While recent research has highlighted the beneficial role of failure tolerance for better organizational learning and innovation performance, it has overlooked how external government policies shaping failure tolerance affect innovation networks. This study addresses this gap by examining China's Fault-Tolerance and Error-Correction (FTEC) policy, investigating its impact on CINs' formation and evolution among state-owned enterprises (SOEs). Employing Exponential Random Graph Models (ERGMs) on 15,225 collaborative patents, we uncover paradoxical effects: while FTEC policy enhances repeated collaborations among existing partners, it diminishes the formation of new ties, leading to policy-induced “lock-in” effects and path-dependent network structures. Our findings reveal that FTEC-adopting SOEs' preference for deepening established partnerships is amplified by longer policy implementation durations. Additionally, firms with shared FTEC adoption status or similar policy tenures form distinct collaborative clusters, highlighting the role of policy homophily in reinforcing network closure. These results challenge the assumption of unidirectional benefits from failure-tolerance policies, demonstrating their dual impact: fostering short-term collaborative stability while constraining long-term network adaptability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":"150 ","pages":"Article 103380"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145223110","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}

To address and find solutions for these emerging issues, decision-makers must embrace the smart city and Society 5.0 paradigms, which comprehensively tackle various dimensions of the problem and ensure adaptability to evolving citizen needs. Central to the success of these paradigms is technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI). AI’s transformative capabilities enable the expansion of services, automation of tasks, efficient operationalization and processing vast amounts of data to address urban challenges, aligning with several sustainable development goals (SDGs) such as sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11). Municipalities require strategic plans that empower them to adapt to the AI, Society 5.0 and smart city paradigms, involving multiple stakeholders, including businesses. This study presents a multi-criteria analysis system designed to support decision-making in this complex context, considering the subjective nature and inherent complexity of the decision problem. The system development involved input from key decision-makers with relevant expertise, utilizing methodologies such as cognitive mapping and the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory technique applied in a neutrosophic environment to analyze cause-and-effect relationships between factors affecting adaptation initiatives. Based on a constructivist, process-oriented approach, the developed analysis system can assist decision-makers in navigating uncertainty during evaluations of technology integration.

While prior behavioral research has investigated the relationship between underperformance intensity and firm innovation behavior, there has been limited focus on how prolonged underperformance shapes organizational learning mechanisms that influence firms' balancing of exploitative and exploratory innovation behaviors. Drawing on the behavioral theory of the firm (BTOF) and organizational learning literature, we argue that the duration of underperformance triggers firms' strategic shifts in innovation priorities, forcing firms to navigate temporal tensions between short-term problemistic search and long-term technological capability renewal. We propose a U-shaped relationship between firms' underperformance duration and the share of exploratory innovation within their overall innovation portfolio, reflecting shifting from path-dependent refinement to radical adaptation. We further explore its boundary from the external stakeholder pressure mechanism, and hypothesize that this relationship is weakened by the firm's government innovation subsidy but strengthened by analyst coverage. Using longitudinal data of 582 publicly listed Chinese firms in the high-technology manufacturing industry between 2010 and 2018, we find support for our hypotheses.

Across four experimental studies with 1,500 investors, we find that environmental motivations can reduce investor willingness to invest, mediated by perceived energy efficiency. However, AI implementation and certification mechanisms act as critical boundary conditions that can legitimize environmental strategies and enable compromise between market and green logics. Specifically, coupling environmental motivations with AI for energy efficiency and third-party certification leads to higher investor willingness to invest.

Generative AI (Gen AI) has the potential to mitigate these limitations by enhancing efficiency and standardization, yet its deployment also introduces risks such as algorithmic bias and loss of transparency. This calls for a systematic framework to support strategic decision-making and guide responsible adoption. This study introduces the Maturity–Expectation Gap (MEG) framework, which captures the misalignment between stakeholder perceptions of AI maturity and the actual technological state. Existing models such as the Technology Acceptance Model fail to reflect the temporal and institutional dynamics of emerging technologies. To address this, the study combines expert survey data on perceived maturity with machine learning-based literature analysis to compute expectation scores across twenty-four evaluation criteria. Results show that MEG significantly varies across stakeholder groups, and that higher MEG values are associated with lower confidence in Gen AI adoption, highlighting the framework's utility in explaining strategic adoption decisions (RQ1). Furthermore, MEG enables diagnostic classification of evaluation domains, identifying areas of alignment (e.g., Financial Health) and misalignment (e.g., Decision-Making), thereby supporting phased and risk-aware deployment strategies (RQ2). MEG framework offers a structured lens for managing expectation–capability alignment, extending technology adoption theory while supporting strategic decision-making for the responsible integration of Gen AI in public-sector evaluation systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":"149 ","pages":"Article 103374"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145118281","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}
