{"title":"Alternative platform-based market-entry models and strategies: a smart construction case study","authors":"INKA LAPPALAINEN, SUSANNA AROMAA, KATRI VALKOKARI, ARTO WALLIN","doi":"10.7433/s121.2023.02","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7433/s121.2023.02","url":null,"abstract":"Frame of the research. Despite the expanded research and innovation activities related to smart construction, there remains a lack of empirical studies on the emergence of platform businesses and related market-entry models and strategies. Thus far, studies have focused more on the technologies themselves and on the single-firm level but less on platform-based value compositions at the ecosystem level. Purpose of the paper . This study aimed to increase empirical understanding of the emergence of platform-based businesses from an ecosystem perspective and examine alternative market-entry models and strategies in smart construction. Methodology . The empirical study is based on a longitudinal qualitative and multimethod case study conducted in Finland between September 2020 and December 2021. Results . First, the results demonstrated the emergence of platform-based businesses from an ecosystem perspective and the co-design of related alternative market-entry models and strategies in smart construction. Second, five alternative platform-based entry models were classified with preferences among ecosystem actors. Furthermore, platform-based entry models seemed to embed several optional platform entry strategies. Third, the findings indicated the critical role of a clear visionary leader in orchestrating and facilitating a co-evolution process. Research limitations . This empirical study is based on a single case study in an ongoing co-evolution state. Although the findings are tentative, they may open avenues for further studies. Practical implications. This work provides a deeper understanding on the emergence and establishment of platform ecosystems in the field of smart construction. In particular, the adjusted conceptual frameworks may support ecosystem orchestrators and concerned actors when evaluating alternative market-entry models and strategies for further development. Originality of the paper. This paper brings new empirical insights into the identified research gaps by demonstrating the emergence of platform businesses and ecosystem actors who are co-designing alternative platform-based market entry models and strategies in smart construction.","PeriodicalId":488737,"journal":{"name":"Sinergie Italian Journal of Management","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135550507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Rethinking innovation in light of women entrepreneurship","authors":"BEATRICE ORLANDO, CARMELA SCHILLACI","doi":"10.7433/s121.2023.08","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7433/s121.2023.08","url":null,"abstract":"Framing of the research. Women empowerment and innovation are deemed an absolute priority in many countries. As a matter of fact, they had been included among the 17 sustainable development goals. Despite the common understanding that progress cannot occur regardless inclusivity, prior literature was being somewhat aloof on this matter. As the result, the research corpus seems mostly established on a sort of patriarchal knowledge, favoring a male-inspired stereotyping of the innovation narrative. Purpose of the paper. This study contributed to extend the conversation on innovation by investigating the phenomenon using the lenses of cultural dynamics and women entrepreneurship. Methodology . Using a large-scale cross-sectional dataset related to the year 2021, drawn from Eurostat and World Bank, hypotheses were tested by means of the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) linear regression method. Results . Our findings confirmed that innovation is more likely to occur when the country scores high in indulgence and there is a large number of women in business. Research limitations. As a cross-sectional analysis, the study did not capture over-time dynamics. Managerial implications . Inclusivity and well-being accelerate progress and foster innovation. Originality of the paper . The paper challenged the extant narrative of innovation by proposing an alternative gender-based view of the process.","PeriodicalId":488737,"journal":{"name":"Sinergie Italian Journal of Management","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135550330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
