However, understanding remains limited from the perspective of Necessary Condition Analysis, leaving a notable gap in circular economy research that explicitly applies Necessary Condition Analysis to uncover the hidden conditions necessary for the successful implementation of circular strategies in business organizations. Drawing on the Resource-Based View and Stakeholder Theory, this study combines Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA) to distinguish “should-have” associations from “must-have” thresholds. Using survey data from 209 marble manufacturing firms, we examine eight factors: circular human resource management, circular entrepreneurship, circular marketing, circular financing, circular manufacturing technologies, circular-oriented workplace culture, circular open innovation, and government support. The integrated results show that several internal capabilities and one institutional factor are both necessary and sufficient (circular human resource management, circular entrepreneurship, circular manufacturing technologies, circular-oriented culture, government support), circular open innovation is necessary-only<strong>,</strong> circular financing is sufficient-only, and circular marketing is neither in this context. NCA bottleneck thresholds provide actionable benchmarks indicating minimum levels each necessary condition must meet at different target levels of CEBM adoption. Methodologically, the study demonstrates how a dual-logic approach reveals hidden constraints that sufficiency models alone overlook. Theoretically, it reframes selected capabilities and institutional enablers as foundational preconditions rather than merely supportive resources. Practically, it offers a sequenced roadmap: meet the lowest unmet threshold first, then deploy sufficiency levers to scale circular outcomes supporting managers and policymakers seeking credible pathways toward a regenerative, circular economy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity","volume":"12 1","pages":"Article 100697"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145748556","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}

Against this backdrop, this study examines the relationship between EPU and AI innovation in 34 countries from 2017 to 2023, using quantile regression to delineate heterogeneous effects across the innovation distribution. The results indicate that EPU exerts a significantly negative effect on AI innovation, with disproportionately stronger adverse effects observed in countries at lower innovation quantiles. These results remain robust across pooled ordinary least squares (OLS), fixed and random effects models, generalised method of moments (GMM), and placebo tests. As one of the earliest empirical investigations into the asymmetric effects of EPU on AI innovation, this study contributes novel insights to the open innovation literature and ongoing policy dialogue.

Based on a systematic review of the literature, a critical analysis of helix-based literature published between 2000 and 2025, and the integration of recent contributions from innovation ecology, regenerative economics, complex adaptive systems, and common goods governance, this article develops the conceptual, comparative, and operational contemporary challenges such as climate change, energy transition, ecological degradation, environmental justice, and digital governance. The results show that the SPIRAL model offers a more robust, coherent, and teleologically oriented framework for socio-ecological regeneration.

We build a dataset of 5200 news articles (2021–2024).

The results show a surge in the Hardware domain, a majority of articles in the Solution domain, gradual growth in the Model domain, and a small, stagnant Data domain. We then conduct a network analysis of actors within each domain. The Data domain has a policy driven structure with a relatively high share of government actors. The Hardware, Model, and Solution domains exhibit market driven structures dominated by big-tech firms. University and research institutes play a peripheral role across domains. Connections between domains also change over time. In the early years of the period, the strongest connection is between Solution-Data. By 2024, the strongest connection is between Solution-Hardware. Taken together, these findings suggest that the Korean AI value chain is dominated by large firms that mainly practice closed open innovation. The ecosystem remains in a transformation stage and shows weak integration in and around the Data and Model domains and a limited role for academic actors. Based on this, we argue that Korean AI policy should promote market open innovation through SMEs and start-ups, social open innovation, and closer links across domains and between universities, research institutes, and industry.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity","volume":"12 1","pages":"Article 100737"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147394476","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}

The empirical basis is a panel for the EU-27 spanning 2000–2024, drawn from the Europe Sustainable Development Report, which provides harmonised SDG performance indicators across Member States. First, hierarchical clustering (Ward’s method) is applied to the SDGs to identify groups of goals exhibiting similar trajectories. Three clusters emerge: (i) a socioeconomic–ecological cluster (GT), (ii) a socio-environmental governance cluster (GP), and (iii) a distinct responsible consumption and production cluster (GIS). Second, Multiple Factor Analysis (MFA) is used to examine interdependencies among these clusters within a shared factorial space. The magnitude and statistical significance of relationships are quantified using RV coefficients complemented by permutation-based tests. The findings indicate strong, persistent synergies between GT and GP, with RV coefficients ranging from 0.61 to 0.71 across the study period, reflecting stable alignment between economic development, social well-being, and governance capacity. By contrast, linkages involving GIS are comparatively weak and volatile (RV = 0.03–0.38), suggesting fragmentation in the integration of responsible consumption and production within EU sustainability strategies. Subregional comparisons reveal higher coherence in Northern and Baltic countries than in Southern and Central–Eastern Europe. Overall, the results highlight the critical role of strategic coordination and institutional capacity in reinforcing SDG complementarities. A key limitation is that the analysis is conducted at the goal level; future research should explore indicator-level dynamics and causal mechanisms underpinning observed synergies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity","volume":"12 1","pages":"Article 100740"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147394480","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}

Digital twin (DT) technology has emerged as a critical enabler of real-time system modeling, predictive analysis, and operational optimization; however, its application in aviation has predominantly focused on isolated domains, such as maintenance and component design. This state-of-the-art review critically examines the current landscape of DT adoption across aviation, highlighting its traditional roles and identifying key limitations in addressing holistic sustainability objectives. Drawing insights from advanced implementations in adjacent sectors, including energy, automotive, maritime, and smart cities, the review proposes a comprehensive, multi-domain digital twin framework for sustainable aviation. The framework encompasses six interrelated domains: fuel and propulsion systems, lifecycle sustainability assessment (LCSA), certification support, sustainable airframe design, operational optimization, and end-of-life management. Through this integrated lens, DTs are positioned not merely as tools for performance enhancement but as strategic infrastructures capable of embedding environmental intelligence across the aviation lifecycle. This work synthesizes academic advances and industrial progress between 2010 and 2025, providing a critical foundation for future digital transformation initiatives in aviation. It advocates for the development of interoperable, lifecycle-aware DT architectures to accelerate the sector’s transition toward net-zero emissions and sustainable value creation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity","volume":"12 1","pages":"Article 100693"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145623194","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}
