Managing the complexity of green innovation
2022
PurposeGreen innovation can promote both environmental sustainability and economic growth. However, its development and implementation can be complex due to the need to align innovation activities within and across companies. In this study, the authors examined how this complexity can be managed by analyzing how individual companies combine different innovation activities to develop green innovation, and how companies along the value chain align to implement these innovations.Design/methodology/approachThe dataset comprises both interviews and a survey of senior executives from the Swedish wood construction industry. These data were first analyzed by using fuzzy set qualitative comparative …
The Future of Co-Creation
2011
The objective of this article is to provide a brief summary of the key directions in value co-creation research that have emerged in the last 10 years. It points to several emerging streams in value co-creation research including: i) general management perspective; ii) new product development and innovation; iii) virtual customer environments; iv) service science and service-dominant logic (SDL) of marketing; and v) international markets and entrepreneurship, with a focus on the general management and innovation perspectives. In addition, the article points to another emerging new direction focusing on business co-creation. The development of business co-creation frameworks integrating the …
Extending the Concept of Knowledge Management into Innovation and New Business Creation
2018
Knowledge management (KM) is a widely-used term in management science of 2000’s. The key essence of KM can be coined e.g. as a “purposeful management of activities and processes for leveraging knowledge to keep and improve competitive positioning by using well individual and collective knowledge resources of the firm and its stakeholders” (CEN, 2004). Majority of the KM discussion and research has focused on recognition, expression and dissemination of knowledge as it manifests itself in the present day of an organization. Research has focused on tangible knowledge artefacts such as Patents, Utility models, Trademarks, Licenses. The processes of creation and maintenance of knowledge are use…
Inovācijas universitātē: varas un leģitimitātes aspekti
2014
Anotācija Promocijas darba mērķis ir analizēt augšupvērstas inovācijas universitātē, tās specifiskajā strukturālās varas, profesionālās autonomijas un profesionālo prakses kopienu kontekstā. Pētījums veikts izmantojot konstrukcionisma pieeju datos pamatotās vidēja līmeņa teorijas izveidei. Teorētiskie jēdzieni aizgūti no situatīvās mācīšanās teorijas, papildinātas ar mikro-institucionālisma pieeju un varas konceptualizācijām. Veikta 30 mikro-gadījumu analīze divās Latvijas universitātēs. Pētījumā raksturota augšupvērstu inovāciju daudzveidība, izveidoti trīs inovāciju virzīšanas modeļi, identificēta to iznākumu ietekme uz inovācijas rosinātāju identitāti un piederību. Autore saista šos rezu…
Regional Systems of Innovation: a Literature Review
2012
Though various authors have offered reviews of the Regional Innovation Systems (RIS) literature and some have described their personal intellectual voyage amongst the building blocks that constitute this area of scientific enquiry (for example, Cooke 2008), these often illuminating illustrations are nonetheless subjective and, thus, suffer from biases which pertain to the actor performing the analysis. The study proposed in this paper aims to overcome the aforementioned limitation by elaborating an objective review of the main contributions to the RIS field of research, highlighting the main themes studied and the principal approaches followed. The analysis has been conducted following the …
The Slow Adoption Rate of Software Robotics in Accounting and Payroll Services and the Role of Resistance to Change in Innovation-Decision Process
2022
Robotic process automation (RPA) has by now for years been viewed as a disruptive innovation that will have a significant impact on accounting, HR and payroll services, and yet the rate of adopting the innovation has not reached a level anticipated in past predictions. As several elements have a negative impact on the organization’s rate of adopting RPA, passive resistance to change has a significant impact in the form of constant dithering. Resistance to change can emerge at any stage of the Innovation-Decision process and fluctuate throughout the continued adoption, causing wasted investments, capabilities and resources. peerReviewed
Silent rain: does the atmosphere-mediated connectivity between microbiomes influence bacterial evolutionary rates?
2020
ABSTRACT Air carries a vast number of bacteria and viruses over great distances all the time. This leads to continuous introduction of foreign genetic material to local, established microbial communities. In this perspective, I ask whether this silent rain may have a slowing effect on the overall evolutionary rates in the microbial biosphere. Arguably, the greater the genetic divergence between gene ‘donors’ and ‘recipients’, the greater the chance that the gene product has a deleterious epistatic interaction with other gene products in its genetic environment. This is due to the long-term absence of check for mutual compatibility. As such, if an organism is extensively different from other…
Kapitał społeczny w zrównoważonym rozwoju regionu opolskiego na przykładzie badań w towarowych gospodarstwach rolnych / Social capital in balanced de…
2016
Kolejna transformacja kapitalizmu, wspierana narzędziami społeczeństwa informacyjnego, zakłada wiele endogenicznych zmian technologicznych wprowadzanych z uwzględnieniem środowiska instytucjonalnego służącego rozwojowi zrównoważonemu. Taka forma globalizacji potrzebuje lokalności, także tej kryjącej się w rolnictwie i na obszarach wiejskich, i stanowi szanse ich rozwoju. W artykule uzasadniana jest teza, że sieci społeczne rolników i ich powiązania międzyorganizacyjne stanowią warunek takiej zmiany, o ile służą zapewnieniu trwałości kapitału naturalnego, finansowego i ludzkiego. W pracy analizowane są wyniki badań kwestionariuszowych dotyczących zrównoważonego rozwoju towarowych gospodarstw…
