This paper leverages the concept of knowledge complexity to explore its influences on both the “quantity” and “complexity” of intercity technology transfer. Drawing upon a dataset of more than 10 million patents from the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA), we calculate the knowledge complexity index (KCI) for 252 Chinese cities and the technological complexity index (TCI) for 622 four-digit technological fields from 2001 to 2020 to capture the “complexity” dimension of technology transfer. Our empirical results reveal an increasing polarization of the KCI distribution among Chinese cities and significant differences between the “quantity” and “complexity” networks of intercity technology transfer. Using fixed-effect panel regression models and an instrumental variable approach, we identify a robust, causal inverted-U relationship between intercity KCI disparities and both the “quantity” and “complexity” of technology transfer. While moderate intercity KCI disparities promote technology transfer, larger disparities hinder it due to limitations in absorptive capacity. Moreover, this inverted-U relationship is heterogeneous across technology sectors and cities, being more pronounced for the transfer of technologies with low and moderate TCI, and for technology transfers between cities with relatively stronger innovation capacities. These findings contribute to the understanding of technology transfer from a knowledge complexity perspective and provide policy insights for designing smart technological specialization strategies in China.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47979,"journal":{"name":"Technology in Society","volume":"86 ","pages":"Article 103246"},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146190400","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}

The cointegration analysis shows a long-run association between the analysed variables, where the Method of Moment Quantile Regression (MMQR) analysis reveals that population, economic growth, DI, and its developmental stages significantly increase digital trade, while institutional quality significantly reduces digital trade in E7 emerging economies. Digital skills are found to be more important than digital access and usage for digital trade. However, the impact of economic freedom on digital trade is insignificant.

The findings show that healthcare entrepreneurs are often portrayed as actors addressing both commercial and public health purposes. Hospitals are perceived as laboratories of collaboration and learning, combining care delivery with innovation-oriented activities, while life sciences are seen as critical to regional innovation and development by attracting scientific knowledge and enabling translation into entrepreneurial opportunities. Institutional and resource dynamics are also perceived as important for healthcare and entrepreneurship ecosystems, through facilitation of resource mobilization and regulatory adaptation. Based on this review, the paper develops a framework that positions healthcare organizations within entrepreneurial ecosystems according to their degree of hybridity and ecosystem roles. This research contributes to EE literature by examining entrepreneurial ecosystems research through a sector-sensitive and relational perspective.

This is the applied value of the framework we offer: to offer guidance in identifying which technologies require specific scrutiny as SDT, and guidance in identifying an initial set of ethical tools to accompany such analysis. Second, we reframe the ethics of social disruption by highlighting how SDTs pose challenges to capacities for normative orientation and joint action-coordination and by foregrounding the potentially stratified availability of the resources needed to overcome or mitigate these challenges. We argue that although the burdensome disruptiveness means that SDTs characteristically have, at least in a “narrow” sense, a <em>pro tanto</em> negative valence, they may nonetheless turn out to contribute to significant social and moral progress. The ethical concerns raised by SDTs require an approach that is sensitive both to the challenges inherent in the disruption and to its eventual outcome.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47979,"journal":{"name":"Technology in Society","volume":"86 ","pages":"Article 103216"},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146190396","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}

These results suggest that costly technological features operate as signals of online news quality, guiding credibility assessments and subscription decisions. The study extends signaling theory by applying it to online news platforms and linking it with research on information systems and human–computer interaction.

Drawing on transaction cost economics, organizational behavior, and process-based trust theory, we develop and test a structural model using survey data from 396 respondents engaged in international collaborative research. Scientific outcomes are defined as tangible and strategic outputs such as technological innovations, R&D infrastructure, and institutional agreements. Contrary to expectations, execution challenges are positively associated with scientific outcomes, suggesting that operational complexity may reflect innovation ambition rather than dysfunction. Strategic incentives emerge as the strongest positive predictor of scientific outcomes. Trust asymmetries, though not directly associated with outcomes, significantly moderate collaboration mechanisms—attenuating the positive influence of strategic incentives and weakening the positive association between execution challenges and scientific outcomes under relational imbalance, while indicating that the relationship between collaboration frictions and scientific outcomes varies across trust conditions. These results challenge conventional assumptions that prioritize friction-free coordination, instead highlighting how relational imbalances can distort collaboration dynamics.
