This research investigates the direct effect of two open innovation strategies, namely, external technology acquisition and external technology exploitation, on digital transformation of emerging-market SMEs. It also examines how firm age and size moderate such effect. Analyses of 320 dual-source (one general manager and one production manager), time-lagged data from 160 Thai electronics SMEs suggest that external technology acquisition and external technology exploitation positively affect digital transformation. Moreover, as SMEs age, the positive effect of external technology acquisition and external technology exploitation on digital transformation becomes weaker and stronger, respectively. Furthermore, the positive effect of external technology exploitation on digital transformation appears to be stronger for larger SMEs than for smaller ones. The findings suggest that, to achieve digital transformation, early-stage SMEs’ managers should practice external technology acquisition; once SMEs mature, they should engage more in external technology exploitation. Likewise, as firm size does not moderate the effect of external technology acquisition on digital transformation, even small SMEs can attain digital transformation by effectively acquiring external technology.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"71 ","pages":"15555-15568"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142789025","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 qualitatively demonstrated that data element input can improve total factor productivity (TFP) by constructing a new classical economic growth model by adding data elements. On this basis, we built a translog stochastic frontier model to incorporate data elements into the production function and TFP measurement model. Using data from Chinese manufacturing listed companies from 2010 to 2023, we quantitatively measured and dynamically evaluated the impact of data element input on manufacturing TFP and the role of technical efficiency and technological progress. The results revealed the following: 1) Data element input as a whole is beneficial for improving manufacturing TFP, but the main path is the improvement of technical efficiency. Additionally, data processing and application significantly improve TFP, whereas data acquisition does not. 2) The impact of digitalization on the current industrial structure has not affected technological progress, but it has restricted improvements in technical efficiency. Data elements are increasingly becoming the critical material basis for the manufacturing industry's digital transformation. In this context, this study has the following practical value: 1) It helps better identify the critical path of data elements to empower manufacturing industry TFP to implement more targeted digital transformation in practice; and 2) it contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of digitalization on the manufacturing industry structure to fully leverage the positive role of data elements in enhancing enterprise productivity.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"71 ","pages":"15320-15332"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142600230","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}

The model, adapted from the “European Skills, Competences, Qualifications, and Occupations” framework, is designed to categorize and evaluate skills relevant to the engineering department of the National Physical Laboratory. This allows extraction of quantitative data on individual staff members' skills and competency levels, and the necessary skills for specific Job Title and Job Role combinations. It distinguishes between “Job Titles,” official job designations, and “Job Roles,” unofficial designations categorizing staff according to their work areas, allowing the model to conform with inherent organizational rigiditiy. The model can cross-reference information using specific queries, such as extracting skills from specific individuals and assessing if they meet their current job functions. This model enhances existing skill management frameworks by allowing for a traceable pathway for skill allocation, allowing for future expansion by including other departments. Integrating validation procedures to assess staff skills, such as the inclusion of proof attached to skills, can also be considered. It offers operational benefits like enhanced capability planning, informed staff development, optimized resource allocation, and improved training programmes.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"71 ","pages":"15363-15374"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142672166","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}

Practice has proved that the implementation of the manufacturing execution system (MES) can better monitor and manage the production process, improve the production efficiency of enterprises, and effectively realize zero defect management (ZDM). Against this background, the influencing factors of implementing MES in ZDM enterprises in digital transformation were obtained by using the literature extraction-Delphi method, and the relationship between the factors was analyzed by using the system dynamics simulation model in this study. It is found that different from the existing research works on the implementation of MES in enterprises, staff preparation and level of information sharing are the most influential factors and play an important role in the implementation of MES in ZDM enterprises. Equipment preparation and client preparation followed closely, with supplier implementation team and scale infrastructure conditions playing a key role in providing capability support. This finding provides the direction for enterprises to improve the relevant implementation measures in time to ensure the effective implementation of MES in ZDM enterprises, and also provides a breakthrough for relevant researchers to find valuable research fields.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"71 ","pages":"15306-15319"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142600372","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}

For this purpose, we adopted regression analysis for panel data with fixed effects and considered the data of 4100 firm-year observations of Taiwanese listed companies in the electronics industry from 2000 to 2021. The findings suggest that technological crowding urges firms to pursue exploration to ease heightened competition intensity and crowd out their competitors. Recalling the literature on the competency trap phenomenon in which some dominant firms may exhibit technological superiority underperformance, we further propose that the dark side of technological superiority is more visible when firms are positioned in crowded technological areas. Specifically, firms with stronger combinatorial capabilities or greater technological prestige refrain from investing in exploration because they are tied with high couplings between their homogeneous knowledge elements and indulge themselves in existing success. Our findings remain robust after adjusting the window of research and using the negative binomial regression with fixed effects based on the alternative measure of exploratory innovation. This article contributes significantly to the literature on technological position and knowledge networks by shedding light on the critical role of technological crowding in propelling firms’ exploration efforts. Our results also offer significant implications for executives in dominant firms and policymakers to become more aware of the competency trap and seek ways to span technological boundaries.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"71 ","pages":"15390-15404"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142679345","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}

To address this issue, this article mainly considers two scenarios: the regular or green-supportive manufacturer. Furthermore, we develop four mathematical models to determine the retailer's green item introduction decisions. The research findings indicate that the manufacturer's CSR would significantly impact both firms’ pricing decisions and may change market distribution. Additionally, the retailer introducing green items will reduce the wholesale/retail prices of nongreen items but may foster an augmentation in overall demand. It is noteworthy that the retailer introducing green items does not necessarily cannibalize the sales of nongreen items; instead, it may even enhance their sales. Significantly, this strategy can benefit the green-supportive manufacturer if the greening cost is relatively low. These implications underscore that incentivizing manufacturers to care more about environmentally conscious consumers can serve as a viable strategy for promoting sustainable development initiatives.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"71 ","pages":"15224-15235"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142595098","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}

In this article, we explore the impact of complaints on firms’ idiosyncratic risk by considering both the valence and channel characteristics of complaints. Through textual analysis, complaints are categorized into four types based on the intersection of two dimensions: the valence (mild or severe) of the complaint and the channel (firm or platform) through which the complaint is lodged. Empirical analysis is conducted to test the hypotheses. The results reveal that firms’ idiosyncratic risk rises after severe complaints but decreases after mild complaints. Moreover, while mild platform-channel complaints increase risk, severe platform-channel complaints reduce risk. This study highlights the disparate impacts of the channel and valence of complaints on manufacturing and service firms. This research contributes to the literature on online complaints and the marketing–finance interface, offering valuable insights for firms seeking to mitigate their idiosyncratic risk through complaint management strategies.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"71 ","pages":"15333-15348"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142600373","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, both approaches face criticism in how they address novelty and uncertainty, which are crucial to successful entrepreneurship. While generative AI (GenAI) is increasingly used in entrepreneurial tasks, the practices through which it becomes a learning resource for entrepreneurs remain unexplored. Based on a qualitative study, we present a process model that illustrates how entrepreneurs incorporate GenAI into business model design through five resourcing practices. These practices transform GenAI into a valuable resource for facilitating learning during the design process. This approach, which we term “learning-by-conversing,” introduces a generative startup methodology to complement the lean startup model. We distinguish two modes of learning by conversing—reflexive learning and confirmatory learning—based on how novice and experienced entrepreneurs engage with it. By proposing a learning approach that integrates GenAI with entrepreneurial efforts, we bridge the “thinking” versus “doing” debate in business model generation and deepen our understanding of GenAI's role in entrepreneurship.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"71 ","pages":"15278-15291"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142595091","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}
