Emerging technologies such as health tracking applications (HTAs) play a crucial role in promoting smart senior care and improving elderly health management. To enhance motivation and engagement among the elderly in using HTAs, incorporating game elements or ‘gamification’ has attracted growing attention. However, concerns have also emerged regarding the high cognitive demands and potential biases against games, particularly among the Chinese elderly, who represent about 25 % of the global aging population and are deeply influenced by low indulgent culture. Due to a lack of empirical evidence from both research and practice, it remains uncertain whether gamification can bring optimal experiences and enhance elderly engagement with health services, in the same way that it does for younger users. Therefore, we designed and conducted a controlled between-subjects vignette-based experiment among the Chinese elderly (<em>N</em> = 312). Specifically, this study evaluated how three primary types of gamified health HTAs interactive interfaces (i.e., achievement-oriented, social-oriented, and immersion-oriented gamification) lead to a gameful experience (i.e., comfort, engagement, stimulation, dependability, perspicuity, novelty, sociality, and immersion), and how the experiences further affect elderly engagement behaviors such as continued use and word-of-mouth. The overall results indicate that the different types gameful HTAs were able to bring about different mixtures of gameful experiences, and that the improved experiences were positively associated with intentions to use and recommend the application. Peculiarly, but partly expectedly, the perception of novelty, was negatively associated with continuance intentions in the context of elder users.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48454,"journal":{"name":"Technological Forecasting and Social Change","volume":"217 ","pages":"Article 124155"},"PeriodicalIF":12.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143869952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing from the techno-geopolitical uncertainty literature in general and the geographic relational view in particular, this study explores how Chinese MNEs are impacted by the rise of geopolitical tensions in their efforts to transform digitally. Our findings reveal that geopolitical tensions between home and host countries adversely impact the digital technology depth and breadth of the focal firm. Also, these relationships are reinforced by the firm's contextual feature – state ownership. Yet the foreign presence of these MNEs positively moderates the relationship between geopolitical tensions and digital technology depth, but the effect is not observed for digital technology breadth.

Our findings demonstrate that informal government intervention can enhance SOEs' innovation efficiency, mainly by improving SOEs' information availability. Moreover, the connection-based information availability has greater efficiency-enhancing impacts when the information providers (politicians) possess more external knowledge, and when the information receivers (SOE managers) belong to less technology-intensive industries. These findings illuminate how informal government intervention helps SOEs improve innovation efficiency by reducing agency risks.

One-third of all food produced is wasted, while 3 billion people are food insecure. Online food-sharing platforms enable the redistribution of surplus food at a community level.

As stakeholders' trust in food-sharing apps is essential to maintain their patronage, this study attempts to obtain trust-based challenges and assess their impact on user satisfaction through a mixed-method study. Using topic modeling, user reviews from popular food-sharing apps are first analyzed to identify eight challenges that impact user experience. These challenges are then aligned with the dimensions of cognition-based trust, experience-based trust, and personality-oriented trust. Further, hypotheses are formulated and tested using linear regression to assess the impact of these challenges on user experience. This study addresses the topics of food waste and food insecurity, which are related to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG-2 (Zero hunger) and SDG-12 (Responsible consumption and production). While some challenges have been explored in the extant literature, others are unique to this study, such as the lack of optimal experience, information quality, perceived privacy, and opportunism. These findings contribute to the food-sharing literature by analyzing user experiences worldwide and assesses trust-related challenges, thereby improving upon the extant literature which mainly explores the motivators, and has a cursory focus on the aspect of ‘trust’. Also, this study informs policy development to address users' trust concerns, thus enhancing food-sharing apps' adoption.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48454,"journal":{"name":"Technological Forecasting and Social Change","volume":"216 ","pages":"Article 124159"},"PeriodicalIF":12.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143851375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, we show that while external knowledge is crucial for driving any type of innovation, pro-circular firms prioritize external partners vertically integrated into their production chain, such as suppliers and customers. Second, we find that the breadth of external knowledge for pro-circular innovators, compared to firms with lower circularity, is less important than explicit cooperation agreements and internal R&D efforts. Third, we expand the understanding of open innovation strategies to increase the adoption of eco-innovations congruent with the circular economy. These insights contribute to the literature by highlighting that not all information sources hold the same level of importance for circular economy innovations.
