Perceived value of participating in SMEs' open idea-generation activities: an individual actor perspective
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=136377
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) implement various open innovation (OI) activities. Research on the value derived from OI has focused on the organisational view; however, since the perception of value is actor-specific, research should be conducted on the level of individual actors. This study transfers the concept of perceived value from marketing literature as a means of analysing individual actors' perspectives on the value attributed to participation in SMEs' open idea-generation activities. The study participants comprised two case SMEs with ten internal and external individual actors who were involved in idea-generation activities initiated by both a single SME and jointly by two SMEs. The study demonstrates that the value perceived by individual actors in open idea-generation activities is multifaceted, with excellence value and emotional value being the most prevalent categories. Four propositions are developed to describe the perceived value of participation in open idea-generation activities of SMEs as a foundation for future research.

High digital growth: essential capabilities and the research agenda
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=136398
High-growth companies are pivotal in driving economic development. This study delves into the essential capabilities required for robust digital growth. A comprehensive literature review was undertaken to assess the current state of this field, culminating in a summary table outlining the core capabilities identified. This table contributes to the field and provides a research agenda for high-growth digital businesses. The findings suggest that companies must cultivate these capabilities to navigate the challenges at each growth stage, adapting to each new level of maturity and scale. We have pinpointed 28 core capabilities within a unique framework, considering the stage (startup, growth, or expansion) and resources (strategy, fundraising, governance and management, innovation, and human capital). Given the evolving and progressive nature of capabilities, digital entrepreneurship promotion should consider the specificities and challenges of each stage. Additionally, we have proposed four new research questions to guide future studies in high-growth entrepreneurship.

Fostering collaborative interactions between universities and industry for technology transfer
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=136397
The diffusion of technology and licensing agreements between universities and industry impacts the application of research results, creating wealth and opportunities for those involved in technology transfer processes. University technology transfer offices (TTOs) work with researchers and businesses to bring new technologies to market. Data was collected through a semi-structured survey to gain a deeper understanding of the interactions and factors that contribute to licensing agreements in Portuguese university TTOs. The most frequent interactions were identified, including meetings with researchers to explore the innovation potential of their work, discussions with companies to develop new projects, contacts with companies known by researchers, and researchers' connections with R&D professionals from companies, which are decisive to securing licensing agreements. The results were analysed using a descriptive and inferential testing approach, using the Wilcoxon text, offering insights into the interactions leading to successful technology transfer agreements.

Leveraging bricolage for innovation: exploring the potential of entrepreneurial orientation in hostile business environments
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=136396
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a pivotal role in both global and developing economies, yet they grapple with significant resource limitations and challenging environments. The lack of innovation and entrepreneurial focus among SMEs has heightened their failure rates. Addressing this gap, our study explores 'bricolage' - the practice of making the most of available resources - as a solution for SMEs confronting innovation crises in emerging contexts. Drawing on resource-based perspectives and dynamic capabilities, data from 383 SMEs were used to analyse bricolage's impact on innovation performance. It delves into the interplay between bricolage, dynamic capabilities, entrepreneurial orientation, and innovation. The findings reveal that bricolage positively influences innovation, amplified by entrepreneurial orientation and mediated by dynamic capabilities. These results underscore bricolage's significance in leveraging limited resources for innovative outcomes. The study offers valuable insights for both theory and practical application, emphasising how firms excel by creatively utilising existing resources amid constraints.

The effects of R&D investment and duality of knowledge search on innovation performance: network capability as the mediator
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=136399
The economic growth of enterprises, industries, and entire nations hinges significantly on innovation, where research and development (R&D) investment, knowledge acquisition, and network capability play pivotal roles. Utilising the input-output analysis framework, we gathered 448 questionnaires to serve as our primary data source for conducting a structural equation model analysis. The results of our study reveal that R&D investment indirectly and positively influences innovation performance through the development of network construction capabilities. Knowledge search, both in terms of its extent and breadth, directly and indirectly enhances innovation performance via network capability, encompassing management and construction. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that network capability, particularly in terms of management and construction, has a direct and positive impact on innovation performance. These findings offer both theoretical insights and practical contributions.
