As green innovations are often more complex and costly to develop or operate than are conventional innovations, it is important to assess whether consumers truly value the environmental benefits associated with green innovations. Focusing on the specific case of the air transport industry, we investigate whether air passengers are willing to pay more for greener flights (i.e., using new technologies that have lower greenhouse gas emissions). To do so, we conduct a choice-based conjoint (CBC) analysis in which respondents are confronted with several product profiles for a plane ticket. The sample comprises 17,325 choices made by 1155 respondents from North America, Europe, Asia and Oceania. The results reveal passengers’ willingness-to-pay (WTP) (in euros) to switch from traditional jet fuel to different technological options that emit fewer greenhouse gas emissions than does kerosene. The results also investigate whether passengers are willing to accept longer flight times, which is an alternative operational method for reducing CO2 emissions. Additional analyses reveal that attitudes toward air transport (flight shame and trust in the aviation industry) and general pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors increase the WTP of passengers for greener innovations, while sociodemographics (age, gender and education) have no significant impact on WTP. This research extends the literature on green innovation by underlining the importance of its social acceptance and by highlighting under which circumstances consumers are willing to pay more for green innovations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":11.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142097438","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}

Given that venture capital (VC) is critical for financing frontier innovations among new ventures, comparing U.S. and Chinese IIVs is essential for informing national innovation policy. Based on the organizational ecology perspective, we propose that U.S. and Chinese new ventures have divergent trajectories in frontier innovations. We identify 1782 first-round IVC investments in U.S. and Chinese new ventures operating in the computer software, e-commerce, biotechnology, semiconductors, and artificial intelligence sectors between 2010 and 2020 along with their 2825 patents (317 Chinese patents and 2508 U.S. patents). Our findings indicate that Chinese IIVs exhibit greater variation in terms of technological distance, search scope, and knowledge coupling, compared to U.S. IIVs. However, Chinese IIVs’ frontier innovations have more divergent technological trajectories and attract fewer followers than U.S. IIVs, based on patent citations. In a firm-level analysis, we find that Chinese IIVs are less likely to receive a subsequent financing round. Further, IIVs with greater technological distance and search scope, and with higher impact patents, have more opportunities to receive the next round of funding.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":11.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142075771","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}

However, the stability of energy policies is vulnerable to political disruptions and policy reversals. This paper aims to understand how innovation systems respond to periods of political instability. Specifically, it investigates the impact of policy retrenchment under Mexico's President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) on the sectoral innovation system (SIS) for renewable energy. Employing the innovation system framework, we examine how the structure and functions of the SIS were affected by political changes under the AMLO Administration. Notable policy changes include canceling long-term auctions and strategic transmission projects, reducing science funding, and fostering uncertainty. These alterations significantly impact entrepreneurial experimentation, knowledge development, market formation, guidance of the search, resource mobilization, and the creation of legitimacy in the SIS for wind and solar technologies. On the positive side, we find that non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and local governments took action to compensate for the lack of federal leadership, and distributed generation continued as a niche of innovation. This research contributes to the innovation literature with an empirical study of innovation systems in Mexico.

Using hurdle model estimations on 600 small-and medium-sized enterprises, the results of the study reveal that NIH and NSH attitudes are the origin of decision-making biases at different stages of OI implementation, where external knowledge is the focus of evaluation. Proactive standardization efforts are shown to be effective in countering the impact of NIH and NSH attitudes on knowledge sourcing decisions and on the intensity of knowledge sourcing, typically leading to bounded search, inward decisions, and anticipated termination of projects.

This study's contribution to the literature lies in its finding that the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies can only be beneficial to firms when DT guides the focal firm on being more cooperative in R&D collaboration activities and therefore helps focal firms to use innovation opportunities efficiently and more rapidly and to innovate diverse business processes.
