Previous research on resistance to innovation cites functional, psychological, and individual barriers to consumer adoption of SOs, but it does not consider the role of SOs’ anthropomorphic features or their role as potential partners in relationships that can be referenced to interpersonal ones. We present a new theoretical lens to read consumer resistance to SOs. The new perspective is based on consumer–SO relationship literature and the fear-of-intimacy construct from the interpersonal relationship literature. The new perspective proposes that consumer resistance to SOs has a relational nature. Moreover, we support this proposition with preliminary evidence from an explorative qualitative study, based on ZMET-method interviews of non-SO users. This article reveals that consumer resistance to SOs can be read under a relational lens and shows that consumers resist adopting SOs because they experience fears related to their imagined relationships; these fears can be attributed to four negative SO social roles. This research contributes to resistance literature by suggesting that consumer resistance can have a relational nature, and to consumer–SO relationship literature, by identifying anticipated negative social roles of SOs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2024-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139738214","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}

Specifically, we contend that experiential knowledge stimulates investment in emerging technologies based on the absorptive capacity perspective. Meanwhile, drawing on the competency trap perspective, we also argue that experiential knowledge may discourage investment in emerging technologies. Empirical evidence from blockchain-related funding rounds reveals that experiential knowledge negatively influences investment in emerging technologies, which is consistent with the competency trap perspective. We also discover that investor reputation and investor status exacerbate the competency trap implications.

More recently, interest in how design can create value has moved from a functional to a strategic focus whereby the design concept defines the way in which the whole firm competes. This is known as “design orientation,” although research on the nature of this construct remains scarce. In this exploratory study to define and unpack the nature of design orientation we follow the same process as previous research on orientations, through extrapolation from the sustained behaviours at firms that use design to drive their strategy. Empirically, we ground our definition in insights from design experts and senior managers (n = 62) within a diverse sample of “design-oriented” firms (n = 26). We identify that design orientation consists of an overarching ethos defined by four core emphases (connective, empathetic, future, and aesthetic), reflected in and reinforced by eight behaviours (catalysing, integrating, perspective taking, marrying logics, disrupting, future-proofing, design language, and brand reinforcing). In so doing, we define the design orientation construct and identify the strategic investments firms can use to leverage it for competitive advantage. We provide an agenda for future research and explore managerial challenges associated with implementation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2024-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0166497223002547/pdfft?md5=b5762014feac4b07380a209f0c626ab0&pid=1-s2.0-S0166497223002547-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139694016","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 findings from an email-based survey of 324 high-tech small and medium-sized enterprises functioning in India confirm the positive link between DO and IP, and indicate that DBC positively moderates the aforementioned relationship.

Significantly, we also recognize the multidimensional nature of absorptive capacity, which suggests that individuals need different capabilities to learn and utilize new knowledge in their organizations.

In this article, we study innovation intermediaries in resource-constrained environments through a case study of the Kenyan water sector. To understand how intermediaries operate in these environments, we developed an analytical framework to identify the key functions offered by intermediaries at different stages of the innovation process. We identified three intermediary dimensions, recognising that most of the studied intermediaries provide support for the commercialisation of innovations, while far fewer focus on the earlier stages of the process, which hinders the systematic tackling of constraints. However, due to the intermediaries’ past involvement with institutional development, capacity building and overall regional development, they can efficiently mitigate the prevailing constraints and institutional voids. Further, we found that the intermediaries function as hybrid organisations as they adopt new roles and combine different operational logics to support innovators in addition to their more traditional roles in the development sector. Innovation intermediaries thus play a significant role in enabling innovation and sustainable development in resource-constrained environments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0166497224000063/pdfft?md5=0d79d934e632c98c3699c6307a1f11b2&pid=1-s2.0-S0166497224000063-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139653200","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 indicate that the PLLC model provides product-level technology life-cycle information, which can be used for specific product development strategies at the firm level. Moreover, product development strategies among firms were observed by constructing firm-level PLLCs into a phylogenetic tree; successful innovative firms accumulated high product innovativeness within their unique product lineages.

Yet, such diversity remains rather useless unless it is actively exchanged among inventor groups. Inventor groups, however, tend to specialize by engaging in so-called perspective-making activities, that is, in intra-group knowledge exchange and specialization. This makes them increasingly unable to communicate and understand other inventor groups and creates a risk of incommensurability, which attenuates a firm's effectiveness in its recombination for innovation. Here, we draw on transformational leadership theory to understand how TMTs are enabled to motivate and inspire their inventor groups to share information and knowledge, to mitigate incommensurability risks. For a TMT to act as an effective transformational leader, information is key, and their ability to send, receive, and process information is shaped, following classic organization theory, by their structural attributes. Hence, we study three key TMT structural attributes that underlie its information-processing capacity: Hierarchical structure, functional structure, and administrative intensity. Based on a longitudinal dataset that includes 124 pharmaceutical firms, 2815 top managers, and 34,203 inventors, we show that the positive relation between inventor group knowledge diversity and innovation performance strengthens with a functional structure yet weakens with administrative intensity. We contribute to the literature with its emphasis on how TMT compositional characteristics influence its cognitive processes and decision-making on innovation, by studying how TMT structural characteristics shape its information-processing capacity to be effective as transformational leaders in motivating and inspiring inventor groups to engage in perspective-taking and overcome incommensurability.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49444,"journal":{"name":"Technovation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":12.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016649722400004X/pdfft?md5=a3ac58775c3231935e43ef002f4bbb13&pid=1-s2.0-S016649722400004X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139653198","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}
