Can board of directors’ faultlines improve corporate innovation performance? Evidence from China

Innovation, which is a pivotal force behind the sustained growth of enterprises, has garnered significant attention across various industries. As the epicenter of corporate decision-making, the board of directors plays a pivotal role in allocating resources and overseeing the execution of strategy. Consequently, it inevitably impacts the innovation capabilities of a business. Previous research has focused primarily on single board member characteristics, such as age, gender, tenure, and educational qualifications, overlooking the cumulative influence of multiple attributes. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the impact of faultlines arising from the intersection of these characteristics within a board on innovation performance. Using panel data from China’s A-share listed companies from 2010 to 2021, this research constructs a framework to analyze board faultlines based on gender, age, education, director tenure, independence status, and occupational background. A comprehensive examination reveals a positive association between board faultlines and innovation performance, indicating that diversity within a board can foster enhanced innovative outputs. These findings persist even after rigorous robustness tests, including two-stage instrumental variable regression using lagged innovation performance as well as when substituting explanatory variables and sample intervals. Further analysis reveals that the influence of board faultlines on innovation performance is significant only under certain contextual conditions: when equity concentration is low, industry competition is intense, and risk aversion is greater. This study offers valuable insights for optimizing board membership configurations and thus, ultimately, enhancing the innovation capabilities of enterprises.

Benefit distribution and stability analysis of enterprise digital servitization ecosystems from the perspective of value cocreation

PurposeA digital servitization ecosystem (DSE) is a cooperation model based on the concept of value cocreation. However, capability asymmetry among enterprises can lead to unfair benefit distribution and hinder value cocreation and digital service transformation. This paper aims to investigate the impact of the varying capabilities of enterprises (manufacturers, service providers and digital technology providers) on revenue distribution when these enterprises collaborate on digital servitization transformation. This analysis is performed from an ecosystem perspective to facilitate the stable development of DSEs.Design/methodology/approachThe rise of DSEs has engendered extensive literature, and the distribution of benefits within DSEs is in dire need of new mechanisms to adapt to the new competitive environment. The importance of investment contribution, digital servitization level, digitalization level, risk-taking ability, digital servitization effort level and brand awareness is determined by combining the expert scoring method and the entropy value method to determine different weights for manufacturers, service providers and digital technology providers. The Shapley value is used to design the benefit distribution mechanism for stable cooperation among DSE enterprises, thus providing a more scientific basis for the development of cooperative relationships.FindingsDigital servitization is a collaborative process that involves multienterprise activities, and it is significantly affected by digital servitization level and digitalization level. Moreover, constructing the modified Shapley value benefit distribution mechanism according to the relevant capabilities of digital servitization can promote the stable development of DSEs and value cocreation among members.Originality/valueThe main contributions of this study are as follows: First, it summarizes the stability-influencing factors of DSEs on the basis of empirical and literature research on the demand for enterprise digital servitization capabilities and transformation difficulties, delves deeper into the capability composition and cooperative relationship of DSE members and combines the expert scoring method and the entropy value method to determine the weighting to design the benefit distribution mechanism.

Spending on Intangibles and The Growth of Public Sector Enterprises In India: A Measure-Specific DEA Analysis

A recent surge of intangible investment to navigatethe productive capability of Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) resurrected a range of doubt about the trajectory of choices and the actual managerial space that actualizes these choices. Though spending on intangibles and more particularly on R&D contribute substantially to growth parameters but the ambiguous magnitude of spending patterns and treatment of such expenditure from regular business operation to an investment element, in particular, to enhance the valued capability, yet unresolved in the corporate world. Recent studies on the usefulness of intangibleoutlay and capitalization of the same in improving future returns evidenced a gloomy pattern of crisis in the measurement and allocation of intangibles. As evidenced, most of the spending on intangibles by the business units in India is targeted to secure “patent for profit” rather than to achieve “valued capability” to expand real opportunities to choose between alternatives. Based on the last ten years' dataset of Maharatna Enterprises this study critically examines the contribution of decisive one from the container of four inputs namely spending on software, other R&D expenditure, materials, and employee costs on a set of productive activities covering the revenue and net- value- added, as these are more regular in enhancing both profit and production capability with the help of input-oriented VRS weighted measure-specific DEA model. Results show that the multidimensional performances between the enterprises are not uniform throughout the study period and that the efficiency is highly correlated with the size of a few companies like ONGC, BHEL, and GALE and higher spending DMUs on intangibles do not necessarily have higher-ranked performance in terms of returns and net value added. This study provides valuable insights for managers aiming to maximize the benefit of variety in Software and other R&D spending patterns considering the sizes of the companies while minimizing the risk associated with excessive diversity beyond the moderate threshold in intangible investments.

Green taxation, regional green development and innovation: Mechanisms of influence and policy optimization

As the severity of global climate change escalates, carbon peak and carbon neutrality have emerged as international imperatives. Green taxation, a crucial fiscal strategy promoting the transition to a green low-carbon economy, demands thorough investigation regarding its efficacy and operational mechanisms. Predominantly, existing research has concentrated on the macroeconomic implications of green taxes, while their influence on regional green growth and innovation remains underexplored. This paper delineates green taxation in both a broad and narrow sense, elucidating its essence and potential in stimulating regional green progress and innovation. Utilizing panel data from 30 provinces in China spanning 2004 to 2021, a bidirectional fixed-effects model was developed for empirical analysis. Moreover, an impact mechanism model was constructed to delve into how green taxation specifically affects regional green development and innovation. Findings reveal that green taxation significantly fosters regional green growth and markedly enhances green innovation. Nonetheless, due to the resource crowding-out effect, it adversely impacts the comprehensive innovation capabilities of regional enterprises. This insight offers a fresh perspective on the paradoxical effects of green taxation, underscoring the necessity for a balanced approach in policy design and implementation. Drawing on these conclusions, the paper presents tailored policy recommendations.
