I developed a conceptual framework linking DC and firm performance based on extensive review of literature. Data on the observed variable from 403 respondents were analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM) in AMOS. The study established a strong relationship between transforming capability and innovation, customer and financial performance. The study highlights the perspective of firm performance and DC for SMM. It also brought out the structural aspects of the associated aspects. Journal: Int.

The authors conducted a survey with a sample of 135 incubator managers in Italy. Spearman's correlation was used to examine the relationship between technological innovation capabilities and the performance of digital entrepreneurship. The main finding of the results is that most technological innovation capabilities have a positive effect on the creation and capture of value, but are of little significance for proposition. The findings of this research suggest that incubator managers should focus their efforts mainly on the capabilities that most increase the proposal, the creation and the capture of value. Finally, we offer implications for management theory and practice. Journal: Int.

However, there are no clear management guidelines, nor any overview of the different gamification approaches that will help organisations to facilitate values-based innovation and to successfully address cultural challenges through gamification. This paper explores this new field through a review of the literature and gathering managerial insights from 26 in-depth interviews with innovation managers from European companies. Based on the findings, we synthesise knowledge and formulate management guidelines for designing and implementing gamification processes to foster values-based innovation cultures within organisations. Our findings reveal the potential for the gamification of innovation and outline pathways for future research on the gamification of values-based innovation and organisational culture development.

Such research, however, is often limited to the direct relationship between culture and innovation without highlighting the role of indirect links through various socioeconomic factors. In this paper, we investigate both direct and indirect links between culture and innovation, proxied by the innovation output sub-index, using path analysis models and four sets of cultural dimensions: Minkov et al. (2017, 2018), Inglehart (1997), Inglehart and Welzel (2005), Beugelsdijk and Welzel (2018) and Kaasa and Minkov (2022). We find that aspects of governance and R&D investments play a significant role as mediators between culture and innovation. Our findings also indicate that the indirect effect of culture on innovation is stronger than the direct effect for all sets of cultural dimensions. Journal: Int.

The research investigates the relationship between business models, opportunities, performance, and how firms adapt in the face of external market opportunities or threats. Through a multiple-case analysis, the study reveals that traditional fitness centres adapt their business models by focusing on creativity, innovation, and digital transformation to maintain customer relationships and identify alternative income sources. The research contributes to the literature on entrepreneurship, adaptability, and resilience by examining the fitness industry's response to the pandemic and emphasises the strategic value of digital transformation. The study offers practical implications for practitioners, suggesting that firms should adopt a dynamic attitude, invest in creating and maintaining networks, actively engage with web and social platforms, and collaborate with local actors to face challenges and stay competitive in the market.

The rationale of the study is that SME growth and development is still a problematic issue despite years of government support and incentives. The article seeks to analyse changes with regards to government policy decisions, namely laws, incentives and innovation schemes provided to SMEs in the Mauritian context. The methodology used is the content analysis where reference is made to websites (SME support arm and institutions from 1993 onwards), secondary data, budget speech documents, Parliamentary Hansard documents and existing statistics for making appropriate analysis. The methodology is mostly qualitative and relies on extensive research on government reports and other research findings to consolidate a logical sequencing of the SME laws in the Mauritian context. The study is of great importance to the policymakers and the different stakeholders for understanding the importance of institutional support for SMEs for a small island economy such as Mauritius.

The research results indicate that in the biomedical industry based on developed-science innovation ecosystem, the development of the industry strongly depends on scientific research, and the innovation vitality is mainly concentrated at the university, scientific research institutes, and enterprises with R&D capabilities. This research provides a theoretical and practical significance for the breakthrough in national innovation from the perspective of the developed science-based innovation ecosystem. Journal: Int.

To describe the invention disclosure process and to gain knowledge about assessment practices to understand the invention, its market, potential for transfer, and accessibility to finance, Portuguese university TTOs were asked to provide information on their internal processes through a semi- structured survey. The most frequent practices have been identified, including, the analysis of all the technology applications, the assessment of the technology readiness level, patentability, strength of its claims, and protection costs; assessment of the extent of technology demand and potential licensees; and analysis of available sources of finance. The approach was essentially descriptive and exploratory to convey information on how to proceed to guide the initial evaluation that triggers the valorisation process. Journal: Int.

Going beyond trust, this study proposes the philosophical concept of recognition as a more complete theory of the nature of crowdfunding. Recognition, or the sphere of solidarity, emphasises the ongoing and reciprocal relationships of mutual respect that are central to how entrepreneurs derive value and project supporters derive meaning through crowdfunding. The paper relies on case studies to show the concept of recognition in action, demonstrating both the presence and the absence of recognition in crowdfunding campaigns. The paper contends that a theory of recognition provides a more accurate and holistic model for crowdfunding than trust alone. Journal: Int.

The purposive sampling technique was used to obtain data from 202 SMEs in Indonesia, statistically analysed using descriptive and multiple regression analyses. The results showed that financial literacy could moderate the effect of fintech on financial inclusion. Furthermore, fintech cannot improve financial performance, despite being moderated by financial literacy. Meanwhile, financial inclusion can improve financial performance, and subsequently, financial performance increases the business growth of SMEs. Implications of this study are that SMEs must improve financial literacy, and the government needs to improve regulations on financial literacy, fintech, and financial inclusion, especially for SMEs.

However, this specific knowledge is necessary if companies are to repeatedly exploit BMI's strategic and financial benefits. Therefore, this paper aims to reveal the internal antecedents by applying an in-depth qualitative research approach to the systematic BMI of all five German automotive manufacturers. The results show that systematic BMI is enabled through: 1) unified orientation; 2) dynamic orchestration; 3) flexible operations; 4) adjacent fields, which are underpinned by 16 distinct second-order themes. These findings significantly enhance the theoretical and managerial understanding of the enabling factors for BMI, and contribute unique empirical insights to the ongoing academic debate - particularly from the perspectives of dynamic capabilities and strategic agility.

Particularly during crises, the value of relationships is highlighted as scale-limited ventures can draw from their partners' resources to find opportunities for survival and renewal. Crises also shape ventures' collaboration opportunities by disrupting networks and changing ways of engagement. Yet, longitudinal research on the impact of crises on ventures' collaboration remains limited. In the current study, we combine pre and during-pandemic interviews with social media data from 14 packaged food and beverage ventures to explore the impact of the crisis on venture collaboration. The data illustrates four distinct approaches to collaboration during the pandemic, differing in terms of scope of collaborations, variety of different partner types, proportion of developmental collaborations, and engagement in collaboration due to or despite the crisis. The findings show that the crisis significantly shaped ventures' collaborations, which may shape their social capital beyond the crisis. Journal: Int.
