This study examines how governance mechanisms shape the performance implications of these collaborations by analyzing survey data from 101 Italian automotive manufacturers. Focusing on two relational governance practices—co-creation and continuous collaboration—and two types of digital technologies—network and physical–digital interface technologies—we find that governance effectiveness is strongly contingent on technological characteristics. Co-creation is associated with lower cost efficiency when applied to more standardized physical–digital interface technologies, whereas relational governance is associated with higher cost efficiency in more systemically integrative digital initiatives involving network technologies. These findings advance research on inter-organizational governance and digital transformation by demonstrating how governance–technology alignment shapes operational outcomes and by highlighting the underexplored role of system integrators in manufacturing digitalization. The study also offers managers and policymakers guidance on tailoring governance to technological and relational contexts to support effective digital adoption.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50209,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering and Technology Management","volume":"80 ","pages":"Article 101969"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148183886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering the rise of the topic, this study aims to offer a comprehensive and theoretically grounded synthesis of the extant literature on the integration of digital technologies, servitization and BM, by employing a systematic literature review, with the objective of identifying prevailing research trends and gaps that warrant further investigation. To this end, we identified and analysed a sample of 131 articles, ranging from 2005 to 2025. The article presents the content analysis of these articles according to the type of servitized offering, starting from the more general ones, namely general product-service systems (PSSs), to the more specified product-oriented services, until the most sophisticated use- and outcome-oriented services. The analysis reveals that, as service offerings become more complex, the three domains of digital technologies, servitization and BMs are progressively addressed not as isolated phenomena, but as interdependent elements. Building on this evidence, the article offers a novel contribution by systematizing a fragmented body of literature and by providing a clearer and more structured specification of digital servitization and its implications for BMs. Hence, from a theoretical perspective, the study advances existing knowledge by explicitly linking the three domains and clarifying their integration across different service configurations. From a managerial perspective, findings support managers in navigating digitalization and servitization, highlighting how they translate into distinct effects on BMs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50209,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering and Technology Management","volume":"80 ","pages":"Article 101971"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148183887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the theories of industrial agglomeration and the resource-based view, this study empirically examines the influence and operational mechanisms of virtual agglomeration, innovation network embeddedness and competitive advantage, using data from Chinese digital creative firms between 2015 and 2021. The findings reveal that virtual agglomeration effectively enhances the competitive advantage of digital creative firms, with significant promotional effects demonstrated on both foundational and growing competitive advantages. The results of mechanism testing indicate that the relationship between virtual agglomeration and the competitive advantage of digital creative firms is mediated by innovation network embeddedness, while the embeddedness structures of cooperative and knowledge networks have distinct differential effects on competitive advantage. Therefore, digital creative firms should place significant emphasis on integrated interaction within virtual and geographical spaces to strengthen the role of virtual agglomeration in enhancing competitive advantages. Furthermore, they should actively implement systematic strategies centred on structural optimization to maximize the positive spillover effects of innovation networks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50209,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering and Technology Management","volume":"80 ","pages":"Article 101965"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147951025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conceptualize Industry 5.0 readiness as a socio-technical dynamic capability, modeled as a second-order construct that integrates human, process, and technology capabilities using the People-Process-Technology (PPT) framework. Building on open innovation and contingency theory, we develop a moderated structural model in which inside-out open innovation (IO-OI) and outside-in open innovation (OI-OI) jointly shape Industry 5.0 readiness under varying levels of technological and market turbulence. We test the model using partial least squares structural equation modelling on survey data from 227 senior managers in 80 publicly listed U.S. manufacturing firms. The results indicate that IO-OI has a broad and sizeable positive association with Industry 5.0 readiness across all three PPT dimensions, whereas OI-OI has more selective effects, primarily strengthening technology capability and moderately enhancing process capability. Technological turbulence amplifies the positive effect of inside-out openness on readiness, while market turbulence does not systematically enhance the benefits of openness and may constrain them. The study advances knowledge by (i) providing an empirically validated, PPT-based operationalization of Industry 5.0 readiness as a dynamic capability, (ii) distinguishing the distinct mechanisms through which IO-OI and OI-OI develop socio-technical readiness, revealing asymmetric patterns not previously documented, and (iii) extending contingency theory by demonstrating that environmental turbulence operates conditionally rather than uniformly, with technological turbulence selectively enhancing IO-OI effects while market turbulence shows limited moderating influence. These findings challenge prevailing assumptions about the universality of openness strategies and the effects of turbulence in organizational transformation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50209,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering and Technology Management","volume":"80 ","pages":"Article 101960"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147656954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a longitudinal dataset of major global semiconductor manufacturing firms, we find that the change in R&D expenditure does not directly affect the change in AI innovation intensity. However, an increase in technological competence strengthens the positive effect of R&D expenditure change on AI innovation intensity change, whereas an increase in AI technological diversification weakens—and may even reverse—this effect.
