Recently, greater practitioner engagement, interdisciplinary integration, process orientation and context-sensitive impact measurement have been proposed as realms of further development. To address these opportunities, we introduce <i>Design Science Research</i> (DSR) as a complementary methodology for CIMR. DSR connects theory and practice through the iterative development of practice-oriented artifacts that are grounded in theory, thus enabling scholars to co-create actionable tools jointly with practitioners. We have adapted DSR to the unique characteristics of CIMR—such as interdisciplinarity, process orientation and pluralist ontological and epistemological positions—by developing the <i>DeepDSR Guide</i>. The DeepDSR Guide supports CIMR scholars in making consistent and reflexive methodological choices throughout DSR projects. We have iteratively developed and validated the DeepDSR Guide with feedback from 21 scholars following a DSR approach. Our study contributes methodologically by adapting DSR to fit the pluralist, creative nature of CIMR and expands the application of DSR in management research.</p>","PeriodicalId":47923,"journal":{"name":"Creativity and Innovation Management","volume":"35 3","pages":"658-695"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/caim.70049","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148667377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sufficiency constitutes an emerging sustainability strategy for businesses that focuses on the absolute reduction of inputs and consumption levels to restrict resource use. This particularly challenges aspects of value generation, strategic orientation, and consumer focus in the context of innovation management. Although sufficiency strategies and business models have been explored, the link to innovation is missing. We review the literature on sufficiency and innovation to create an Innovation for Sufficiency framework that contributes twofold. First, we propose sufficiency-oriented innovation varieties that guide businesses in engaging in sufficiency practices along themes of circularity, product lifecycles, service provision, consumer engagement, and communication. Second, the framework indicates how these innovations direct consumers' consumption behavior toward sufficiency. We identify sufficiency as a driver for innovation, leading to innovative services and innovations that prioritize communication with, participation of, and education of consumers. Specifically, the Innovation for Sufficiency framework positions businesses in close interaction with the demand side by introducing varieties for innovations leading to disruptive consumption strategies for long-term changes toward sufficiency. Our study stimulates the creativity of practitioners to engage in sufficiency through innovation and encourages researchers to focus on understanding the sufficiency concept from the perspectives of specific innovation drivers, strategies, or capabilities.</p>","PeriodicalId":47923,"journal":{"name":"Creativity and Innovation Management","volume":"35 3","pages":"752-769"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/caim.70062","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148667504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Government venture capital (GVC) provides both financial and strategic resources for digital business model innovation (DBMI) and has attracted growing scholarly attention. Drawing on resource-based theory, this study develops a theoretical framework to examine how GVC influences DBMI in high-tech SMEs, with particular attention to the GVC certification hypothesis and resource mechanisms. We measure DBMI in Chinese listed high-tech SMEs using a text analysis approach. This involves constructing and expanding a DBMI lexicon with word vectors based on natural language processing, preprocessing annual report texts, and calculating DBMI levels based on keyword frequencies. Investment data on GVC participation are collected to form an unbalanced panel dataset, and a multiperiod difference-in-differences (DID) model is employed to estimate the direct, mediating, and heterogeneous effects of GVC on DBMI. In addition, a PSM-DID approach is applied to further test the robustness of the results. The empirical results indicate that GVC significantly enhances DBMI in high-tech SMEs. This effect is particularly pronounced in firms characterized by high ownership concentration, nonstate ownership, and CEO nonduality. Furthermore, GVC promotes DBMI by alleviating financing constraints and enhancing firms' intellectual capital. This study contributes to resource-based theory by elucidating the role of digital technology in business model innovation and highlighting the importance of GVC in fostering innovation and growth among high-tech SMEs. The findings offer important theoretical and practical implications for policymakers and business managers, helping high-tech SMEs leverage policy support to advance DBMI.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47923,"journal":{"name":"Creativity and Innovation Management","volume":"35 3","pages":"570-589"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148667536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By incorporating the concepts of resource gain and resource loss from Conservation of Resources Theory, we anticipated that the combination of two variables—psychological contract and psychological safety—would moderate the relationship between participative leadership and innovative work behaviors. Data were collected from 237 participants over two time points, with a three-month interval, to examine the time-lag effect of participative leadership on innovative work behaviors. Structural equation modeling was used for statistical analysis. The results indicated that a supervisor's participative leadership positively influences the innovative work behavior of subordinates. However, this positive effect occurs only within the group of individuals who possess a high level of perception regarding both their psychological contract and psychological safety. Participative leadership did not have a significant impact on groups where either one of these factors, or both, was low. The findings suggest that individuals' innovative work behaviors should be reconceptualized as strategies for managing personal resources, influenced by the interaction of multiple factors related to resource gain and resource loss.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47923,"journal":{"name":"Creativity and Innovation Management","volume":"35 3","pages":"612-626"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148667286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study addresses that gap by analysing the key determinants of the benefits associated with SIMS certification and maintenance. Drawing on the literature and data collected from 103 Portuguese organisations holding certified SIMS, a partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM) is developed that encompasses two critical stages of the certification life cycle: initial certification and maintenance. The results reveal that SIMS maintenance significantly influences maintenance benefits, underscoring its pivotal role in sustaining organisational performance. Certification motivations strongly affect certification benefits but do not directly enhance maintenance benefits, exerting only a moderate indirect impact mediated by maintenance motivations. Maintenance motivations, critical success factors (CSFs), and certification benefits emerge as the principal predictors of maintenance benefits. Although certification barriers do not directly influence performance, they exert a persistent indirect negative effect, highlighting the importance of effectively managing maintenance CSFs. In addition, two subsets of organisations display contrasting relationships between barriers and benefits (one negative and the other positive) reflecting differences in strategic alignment with SIMS and in the perceived importance of resource availability. This study is the first to examine the antecedents of SIMS maintenance benefits and to propose an empirical model explaining their determinants; it is also the first to integrate two main stages of the SIMS certification life cycle within a single framework. The findings contribute to the SIMS, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 literature, where such frameworks are currently lacking, and offer valuable theoretical and practical insights for optimising the certification and maintenance of management systems so as to enhance organisational performance. Notably, the study demonstrates that the impact of barriers on performance is nuanced and reveals the importance of nurturing maintenance motivations, given that initial certification motivations lose their direct effect over time. Overall, the study clarifies not only that standardisation is beneficial but also how these benefits can be effectively realised and sustained.</p>","PeriodicalId":47923,"journal":{"name":"Creativity and Innovation Management","volume":"35 3","pages":"770-790"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/caim.70059","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148667515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hayek's insights on the spontaneous growth of knowledge in society. First, the use of discretionary policymaking curtails the range of knowledge generated in the process of social interaction, limiting the scope for ideas to be fortuitously recombined. Second, by privileging a single overarching mission, the state may foster a social culture that encourages compliance with authority, limiting the epistemic curiosity in individuals necessary for creative innovation. We make this argument through a comparative historical analysis of Singapore and Hong Kong, which adopted divergent approaches to development. Despite rapid growth in both, the former's technocratic governance came at the expense of its creative sectors, while the latter's reliance on spontaneous solutions enabled strong creative industries to develop despite little state support. By using creative performance as a proxy for innovation-led development, we exemplify the limits of top-down governance.
