However, the distinctiveness between them and traditional SMEs in this process remains undiscussed. This paper investigates how different partnerships influence knowledge-intensive SMEs' innovative performance by demonstrating the organisational learning capability mechanism. Based on the survey data from 248 Chinese knowledge-intensive SMEs, this paper finds that both market-based and science-based partnerships play nonnegligible roles in knowledge-intensive SMEs' innovative performance, and organisational learning capability partially mediates these relationships. In addition, when the environmental turbulence increases, knowledge-intensive SMEs prefer science-based partnerships. The research results indicate that knowledge-intensive SMEs have different partner selection strategies for open innovation compared to traditional SMEs, which could be affected by the turbulence of the external environment. This study sheds light on the relationship between open innovation and the performance of knowledge-intensive SMEs.","PeriodicalId":45884,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Technology Innovation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42867718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using innovation diffusion theory, this study employs three characteristics of innovation (relative advantage, trialability, and compatibility) to examine which constructs influence airline passenger attitude toward, trust in, and intention to use SBD kiosks. Results of an online survey of 330 Koreans reveal that among the three characteristics of innovation, relative advantage and trialability positively affect attitude toward and trust in SBD service providers and kiosks, and compatibility affects only passenger attitude toward and trust in SBD kiosks. Results also show that trust in SBD service providers is positively related to trust in SBD kiosks, which in turn influences passenger intention to utilise SBD services. Several theoretical and practical implications are suggested.","PeriodicalId":45884,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Technology Innovation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43940729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on survey data on 770 rice and wheat farmers in Hubei and Henan provinces in China, the endogenous switching probit model was used to verify the influence of TikTok usage on the adoption of Green Control Techniques (GCT). We found that farmers’ adoption probability of GCT will be significantly increased by 9.3–11.8% with their use of TikTok to browse GCT content. This shows that TikTok is an effective way to extend GCT. Furthermore, TikTok can complement traditional offline training as a digital agriculture extension for small-scale, older, and non-plain-area farmers, who are often of unequal status and are unable to obtain government agricultural extension services. These findings evaluate the effectiveness of short video software as a digital agriculture extension platform, which contributes to the rapid and effective extension of GCT. It is suggested that more GCT online promotion platforms should be built and applied in China.","PeriodicalId":45884,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Technology Innovation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43691756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The media is a window through which innovation is highlighted in which fields. We conducted a comparative study with North America to comparatively analyze how startup innovation in East Asia appeared. This study used a set of computer analysis methods including Dirichlet-multinomial regression Topic Model and Topic network analysis. News articles from 2000 to 2019 were collected from East Asia and North America and were analysed on the topic of start-ups. The results indicated that the discourse of start-ups from East Asia and North America in the 2000s and 2010s showed distinctly different trends. The East Asia media changed its focus from an innovation economy to an emerging industry: mobility & energy, while the North American media showed a change from revenue sources to the benefit of innovation. In the discourse of start-ups in East Asia, the government-centred innovative economy was emphasised in the 2000s, and expectations for emerging industries such as mobility and energy increased after the 2010s. Meanwhile, in the discourse of start-ups in North America, revenue sources were emphasised in the 2000s, and the proportion of beneficiaries of innovation increased after the 2010s.","PeriodicalId":45884,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Technology Innovation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46486674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We employed an in-depth longitudinal case study of the acquisition of Volvo Cars by Geely, supplementing the case study with patent portfolio analysis and business analysis. We link innovation and cross-border M&A literature to address co-creation post-M&A. The findings showed how the high level of freedom given to the acquired firm allowed it to preserve innovation capacity and, later, successfully integrate with the acquirer.

It is found that government subsidies significantly promote the output of innovation results, and this effect has a time lag. Executive compensation incentives will weaken the current policy effect, and the benefit convergence effect produced by equity incentives can reverse executives’ short-sighted thinking. Although the current impact of equity incentives is not significant, it can play a substantial synergistic effect in the first and second lag periods. It is proved that the green innovation of heavy pollution enterprises can not only consider the impact of exogenous policy but ignore the perfection of internal governance mechanism.","PeriodicalId":45884,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Technology Innovation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49534578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the moderating factors of the relationship between leadership types and followers’ performance have been underexplored. This study investigates the moderating role of a leader’s narcissism in the relationship between leadership types (transformational and transactional) and follower performance in technology and nontechnology industries. We analyze the results of a survey of 46 chief executive officers and 205 followers at 46 large companies in Korea, of which 30 are in the technology sector and 16 are in nontechnology industries. The results show that a leader’s narcissism mitigates the positive relationship between transformational leadership and followers’ performance. Moreover, a leader’s narcissism strengthens the negative relationship between transactional leadership and followers’ performance. When industry type is considered, this effect remains evident only in the technology sector. These findings suggest that the moderating role of narcissism in the relationship between leadership and follower outcomes can be industry-specific. The results contribute to theoretical discussions about the relationship between leadership types and followers’ performance and its moderating factors.","PeriodicalId":45884,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Technology Innovation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43395466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To verify our hypotheses, we conduct a comparative empirical study based on the data of overseas and domestic M&As of Chinese enterprises from 2000 to 2019. We find that for overseas M&As, the influence of integration degree on technology innovation depends on the resource characteristics of the two merging parties. In cases of high resource similarity and low resource complementarity, the degree of integration positively affects technology innovation, while in cases of low resource similarity and high resource complementarity, the degree of integration negatively affects technology innovation.
