However, despite the synergy between open innovation and the circular economy, and especially the support that open innovation can provide in overcoming the innovation and technological barriers associated with the transition to circular business models, there are still few studies investigating the relationship between these themes. With the aim of filling this research gap, the present study analysed how open innovation affects the implementation of the circular economy and the mediating role of Industry 4.0 technologies, using absorptive capacity as a moderating factor. The study analysed data collected from 163 companies operating in Brazil. The main findings indicate that (i) the use of open innovation practices is favourable to circular economy implementation; (ii) Industry 4.0 technologies have a positive impact on the adoption of the circular economy and mediate the relationship between open innovation and the circular economy; (iii) absorptive capacity does not demonstrably moderate the relationship between open innovation and the circular economy. The results of the study show that open innovation practices, such as collaboration with external actors and the co‐creation approach along with the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies, are positive for the implementation of the circular economy.","PeriodicalId":47923,"journal":{"name":"Creativity and Innovation Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142227700","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}

There is a limited understanding of how industrial actors can collectively foster the continuity in learning required to address wicked problems of sustainability. This study explores how industry stakeholders collectively address this wicked problem by fostering innovation in ecosystems and identifies the critical features of an ecosystem practice that supports empowerment in evolving multi‐actor network settings. Employing an abductive approach, we integrate insights from the innovation literature with analyses of three empirical industrial ecosystem cases to enhance understanding of the internal dynamics inherent in collaborative innovation. This study elucidates the critical features of ecosystem practice, underscoring four key characteristics essential for empowerment. These characteristics hinge on the adept balance of the four identified critical features throughout the process of continuous innovating in ecosystems. We argue that such practices serve as catalysts for cross‐industry innovation, thus expediting transformation. This research contributes to understanding the self‐organizing dynamics needed for sustained learning in evolving collaboration settings where actors, their motivations and their roles change. It also advances innovation theory by illustrating how wicked problems can be collectively addressed through the continuous exploration and exploitation processes of ecosystems.","PeriodicalId":47923,"journal":{"name":"Creativity and Innovation Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141933960","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}

Furthermore, explanations for how DT generates such impact are scattered and inadequately grounded in existing literature. Understanding DT impact, therefore, requires a more robust integration with existing literature, synthesizing interdisciplinary research streams. Conducting a systematic literature review to assemble and elucidate the current knowledge and theoretical foundations of DT and its impact, we following a rigourous search process. We screened 1035 publications and included 69 articles for our review. Synthesizing the theories underpinning these papers, we identified four theoretical mechanisms that explain the impact of DT—integration, reframing, enablement and collaborative engagement. We further provide a structured overview of four levels of DT impact that research has examined so far—organizations, teams, individuals and society. Our study advances innovation management research through a holistic overview of the what and how of DT impact. Furthermore, we provide three future perspectives for advancing research on DT impact, aiming to encourage further exploration and understanding in this critical area.","PeriodicalId":47923,"journal":{"name":"Creativity and Innovation Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141772680","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}

However, this is not an easily achievable result: companies face multiple obstacles that slow adoption and often force companies not to pursue adoption. The scientific community has not identified clear contributions that can help overcome the barriers discussed in the literature for years, giving the possibility to companies to boost Design Thinking adoption. By studying 10 private organisations that have adopted Design Thinking effectively, overcoming the main adoption obstacles, this study tries to identify which facilitators can be adopted to enable an effective adoption. This puts companies in a position to benefit from Design Thinking and achieve innovative performance. In any case, these represent complex notions to be even understood. As an additional result, the study recognises how game‐based formats enhance and facilitate the adoption mentioned above of Design Thinking within private organisations. The literature has already identified that game‐based formats facilitate the understanding and digestion of new concepts and procedures. This study expands the range of applications of gamified approaches in unconventional contexts and scope, verifying the benefits also in relation to Design Thinking. A new game‐based format has been designed for this research, which was also tested. The study demonstrates how the integration in the organisational culture of approaches such as Design Thinking through a gamified format represents one of the critical ways companies can embrace to face the internal tension of transformation, speeding up the adoption process to give companies the possibility to adopt innovation processes faster.","PeriodicalId":47923,"journal":{"name":"Creativity and Innovation Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141745193","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}

To tackle these issues, a new economy model has emerged, namely the circular economy. Being a new economic model, the transition to a circular economy is particularly challenging for existing companies that have designed their business models and collaborations in a linear fashion. This aspect holds particularly true in resource‐intensive industries characterized by long value chains. Among these industries, the building one stands out as characterized by high resource consumption and complex value chains. We argue that in such an industry, the transition to circular economy calls for establishing collaborations between the different players involved to access external competences and engage in a new way the whole value chain. Open innovation enables to access these external competences and fosters collaboration throughout the whole value chain. Taking the façade of a building as a unit of analysis, we aimed at investigating how companies exploit open innovation to implement circular economy initiatives. To address this issue, we leverage the original open innovation framework developed by West & Bogers (2014) adapting it to the peculiarities of the circular economy transition. By applying the action research methodology to analyse the interplay between circular economy and open innovation in the building façade industry, we get evidence that open innovation plays a key role in enabling the transition towards circular economy in a façade‐as‐a‐service model. The need for external knowledge sources in circular product design is reported in order not to have mismatches throughout the product useful life. Besides, we point out the relevance of collaborations in circular economy transition to jointly design products and business models according to the circular economy principles.","PeriodicalId":47923,"journal":{"name":"Creativity and Innovation Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141745191","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}

The implications of EDI are vigorously discussed in terms of inclusive approaches; particularly focussing on how managerial structures can enable employee participation. This paper focusses on game‐based formats to enhance such participation and explores what participation entails, when studied through a perspective of complex responsive processes. A qualitative study was carried out in a large European IT organization. The key finding in this paper is that EDI theory is grounded in a systemic perspective of participation. Game‐based EDI activities are argued to enhance participation, but EDI theory does not clarify how such game mechanics go beyond simply simulating pre‐planned procedures. This research argues that participation is the entanglement of many’ people's interactions and thereby not reducible to the notion of one cause, having one exact effect. By looking at game‐based EDI through a complex responsive process perspective, this paper proposes that EDI emerges in complex processes of social relating. This entails abandoning the idea that game‐based activities can be led by management's formal planning and control and instead moving towards the idea that playful participation is centred around the social nature of human interaction.","PeriodicalId":47923,"journal":{"name":"Creativity and Innovation Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141745192","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}

Such agents are leading an expansion of the field of influence of culinary innovation, connecting culinary knowledge with sectors such as agri‐food, hospitality, tourism, health or biotechnology. And, in turn, they seek to expand the frontiers of culinary innovation by exploring the connection of gastronomy with new digital technologies, promoting gastronomic entrepreneurship or developing policies to boost advanced gastronomic ecosystems around the world. The article analyses this process through the case study of the emergence of an innovation ecosystem in Gastronomytech in the Basque Country (Spain) led by the agents BCC Innovation, LABe Digital Gastronomy Lab and GOe Gastronomy Open Ecosystem, all three managed by Basque Culinary Center (an organization where training, innovation, research and entrepreneurship coexist with the aim of developing and promoting gastronomy).
