The intricate interplay among actors and their differing perceptions of research applicability, which leads to specific tasks for intermediaries in initiating knowledge transfer processes, is analyzed. The findings of this study indicate that both internal and external intermediaries encounter challenges in fulfilling their roles, particularly in initiating the utilization of public research. The key challenges identified include <em>a flawed understanding of scientific research</em>, <em>a lack of initiative spirit</em>, and <em>a disregard for actual responsibilities</em>.

This study presents a nuanced exploration of the factors that influence elderly consumers' adoption of fintech services and elucidates the pivotal role of daily digital experiences in fostering the elderly's acceptance of such services. Employing an integrative approach, this study examines demographic, personal, socioenvironmental, and digital usage characteristics, through South Korean panel data (N = 3465) from 2019 to 2020. The findings uniquely identify the 50–64 age group and those cohabitating with younger generations as being more inclined toward fintech usage. This study introduces a novel perspective by demonstrating that elderly individuals' enjoyment of digital media and their engagement with younger generations significantly drive their involvement with fintech services. The elderly exhibits substantial potential as proactive fintech users, navigating perceived risks with discernment. This study contributes to the academic discourse by offering comprehensive insights into elderly consumers' fintech adoption, highlighting the importance of understanding this demographic's unique preferences and interactions with the digital economy. It also underscores the potential for targeted strategies to enhance fintech service adoption among the elderly and foster a more inclusive digital finance landscape.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47979,"journal":{"name":"Technology in Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141847228","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 results confirm the existence of market failure, such as the lack and asymmetry of information regarding cybersecurity, acknowledging the myopia and lack of information within SMEs, leading to suboptimal implementation of cybersecurity. Moreover, the lack of optimal implementation is evidenced by the findings indicating that neither cybersecurity incidents nor cybersecurity impacts in SMEs drive the implementation of cybersecurity. Additionally, we observe that implementation is more focused on control systems than on management systems, which is a significant differentiating factor from large enterprises.

Furthermore, the study investigated the mediating role of FoMO and the moderating role of gender therein. Data were collected among 1447 Chinese adolescents in June 2019 (T1) and January 2020 (T2). The results showed significant positive correlations among all three variables in both waves. There were bidirectional associations between parental phubbing and adolescent SNS addiction. T1 parental phubbing positively predicted T2 FoMO, and T1 FoMO positively predicted T2 SNS addiction, but not vice versa. FoMO mediated the link between parental phubbing and subsequent adolescent SNS addiction. T1 SNS addiction predicted T2 parental phubbing, and T1 FoMO predicted T2 SNS addiction – but these effects were significant only among girls. The effect of T1 FoMO on T2 FoMO was significantly stronger among girls than in boys. The findings contribute to the literature on parental phubbing and adolescent SNS addiction and provide insights for prevention and intervention programs addressing adolescent SNS addiction.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47979,"journal":{"name":"Technology in Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141849816","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}

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":null,"pages":null},"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 study examines the synergistic interaction between Human Intelligence (HI) and GAI across four group decision-making scenarios within three global organizations renowned for their cutting-edge operational techniques. 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":null,"pages":null},"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}
