Guided by an intrapreneurial ecosystem framework, our analysis is based on a combination of administrative and survey panel data for 141 UK higher education institutions. We arrive at several contributing findings. These suggest that the intrapreneurial ecosystem within academia is increasingly predisposed towards enhancing the quality of graduate outcomes rather than simply promoting raw measures such as graduate jobs or the number of graduate start-ups. Furthermore, we reveal the critical role of University national stakeholder networks for graduate career satisfaction, start-up generation, and undergraduate employment. Finally, our empirical exercise and its results demonstrate the practical value of the proposed concept of the intrapreneurial ecosystem for University management and practitioners, not least because it systematically identifies areas for an immediate, medium- and long-term action.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0166497224000464/pdfft?md5=ea3fe2b8fd0504a717b2b3bd01b7e853&pid=1-s2.0-S0166497224000464-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140328210","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}

The results show that the adaptive change in EEEs is a dynamic process. The negative impact of international business environment challenges on enterprise development is the starting point for enterprises to adopt change behaviors. Through adaptive change in innovation strategy, innovation architecture and innovation systems, EEEs can break through technology blockades, overcome market crises and further weaken the negative impact of such challenges.

Using the anticipation-value stances, we then present a typology of four modes of innovation failure that can arise ‘from’ task and outcomes failure in the innovation process. The four modes (and associated learning response) are <em>unsolicited failures</em> (prevent-alert-eliminate); <em>hazardous failures</em> (predict-modify-mitigate); <em>fortuitous failures</em> (probe-expose-extrapolate); and <em>excursive failures</em> (facilitate-analyze-harness). To help explain the ideas in our process model and typology, we use the well-known IDEO shopping cart innovation project as an illustrative example. Together, these contributions provide contingency oriented insights on how failure varies and journeys within and from the innovation process, which helps researchers and managers to better understand the related causes, effects and learning responses.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0166497224000452/pdfft?md5=b0cccf996f17d7a14e12efde6166a6b6&pid=1-s2.0-S0166497224000452-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140290614","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}

In the low-carbon industry, positioning affective features of the products effectively gives firm a competitive edge. By applying blockchain to online product communities (OPCs), firms can gain insights into consumers' affective requirements during product positioning. In this study, we develop a game-theoretic framework to explore how to optimize affective design of low-carbon products with blockchain application. We find that firms' affective product design depends on two conflicting forces. On one hand, blockchain adoption in OPCs enhances estimation precision, motivating firms to provide mass products that meet mainstream marketplace requirements. On the other hand, blockchain implementation improves estimation similarity, inducing firms to target niche markets. The network effect exacerbates these two conflicting forces, and the trade-off between them determines firms' product design decisions. Additionally, we examine the impacts of blockchain adoption on firms' profits, environmental performance, consumer surplus, and social welfare. We discover that blockchain application in OPCs is always socially beneficial. However, blockchain adoption's effect on economic and environmental performance, as well as consumer surplus, is contingent on the significance of the conflicting forces. We further conduct a survey and in-depth interviews to validate these findings.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0166497224000415/pdfft?md5=05914b1f5bde5f390761d3067cedc2e7&pid=1-s2.0-S0166497224000415-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140190843","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}

This has given rise to a specific form of innovation strategy, “data-push innovation”, which consists of stimulating the use of existing data by third-party actors. However, how to manage such a strategy remains challenging. The paper explores this question by examining the longitudinal case study of an actor that has successfully stimulated the use of Earth observation data by multiple actors over the last 40 years. The paper offers several contributions to research in information systems and innovation management. First, the paper shows that data-push innovation can be fostered through the intentional design of a so-called “fit system” allowing data to be used in multiple contexts. Such a fit system can be built as a generic system, following similar “generification” strategies as those supporting platform or software development but with original patterns to adapt to the specificities of data-push innovation. Second, the paper characterizes the types of “boundary resources” needed to support this process. These boundary resources especially have a two-way resourcing function: they help third-party actors contribute to the fit system development, but they also allow the fit system owner to identify the knowledge boundaries preventing data from gaining meaning in new contexts. Third, the paper reveals an intriguing form of localized and nondominant platform leadership, focusing on gaining generative power rather than controlling power over the platform ecosystem.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140069516","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}

Although an increase in innovation radicalness may enhance a firm's visibility to governments, it also significantly raises the costs associated with interpreting signals. As a result, there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between innovation radicalness and government subsidies. Furthermore, we found a positive moderating effect of political connections, suggesting that signal observability increases with stronger political ties. We tested our hypotheses using data from listed SMEs in China between 2004 and 2019.
