Thankfully, the previous editor teams, most recently Beth Davis-Sramek and Glenn Richey, are handing over the Journal in excellent shape. Submissions, acceptance rates, turnaround times, and impact factors all firmly place JBL among the small set of leading journals in the broader supply chain management space. We do not take this success for granted. In a world of AI, rising expectations for academic promotion and tenure, and dynamic global business challenges, emerging as a journal of choice is not an easy feat. To best serve our readers, authors, and engaged community members, JBL needs to continuously improve.</p><p>To this end, we have spent considerable time reflecting on JBL's legacy and its role within the discipline. In addition, we sought the perspectives of a broad array of JBL stakeholders. This process has revealed both clarity and questions about who we are, what we value, and how to best lead JBL forward. In this editorial, we outline the principles, priorities, and expectations that will guide our editorship over the next 4 years. We particularly focus on three pillars: the Journal's identity, theoretical and methodological expectations, and guidelines to consider when authoring and reviewing research for JBL. While an exhaustive treatment of each issue is beyond the scope here, we think of this first editorial as a roadmap and conversation starter that will evolve as we continue to listen and engage with our community.</p><p>JBL, as a premier supply chain journal, publishes high-quality empirical and conceptual research that shapes scholarly discourse, informs managerial practice, and in so doing engages a global audience. While some journals intentionally narrow their scope or privilege certain paradigms, JBL remains committed to a broad and inclusive view of global supply chain scholarship. We believe that strong research can come from any thought tradition, theoretical foundation, level of analysis, or method, as long as it advances the scholarly and practical understanding of how supply chains function and provide utility.</p><p>Besides interesting and impactful research questions that are firmly positioned within the broader supply chain management space, all research published in JBL must be executed and presented in ways that maintain the reputation and integrity of the Journal. This requires that published research make compelling use of extant theory to frame and develop its contributions. Moreover, the research must uphold and, in some cases, advance methodological standards. Considering our desire to shape and lead academic discourse in the discipline as well as the practical visibility and impact of the work published in JBL, rigorous execution is paramount.

Using a causal map representation of VSK, we demonstrate that refinement and conviction independently drive personal financial investment, while also acting as substitutes when one pathway reaches its limits. Our findings extend entrepreneurial action theory by highlighting the distinct cognitive processes underlying VSK.

While innovation increasingly relies on openness, deglobalization fosters more polarized and nationally bounded systems. In this context, understanding how local innovation ecosystems respond remains a critical yet underexplored question. This study redefines local innovation ecosystem resilience as a multidimensional coping mechanism, encompassing both structural and psychological dimensions. Drawing on existing literature, we conceptualize resilience as the integration of entrepreneurial orientation (innovativeness, proactiveness, and risk-taking) with cognitive and affective responses to uncertainty. Through two experimental studies, we examine how innovation ecosystem resilience mediates the effect of high (vs. low) deglobalization on intentions to invest in new technologies. The first study operationalizes resilience via entrepreneurial orientation, while the second study captures cognitive and emotional coping mechanisms. Results show that high degrees of globalisation increase intentions to invest in technological innovation, and that this relationship is mediated by ecosystem resilience across both structural and psychological dimensions. Furthermore, we identify a moderating effect of local ecosystem ethnocentricity: higher ethnocentric tendencies strengthen the positive link between deglobalization and investment intentions. This research advances theory on innovation ecosystems by demonstrating that resilience, anchored in both entrepreneurial structures and psychological adaptability, plays a critical role in enabling strategic responses to global disruptions. Implications for policy and management include fostering resilience-oriented mindsets and capabilities to sustain innovation amid growing geopolitical and economic volatility.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":"148 ","pages":"Article 103334"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144852654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, this effect is reversed when the product emphasizes gentleness-related (vs. strength-related) attributes (Study 3). Study 4 further documents the downstream effect of the saturation-performance relationship, demonstrating that enhanced product performance judgments driven by high color saturation increase the likelihood of consumers' product choices.
