Institutional theory highlights the pressures, both coercive and normative, arising from the digital economy and regulatory environments, whereas resource dependence theory elucidates the strategic approaches organizations adopt to acquire vital resources and minimize network dependencies. This innovative research investigates how an organization's orientation towards the digital economy affects its role within R&D networks, leveraging insights from both theoretical standpoints. By pinpointing technology transformation and legal environment as key moderators, this study assesses their moderating effects. The analysis utilizes a comprehensive dataset containing 141,118 patents spanning from 1995 to 2018, concentrating on R&D efforts within China's strategic emerging sectors. The outcomes show that an organization's digital economy orientation, shaped by institutional norms and resource interdependencies, positively influences its network centrality but negatively impacts its structural hole position. Additionally, technology transformation and the legal environment, as institutional mechanisms, negatively modulate the relationship between digital economy orientation and network centrality, but positively influence the structural hole relationship. The study concludes with a bibliometric analysis to situate our findings within existing literature and discusses the theoretical and practical implications, rooted in institutional and resource dependence theories.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":"137 ","pages":"Article 103098"},"PeriodicalIF":11.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142168566","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":"137 ","pages":"Article 103094"},"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}

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.

Herein lies the potential value of touchless technologies such as voice assistants, which may offer a new avenue for older adult inclusion. Thus, our study delves deep into the lifeworld of older people to understand how voice assistants can impact inclusion and well-being. Adopting a longitudinal approach, we observed and interviewed participants (<em>n</em> = 32) in their homes, augmenting this qualitative data with secondary data from voice assistant device reports. Our initial results show that older people perceived the effect of illiteracy in their first encounter with the technology, but over time, they learnt to overcome initial challenges and started building relationships with artificial intelligence. In the final part of the study, participants identified the value of using technology and recognised that technology ‘is not the boogeyman’ but rather enables tech-inclusion and well-being. Under the lens of transformative service research, we provide a framework that illustrates how artificial intelligence is healing older people's digital divide, showing core elements of inclusion (access to new technology, support with activities, sense of participation, independence, convenience and source of information), and well-being (sense of pride, entertainment option, eased loneliness, improved self-esteem).</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":"136 ","pages":"Article 103080"},"PeriodicalIF":11.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141959596","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}
