Statistical analyses of 1059 campaigns on Kickstarter partly support and challenge this study's theorizations. Risk description sentiment and length have U-shaped and inverted U-shaped effects on crowdfunding success respectively. Although these effects do not differ across projects in developed and developing countries, detailed risk descriptions generally yield better results for projects in developing countries.

Although frequently touted as a transformative technology that drives innovation, little consideration has been given as to how it can enhance operational efficiency. To address this gap, this study explores how manufacturing agility and product innovation are derived from 3D printing to enhance operational performance. Using the Agile Manufacturing Theory (AMT) the current paper explores the mediating roles of organizational agility and new product creativity particularly between ease of use, mass customization, and operational performance. A quantitative approach was employed in which 208 middle and senior managers participated, and their data was analyzed via PLS-SEM to examine direct and indirect effects. Results reveal that ease of use and mass customization enhance operational performance through the mediating role of organizational agility and new product creativity. Agility responds to changes in the market, and creativity drives new product development, extracting the maximum operational benefits of 3D printing. Our findings suggest that while the disruptive technologies offer tremendous opportunities, firms must maintain an acute focus on integrating agility with creative mindsets to transform opportunities into tangible outcomes.

The UK labour market was particularly affected, with widespread unemployment leading individuals to seek alternative income sources—often through entrepreneurship. In response, the government implemented subsidies and cash transfers, whilst digital technologies—especially internet use—emerged as vital tools for launching and managing new businesses. Despite these developments, limited research explores how institutional support and digitalisation jointly shape entrepreneurial behaviour during crises. This study addresses that gap by asking: how do government support mechanisms and digital technologies influence entrepreneurship amid economic disruption? Drawing on institutional economics and technology affordance theories, we focus on <em>chancer entrepreneurs</em>—individuals who leverage government aid and digital tools to navigate uncertainty and seize business opportunities. We estimate longitudinal probit models using UK Household Longitudinal Study data from 2019 to 2022. Our findings highlight the key role of institutional and digital factors in fostering entrepreneurship during disruptions. Government support increases entrepreneurial aspirations by 0.12 points during the pandemic, as well as the probability of becoming self-employed by 0.05 and 0.09 points before and during the pandemic period, respectively. Similarly, digital technologies raise the likelihood of entrepreneurial intention by 0.27 points during COVID-19 and self-employment by 0.30 points pre-pandemic. These results underscore important policy implications: sustained institutional support and improved digital access can transform crisis-driven necessity into long-term entrepreneurial success, enhancing economic resilience in the face of future shocks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":"148 ","pages":"Article 103346"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144902043","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}

Within each pillar, specific modes of interplay between the arts, science, and society are identified and exemplified with selected climate-related artworks: i) artistic research, arts-based research, arts-science collaboration, ii) arts-based science communication and iii) arts-based responsible research and innovation. The examples hihlight resources, processes and activities enabling different modes of interplay between arts, science and society. The value of defining such modes of interplay is their use as conceptual tools for deriving arts-based strategies for university's third mission.

This study aims to explore the mechanisms driving the evolution of CIR through longitudinal data from infrastructure projects implemented in China between 2008 and 2023. CIR networks are constructed based on the Derwent Innovation Index (DII) database, and their evolutionary characteristics are analyzed via social network analysis (SNA). A multiple regression quadratic assignment procedure (MRQAP) is employed to examine determinants of CIR networks, with a specific focus on the evolution of both independent and interaction effects of proximity. The results indicate that CIR in infrastructure projects evolves into a hub-and-spoke feature across three distinct stages. Notably, the proliferation of intelligent construction technology emerges as a significant development. Enterprises serve as core players and bridges, while research institutions and universities take the leadership in innovation. Furthermore, the influence of geographical proximity on CIR networks diminishes over time, whereas social proximity becomes increasingly influential. The relationships between geographical, institutional, and organizational proximity exhibit dynamic changes, characterized by both complementarity and substitutability. These findings contribute to the existing literature on dynamic collaborative relationships among stakeholders in infrastructure projects innovation and provide practical insights for enhancing inter-organizational collaboration in such projects.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":"148 ","pages":"Article 103345"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144867140","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}
