Strategic Entrepreneurship Behaviour and the Explorative and Exploitative Innovation of SMEs

Balancing explorative and exploitative innovations poses a significant challenge for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to resource limitations. Strategic entrepreneurship behaviour offers a potential solution; yet an understanding of specific behaviours fostering these innovations remains limited. This study proposes that strategic entrepreneurship behaviour, synthesised from innovation attitude, perceived innovation control and subjective innovation norms, influences SMEs' explorative and exploitative innovation activities. These innovation activities, in turn, are expected to impact new product development and market performance. Data collected, with government permission from 244 SMEs and analysed using SmartPLS, revealed significant effects of innovation attitude and perceived innovation control on both types of innovations. However, subjective innovation norms show no influence. Findings exhibit that explorative and exploitative innovation activities have a favourable influence on new product performance, with the latter significantly affecting the market performance. This study uniquely integrates strategic entrepreneurship behaviours from the Theory of Planned Behaviour and innovation activities from the resource-based view, promoting performance enhancement and offering insights into strategic management and policy formulation.

The role of adhocracy culture in open innovation in SMEs

Purpose Studies have demonstrated the role of organizational culture on innovative performance. However, there is limited focus on the role of adhocracy culture in facilitating open innovation in organizations, especially in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that are constrained by a lack of adequate resources, making them dependent on dynamic innovative culture such as adhocracy culture. Design/methodology/approach This study used a quantitative methodology, using both exploratory and descriptive methods. Five hundred manufacturing SMEs in Jordan were chosen through systemic random sampling from a registered list of 2,310 manufacturing SMEs. A questionnaire was used as the study’s instrument on these SMEs. In sum, 335 responses (67%) were considered suitable for analysis. Findings This paper supports the previous studies that suggest that the success of open innovation rests largely on creating an effective organizational culture (e.g., adhocracy culture). However, this paper indicates the positive influence of adhocracy culture on the features of open innovation (i.e., inbound innovation, outbound innovation). Originality/value This study contributes to the literature by emphasizing the organizational elements that encourage open innovation in SMEs. It also provides empirical knowledge of a research model that offers SME stakeholders a cost-effective driver for open innovation activities by transforming intangible resources such as organizational culture, namely, adhocracy culture, to boost the competitiveness of their SMEs.

Credit information sharing and firm innovation: Evidence from the establishment of public credit registries

AbstractLenders are reluctant to finance firms' innovation activities because such activities tend to be opaque, with a high likelihood of negative outcomes that could hamper loan repayment. We posit that public credit registries (PCRs), which play an important role in credit information sharing in many countries, can facilitate financing by reducing adverse selection and moral hazard and increasing bank competition. Using the staggered establishment of PCRs in different countries and an international firm–patent data set, we find that credit information sharing positively affects firm innovation, especially in firms that experience a larger increase in bank debt financing after the establishment of a PCR. This finding is consistent with the notion that credit information sharing promotes firm innovation by easing bank debt financing frictions. We also find a stronger effect in countries that experience a large increase in bank competition after the establishment of a PCR—consistent with increased bank competition serving as a channel through which credit information sharing facilitates bank debt financing, thereby generating a positive effect on firm innovation. The positive effect is more pronounced when the established PCR has features that promote credit information sharing. It is also more pronounced for opaque firms and firms in innovation‐intensive industries, indicating that credit information sharing helps to reduce financing frictions. Finally, we posit and find evidence that firm efficiency in transforming innovation inputs into outputs improves after the establishment of a PCR. Overall, our paper offers novel insights into how credit information sharing facilitates firm innovation.

Analyst Coverage and Corporate Innovation: Evidence from Exogenous Changes in Analyst Coverage

Using a stacked difference‐in‐differences design, we examine how exogenous reductions in analyst coverage arising from brokerage mergers and closures affect firm innovation in China. We find that firms affected by brokerage mergers or closures experience a reduction in innovation quantity, quality, investment, and efficiency. A content analysis of analyst reports reveals that exogenous analyst losses lead to reduced analyst coverage of firm innovation, and that a loss of analysts who issue innovation‐related reports drives the negative effect of analyst losses on firm innovation. In addition, we show that analyst losses have a negative effect on firms’ information environments and access to external financing, which we confirm are important determinants of firm innovation. Furthermore, these negative effects are driven by firms with weaker information environments and more severe agency conflicts, which experience a greater deterioration of their information environment and access to external financing following the analyst losses. Finally, we show that analyst losses do indeed lead to negative economic consequences, as evidenced by reduced sales growth, market share growth, and firm value, suggesting that innovation outputs are economically valuable in China. Overall, our evidence suggests that in the context of emerging markets, analysts can play a crucial role in shaping firm innovation by covering firms’ innovation activities and thereby reducing information asymmetry and mitigating agency conflicts with respect to innovation.

Customer Environmental Performance and Supplier Green Innovation: A Sustainable Supply Chain Perspective

With the growing emphasis on sustainable development, the impact of customer environmental performance on innovation activities has attracted more attention. Using a dataset of Chinese A-share listed companies from 2009 to 2022, this study empirically investigates the relationship between customer environmental performance and supplier green innovation. The results show that customer environmental performance has a significant positive effect on supplier green innovation. Mechanism analysis reveals that customer environmental performance promotes supplier green innovation through four pathways: supply chain transmission, market investment expectations, institutional policies, and financial constraints. The impact of customer environmental performance on supplier green innovation is more pronounced when the customer enterprise is state-owned, the supplier enterprise is state-owned, or the supplier enterprise holds ISO14001 certification. This study contributes to the literature on supply chain sustainability and provides valuable insights for enterprises on enhancing competitiveness and promoting sustainable supply chain transformation through improved environmental performance.

Citizen science and the nexus approach: unlocking synergies for sustainable development

Abstract This article explores how citizen science can contribute to achieving the United Nations (UN) sustainable development goals (SDGs) by focusing on the complex and sometimes interrelated nature of sustainability challenges. Citizen science presents a unique opportunity to ethically engage communities in research by actively involving them in defining sustainability targets, gathering data, and analysing results, thereby generating actionable insights that directly inform both local and global sustainability efforts. The authors advocate for integrating citizen science with the nexus approach to environmental resources management, which examines the interrelatedness and interdependencies that are inherent within complex systems, emphasising the relationships among water, energy, and food systems. The nexus approach proposes strategies to enhance the role of citizen science in addressing sustainability challenges. These include strengthening collective interaction and knowledge exchange between the five subsystems described by the quintuple helix innovation model, namely policy, science, industry, society and environment. The article also highlights the importance of inclusive participation, co-defining localised sustainability indicators, and co-creating citizen-led actions. By empowering communities to engage in participatory knowledge production and promoting multi-actor collaboration, citizen science not only has the potential to contribute valuable data to monitoring progress on the SDGs but also to help deliver on the UN’s pledge to ‘leave no one behind.’ Ultimately, creating an inclusive environment for the participation of diverse societal actors in nexus-oriented research and innovation can unlock the full potential of citizen science in advancing the SDGs and ensuring a sustainable future.

The Roles of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Supporting Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Developing Countries: Evidence from Oman

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine whether innovation and entrepreneurship activities are being adopted by higher education institutions (HEIs) in developing countries and specifically in Oman. It aims to explore the entrepreneurial ecosystem at HEIs and understand the support and challenges facing those institutions in order to promote entrepreneurship, innovation, and to spill-over of knowledge from universities’ campus to the market. Design/Methodology/Approach: A combination of semi-structured and in-depth interviews was used to gather the data, and one-sample and independent-sample t-tests were used to analyse the data.

Using a Standard‐Based Innovation Management System Approach—A Catalyst for Innovation Legitimacy?

ABSTRACTThis study explores how the use of a standard‐based Innovation Management System approach influences the legitimacy for innovation management—a management discipline often subject to innovation fads and fashions. Utilizing neo institutional theory as a lens, we explore how this approach increased legitimacy for innovation management in case studies of two large organizations, and how this in turn affected innovation activities. Theoretically, we contribute by adding construct clarity to the concept of legitimacy, in relation to management systems, and by increasing understanding of the role of legitimacy in innovation activities. Managerial implications include the potential use of an Innovation Management Systems Standard to create a common language for innovation, to systematize innovation efforts and improve the perceived seriosity of innovation management, which in turn enables more robust and continuous innovation efforts in organizations.

Boosting photosynthesis opens new opportunities for agriculture sustainability and circular economy: TheBEST-CROP research and innovation action.

There is a need for ground-breaking technologies to boost crop yield, both grains and biomass, and their processing into economically competitive materials. Novel cereals with enhanced photosynthesis and assimilation of greenhouse gasses, such as carbon dioxide and ozone, and tailored straw suitable for industrial manufacturing, open a new perspective for the circular economy. Here we describe the vision, strategies, and objectives of BEST-CROP, a Horizon-Europe and United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI) funded project that relies on an alliance of academic plant scientists teaming up with plant breeding companies and straw processing companies to use the major advances in photosynthetic knowledge to improve barley biomass and to exploit the variability of barley straw quality and composition. We adopt the most promising strategies to improve the photosynthetic properties and ozone assimilation capacity of barley: (i) tuning leaf chlorophyll content and modifying canopy architecture; (ii) increasing the kinetics of photosynthetic responses to changes in irradiance; (iii) introducing photorespiration bypasses; (iv) modulating stomatal opening, thus increasing the rate of carbon dioxide fixation and ozone assimilation. We expect that by improving our targeted traits we will achieve increases in aboveground total biomass production without modification of the harvest index, with added benefits in sustainability via better resource-use efficiency of water and nitrogen. In parallel, the resulting barley straw is tailored to: (i) increase straw protein content to make it suitable for the development of alternative biolubricants and feed sources; (ii) control cellulose/lignin contents and lignin properties to develop straw-based construction panels and polymer composites. Overall, by exploiting natural- and induced-genetic variability as well as gene editing and transgenic engineering, BEST-CROP will lead to multi-purpose next generation barley cultivars supporting sustainable agriculture and capable of straw-based applications.

Opening Our Innovation Ecosystems to All: The INTEGER Project Case Study

Quadruple Helix open innovation ecosystems are gaining relevance as they incorporate different actors with different perspectives, contributing significantly to the development of social innovation communities that are more responsive to today’s social and environmental challenges. The Horizon Europe INTEGER project aims to better understand how social and economic innovation actors can be effectively integrated into European innovation ecosystems to address critical sustainability challenges. An exploratory and qualitative study was conducted, using three different focus groups (partners, stakeholders, and driving group) and analysing the intra- and inter-regional health and wellbeing ecosystems of three European regions (Krakow, Hamburg, and Catalonia). The results propose a systemic model based on a new generation of Living Labs, called Collaboratories, that involves the actors of social and economic innovation and facilitates a holistic understanding of the interconnected dimensions of the ecosystem, where all the dimensions interact to drive sustainable impact. In addition, this study highlights the key role of the facilitator who guides the group process from the beginning to the achievement of the objective, as well as the adaptation when it comes to scaling and replication, as each ecosystem has a particular level of maturity.

Febvre’s Climate of Sciences. When Human Geography Met Intellectual History (Tome 146, 7e Série, n° 1-2, (2025))

Abstract Although Lucien Febvre left exemplary works of economic and social history and of intellectual and religious history, to dissociate these two aspects of his work would be to overlook his most important methodological contribution in this second area: the concept of the “climate of science” or the “climate” of intellectual activity. In order to reconstruct its development from the 1920s to the 1940s, it is important to show how Febvre constructed a synthesis of proposals formulated by the philosopher Henri Berr, the psychologist Henri Wallon and the physicist Paul Langevin. He was opposed to Ratzel’s deterministic approach to human geography and he considered that all innovative human activities were the result of probabilities of options within a spectrum of possibilities that it was then up to the historian to reconstruct.

The impact of artificial intelligence on corporate greenwashing: evidence from the Chinese listed firms

PurposeThis paper investigates the impact of AI penetration rate on the degree of corporate greenwashing and aims to assess the potential of AI in enhancing firms' environmental performance and reducing false disclosures.Design/methodology/approachThis study employs a year and firm fixed-effects model to analyze data from Chinese listed firms from 2012 to 2022. We use the low-carbon city pilot as a quasi-natural experiment to address endogeneity concerns and conduct a series of robustness tests, including adding control variables and transforming the model.FindingsThe results of this paper show that the application of AI can inhibit firms' greenwashing behavior, with green innovation activities further enhancing this inhibitory effect. In state-owned firms and those with Party Organizations, the inhibitory effect of AI on corporate greenwashing is more significant. This reduction in greenwashing is more likely to be observed in firms that are heavily influenced by Confucian culture, receive higher public attention regarding their environmental impact, face less market competition, suffer from more serious pollution and face less financial constraints.Originality/valueWe propose a new research perspective that offers novel insights into promoting the green development of firms by revealing the potential of AI in reducing their greenwashing behavior. Corporate boards can explore specific strategies for applying AI to monitor, prevent and correct greenwashing, thereby enhancing corporate environmental performance and social responsibility.

Examining the relationship between technological innovation, environmental social governance and corporate sustainability: the moderating role of green operational innovation

While environmental social governance (ESG) and technological innovation are important foundations for corporate sustainability, how ESG activities and technological innovation impact corporate sustainability remains limited in the current literature. This study therefore examined the relationship between corporate sustainability, ESG activities and technological innovation through the moderating role of green operational innovation. To achieve the aims of this study, primary data were collected from 488 respondents of mobile app platform users for hypothesis testing. The collected data were analyzed using statistical analysis such as SPSS and AMOS. Findings show that ESG activities and technological innovation are related to corporate sustainability. This study finds green operational innovation to positively moderates the relationship between ESG, technological innovation, and corporate sustainability. This study further affirms that corporate sustainability can benefit from ESG activities, while green operational innovation can contribute to sustainable corporate growth and promote technological innovation activities. The originality of this study lies in the evidence that ESG activities, technological innovation, and green operational innovation are important factors that drive firms’ sustainable growth.

The impact of firm-level innovation on labor productivity and employment in selected African countries

The paper examines the impact of different types of innovations—such as process, product, and R&D—on labor productivity and employment across several African nations. Utilizing data from the World Bank Enterprise Survey, the study constructs pseudo-panel data based on legal status, firm size, and industry type and employs the propensity score matching and the dose–response model to explore the relationship between innovation and labor market outcomes. The descriptive analysis indicates that 2,673 firms are engaged in at least one of the innovation activities, and 250 firms do not have any innovation activities. The propensity score matching finds that the overall combined effect of all types of innovation is statistically significant and has a positive effect on the employment of non-production workers and skilled workers, but it harms their productivity. Not only this, but it has also a negative impact on the productivity of permanent, and unskilled workers. The only positive impact goes to the productivity of production workers. Except for skilled labor, no segments of the labor force have been impacted by product innovation, but it has statistically significant influences on the productivity of all types of workers, still, production workers received a positive influence. It also finds that process innovation positively influences the productivity of production workers and the employment of skilled, non-production, and production workers. On the other hand, permanent, non-production, and skilled employees respond negatively to process innovation. Regarding R&D innovation, except for production workers, all are negatively impacted and statistically significant. On employment creation, R&D has also a positive and statistically significant impact on employment except for permanent employees. On top of this, the findings of the dose–response function are also in line with the propensity score matching method except for the combined effect of innovation on production workers. In other words, the intensity has a declining dose effect while innovation has a growing effect by the propensity score method for production workers. Additionally, the dose–response function shows a strong positive correlation between the intensity of innovation and skilled workers with various trends as well as permanent employees. The effect is initially diminishing for unskilled workers and non-production workers, but it gradually increases over time. In general, the finding challenges the assumption that innovation uniformly improves productivity, instead revealing a more complex dynamic where job creation comes at the cost of lower productivity in certain labor segments.

Intermediate input import policy uncertainty and firm innovation: evidence from China

Innovation is crucial for driving economic growth. This paper conducts a comprehensive analysis of the effect of intermediate input import policy uncertainty (IIIPU) on firm innovation. Specifically, leveraging China’s entry into the WTO as a quasi-natural experiment, this study utilizes a difference-in-differences strategy to analyze the intermediate input import policy uncertainty on the innovative activities of Chinese manufacturing firms. The findings reveal that a reduction in intermediate input import policy uncertainty (IIIPU) significantly hampers firm innovation activities. This negative impact persists even after undergoing a series of tests on identification assumptions and robustness checks, and it intensifies annually after China’s accession to the WTO. In addition, the reduction in IIIPU has a more pronounced effect on high-productivity firms, foreign-invested enterprises, and utility model patents.

Exploring the innovation potential of urban space at the micro scale: a case study of Suzhou’s main urban area

As urban areas serve as spatial carriers for innovation activities, exploring the interaction between innovation and urban spaces has become a research hotspot. Previous studies have primarily focused on urban innovation capacity assessment and measurement, with less attention given to the urban innovation potential and issues such as insufficient granularity of research and weak stability in factor weighting. In this study, an urban spatial innovation potential measurement system was proposed from a demand-side perspective, the structural equation model (SEM) was employed to investigate the direct and indirect influences of factors, and micro-scale empirical analysis was conducted in the main urban area of Suzhou, China. Coupling and coordination with innovation outputs were analyzed. The results revealed that (1) the innovation potential exhibits significant spatial clustering characteristics; (2) there is clear core-periphery spatial differentiation in the innovation potential, demonstrating decreasing spatial diffusion effects with distance from the center; and (3) only 8.18% of the plots in the study area occur at the harmonized innovation coupling stage, indicating that the overall innovation conversion efficiency should be improved. This study aimed to provide a sound basis and practical references for optimizing the layout and improving the quality of urban innovation spaces from a detailed scale perspective, thereby enhancing urban competitiveness.

Capacidades dinámicas de gestión del conocimiento y capacidad dinámica de innovación de las empresas de servicios intensivas en conocimiento (KIBS): el papel moderador de la integración de competidores y áreas funcionales

In this paper we aim to analyse the influence that dynamic knowledge management capabilities have on dynamic innovation capabilities and the moderating effect that the integration of both competitors and functional areas has on this relationship. To do so, a questionnaire was developed for the executives of the companies under study. We focused on Spanish companies in the service sector with activities for technological innovation, technological KIBS. The work was focused on Spanish companies in the services sector with activities for technological innovation, knowledge-intensive service companies, KIBS technology. The data collection period was carried out between February and May 2023. For the selection of the sample, we used information from the National Institute of Statistics (INE) on enterprises in the service sector in Spain with technological innovation activities, focusing on companies with 10 or more employees. The SABI database was subsequently used to refine and fine-tune the selection of firms meeting the specific criteria of the study. A total of 200 valid questionnaires were obtained. To verify our hypotheses, we used a hierarchical regression analysis. The results obtained confirm the proposed hypotheses. Dynamic knowledge management capabilities, considered as internal and external learning competencies, favour the development of dynamic innovation capabilities of KIBS, measured according to the degree of adaptability, creativity, proactivity and mastery of knowledge around services. The adequate integration of competing companies and functional areas positively moderates this relationship. The originality of the work lies in the study of the development of dynamic innovation capabilities in the services sector in a context of high technological uncertainty, highlighting the important moderating role played by both the integration of competing companies and the integration of the functional areas of the company.

Power Quality Improvement with Three-Phase Shunt Active Power Filter Prototype Based on Harmonic Component Separation Method with Low-Pass Filter

This work contributes to both Romania’s and the European Union’s energy policies by highlighting the research results obtained within the Dunarea de Jos University of Galati, but also through the technological transfer of this knowledge to the industry. In order to improve the power quality of the nonlinear loads connected to the electrical grid, a three-phase shunt active power filter prototype based on the Harmonic Component Separation Method with a Low-Pass Filter was used. The active power filter is connected at the Point of Common Coupling to compensate for individual loads or even all of them simultaneously. Therefore, active power filters can be used to compensate for the power factor and reduce the harmonic distortion of power supplies, or for processes subsequently connected to additional nonlinear loads, thus improving the energy efficiency. The shunt active power filter prototype is composed of the power side (three-phase insulated gate bipolar transistor bridge, DC link capacitor precharge system, inductive filter) and the control side (gate drive circuits, control subsystems, signal acquisition system). The filter control strategy is based on the principle of separating harmonic components with a low-pass filter, implemented by the authors on the industrial prototype. In this paper, the main technical features of the industrial shunt active power filter prototype are specified. The authors of this paper involved three cascaded control loops: the DC link voltage control loop, the shunt active power filter current control loop and the phase-locked loop. Both simulation and experimental results for the shunt-type active power filter prototype were obtained. By analyzing the obtained waveforms of the power supply source in two cases (with and without an active power filter), a decrease in the total harmonic distortion was demonstrated, both the voltage harmonic distortion factor THDu and the current harmonic distortion factor THDi in the case of the active power filter connection. By using the Field-Programmed Gate Array processing platform, the powerful computational speed features were exploited to implement the active shunt power filter control on an experimental test bench. Conducting source current harmonics mitigation increased the efficiency of the power system by decreasing the respective harmonic Joule losses. The energy-saving feature led to the increased added value of the parallel active power filter. Through the performed laboratory tests, the authors demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed control solution for the industrial prototype. In accordance with the European Union’s Research and Technological Development Policy, the development of an innovation ecosystem was taken into consideration. The unified and efficient integration of all the specific actors (enterprises, research institutes, universities and entrepreneurs) in innovation was achieved.
