers can ensure business continuity with their customers by investing in expressive and collaborative service performance. Whether the use of complexity research will fundamentally improve firm performance will depend on the effect on success derived from its application.

We use two dimensions of wicked problems involving complexity and complicatedness, and conduct a secondary analysis of seven technology venture case studies from Australia and New Zealand. We then categorise the configuration types of these firms' stakeholder value propositions in the context of their scale-up process. We contribute to the value proposition and business model development research streams by suggesting that the challenge of mediating value propositions that conflict can manifest itself in four types of configurations: easy, complicated, complex and wicked. Complicated and complex propositions are thorny, but with structures and processes in place, they can be adequately addressed. On the other hand, wicked propositions consist of many unknowns and require firms to collaborate with stakeholders to derive outcomes that align company scaling objective with stakeholder value propositions. The value of a thing is estimated from the advantages supposed to be derived from it, and depends very much upon time, place, and circumstances”
