Innovation management in small businesses has been of interest to researchers for many years. One of the reasons is that innovation in small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) occurs in a different way than in large companies. Small businesses face a resource challenge that differs from large companies. The ability to successfully manage the innovation process can be a particularly challenge for small businesses in high technology industries that need to innovate in order to survive. In the software industry, for example, research on innovation in small businesses tends to focus mainly on identifying resources (Romijn et al., 2002; Cho & Linderman, 2020; Harel et al., 2020), and seems to consider the process as a “black box” that ignores how the type, needs, and availability of resources arise throughout the innovation process (Pustovrh et al., 2017; McDowell et al., 2018). Interest in conceptualizing the innovation process has received attention by researchers from multiple disciplines such as technology management, engineering, and strategy. However, the focus tends to be on the process of new product development, with the majority of works focused on identifying organizational and strategic success factors (Dunne et al., 2016; Kim et al., 2018; Bailetti et al., 2020).
多年来，研究人员一直对小型企业的创新管理感兴趣。其中一个原因是，中小企业(SMEs)的创新发生的方式与大公司不同。小企业面临着与大公司不同的资源挑战。成功管理创新过程的能力对于需要创新才能生存的高科技行业的小企业来说是一个特别的挑战。例如，在软件行业，对小企业创新的研究往往主要集中在识别资源上(Romijn et al.， 2002;Cho & Linderman, 2020;Harel等人，2020)，并且似乎将这一过程视为一个“黑箱”，忽略了在整个创新过程中资源的类型、需求和可用性是如何出现的(Pustovrh等人，2017;McDowell et al.， 2018)。对创新过程概念化的兴趣受到了来自技术管理、工程和战略等多个学科的研究人员的关注。然而，重点往往是新产品开发的过程，与大多数工作集中在确定组织和战略成功因素(Dunne等人，2016;Kim et al.， 2018;Bailetti et al.， 2020)。

Examples of such business opportunities include new market segmentation and diversification of solution portfolio.

这种商业机会的例子包括新的市场细分和解决方案组合的多样化。考虑到当今竞争激烈的市场，企业不开发新机会就无法生存。在生态系统中，机会识别是一个持续的过程。然而，与知识探索和利用相关的模糊性和挑战会阻碍机会识别过程。这反过来又可能导致资源的过度消耗或潜在机会的丧失。本研究采用分析方法，并提出了利用科学计量学和文本挖掘技术的方法论路线图。该路线图使用来自Web of Science的数据作为输入，并生成支持有关资源节约、战略规划、投资和政策制定的决策的见解。我们的路线图通过结合现有和新的数据分析技术，扩展了研究生态系统的方法。使用Python和VOSViewer，我们展示了北欧国家可再生能源生态系统背景下新路线图的示范应用。机会识别过程使团体或个人能够快速而系统地筛选大量的想法。

The purpose of this research is to introduce and apply a novel approach for developing business model innovation. It shows step-by-step how to envision and create business model innovation activities. The data was collected through a case study of a European provider of technical services in the electricity and telecommunications network industry, which is coping with the uncertainty and complexity of emerging fifth generation mobile communications networks (5G) and subsequently the transformation of telecom markets. This paper contributes to the intersection of strategic foresight and business model innovation by synthesizing existing knowledge and in-depth case evidence to demonstrate how business model innovation is developed in the context of emerging disruptive technologies using future-oriented methods.

Thanks to technological advances, new forms of electronic currency are now possible and already available. In particular, distributed ledger-based digital “blockchain” technology now offers a secure transaction-oriented system free from censorship and control by central government powers. This technology, invented by a pseudonymous figure (or team) “Satoshi Nakamoto”, has allowed so-called “cryptocurrencies”, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple, to create a new digital economy. Due to their “decentralized” character, these cryptocurrencies are poised to potentially disrupt national and central bank-backed “fiat currencies” (see note 1) around the world.

This study presents an integrative literature review on the processes, techniques, and capabilities of managing project portfolios, and on how they are discussed from the perspectives of innovation, ideation, and dynamic capabilities. The relationship among these topics is described in the scope of not-for-profit research centers. This study aims at addressing the problem of selecting and identifying the "best" opportunities in not-for-profit research centers that aim to impact society by transferring their R&D results to business enterprises. The purpose of not-for-profit research centers, as the name suggests, is different from that of for-profit companies. Companies target profit generation and thus innovation gets motivated by an expectation to increase sales and revenues. Not-for-profit research centers, on the other hand, are typically funded by public state budgets. They have a mission to advance knowledge, train researchers, and explore areas that may not be profitable in the short or even medium-term. However, most of these research entities seek to promote close relationships with companies, and thus enable knowledge and technology transfers.

A company’s management model reflects its managers’ choices, decisions, systems, procedures, people, and organizational structure (D'Amato, 2015). Companies nowadays are often faced with transforming their management models to cope with discontinuous change in the current hyper-competitive business landscape. Under turbulent conditions, organizations develop skills, structures, and principles that enable them to build an innovative organizational climate and thus achieve competitiveness (Cooper & Kleinschmidt, 2000).

Participation processes and living labs are situated in specific social and physical contexts. I discuss the “situatedness” of living labs and propose to reconceptualize them as “situated practices”: the value of a living lab lies in the processes of work it conducts on specific innovations situated in its local context. A key conclusion is that providing narrative descriptions of living lab projects, with attention to situatedness and stakeholder participation, can provide invaluable examples, insights, and inspirations for other in the field.
