Yet, these collaborations often face challenges, notably cognitive distance, highlighting the need to balance potential novelty and mutual understanding between partner firms. Drawing on prior research that indicates a non-linear relationship between cognitive distance and innovation outcomes, we focus on collaboration controls—tools and practices that guide and motivate managers responsible for startup collaborations— serving as critical mechanisms for incumbents to exploit cognitive distance. We hypothesize that the use of collaboration controls mediates the non-linear relationship between cognitive distance and realizing enhanced innovation capabilities. Empirical findings from a survey of 239 French incumbents confirm an inverted U-shaped relation between cognitive distance and enhanced innovative capabilities. Notably, we find that use of collaboration controls mediates this relationship, highlighting the importance of controls in exploiting cognitive distance. This research contributes to unveiling the intricacies of successful collaborations between incumbents and startups by uncovering a critical role for collaboration controls in realizing novelty potential.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":"134 ","pages":"Article 103047"},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2024-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016649722400097X/pdfft?md5=45350d03b87eba04b34924f52387c40a&pid=1-s2.0-S016649722400097X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141164544","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}

However, these models are not always the most appropriate methods for increasing our understanding of these phenomena. This is because linear models depend on the principle of reductionism – which separates causal processes into their independent components – and overlooks systemwide attributes. To advance research findings that do not adequately address complex causal processes, we advocate using set-theoretic mediation models that offer analytical features better suited for holistically uncovering interdependent and intervening pathways. This method enables investigating complex causal processes associated with the conjunction, equifinality, and asymmetry that can occur with multiple interdependent variables. We provide researchers with practical guidance on constructing and testing set-theoretic mediation models using widely available software while demonstrating these procedures with an illustrative analysis. In doing so, we seek to guide researchers interested in integrating these models into their studies and recommend best practices for implementation. We argue that set-theoretic meditation models can be utilized in various contexts, as they offer new research opportunities for exploring unified necessity and sufficiency relational systems in ways existing methods have yet to address.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":"134 ","pages":"Article 103015"},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2024-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141067727","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}

Prior research has distinguished between two forms of customer involvement: customers as an information source (CIS) and customers as co-developers (CIC). We build on this stream of literature and investigate the impact of CIS and CIC on firms’ NPD performance in the digital context by considering both the benefits and costs of these two forms of customer involvement. Furthermore, we explore the moderating role of NPD stage. Based on survey data collected from 263 informants, we show that whereas CIS has a positive effect on NPD performance, CIC has an inverted U-shaped relationship with NPD performance. More interestingly, the positive relationship between CIS and NPD performance is more pronounced in the ideation stage than in the product development stage, and the inverted U-shaped relationship between CIC and NPD performance is steeper in the product development stage than that in the ideation stage. In our additional analyses, we further divide the NPD stage into four stages and found similar results as our main analyses.

However, these ideas may be only hidden in a small part of the massive reviews. This study aims to investigate the potential of using anomaly detection technology to identify unique reviews for more effective innovation generation. Three classical anomaly detection approaches (including both machine and deep learning) were explored, namely, isolation forest, density-based cluster analysis, and autoencoder methods. Using the consumer reviews on Dyson Vacuum cleaner from Xiaohongshu (one of the most popular social media platforms in China), we tested and compared the application of these three approaches in detecting innovation-relevant reviews. The results indicate that the two machine learning approaches, aka., density-based cluster analysis and isolation forest are too sensitive to the length of the reviews. The deep learning method, autoencoder, on the contrary, shows good stability and capability to detect the unique reviews from the whole dataset. Furthermore, the experts’ rating also confirms the effectiveness of autoencoder in identifying innovation-relevant reviews.

When they collaborate, organizations might develop innovative service offerings and stay relevant in the market over time, enabled by advances in technologies. However, the collaborative dynamics underpinning strategies for continuous service innovation remain underexplored, such that extant research predominantly adopts an organization-centric perspective and fails to offer a comprehensive view of collaborative innovation initiatives that integrate consecutive projects across technology life cycles. To bridge these gaps, the current research applies an action research approach to the supply chain of organizations dedicated to complex technology delivery and maintenance in the maritime industry. The findings specify not just collaborative strategies for continuous service innovation but also the influential factors and operational service attributes crucial to their success. Therefore, this study proposes collaborative strategies for continuous service innovation, with the assertion that collaboration opportunities are integral to developing and managing novel services.
