However, when these employees perceive themselves as overqualified for their current roles, this untapped potential can lead to divergent outcomes: serving as a catalyst for innovation or resulting in job dissatisfaction. This study examines the impact of perceived overqualification (POQ) on the innovative behavior of high-tech personnel by analyzing data from 374 professionals across technology firms in Taiwan and Thailand. Our findings indicate that while POQ can enhance innovative performance, its effectiveness is significantly influenced by the type of motivation and the level of technological uncertainty. Specifically, extrinsic motivation tends to dampen the innovative potential of overqualified employees, whereas intrinsic motivation amplifies it. The innovative capacity of overqualified employees is fully realized when their intrinsic motivation is high, particularly in environments characterized by significant technological uncertainty. Drawing on self-determination theory and cognitive evaluation theory, this study offers strategies for organizations to leverage the innovative capacity of overqualified employees. These strategies are vital in dynamic technological landscapes, where boosting intrinsic motivation can turn overqualification from a liability into a strategic asset for sustained innovation and competitive advantage.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"952-965"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143667690","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 survey data from 196 information technology (IT) firms in mainland China, we reveal that both product and service customization significantly mediate the positive relationship between GenAI's creational affordances and market performance. Furthermore, customer orientation merely enhances the mediation effect of service customization, underscoring its critical role in maximizing the strategic benefits of GenAI. We contribute to existing technology-driven operations management research by emphasizing the moderated mediation mechanism in the relationship between GenAI's creational affordances and market performance.

Some projects in the construction program might face forbidden time window constraints (e.g., periodic typhoon season), thereby influencing client's overall schedule. The construction program with forbidden time windows significantly challenges the traditional scheduling methods. To solve this problem, a two-phase scheduling framework is proposed. Before the construction program execution, a predictive scheduling method is used to generate an optimal baseline schedule. From the client perspective, each project of the construction program is considered as a node in the schedule network. During the execution, a reactive scheduling method is applied to adjust the baseline schedule when deviations occur. To validate the method, numerical experiments are conducted for a real-life case of a large water conservancy construction program. The results show that the peak demand of self-producing resource and the production system investment cost is reduced by 9.09% and 9.05%, respectively, compared with the critical path method. The framework provides clients with an effective tool for scheduling programs with forbidden time windows.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"842-854"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143698287","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}

Therefore, it is critical to understand the mediating and moderating roles of these factors to ensure that contract flexibility has a positive impact. This article constructs a parallel and contradictory mediation model and identifies the boundary conditions from intraorganizational, interorganizational, and institutional levels. Data were collected from 272 Chinese construction projects and analyzed using structural equation model techniques. The results indicate that contract flexibility has a double-edged sword effect on contractors’ opportunistic behavior. Dynamic capabilities and the strength of auditing can intensify the relationship between contract flexibility and cooperative intentions or conflict, potentially stimulating the contractors’ opportunistic behaviors. Interorganizational trust enhances the supportive role of contract flexibility in cooperative intentions, but it also exacerbates conflicts and triggers contractors’ opportunistic behavior. This research enriches the existing body of knowledge on contract reference point theory by revealing the hidden mechanisms between contract and behavior. It explores the double-edged sword effect of contract flexibility within multilevel contextual frameworks, clarifying its boundary conditions.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"987-999"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143698286","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}

This approach facilitates complementary value creation. However, small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) encounter significant challenges within such ecosystems due to their limited size and limited resources. This article contributes to the extant studies on knowledge ecosystems by investigating how collaborations within these ecosystems enable SMEs to both explore and exploit knowledge, enhancing their innovation capabilities. Drawing on empirical data from 33 semistructured interviews and two focus groups involving multiple stakeholders (18 SMEs, 1 large firm, and 14 intermediary firms) from a knowledge ecosystem in Ostrobothnia, Finland, this article finds that knowledge cocreation through collaboration significantly improves SMEs’ technological and collaborative capabilities, leading to growth and market expansion. Intermediary firms play a dual role, going beyond knowledge brokering by providing capacity-building support that helps SMEs better contextualize and utilize external knowledge. This article advances both theoretical and practical understanding by demonstrating how intermediary firms function not only as facilitators but also as active capacity builders in the knowledge exploitation process. This nuanced understanding contributes to the ongoing discourse on ecosystem dynamics and SME innovation. From a practical perspective, SMEs should leverage core partners and intermediaries to address their inherent resource constraints and drive innovation performance. This approach enables them to expand their networks, codevelop technological solutions, and potentially secure future funding.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"604-618"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143667619","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}

These endeavors can help enterprises reduce risks and make money while expanding the scope of their technology portfolios and imposing transformative impact. However, in terms of practical management, how do enterprises discover potential new areas to which they can apply their existing technologies? Current research mostly focuses on the existing links between technologies and functions. But few studies discuss the hidden, yet-to-be-achieved links among these elements that hold the promise of potential. Exploring these opportunities is arguably more important in today's highly integrated world. Focusing on the microlevel of knowledge elements, in this article, we differentiate between the concept of explicit and implicit application opportunities, i.e., known and unknown opportunities, and present a systematic approach for discovering potential application areas for technologies. The approach, which is driven by function-based subject–action–object (SAO) semantic analysis, comprises four steps. First, technology–function pairs are extracted from patent documents using SAO semantic analysis. Second, a bilayer technology–function network is constructed based on co-occurrence relationships. Third, explicit application opportunities are identified via technology–function mapping. Finally, implicit application opportunities are identified through link prediction. A case study on immunotherapy technologies demonstrates the framework in practice, showing it to be both flexible and reliable. Furthermore, in addition to technology opportunity analysis, this framework also provides support for technology deployment and resource allocation decisions to enterprises with limited resources.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"855-872"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143698198","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}

However, existing literature offers limited insight into how AI facilitates innovation within new energy enterprises. Using data from 145 Chinese A-share listed companies from 2011 to 2022, this study employs a staggered difference-in-differences model to investigate the impact of intelligent transformation on technological innovation in new energy enterprises. The results show that: 1) Intelligent transformation significantly drives technological innovation in new energy enterprises, with digital financial development and the presence of senior executives with information technology backgrounds serving as positive moderating factors; 2) Attracting government subsidies, improving internal control quality, and promoting human capital upgrades serve as critical channels through which intelligent transformation in new energy enterprises generates innovation incentive effects; and 3) Intelligent transformation generates adverse spatial spillover effects on the technological innovation of neighboring enterprises, mainly through the siphoning of innovation resources. Neighboring new energy enterprises within the same subindustry face stronger negative spillovers, while enterprises with greater market power are less affected. These insights inform targeted policy recommendations to address these dynamics.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"703-716"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143667643","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}

This hybrid revenue model targets two user segments: subscribers and free users in the hybrid pricing scheme. This article investigates the equilibrium pricing strategies of two competing ICPs, examining the impacts of market characteristics, including subscription competition, users’ price sensitivity, advertising intensity, and the standalone-value difference, on users’ content choices and the interaction between subscription and advertising profits. We find that as subscription competition decreases, the ICP offering a greater standalone value can achieve a higher subscription profit by raising its subscription fee, especially when advertising intensity, users’ price sensitivity, and the standalone-value difference are relatively small. However, when the standalone-value difference is significant, the ICP with a lower standalone value can generate a higher subscription profit by raising its subscription fee, as subscribers switch from its rival to the lowerpriced option. In the context of lower subscription competition (or higher users’ price sensitivity), ICPs can reduce their advertising prices as some subscribers convert to free users, leveraging advertiser-side network effects to attract more advertisers and boost their total profits. In contrast, ICPs can raise their advertising prices with higher advertising intensity, while the conversion of free users to subscribers reduces their advertiser demands, particularly under relatively strong advertiser-side network effects, leading ICPs to focus more on the subscription segment.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"937-951"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143698246","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}
