Its essence lies in the integration of four pillars (dimensions): human-centricity, resilience, environmental sustainability, and the smart use of digital technologies. This new paradigm requires a reassessment of the existing approach to civilizational development and leads to a series of transformations implemented also in the EU-27 countries. The paper presents the Balanced Composite Index Method (BCIM), developed to assess and compare the progress of EU-27 countries in the transformation process within the context of Industry 5.0. The direction of these changes is oriented towards human-centric, resilient, sustainable, and smart development (HRS²-I5). The BCIM introduces a penalty mechanism that adjusts the results of individual countries according to the degree of imbalance among the four identified dimensions of transformation. As a result, strong performance in one area does not fully compensate for weaknesses in others. The dataset used in the study comprises 24 indicators representing social, environmental, digital, and economic dimensions. Through the application of normalization, weighting, and penalty correction procedures, the method provides a more balanced and equitable representation of the developmental profiles of the analyzed countries. The findings reveal significant disparities among EU-27 countries. Nordic and Western European nations dominate the HRS² transformation process, while Central and Eastern European countries lag behind due to uneven progress across dimensions. The developed method and the obtained results offer policymakers a comprehensive diagnostic and analytical tool that enables the identification of structural strengths and weaknesses of individual countries. Moreover, they support the formulation of evidence-based development strategies fostering a sustainable, resilient, and inclusive industrial transformation within the European Union.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity","volume":"11 4","pages":"Article 100685"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145516482","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}

As nations increasingly recognize agritourism's potential, efforts to create suitable locations strategically are becoming a focal point in the tourism industry's evolution towards more sustainable and enriching experiences. The study aims to select the most appropriate destination for sustainable agritourism development in Vietnam using the integrated Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model, Best-Worst method (BWM), and spherical fuzzy Combined compromise solution (SF-CoCoSo) methods. To begin, the DEA model is employed to sift through potential locations. Subsequently, the BWM technique is utilized to establish the significance of the evaluation criteria, while the SF-CoCoSo technique determines the priority of destinations. The result shows that, among the twelve criteria, agricultural product potential (SC1) secures the top rank. After filtering out the five appropriate destinations, LamDong (DMU8) is the best location, promising prospects for promoting sustainable tourism, elevating agricultural value, and bolstering the rural economy. By combining these methodologies, the study seeks to give a thorough and accurate assessment of the sustainability of agritourism locations, enabling policymakers, managers, and investors to make informed decisions about agritourism development. These findings can apply to similar tourism types in the same context or other rural areas in decision-making. Further research on assessing criteria is required to comprehensively cover aspects of sustainable development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity","volume":"11 4","pages":"Article 100652"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145267900","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 is evident in theoretical discussions and at the enterprise level. Today, improving performance and quality, production volume, and even reducing prices is no longer a guarantee of a product's success. These are prevalent innovative strategies that do not necessarily lead to continuous competitiveness for enterprises. In this study’s attitude, innovative concepts do not have a purely economic nature but cover broad and multiple insights. They are essential factors that not only meet people's needs but also touch their inner desires, emotions, and perceptions. The current article deals with innovative species that have experienced other drivers of innovation in addition to technology. In this newer attitude toward innovation, the concept of “human” replaces the idea of “user,” and the innovation factor is related to emotions, meanings, position, and culture. We aim to analyze the components of the non-technological innovation black box from this point of view. This paper proposes a theoretical model and, based on it, introduces a new path for the transition to non-technological innovations. Although it does not neglect technological innovations, it pays more attention to non-technological innovations with the cores of meaning, emotion, and position. We call this new path a non-technological transition, which is a gap in the innovation system and the multilevel perspective (MLP) attitudes. This new paradigm considers the opportunities for non-technological innovations more accessible than technological innovations, especially when there are severe challenges in accessing emerging technologies and technological competition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity","volume":"11 4","pages":"Article 100649"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145155721","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 findings indicate that GNI has implemented several strategic initiatives, including thematic nationalist exhibitions, traditional art training, and digital archiving, which contribute to cultural preservation. It also advances community empowerment through collaborative projects, cultural dialog forums, and public education programs. The use of digital technologies, such as virtual exhibitions and social media, has further expanded access to cultural content, particularly for underrepresented regions.

The explanatory quantitative research design employs purposive sampling, collecting data from 322 respondents (247 MSMEs and 75 start-ups). This extended model is analyzed using variance-based structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and multi-group analysis (MGA). The PLS-SEM results show that for MSMEs, performance expectancy, facilitating conditions, and perceived intelligence significantly influence behavioral intention, which, along with facilitating conditions, drives actual use. Conversely, for startups, performance expectancy and effort expectancy mainly drive behavioral intention, which in turn leads to actual use. Crucially, the MGA confirms significant differences between the two business types in terms of the effect of effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, and perceived intelligence on behavioral intention, as well as the effect of facilitating conditions on actual use. The study’s results contribute to the literature by validating the need for specific technology adoption models.

It also incorporates the role of artificial intelligence (AI) integration and the often-overlooked perspective of consumer behavior and online experience. A quantitative survey of 391 SME businesses (following a pilot survey with 30 enterprises) was conducted to obtain a comprehensive perspective on intention to adopt e-commerce.

These targets require construction and operation of sustainable infrastructure, which may facilitate achievement of economic, environmental, and social goals on equal terms. While existing research has defined the characteristics of sustainable infrastructure, significant knowledge gaps remain regarding their practical implementation and strategies to promote adoption. This paper examines how various public infrastructure managers (state- or municipality-owned companies) across the energy (electricity and heating), transport (air and rail), and water management sectors apply sustainable infrastructure criteria in their operations as well as the reasoning behind their approach. This study uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, including content analysis of 30 reports and structured interviews with 11 experts. The results of the research demonstrate that the companies do consider certain sustainability aspects in their infrastructure development decisions; however, they mostly focus on short- to medium-term benefits rather than long-term gains and radical improvements of their infrastructures and the services they enable. Specifically, resilience to diverse external impacts (including climate hazards) and timely assessment of future risks and their mitigation are rarely considered.
