This study addresses these gaps by analyzing data from 246 design thinking projects to examine how early and frequent experimentation influences innovation performance, specifically in terms of effectiveness and efficiency. It also examines how the use of digital technologies moderates these relationships. The results show that both early and frequent experimentation positively influence innovation effectiveness, while only early experimentation significantly improves innovation efficiency. Moreover, the use of digital technologies strengthens the positive effects of early experimentation on both effectiveness and efficiency. This research provides valuable theoretical and practical insights by deepening our understanding of how experimentation and digital tools drive innovation performance in design thinking projects.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":"141 ","pages":"Article 103187"},"PeriodicalIF":11.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143183311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous research has revealed that dominant design is a turning point for innovation phases and firm survival. While existing research has examined dominant design from the vantage point of technology, institution, or other market factors, there remains a dearth of studies that delve into the user-driven perspective on dominant design, in which users have presented significant value in the digital era. As user-driven innovation becomes increasingly prevalent, it is impossible for dominant design to avoid the influence of users. Therefore, exploring dominant design must incorporate a user-driven perspective to account for the active agency users hold in the digital era. In this article, we develop a dynamic user interaction model to elucidate how users drive the emergence of dominant design. Specifically, leveraging simulations, we modeled a spectrum of evolution pathways for user preferences, reflecting the complex interaction environments arising from digitalization. The simulations illustrate how dominant design emergences hinge on individual micro-level interactions in undifferentiated competition, grounded in opinion dynamics theory. The results indicate that interaction dynamics, sequence, and frequency disrupt the equilibrium of undifferentiated competition, increasing the likelihood of occasional events leading to a dominant design in this context. This study aims to shed light on the proactive role of users in affecting the dominant design and the subsequent generation of new user values stemming from it.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":"140 ","pages":"Article 103166"},"PeriodicalIF":11.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143164423","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}

Our results indicate that intensive scientific knowledge flows tend to generate more exploratory innovation, while the breadth and novelty of scientific knowledge flows exhibit inverted U-shaped relationships with exploratory innovation.

An example of the mental mHealth apps is examined to showcase the factors affecting patients' engagement and a specific mental mHealth app performance is benchmarked against overall sector's (mental mHealth apps) and immediate competitors' performance and user preferences. This is achieved through in-depth analysis of the observed features and market characteristics of 172 mental mHealth apps and the associations observed among user preferences and app capabilities/features.

Accordingly, we examine how the media and financial analysts resonate with the framing of a novel value proposition through an in-depth longitudinal case study of Amazon's early years. We found that Amazon differentially deployed leadership, abstraction, and familiarity framing between 1995 and 2003, decreasing leadership and increasing abstraction emphasis over time, while keeping familiarity constant. Information intermediaries resonated differently with framing: financial analysts focused more on the projective growth possibilities of the emerging ecosystem and its orchestrator, and the media focused more on real-world implications of the novel value proposition. We contribute insights about the process of entrepreneurial framing in emerging ecosystem contexts and highlight the various trade-offs that ecosystem orchestrators face when seeking resonance with the media and financial analysts.

Through a multiple case study involving three distinct UIC structures, we explore how the nature of these collaborations, whether research-focused or networking-focused, influences cross-industry knowledge sharing. Our findings reveal that research-focused UIC, characterized by formal and structured interactions, primarily leverages cognitive social capital to abstract and disseminate knowledge across industries. Conversely, networking-focused UIC, which operates through informal and less-structured channels, relies mainly on relational social capital to foster direct, trust-based knowledge sharing between industries. We identify key enablers and distinctions in these UIC structures, illustrating how they shape cross-industry knowledge sharing. Specifically, we propose a conceptual model, highlighting the mediating role of social capital dimensions and the moderating effects of interest and funding. This model offers new insights into the relationship between structural social capital and cross-industry knowledge sharing in UIC. From a managerial perspective, our study suggests that whether firms engaged in UIC can leverage UIC structures for cross-industry knowledge sharing largely comes down to their own strategical development and management of social capital. From a policy perspective, our study suggests that augmenting already existing policy toward cross-regional knowledge sharing by considering aspects of networking-focused UIC and cross-industrial knowledge sharing, could leverage gains from UIC.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":"140 ","pages":"Article 103160"},"PeriodicalIF":11.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143165635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We address the deficit in insights by conducting a qualitative study with firms that have experienced innovation failure to decompose the risk of ‘<em>double-loop</em>’ failure. Inductive analysis of 49 responses revealed consequences and responses that characterize the post-innovation failure phase: collateral damage, precipitous response, and missed learning opportunity. Collateral damage captures resource loss, external embarrassment, and jeopardized future innovation as the outcome of failed innovation; precipitous response comprises deliberate avoidance, blame game, and negative affectivity as the reaction of internal stakeholders to failure; and missed learning opportunity unpacks into failing the stakeholders, failure to unlearn, and failure to capture knowledge. These post-innovation failure consequences and responses exacerbate the risk of double-loop failure, reducing firms' capacity to salvage any value from the failure. Based on these findings, we propose a framework, which conceptualizes the post-innovation failure dynamics as a chain reaction leading to double-loop failure.

We also find that three types of operational slack (production capacity, labor productivity, and inventory slack) positively moderate the relationship between ESG performance and stability. Additionally, production capability slack and labor slack positively moderate the relationship between ESG performance and flexibility.
