Social systems theory suggests that value creation and well-being can be addressed from the perspectives of various functional systems that attribute meaning on the basis of different social operations, such as economy, health, art, etc. On the example of smart services as a key digital technology, we study how science fiction affects the number of these functional systems referenced in design. We compare smart service design activities performed during eight ideation and prototyping workshops. Half of the workshops used a conventional value proposition canvassing approach to address customer tasks, pains and gains. The others used science fiction plots for dramatic storytelling about smart services. Overall, 29 separate smart service design projects were performed during the workshops. Using qualitative content analysis, references to different functional systems are identified. The findings indicate that science fiction inspires references to more functional systems and highlights tensions between different forms of value creation and aspects of well-being that are essential for tackling grand challenges.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":"139 ","pages":"Article 103139"},"PeriodicalIF":11.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142657975","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}

There are numerous debates on how GenAI would fundamentally change existing business models. However, there is not much discussion on roles of generative AI in the domain of social good. Broader views covering potential opportunities of GenAI to enable diverse initiatives in the social good space are largely missing. We intend to reduce the gap by developing a classification framework that should allow researchers gauge the potential impact of GenAI for social good initiatives. Through case analysis, we assess how value-added abilities of GenAI may influence various social good initiatives. We adopt/develop two loosely connected classification frameworks that are grounded in task-technology fit (TTF) theory. Subsequently, we investigate how our analyses of GenAI initiatives utilizing different dimensions of these two frameworks may be synthesized to provide appropriate explanation for potential success of GenAI for social good. We develop five propositions that will provide guidance to practitioners and researchers. The theoretically grounded analysis of 21 GenAI for social good use cases based on the two classification frameworks, and the resulting propositions are the original contributions of this paper to the AI for social good literature.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":"139 ","pages":"Article 103129"},"PeriodicalIF":11.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142657974","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 this end, we applied bibliometric analysis to study 1842 innovation for sustainability articles from the ‘Web of Science’ database. Our robust methodology included deploying the document co-citation analysis, co-word analysis, and thematic evolution to trace the intellectual structure and conceptual structure of the innovation for sustainability field. Further, through a thorough qualitative content analysis, we developed a comprehensive conceptual framework comprising drivers, innovation practices, and performance indicators of innovation for sustainability. Additionally, we examined the latest trending articles based on total local citations (TLC) and total global citations (TGC) to delineate the potential future research directions. Overall, thus, this research contributed to the innovation for sustainability literature by combining a tripartite methodology of bibliometric analysis, qualitative content analysis, and analysis of trending articles to determine the intellectual structure and potential future research directions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":"139 ","pages":"Article 103127"},"PeriodicalIF":11.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142657973","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}

Questions were raised on how Industry 4.0 and green practices improve green supply chain performance with the mediation role of green servitization? Green servitization now addresses product service systems and environmental impacts. This study is crucial because environmental unpredictability is causing the supply chain to migrate toward green and digital supply chains, which reduce environmental impact and increase efficiency. The institutional and resource-based view theory-based research model checks the moderation of Environmental, social and government (ESG) compliance and the mediation role of green servitization for environmental advantages. It helps to develop a research model. Structural equation modeling applies to check the model and hypotheses' significance. The unique research model with the three hypotheses is validated with less than two-tailed 0.001 significance, showing that Industry 4.0 and green practices positively affect green servitization and green supply chain (GSC) performance while moderating ESG compliance. This research also reveals that green servitization mediates and ESG compliance moderates the association between Industry 4.0, green practices, and GSC performance. Based on our unique results, managers should adopt green servitization to boost GSC performance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":"129 ","pages":"Article 102898"},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2023-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50176942","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}

Grounded in the extensive data obtained from the study of space industry leader SpaceX and its revolution of reusable rocket boosters, we suggest that appropriate organizational processes can be highly effective in generating technological disruptive innovations. Our results mainly contribute to the identification of the foundational elements that need to be in place, as well as to the definition of sequential actions to be executed, for a successful innovation cycle. In the former, the organization must ensure that appropriate knowledge management mechanisms have been implemented, and that the individuals involved are prepared for the innovation process. In the latter, the detection and analysis of failure, followed by an optimization of further experiments and an adjustment of the roadmap, must proceed iteratively and sequentially to build upon the cumulative experience gained. These findings are important because they suggest that successful disruptive innovation is not fortuitous but can be achieved through systematic processes. Moreover, we bring a different perspective to a popular literature stream which to date had focused on why incumbent firms were successful or not in responding to disruptive innovations, rather than on how failure can be leveraged to successfully introduce in the market a disruptive innovation. In addition to the contributions to the learning by failure and disruptive innovation literatures, this work also adds to the very limited managerial studies of the fast-growing and increasingly relevant <em>New Space Economy</em>.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":"129 ","pages":"Article 102897"},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50176999","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}

We analyze data from 85 interviews with leading actors in the healthcare ecosystem, coupled with supplementary material, meetings, and follow-ups to theorize how intermediaries help facilitate the diffusion of emerging digital technologies in this sector. Our analysis reveals two interrelated processes: (1) “technology-focused intermediation” to help co-create the technology in accordance with existing demands; and (2) “ecosystem-focused intermediation” to help reinforce ecosystem components for enabling effective deployment.
