In this context, the concept of the Triple Helix is introduced, identifying universities, firms, and governments as the main drivers of innovation development. The main objective of this paper is to deepen the understanding of the impact that cooperation and coopetition between these actors have on innovation dynamics. To achieve this, we compare two EU countries, focusing on product innovation following the Schumpeterian idea that economic development is driven by the introduction of new products. Data from 31,105 Spanish and 8224 Portuguese firms from the Community Innovation Survey (CIS) 2018 were analyzed. The results confirm that these collaborative dynamics have a positive impact on product innovation. Furthermore, human resource management is shown to be a fundamental aspect in driving innovation processes within an organization. The national context has positioned itself as a determining factor in innovation dynamics. In particular, in this study, Portuguese companies demonstrate a greater positive impact of innovation in human resources on product innovation compared to Spanish companies. The strength of this research lies in the comparative framework established between the two countries, allowing for the detection of the influence of governments, universities, and other agents in the collaborative processes that drive innovation dynamics in companies. The model proposed in this research could be extended to compare other countries, helping to explain the relationship between innovation levels and the influence of the country effect on their economic development.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47979,"journal":{"name":"Technology in Society","volume":"78 ","pages":"Article 102667"},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141842507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the existing patent infringement risk assessment methods are only designed for individual patents, which is not enough to meet the companies' practical need for assessing and managing the infringement risk of large patent portfolios. Therefore, this study proposes a combined approach using network analysis and intuitionistic fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (IF-TOPSIS), which can assess and rank the infringement risk of a company's patent portfolio relative to each of its competitors' patent portfolios, thereby providing a scientific base for the company's management decisions on patent portfolios. In this approach, one-mode weighted patent proximity networks are constructed to extract topology information of patent portfolios, and the IF-TOPSIS method is combined to obtain and rank the risk results under a proper fuzzy framework. The case study uses patent portfolios containing a total of 6736 standard-essential patents (SEPs) in the information and communications technology (ICT) industry as test data, and verifies the practicality and validity of this intelligent approach.

The research progresses through several phases: identifying research problems, collecting baseline data on decision-making, implementing AI interventions, and evaluating the outcomes post-intervention to identify shifts in performance. The results demonstrate that GAI effectively reduces human cognitive burdens and mitigates heuristic biases by offering data-driven support and predictive analytics, grounded in System 2 reasoning. This is particularly valuable in complex situations characterized by unfamiliarity and information overload, where intuitive, System 1 thinking is less effective. However, the study also uncovers challenges related to GAI integration, such as potential over-reliance on technology, intrinsic biases particularly ‘out-of-the-box’ thinking without contextual creativity. To address these issues, this paper proposes an innovative strategic framework for HI-GAI collaboration that emphasizes transparency, accountability, and inclusiveness.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47979,"journal":{"name":"Technology in Society","volume":"78 ","pages":"Article 102662"},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160791X24002100/pdfft?md5=8f57a9a041fcbec2e5eff73bf4350d2e&pid=1-s2.0-S0160791X24002100-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141732414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quality fraud is the fabrication or falsification of inspection data related to product or service quality. This study aims to extend understanding of quality fraud mechanisms and suggest lessons for technological management. Among five Japanese manufacturers that developed seismic isolation rubber, we focus on two companies that entered the market simultaneously and operated in the same competitive environment, comparing a company that committed fraud with another that did not. Specifically, we analyze each company's technological influence through its behavior in product development, patent applications, and patent disputes. We show the relationship between technological capabilities and unethical behavior, as well as the nature of technology that influences them. We identify the following mechanism of quality fraud: a company that misassesses its technological capabilities engages in unethical behavior by overlooking technological issues. The inherent nature of technology (i.e., competitiveness, goal orientation, and uncertainty) contributes to this outcome. It is possible that a successful experience in a competitive environment leads to a focus on specific options to achieve goals, resulting in myopia and failure to objectively recognize self-assessment. Uncertainty makes it difficult to determine technical standards or evaluation methods based solely on rigorous theory, leading to technologically ambiguous decisions through trade-offs, which can blur ethical implications and lead to unethical behavior.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47979,"journal":{"name":"Technology in Society","volume":"78 ","pages":"Article 102659"},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160791X24002070/pdfft?md5=7e06281a8f48b358915ae1e6c7a3f21c&pid=1-s2.0-S0160791X24002070-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141697104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Perceived ease-of-use, attitude, and perceived usefulness were positive in influencing BSEV. Value barrier and usage barrier were negatively significant in influencing BSEV adoption intention. However, the barrier of risk was insignificant in affecting the adoption intention of BSEVs. Tradition and image barriers were negative in influencing attitude. Perceived usefulness and attitude were discovered as mediators.

This study not only enriches the digitalization–innovation performance relationship literature, but also contributes to the KBV by tying together three vital elements (technology, people, and relational networks) in the KBV and examining their relationships with ambidextrous innovation.
