Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Barriers to technology acceptance faced by PropTech startups   Order a copy of this article
    by Juan Ocampo 
    Abstract: Real estate (RE) is grappling with digital transformation. Although property technology (PropTech) start-ups are generating process innovations that offer novel solutions to current RE problems, they are hampered by the slowness of RE's technology acceptance. Classical technology acceptance theory can explain the adoption of specific technologies but the diversity of PropTech requires an additional perspective or extension to current theory. To identify the barriers PropTech start-ups face in RE, we interviewed 15 founders about the challenges and experiences of working with customers. We identified three aggregate dimensions: customer barriers, provider barriers, and external ecosystem barriers. Our findings contribute to technology acceptance theory by extending Davis's (1989) TAM with additional barriers that are relevant to the adoption of PropTech. Our extended model depicts barriers as elements that influence technology acceptance. The paper concludes by identifying further research areas.
    Keywords: technology acceptance; PropTech; start-ups; barriers; real estate.

  • The effects of exploration and exploitation on stock price movement: the moderating effect of firm size and market condition   Order a copy of this article
    by Gun Jea Yu, Kihoon Hong 
    Abstract: This research delved into the intricate relationship between exploration, exploitation, and stock price movements. Our investigation also extended to examining how firm size (an internal factor) and stock market condition (an external factor) exerted their moderating influences. Drawing from a comprehensive dataset of 15,984 firm-year observations across diverse industries, our findings unveiled a nuanced picture. Specifically, we observed a negative stock price response to exploration, contrasting with a positive response to exploitation. Interestingly, the interplay of firm size and market condition yielded significant moderation effects, highlighting the amplified positive stock price response to exploitation in the context of larger firms and favourable market returns. Further scrutiny revealed a compelling insight: firms' decisions concerning innovative initiatives were predominantly driven by their quest for long-term performance, rather than solely catering to investors' interests. As a result, our study underscores the importance of a holistic perspective, incorporating external tensions, for a comprehensive grasp of the delicate balance between exploration and exploitation.
    Keywords: exploration and exploitation; stock price movement; patents; moderating effect.

  • Understanding innovation spaces: a topic modelling approach   Order a copy of this article
    by Jose Montes, Aglaya Batz, David F. D. Croz Baron 
    Abstract: Actors within the triple helix model have increasingly recognised innovation spaces as highly conducive environments for expediting innovative practices. However, the landscape of innovation spaces manifests in diverse typologies, encompassing Makerspaces, Hackerspaces, FabLabs, Innovation Labs, Innovation Centres, Idea Labs, Social Innovation Labs, and STEAM Labs. Hence, we seek to address the question, what do these innovation spaces have in common? Leveraging web scraping, semantic analysis, and topic modelling techniques, we scrutinise the primary content extracted from 181 distinct innovation space websites. These digital repositories harbour valuable information delineating their offerings, communication channels, resources, and objectives, thereby facilitating a comprehensive understanding of their organisational framework and configuration. Our analysis unveils 13 distinct thematic clusters derived from the aggregated information across these innovation space websites. These thematic clusters, exhibiting notable similarities, are categorised into three overarching macro-themes: 1) emphasis on educational initiatives; 2) utilisation and provision of digital manufacturing resources; 3) robust community building strategies.
    Keywords: innovation spaces; web scraping; education; digital manufacturing; community building; topic modelling.
