Major problems in battery waste management currently stem from the lack of transparency and leakage in the logistics chain that leads to recycling facilities. The Internet of Things (IoT) technology offers significant potential for mitigating these issues. Previous research on IoT adoption has often focused on technical dimensions and neglected social dynamics. This study employs a qualitative approach with Actor-Network Theory (ANT) as the primary analytical framework to develop an IoT adoption framework for electric car battery waste management in Indonesia. This study uses ANT perspective to map the dynamic interactions between human and non-human actors within socio-technical networks. The findings identify ten human actors, including the government, electric car manufacturers, formal waste managers, the chief executive officer (CEO) of the formal waste manager, IoT providers, IoT technology producers, academics, researchers, electric car users, and society. Three non-human actors were identified: policies, IoT standards, and IoT devices, including near-field communication (NFC), Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN). The findings also indicate that the government plays a crucial role in driving technology adoption. The proposed framework emphasizes that technological innovation must be accompanied by a supportive policy ecosystem and all stakeholders in the socio-technical network.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity","volume":"12 1","pages":"Article 100749"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147394695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study addresses this gap by examining how AI shocks shape employment dynamics in South Africa’s manufacturing sector—a pivotal industry characterised by structural unemployment and uneven technological readiness. Using quarterly data (2014–2024) and a Structural Vector Autoregression (SVAR) model, we find that a positive AI shock triggers an immediate and statistically significant contraction in employment. This negative effect, consistent with task-based theory, persists over the short to medium term, with variance decomposition showing that AI shocks account for nearly 30 % of forecast-error variance in manufacturing employment over a ten-quarter horizon. These findings demonstrate the distinct risks of automation in developing economies and underscore the urgent need for policies that foster human-AI complementarity, such as reskilling and incentives for labour-augmenting technologies. Beyond its employment effects, the study contributes to open-innovation research by demonstrating how AI diffusion shapes technological learning and adaptive industrial capacity in South Africa’s manufacturing sector. The results provide policy guidance for aligning AI adoption with labour market priorities to support inclusive and innovation-oriented industrial growth.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity","volume":"12 1","pages":"Article 100696"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145692440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A quantitative, non-experimental and cross-sectional design was applied to a sample of 668 Spanish third-sector organisations. The instrument, based on the theoretical framework of the Social Innovation Capabilities Model, was validated through expert judgement, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, and predictive models using logistic regression and neural networks. The results confirmed a five-factor structure—social orientation, social capillarity, participatory governance, adaptability, and innovation management—with high internal consistency and excellent model fit indices (α = 0.95; CFI = 0.97; RMSEA = 0.065). The logistic and neural analyses demonstrated the predictive validity of the construct, highlighting participatory governance and adaptability as the most influential dimensions in generating social innovation. These findings substantiate the robustness of the scale and the coherence between theoretical and empirical evidence. The validated instrument represents a relevant methodological contribution to the empirical study of social innovation and provides a practical tool for diagnosing, comparing, and enhancing innovative capacity within social organisations. The study advances understanding of how collaborative, adaptive, and participatory organisational dynamics drive innovation in the third sector, reinforcing the link between social innovation and open innovation paradigms and offering valuable insights for research, public policy, and institutional development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity","volume":"12 1","pages":"Article 100702"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145938923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its governance structure is insufficient, particularly in the recognition and professionalization of Amil (zakat managers). The Amil profession is considered inadequately recognized by law and insufficiently protected, primarily due to the absence of a comprehensive regulatory framework that undermines the overall effectiveness of zakat institutions. Therefore, this study aims to improve zakat governance in Indonesia by implementing and institutionalizing Good Amil Governance (GAG). It analyses 12 essential dimensions of GAG, pinpointing significant structural challenges and strategic priorities using the Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) and the Analytic Network Process (ANP). Through focus group discussions and comprehensive interviews, this study identified six dimensions as causes and six dimensions as effects within the GAG framework. The fundamental structural challenges include the absence of a comprehensive governmental policy on human resource management, inadequate professional competence among Amil, and insufficient certification systems. The strategic priorities emphasize the formulation of comprehensive HR governance policies, the implementation of targeted HR management systems, and the augmentation of capacity-building initiatives for Amil. Moreover, this study introduces an innovative structural policy model by combining DEMATEL-ANP to connect institutional governance with Amil welfare, a subject rarely explored in previous zakat literature. This study provides important recommendations for the government to ensure clear career paths and welfare schemes for Amil through various policies and regulations, as well as to enhance the role of Zakat Institutions in the national economy. This is because zakat institution regulations are still uneven across regions, requiring coordinated regulatory reform. Moreover, current zakat regulations only stipulate the percentage that may be treated as Amil costs, but do not broadly outline the career path for Amil in Indonesia. The results highlight the imperative for standardized governance innovations to improve the professionalism and sustainability of the zakat ecosystem. Future research should examine cross-national policy adaptations and institutional differences to improve and broaden the GAG model.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity","volume":"12 1","pages":"Article 100711"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145939005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Employing the mixed data sampling (MIDAS) approach shows that ESGUI exerts a negative effect on the realized volatility of cryptocurrency markets. One possible explanation for this linkage is that as sustainability-related uncertainty rises, investors tend to adopt sustainability practices and initiatives.

Moreover, the value recovery of used products (VR) contributed significantly to the practices of the circular economy (CEP) that resulted in sustainable industry (SI). Value recovery actions such as the recycling and repackaging of used plastics, bottles, and cans from the food and beverage industry not only provided cost and waste reduction, but also enabled the principles of the circular economy and reduced the exploitation of natural resources.

This study develops and empirically tests a Contingent Institutional Model of Innovation, which conceptualizes legalization as a necessary but insufficient condition for technological advancement. Its impact depends on the complementarity among regulatory coherence, research capacity, and institutional legitimacy. Using a longitudinal panel of 15 countries from 2000 to 2023, the analysis integrates a Fixed-Effects Negative Binomial model with a dynamic staggered Difference-in-Differences framework to disentangle structural determinants from causal policy effects. Results show that research and development (R&amp;D) expenditure, scientific publications, and clinical trials significantly increase patenting activity (p &lt; 0.01), while legalization alone yields heterogeneous and context-dependent outcomes. Countries with strong R&amp;D systems and coherent regulatory frameworks such as the United States translate legalization into measurable technological gains, whereas weaker institutional contexts experience muted or negative effects. These findings advance innovation theory by reframing legalization as a contingent institutional process rather than a linear policy driver. For managers and policymakers, aligning legalization with targeted R&amp;D incentives, effective intellectual property (IP) protection, and research-industry collaboration is essential to convert regulatory reform into sustained innovation.
