There are two main purposes of the provided article. The first purpose is to develop a methodological framework for category management of operational resources supply for large industrial enterprises. Secondly, it aims to offer a mechanism for inter-organizational collaboration with suppliers and contractors in supply chains. This study is based on the methods of forecasting of the uncertain stock demand. Time-series and correlation-regression models are used for forecasting. The first finding of the research is the systematization and classification of the operational resources purchased by industrial enterprises. Modified models of operational resources inventory management and a methodology for assessing tied-up losses are offered in this article and, they are based on category management. A developed methodology allows one to make strategic decisions in the field of procurement. According to the preliminary estimates, implementation of the proposed approaches increases net profit in large industrial companies by 4–5 % in relative periods.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46792,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Innovation & Knowledge","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":15.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2444569X24000465/pdfft?md5=109671e59e955cb7eac63ea64a78cebf&pid=1-s2.0-S2444569X24000465-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141952526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In fact, some innovations display network elements and require more than one firm to take them up in order to be successful and deliver the intended results. Such is the case of NDC (new distribution capability), an airline-fostered enhancement of the way air travel services are conveyed and distributed from carriers to travel agents. The promise behind NDC is that travel services will be sold more richly and within a more open and inclusive framework. We draw on the diffusion of innovations, institutional theory, and agency theory to review the determinants of adoption and its effects on performance for service providers. We use the International Air Transport Association (IATA) ticket database to establish the role that institutional pressure plays on innovation behaviours and firms’ results. We find that institutional pressure, not just innovation attributes, influence outcomes. Also, given each player's different incentives and the asymmetry of information, ticket sales are selectively distributed in ways that fit the agent and only occasionally the airline principal. Thus, we conclude that travel intermediaries assess outcomes wholistically and that the innovation's revenue uplift depends on such assessment.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46792,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Innovation & Knowledge","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":15.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2444569X24000829/pdfft?md5=c0ff09e4127364be9c42a0a8840f61cb&pid=1-s2.0-S2444569X24000829-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142048426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, the authors explore how advances in quantum computing, which can be used to process huge amounts of data quickly and accurately, could offer an unprecedented opportunity for researchers to address the challenges of the digital ecosystem. Three studies are presented to define the state of the art and future expectations of quantum computing in market research and business. By means of a bibliometric analysis of 209 publications and a content analysis of the 30 highest-impact articles, we describe the present landscape, and also forecast the future with the help of in-depth interviews with eight experts. The findings reveal that the US and China are at the forefront of scientific development, but the contributions from four other countries (India, the UK, Canada and Spain) are also in double figures. However, graphical analysis identifies four poles of development: the US orbit, which includes Canada and Spain; the Chinese orbit, which includes India; the UK orbit; and the Australian orbit.

Collaborative knowledge creation is pivotal in ensuring long-term sustainability of the ecosystem; knowledge sharing can take place by steering trust judgments toward fostering reciprocity. Drawing on a longitudinal case study of the Open Subsurface Data Universe ecosystem, we investigate the intricate interplay between trust and power and its pivotal influence on ecosystem governance. Our investigation charts the trajectory of trust and power institutionalization and reveals how it synergistically contributes to the emergence of comprehensive hybrid governance strategies. We make the following two contributions to extant research. First, we elucidate a perspective on the conceptual interplay between power and trust, conceiving these notions as mutual substitutes and complements. Together, they synergistically foster the institutionalization and dynamic governance processes in open-source ecosystems. Second, we contribute to the governance literature by emphasizing the significance of viewing governance as a configuration of institutionalization processes and highlighting the creation of hybrid forms of governance in complex innovation initiatives.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46792,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Innovation & Knowledge","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":15.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2444569X24000623/pdfft?md5=86753516711ccd63238c45dbf41b581f&pid=1-s2.0-S2444569X24000623-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141952525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is an important factor in enabling science to respond to societal challenges related to sustainability. However, its didactics are currently underdeveloped. Experiential learning plays an important role in SBEE. Against this background, the current study addresses the following research question: What are the specifications of experiential learning for further developing the didactics of SBEE, as identified through systematic assessment? The study reveals that significant improvement is possible when systematic attention is paid to the implementation of four core activities of experiential learning: bringing real-worldness into the learning setting, recognising the ill-defined nature of management problems and entrepreneurial challenges, encouraging involvement in the execution of management interventions, and highlighting the importance of reflection. Furthermore, we draw upon the literature stating that for a <em>transformative</em> experiential learning effect, the sole focus on a business logic in current SBEE needs to be transcended to enable such entrepreneurship and sustainability education to contribute to the kind of out-of-the-box technological innovation solutions required for the current, pressing sustainability challenges that society faces.

It also examines how technological alliances moderate the relationship between SKP characteristics and originator follow-on innovations. An analysis of 62 firms over 10 years confirms that while the technological diversity of the SKP has a positive impact on the originator's innovation, the technological overlap of the SKP relative to the originator's knowledge has a negative impact. Furthermore, technological alliances enhance the positive effect of technological diversity while exacerbating the adverse effects of technological overlap. This study contributes to the literature on knowledge spillover, particularly within the knowledge-based view of firms, by providing a balanced perspective that addresses the dual impact of knowledge spillover on originator firms. Furthermore, this research highlights the contingent effects of knowledge spillover by examining the interplay between spillover phenomena and strategic factors, specifically technological alliances.

The SRCM is designed to foster an environment conducive to creativity, innovation, and collaboration among academics to augment universities’ research capabilities and competitiveness. The model's development roadmap, depicted in Figure 1, comprises four pivotal stages: preparation, empowerment strategies, university-recognised research ID, and evaluation and re-enhancement. The SRCM implementation is structured across three layers: input, data mining and ranking, and recommendations and assessments. An extensive literature review identifies ten principal procedures further evaluated by experts. This study utilises Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) to analyse these procedures’ interactions and hierarchical relationships, revealing a high degree of interdependence and complexity within the SRCM framework. Key procedures with significant influence include determining the input data sources and collecting comprehensive lists of university scientists and researchers. Despite its innovative approach, SRCM faces challenges, such as data quality, ethical considerations, and adaptability to diverse academic contexts. Future developments in data collection methodologies, and addressing privacy issues, will enhance the long-term effectiveness of SRCM in academic environments. This study contributes to the theoretical understanding of academic evaluation systems and offers practical insights for universities that aim to implement sophisticated data-centric classification models. For example, by implementing data-centric models, universities can objectively assess faculty performance for promotion or tenure. These models enable comprehensive evaluations based on publication records, citation counts, and teaching evaluations, fostering a culture of excellence and guiding faculty development initiatives. Despite its limitations, SRCM has emerged as a promising tool for transforming higher education institutions’ academic management and evaluation processes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46792,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Innovation & Knowledge","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":15.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2444569X24000556/pdfft?md5=b300bbbdb84dbccf961afaac7518255d&pid=1-s2.0-S2444569X24000556-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141961981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
