Strategie innowacji produktowych chińskich producentów na rynku samochodów elektrycznych

Product innovation strategies of Chinese EV manufacturers Climate change and the effects of global warming are one of the most important problems in the modern world. The effects of these phenomena affect the everyday life of societies and the functioning of enterprises, industries, and entire sectors of the world economy. Therefore, appropriate legal and economic regulations have been and are being introduced at state level. Reducing exhaust emissions is the primary goal of electrification of the automotive industry, because the internal combustion engine is inefficient in terms of energy (it burns a lot of fuel and emits large amounts of harmful exhaust gases). The result of this transformation of the automotive industry is the creation of a new product, the electric car (EV), which makes possible the decarbonization of transport. In 2022, global EV sales totaled 10.5 million units, an increase of 55% compared to the previous year. The largest increase in EV sales in the world was once again recorded in China: by 82% year-on-year. China is by far the largest EV market, accounting for 59% of global EV sales in 2022. Currently, the dynamic nature of the market environment for electric car companies influences the development of product innovations. The basis for shaping product strategies is the company’s designated goal, the size and structure of its resources, and its innovative potential. The size and structure of the resources at its disposal and its skills (especially in the field of research and development, technology and financial resources) determine the possibilities of taking creative actions in the field of products. This potential directly affects the range of products offered, their technical level and quality. Activities located within the company’s long-term strategy should take into account changes in buyer preferences, technological progress, activities of competitors, as well as innovative activities of enterprises from supporting industries. Vehicle manufacturers are introducing more and more EV models, contributing to the electrification of road transport. They see the direction of development in the coming years and know that the expansion of the BEV market is inevitable. However, many automakers have different strategies for transitioning to EVs. Tesla has been producing EVs from the beginning and has become a market leader, meeting consumer expectations by introducing various product innovations in terms of energy consumption, charging speed, and range on a single charge. Chinese manufacturers, like BYD or Geely, have started to play a significant role in this race. The aim of the article is to discuss the basic forms of product innovation used by Chinese EV manufacturers. Additionally, the authors of the article try to answer the question as to whether Chinese EV manufacturers are able to achieve a significant share in other world markets by using product innovations in their EV vehicles, compared to their competitors’ meeting customer needs.

Resource orchestration in Indian ethnic entrepreneurial enterprises through generation change in Malaysia

Ethnic entrepreneurial enterprises are continuously evolving, especially when generations change. As these changes take place, resources are also orchestrated differently. However, research gap exists on how resources are orchestrated in ethnic entrepreneurial enterprises through generational change. We answer this question by adopting a qualitative approach based on data from eleven ethnic entrepreneurial enterprises that have experienced generational succession. The data was then analysed by adopting a novel approach of artificial intelligence. Our results suggest that the orchestration in class and ethnic resources has equipped the later generation ethnic entrepreneurs with capabilities to expand and develop their ethnic entrepreneurial enterprises. We emphasize the importance of orchestrating resources in ethnic entrepreneurial enterprises for product innovation, market growth and business development as generations change. The use of artificial intelligence technique enables underlying patterns in ethnic entrepreneurship to be discovered, which assist practitioners in making the best decisions concerning entrepreneurial efforts. This study invites entrepreneurs to comprehend the importance of orchestrating resources for entrepreneurial decision-making in business expansion and development, especially in ethnic entrepreneurial enterprises. With novelty in the methodological application, we extend a cordial invitation to erudite scholars to apply artificial intelligence technique within qualitative research to achieve precision and nuances.

The success factors can assist in recognising the collaboration stakeholders (university, industry, and government) and enhancing the current practices in university-industry research collaboration in Malaysia. This enhances the effectiveness of the collaboration project, which contributes to a significant impact on the stakeholders involved.

Cluster Mechanism for the Implementation of Industrial Changes in the Russian Economy: The Formation of a Database

Prospects for the development of the domestic economy are determined by the dynamics and pace of industrial changes in the sectors of the industrial sector, the scale and speed of transformation of the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of key industrial resources. This presupposes the implementation of such industrial policy mechanisms that will contribute to solving the problems of accelerated build-up of one's own technological and production potential. The article considers the cluster format of cooperation as one of the mechanisms for implementing industrial changes at the present stage of economic development. An assessment of the current dynamics of cluster interaction between economic entities in domestic practice indicates that the highest level of cooperation, both in the development of product and process innovations, is characteristic of the extractive sector of industry, while in the manufacturing industry, the level of cooperation is higher, the lower the technological level of production in a branch. On the one hand, such trends determine the need for a substantive study of cluster cooperation in the domestic industry, and on the other hand, they update the formation of databases that characterize the most important aspects of the functioning of organizations implementing cluster initiatives. In this article, the authors propose an approach to assessing cluster cooperation of economic entities in the industrial sector, which provides an assessment of the effect of the inclusion of enterprises in the industrial sector of the economy into a cluster association, as well as taking into account such a parameter of cluster interaction as connectedness. The authors formulate a conclusion about the presence of a high degree of relationship between the goals of industrial development and the type of cluster cooperation of enterprises in the industrial sector of the economy.
