The study utilizes survey data from 100 senior executives and managers in the strategic planning and innovation functions from manufacturing firms in Malaysia.

Other measures of business dynamism such as the job reallocation rate are consistent with this trend, raising serious concern given the importance that young, high growth, firms have in employment. The timing of this decline coincides with the start of a steady increase in the age of the United States workforce which has accelerated along with the aging of the baby boomers. I document an empirical `hump shape' between an individual's propensity to select into entrepreneurship as they age. I then construct life cycle model of entrepreneurial choice that accounts for this hump shape, and study a number of channels that link demographic forces to entrepreneurial selection. I find that demographic channels can account for a large portion of the recent decline in startup activity and predict a continued decline as the pool of potential entrepreneurs continues to age. I conclude with a discussion of the potential policy tools that will affect individual's life cycle risk attitudes and the predicted effects that such measures will have on the rate of new business startups.","PeriodicalId":419336,"journal":{"name":"Management of Innovation eJournal","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134209496","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}

With that in mind, a possibility is regarded as to abandon the cluster strategy that has already been initiated and even, subject to the relevant threats of the regional economic environment, to abandon it and switch to another strategy. In this case, the strategy is set in the form of an optimal portfolio of major companies representing the respective economic sectors of a region, following which the cluster strategy is investigated for any possibility to abandon its implementation at any time within the planning horizon, other than the last year. In order to manage the risks of the industrial innovation cluster evolution, this article employed a real put option technology to abandon the strategy. As a function that most adequately characterizes the present state and prospects for the development of individual companies and industries, it is possible to use a level of market capitalization by value. And as a cash flow of industrial projects, it is possible to use an incremental cash flow representing a difference between the market capitalization values from time to time. This cluster evolution risk management philosophy utilizing the real option techniques eventually allows to adjust the global regional strategy when required.","PeriodicalId":419336,"journal":{"name":"Management of Innovation eJournal","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133482661","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 dynamic and rapidly changing business environment and the increasingly intensive competition suggest that companies require ongoing monitoring of the market, the behaviour and preferences of their customers and their competitors. Frequently updated information enables the firm to proactively, rather than reactively, act towards its competitors and clientele. The paper proposes and analyzes various methodologies and frameworks that employ the mobile labour of firms (such as technicians and maintenance personnel) for gathering information on the premises of clients and their surrounding neighbourhood. As mobile workers already gain access to the client and insights about the product or the service provided by their firm, they can broaden the scope of information gathered from her. The data streams continuously provided by mobile workers require IT infrastructure for transferring, structuring and processing this information to enrich managers and strategic decision makers within the firm with up-to-date, real world insights. The study presents the methodology and proposes different IT architectures that can support the implementation of mobile intelligence gathering in a variety of organizations.","PeriodicalId":419336,"journal":{"name":"Management of Innovation eJournal","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125386811","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, developers face many challenges in bringing an ISD project to successful completion. These projects are often large and highly complex, with volatile targets, creating a stressful environment for developers. Although prior literature has considered how technical ISD risk factors, such as project size, complexity, and target volatility, affect team-and project-level outcomes, their effects on developers have received limited attention. This gap in the literature is problematic for two reasons: 1 the interplay between developers and project characteristics are unaccounted for, resulting in an incomplete picture of ISD; and 2 developer stress has been shown to reduce team performance. In this research, we examine the role of empowering leadership in reducing developer stress in ISD. We develop a multilevel model of the effect of empowering leadership on the relationship between technical ISD risk factors and developers' role perceptions, and explore the consequences for developers' stress. The model was tested in a field study of 350 developers in 73 ISD teams from a large U.S.-based firm. Results showed that empowering leadership ameliorated the negative effects of project size and target volatility on role ambiguity as well as the negative effects of project size, complexity, and target volatility on role conflict and stress. We also found that empowering leadership reduced role ambiguity, role conflict, and stress directly, and that role ambiguity and role conflict increased stress. Project size, complexity, and target volatility were found to increase empowering leadership behaviors. We conclude that empowering leadership can be an effective means of helping developers cope with technical ISD risk factors and discuss the implications of our findings for research and practice. \u0000 \u0000The online appendix is available at https://doi.org/10.1287/isre.2017.0716 .","PeriodicalId":419336,"journal":{"name":"Management of Innovation eJournal","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126829603","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}
