Prior research has examined the antecedents and performance consequences of knowledge outsourcing from a variance-oriented perspective, but the process by which firms systematically manage knowledge outsourcing across its lifecycle remains theoretically underdeveloped. Therefore, this study addresses this gap through a systematic literature review (SLR) and the development of a novel five-phase knowledge outsourcing framework: Initiate, Plan, Execute, Utilize, and Check. The development of this framework is theoretically grounded in the resource-based view (RBV), knowledge-based view (KBV), and transaction cost economics (TCE). In addition to providing practical guidance for knowledge buyers, the proposed framework offers two key theoretical contributions. First, it articulates the concept of phase-conditional logic: the proposition that decisions made in earlier phases create path-dependent constraints on the decision space available in subsequent phases. Second, it theorizes the differential activation of RBV, KBV, and TCE across phases. Each theory functions as a primary mechanism in some phases and as a moderating influence in others. Based on these theoretical foundations, the study also derives 11 formal propositions. By moving beyond fragmented, outcome-oriented accounts toward a process-based, theory-generating framework, this study advances both the theoretical understanding and practical management of knowledge outsourcing as a dynamic, capability-building mechanism.","PeriodicalId":46792,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Innovation & Knowledge","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148984703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using annual data from 1986 to 2022 and employing the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach, the study explores the short- and long-run relationships among digital transformation, sustainable development, and environmental pollution. The empirical results indicate a stable long-run relationship among the variables. The findings show that digital transformation, particularly internet usage and structural digitalization, is positively and significantly associated with sustainable development in both the short and long run. In contrast, information and communication technology (ICT) service exports exhibit an insignificant association with sustainable development, suggesting that the different dimensions of digitalization have heterogeneous effects and that digital competitiveness alone may not be sufficient to drive sustainable development. Moreover, the results show that ICT service exports and structural digital transformation are associated with lower environmental pollution over time, whereas internet usage does not have a statistically significant impact on environmental pollution despite its negative coefficients. The main results are broadly robust across estimation techniques and alternative specifications. These findings offer valuable insights for policymakers and businesses seeking to align digital transformation processes with long-term sustainability goals.","PeriodicalId":46792,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Innovation & Knowledge","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148984704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It conceptualises social media as digital knowledge ecosystems within the broader framework of digital social innovation. This empirical analysis is based on a comparative dataset of 25,024 respondents from nine European countries, collected from June to July 2025 through quota sampling. A mixed analytical strategy is applied, combining descriptive statistics, non-parametric tests, and ordinal and binary logistic regression models to examine the relationships between social media use, elite perceptions, and democratic evaluations. The findings reveal low to moderate satisfaction with democracy, accompanied by widespread scepticism towards institutional performance and elite behaviour. Most respondents perceive elites as cohesive and self-interested, and these perceptions are strongly associated with lower satisfaction with democracy and negative evaluations of legitimacy and security. The impact of social media is selective rather than uniform. Larger online networks are associated with marginally positive democratic evaluations, while unclear or customised privacy settings are linked to critical attitudes. Cross-platform differences indicate the presence of distinct digital knowledge ecosystems, with alternative platforms associated with higher levels of trust compared to dominant platforms. Overall, this study establishes that social media platforms operate as differentiated knowledge environments that shape trust, legitimacy, and democratic evaluations, providing important implications for digital governance and platform regulation in contemporary democracies.","PeriodicalId":46792,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Innovation & Knowledge","volume":"86 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148984702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper examines how industry context, codified knowledge assets, and website‑based ESG disclosure intensity are associated with revenue and employment growth in early‑stage European digitalised startups with stable online footprints and complete linked data. Using a knowledge‑based and industry‑context framework, we treat sector‑level opportunity and codified knowledge assets as the primary structural and firm‑level conditions, and website‑based ESG disclosure intensity as a comparatively low‑cost, potentially weak signal. The empirical analysis draws on a two‑tier design: a broader frame of 2465 European digitalised startups and a selected analytical sample of 144 ventures for which archived website text, a composite measure of codified knowledge assets, mapped OECD sector‑level contextual proxies, and five‑year growth outcomes are available. In this selected analytical sample, codified knowledge assets are consistently and positively associated with both revenue and employment growth. In contrast, the sector‑level contextual proxy is positively associated only with employment growth. By contrast, website‑based ESG disclosure intensity shows no robust direct association with either growth outcome nor a strong baseline association with codified knowledge. The study offers boundary‑setting evidence on ESG‑growth relationships in early‑stage digitalised startups with observable website disclosure. In this setting, industry context and codified knowledge assets dominate the observed short‑term growth associations, whereas website‑based ESG disclosure intensity functions as a low‑cost signal with limited observable short‑term implications.","PeriodicalId":46792,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Innovation & Knowledge","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148984776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While these applications accelerate innovation cycles, they simultaneously obscure evidential provenance, compromise output reliability, and diffuse accountability when algorithmic insights fail. To address these vulnerabilities, this paper introduces the concept of epistemic resilience, defined as an organizational and ecosystem capability to preserve, adapt, and restore trustworthy knowledge processes amid technological disruption, uncertainty, and epistemic risk. Synthesizing literature across innovation management, organizational learning, knowledge management, social epistemology, research integrity, and human–AI collaboration, this study conceptualizes AI-driven innovation as a sociotechnical knowledge process wherein computational acceleration remains contingent upon the integrity of the underlying epistemic environment. We propose a governance framework structured around four interdependent pillars: epistemic culture and virtues; data and model governance; critical AI literacy and human–AI judgment; and aligned incentives and leadership. Operating across individual, team, organizational, and ecosystem levels, these pillars facilitate the prevention, detection, adaptation, and remediation of epistemic breakdowns. By prioritizing adaptive learning, accountability, trust, and systemic recovery over static oversight, this framework delineates epistemic resilience from adjacent domains such as research integrity, data governance, AI ethics, regulatory compliance, and conventional risk management. Ultimately, this paper establishes a conceptual foundation for trustworthy, AI-augmented innovation and outlines an empirical agenda for operationalizing and cultivating epistemic resilience within organizations.","PeriodicalId":46792,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Innovation & Knowledge","volume":"8 1","pages":"101169"},"PeriodicalIF":18.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149093375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
