Harnessing the Innovation Opportunities of Novel Technologies and Technological Change
Business Research Methodologies and the need for Economies of Scale in the Business Research Process: Harnessing the Innovation Opportunities of Novel Technologies and Technological Change Chris William Callaghan University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa [email protected] DOI: 10.34190/JBRM.17.3.007 Abstract: Theory and evidence suggests that returns to research and research and development are currently declining. This paper seeks to identify patterns in the use of business research methodologies in certain of the latest articles published at the forefront of the field of business research innovation, from its leading journal. This literature is used to identify the current front line of business research methodologies at the forefront of the field. Propositions are derived from novel theory, and are critically juxtaposed against identified topics and methodologies in these articles. In so doing, the conceptual distance of the front line of empirical research in the field from the radical front line of theory in the broader field is quantified. Methodological implications are discussed and recommendations are made for the development of a future research agenda. Keywords: Research methodology; Innovation; Technology; Technological change; Management; Crowdsourcing 1. Introduction Global growth in volumes of goods and services- produced using a given amount of labour and capital- has over time fundamentally determined growth in human living standards (Fabina and Wright, 2013). For example, the world’s gross domestic product (GDP) has risen over 20-fold since 1850, globally transforming standards of living (Stewart, 2018). This rise in our standards of living has therefore been ascribed to technical progress, measured as total factor productivity- the contribution to growth of how effectively we combine given amounts of labour and capital. -
Interplay of Network Structure and Neighbour Performance in User Innovation
ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-019-0383-x OPEN Interplay of network structure and neighbour performance in user innovation Kunhao Yang1*, Itsuki Fujisaki1,2 & Kazuhiro Ueda1* ABSTRACT Previous studies showed that regular users have become an important source of innovation (called user innovation). Previous studies also suggested that two factors have significant impacts on user innovation: the social network structure of the users and neigh- ’ 1234567890():,; bours innovation performance (neighbours mean users having interactions with the focal user). However, in these studies, the influence of the two factors were only discussed separately, and it remained unclear whether these two factors interdependently affected a focal user’s innovation. To examine the interplay between the network structure and the neighbours’ innovation performance, we harnessed data sets from “Idea Storm”, which col- lects data on user network and idea submission. Through panel regression analyses, we found that—within an open-network structure—the higher innovation performance of neighbours has a larger positive impact on the focal user’s innovation ability. Conversely, in an enclosed network structure, neighbours’ higher performance has a larger negative impact on the focal user’s innovation ability. Our findings filled an important gap in understanding the interplay between the network structure and the neighbours’ performance in user innovation. More broadly, these results suggested that the interplay between the neighbours and the network structures merits attention that even goes beyond user innovation. 1 Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan. 2 Research Fellowship for Young Scientists (DC2), Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), Tokyo, Japan. -

Abstract This report discusses models of distributed innovation and how they differ in their nature, effects, and origins. Starting from Open Innovation, the paper analyses its methodological evolution, some of its applications, and the opportunities to apply it in a social context. Open Innovation has gained traction in the last ten years and because of this popularity, Open Innovation has been endowed with numerous meanings. This paper dives into the large literature associated with Open Innovation. -
Public Support for Science and Innovation
Public Support for Science and Innovation A supplementary submission to the Productivity Commission from CSIRO responding to the draft report December 2006 Introduction and overview CSIRO believes that the draft report on public support for science and innovation makes a substantial contribution to discussions on the rationale for such support and on the benefits that flow to Australia from public investment in science. The findings of the report result from a rigorous analysis of available data using a variety of methods; acknowledge the considerable difficulties that can exist in trying to quantify even the economic returns that result from public sector support for science and innovation; and take a realistically broad view of the range of tangible and intangible benefits that such investment can produce. The report and the debate it generates should provide an opportunity to re-set the baselines for what publicly supported research does, and why. CSIRO in general supports the findings and conclusions of the report, which are fair, balanced and recognise the uncertainties that will always exist. While the findings that there ‘are strong rationales for the provision of public funding support for science and innovation’ and that ‘there are significant positive economic, social and environmental impacts from publicly supported science and innovation’ are not surprising, they are none the less welcome as the conclusions of an independent disinterested, technical study. Another important feature of the report is that it makes explicit the diversity of pathways through which science can have impact. This puts commercialisation into perspective as only one of many possible pathways to impact, noting that too great a focus on commercialisation can divert attention from some broader and even more important outcomes of research. -

The Impact of Regulation on Innovation
Nesta Working Paper No. 12/02 The Impact of Regulation on Innovation Knut Blind The Impact of Regulation on Innovation Knut Blind Technische Universität Berlin, Chair of Innovation Economics Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Chair of Standardisation Nesta Working Paper 12/02 January 2012 www.nesta.org.uk/wp12‐02 Abstract This paper is part of the Compendium of Evidence on the Effectiveness of Innovation Policy Intervention. It examines the evidence on the influence of various types of regulation on innovation. Based on a conceptual approach distinguishing between the positive incentive functions of regulations and the negative compliance burden, the study covers economic, social and institutional regulations. Existing empirical analyses are surveyed, which are characterised by rather heterogeneous methodological approaches, data bases and results. In summary, the numerous empirical studies on the impact of different types of regulation on innovation present a rather heterogeneous picture both regarding the type of regulation, the sectors, the companies and the time horizon of the impacts. Finally, it has to be noted that most quantitative studies about the impact of regulations are not able to distinguish between the influence of changes in the legislation and of their enforcement and the related compliance of companies. Research gaps still exist in the development of appropriate indicators of the regulatory framework. Furthermore, the processes within companies to react to regulations deserve more attention to understand the rather heterogeneous impacts on innovations. Finally, regulations are per se not only exogenous to companies, but often there is close interaction between regulators and the regulated companies, which should further explain some of the existing ambivalence. -

How Are Radical Innovations Developed? an Analytical Framework to Examine Radical Innovations Based on the Values of Cohesion Approach
Paper to be presented at the DRUID 2012 on June 19 to June 21 at CBS, Copenhagen, Denmark, How are radical innovations developed? An analytical framework to examine radical innovations based on the Values of Cohesion approach. LUCIA HELENA H. T. VIEGAS Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos - FINEP The Brazilian Agency of Innovation [email protected] JOSÉ VITOR BOMTEMPO Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro Escola de Química, Área de Gestão e Inovação Tecnológi [email protected] Abstract Our research proposes an analytical framework to examine radical innovations in the Kuhnian sense, based on the comprehension of the values of cohesion of a paradigm. We define radical innovation as the resultant of both a mode of production as a systemic conformation, and an institutional mode. Our research complements existing systemic studies on radical innovations, but under a different vision. Our approach takes into account the structural dimension that maintains a paradigm cohesive. The proposed framework is grounded on the structuralist approach, typical of studies of Human/Social Sciences (e.g., the works of Cl. Lévi-Strauss, F. de Saussure, W. Dilthey). This perspective enables the study of those factors that are manifested as a virtuality: as a belief, an ideological symbol, a cultural value, etc. Our framework was conceived to capture the virtualities, which express the conditions for the development of radical innovations. The proposed analytical framework based on values of cohesion - VCF is constituted of three analytical dimensions: the wheel of relationships, the force of cohesion, and the steps of transmission. The proposed VCF was validated to examine the potential for radical innovation in the change of raw materials sources for the Brazilian chemical industry, from fossils to renewables. -

Box 35, FI-40014, Jyväskylä, Finland ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Digitalization gives micro-enterprises and rural areas new possibilities and it can support their competitiveness. Urban-rural digital divide In this paper, we have presented one way of supporting the diffusion and adoption of digital innovations in rural Digitalization micro-enterprises. First, we examined the challenges and digital competence of the micro-enterprises in the rural Digital innovation areas of Central Finland to better understand what they needed. The second step was to develop a workshop Innovation diffusion concept. Theories of innovation diffusion and adoption were used as a base for these workshops. The laststep Innovation adoption was to evaluate the developed concept, its effects and challenges. We found that the workshop concept worked well for spreading information, for encouraging a positive attitude towards digital innovations, and for planning the use of innovations. Important factors in order for this concept to work were trust, communication, and changing the roles of agents and opinion leaders. 1. Introduction et al., 2017) and Townsend et al.

Explaining Successful Radical Innovations with Effectuation
XXVIe Conférence Internationale de Management Stratégique Explaining Successful Radical Innovations with Effectuation Buisson, Bernard IMT Dubai [email protected] Daidj, Nabyla Télécom Ecole de Management (Institut Mines Télécom) [email protected] Résumé : Nous suggérons que les innovations disruptives sont une catégorie particulière des innovations qui rencontrent un important succès commercial. La théorie de la disruption s'applique à des situations très particulières. Les entreprises qui construiraient l'intégralité de leur politique d'innovation autour de la théorie de la disruption prendraient un risque considérable. Il serait préférable qu'elles s'attachent à comprendre de quoi est faite une innovation qui connait un succès commercial important, et comment il est possible d'y arriver. Les innovations qui débouchent sur un succès commercial important résultent d'une combinaison de plusieurs changements majeurs, qui ne sont pas mis en œuvre simultanément. Les entreprises, qu'il s'agisse de start-ups ou d'acteurs établis, doivent progresser selon une logique d'essai-erreur caractéristique d'une logique effectuale, jusqu'à ce qu'elles atteignent, parfois après plusieurs années, la combinaison idéale. Mots-clés : Disruption, innovation radicale, acteur établi, anomalie 1 Lyon, 7-9 juin 2017 XXVIe Conférence Internationale de Management Stratégique Explaining Successful Radical Innovations with Effectuation INTRODUCTION The management of innovation is one of the most demanding challenges today (Dodgson, Gann, and Salter 2008). The external environment characterized by globalization, convergence, competitive/market uncertainty, time-to-market pressure, shortening product lifecycles is also based on knowledge, information, fast-changing technology and innovative economy. In the recent few years a series of innovations and trends have changed the way people perceive technology. -
