Green innovation ecosystem evolution: Diffusion of positive green innovation game strategies on complex networks J. Innov. Knowl. (IF 15.6) Pub Date : 2024-05-27 Ren-Jie Zhang, Hsing-Wei Tai, Zheng-Xu Cao, Chia-Chen Wei, Kuo-Tai Cheng
The essence of the evolution of the green innovation ecosystem is the process by which the positive strategy of green innovation spreads in a complex network. In this study, the "Object-Technology-Environment-Management-Culture (OETMC)" structure paradigm of innovation ecosystems is presented, and a causal analysis framework of green innovation ecosystem evolution based on green innovation behavior

Driving new product development performance: Intellectual capital antecedents and the moderating role of innovation culture J. Innov. Knowl. (IF 15.6) Pub Date : 2024-05-22 Gholamhossein Mehralian, Mandana Farzaneh, Nazila Yousefi, Radi Haloub
As the expenses associated with new product development (NPD) continue to rise, intellectual capital (IC) plays a critical yet understudied role in influencing NPD performance (NPDP). To address this, we present a comprehensive theoretical framework to empirically analyze how IC provides pharmaceutical companies with essential capabilities to enhance NPDP through the perspective of organizational learning
