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.

Effect of Gypsum, Cover Crop, and Crop Rotation on Bulk Density and Aggregate Properties of Soils

ABSTRACT Soybean production, worldwide, typically involves full tillage resulting in much less biomass than other crops, leading to decreased soil organic matter and increased soil degradation. The goal of this study was to evaluate the potential benefits of an innovative management system that includes the combinations of no-till, crop rotation, cover crop, and gypsum application on continuous soybean production. The response of soil physical properties, i.e. bulk density and water-stable aggregates, was evaluated across a range of soil types and climatic conditions. Treatments consisted of comparing (1) continuous soybean to a soybean-corn and corn-soybean rotation, (2) cereal rye [Secale cereale (L.)] cover crop to no cover crop, and (3) gypsum surface‐applied at 0, 1.1, and 2.2 Mg ha−1. The study was replicated at four different sites in the United States, including Shorter (AL), Farmland (IN), Hoytville (OH), and Piketon (OH). At the end of the 5-year study, soil bulk density and aggregate stability were determined. Soil bulk density and water-stable aggregates were unaffected by gypsum addition regardless of the location. Including cereal rye as a winter cover increased soil aggregation and bulk density at the Hoytville location only. Rotating the soybeans with corn (compared to continuous soybeans) resulted in soil aggregation and bulk density improvements at all research locations. Results indicated that soybean production that included crop rotation into management system improved soil aggregate stability, whereas cover crop benefits were less effective and amending the soil with gypsum did not significantly affect these soil properties.

An Evolutionary Game Model of Market Participants and Government in Carbon Trading Markets with Virtual Power Plant Strategies

The utilization of conventional energy sources commonly leads to heightened energy consumption and the generation of specific forms of environmental pollution. As an innovative power management and dispatch system, virtual power plants (VPPs) have the potential to significantly enhance the flexibility and stability of power systems, while supporting carbon reduction targets by integrating distributed energy resources (DERs), energy management systems (EMSs), and energy storage systems (ESSs), which have attracted much attention in the power industry in recent years. Consequently, it can effectively address the variability and management challenges introduced by renewable energy. Furthermore, optimizing power market dispatch and user-side power management plays a pivotal role in promoting the transition of the energy industry towards sustainable development. The current study highlights the unresolved issue of strategic decision-making among market participants, such as energy companies, generation companies, and power distribution companies, despite the potentially significant benefits of VPPs. These entities must carefully evaluate the costs and benefits associated with adopting a VPP. Additionally, governments face the complex task of assessing the feasibility and effectiveness of providing subsidies to incentivize VPP adoption. Previous research has not adequately explored the long-term evolution of these decisions in a dynamic market environment, leading to a lack of adequate understanding of optimal strategies for market participants and regulators. This paper addresses this critical research gap by introducing an innovative bilateral evolutionary game model that integrates VPP and carbon trading markets. By utilizing the model, simulation experiments are carried out to compare different strategic decisions and analyze the stability and long-term evolution of these strategies. Research findings indicate that the adoption of VPP technology by market participants, in conjunction with government policies, results in an average 90% increase in market participants’ earnings, while government revenues see a 35% rise. This approach provides an alternative method for understanding the dynamic interactions between market participants and government policy, offering both theoretical and practical insights. The findings significantly contribute to the literature by proposing a robust framework for integrating VPPs into electricity markets, while offering valuable guidance to policymakers and market participants in developing effective strategies to support the sustainable energy transition. The application of this model has not only enhanced the understanding of market dynamics in theory, but also provided quantitative support for strategic decisions under different market conditions in practice.
