Our channel analysis reveals four potential channels through which academician shareholders promote corporate innovation: innovative human capital, investor protection, top management team attention to innovation and reduction in innovation uncertainty. Moreover, in line with the resource-based view and incomplete contract theory, our findings indicate that the positive association is more pronounced in firms with directors appointed by academician shareholders, without state ownership, and with multiple large shareholders.

Large companies possess a multitude of resources for product development in their mainstream: laboratories; hardware; software; human competencies; and specialized organizational functions in engineering, marketing, and finance, among others. The potential of these resources is immense, and it is not rational to duplicate them for RI development; it is better to leverage them when necessary for a newstream project. However, prior research has revealed that routine rigidities can pose key obstacles to leveraging resources from the mainstream for the newstream. Such rigidities, if not addressed, can hinder RI. Further, the factors facilitating resource leverage must be better understood. Based on data from over 12 years at a leading global high-tech company, this study focuses on how companies manage to leverage mainstream resources for newstream RI projects. The emergent grounded model contributes by elucidating the enablers and constraints within the mainstream and newstream domains for leveraging mainstream resources into the newstream. Additionally, the study proposes a viable configuration of the innovation management system that effectively eases the systematic leveraging of resources from the mainstream to the newstream.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":"139 ","pages":"Article 103126"},"PeriodicalIF":11.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142573148","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}

A single case study, of a research centre situated in Northern Europe with prolonged collaborative effort, was used as the methodological approach. The findings proffer insights into micro-foundations of UIC by outlining various ways individuals conduct identity work to navigate and bridge cognitive and behavioural boundaries. This knowledge disputes the prevailing view that UIC related identity tensions and struggles should be resolved at the organizational level. Instead, identity work is shown to be crucial in harnessing these struggles to support the knowledge exchange and creation, necessary for innovation.

We address this gap by constructing a three-dimensional analytical framework that reflects the holistic role combinations of multi-level government across the multi-stage transformative innovation processes. Drawing on institutional theory and related research, this study conceptualizes eight critical roles of the government: planning, coordinating, allocating, investing, providing, regulating, evaluating, and publicizing in transformative innovation. By examining a recent policy experiment case of Sustainable Development Agenda Innovation Demonstration Zones in China, this study differentiates the distinct emphases of government roles across four stages of the transformative innovation process. Thus, we reveal the governance capabilities of the government throughout the innovation process to facilitate transformative innovation. Finally, we uncover the heterogeneity of preferences among central, provincial, and municipal governments and find that these multi-level governance actors have differentiated but synergistic roles given the distinct characteristics of various stages of the transformative innovation process. These governments must collaboratively utilize diverse policy instruments to maximize their roles within the scope of their administrative authority.
