Recent technological developments and social media have opened up a multitude of opportunities for farmers and agricultural companies to communicate with their customers and marketers. Especially in the EU agri-food sector, smart use of knowledge, research and innovation is the main source of productivity growth. A new digital innovation hub in Precision Agriculture can drive the digital transformation of Europe's agro-food sector, boosting innovation and growth. Moreover, this hub could also play an important role in the exploitation of opinion leadership in agricultural technology and productivity.

Multiple Case

The article identifies how Research and Development (R&D) collaborations in startups can influence digital innovation in Brazilian manufactures. A qualitative multiple case study was performed with startups incubated at the Federation of Industries of Paraná (FIEP), through semi-structured interviews to the Chief Executive Officer (CEOs) and case document’s, applying the content analysis. The results indicate that the sources of knowledge of the startups and the collaboration with companies, universities, government development agencies and incubators, characterize the actions in the ecosystem of open innovation. It has been found that the complexity of the innovation ecosystem of startups is a strategic asset, and the nature of the collaborations is informal, coupled with a stage of maturity considered low in startups. This study contributes to highlight the nature, dynamics and progress of startup collaborations in the development of digital transformation, and the challenges for the leverage of Industry 4.0 in Brazil.

Industry 4.0 is reshaping the way all the economic sectors are working. The complete adoption and understanding by the companies, large or small, of the digital transformation opportunities and benefits, requires the existence of effective instruments. The Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs) are an important instrument, strongly promoted by the European Commission, to help companies to take advantage of digital opportunities. Aiming to boost and create synergies between several DIHs and research centers located in the northern region of Portugal and Spain, and considering the disruptive ICT technologies, the establishment of an inter-regional DIH that results from the cooperation between these entities assumes a crucial importance to transform this region into an innovative pole of reference. This paper aims to describe the strategy for the management and improvement of the quality of the innovation being developed by this inter-regional DIH under the scope of the DISRUPTIVE project. Besides considering the individual strategies of the associated members, it includes cooperative aspects, regarding the sharing of knowledge, technology, and skills, aiming to improve the quality of innovation, as well as the adoption of digitization by the companies in this region.

Purpose This study aims to understand if and how European digital innovation hubs (DIHs) filling the role of knowledge brokers (KBs) can support the digital transformation (DX) of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by triggering open innovation (OI) practices. Design/methodology/approach After presenting a conceptual model of reference, a survey and a subsequent in-depth interview were conducted to capture evidence from Italian DIHs. These structures were selected for their growing importance, as confirmed by the National Plan for Industry 4.0. Findings The findings highlight that Italian DIHs act not only as KBs but also as knowledge sources that give rise to a digital imprinting process that is able to shape the DX of SMEs. Originality/value Research on knowledge sharing and OI has mainly focused on large firms. The study covers the gaps identified in the literature by considering the role of KBs in enabling SMEs to embrace DX.

The studies are devoted to the transformational processes associated with digitalization, which takes place in the Ukrainian economy. Economic development is impossible without widespread introduction and full use of the digital technologies. The rate of digital innovation is growing every year. The transformation of the landscape of interpersonal connections and economic relations leads to the digitalization of the operational processes and the change in business models, which generally results in large-scale digital transformation of companies. Meanwhile, it should be noted that the digitization and transformation processes of business models, taking place mainly at the level of private and state enterprises, are expanding to the level of government and have a significant impact on the competitiveness of the economy. Today, there is a significant number of projects of digital transformation in Ukraine. The general idea is to create a unified digital communication system. It is nice to note that not only private companies but also state structures have joined this system, which testifies to their interest in self-development and the desire to keep up with the modern technologies, focusing on clients.

Chief Digital Officer

Purpose In 2017, companies woke up to realize that they were in the process of being disintermediated by West Coast technology players, from Google, Uber and Amazon to Facebook and Apple. Boardroom conversations were all about the need to make a play in technology, and CEOs, CHROs and heads of Talent all began recruiting Chief Digital Officers. However, newly minted Chief Digital Officers have found themselves in new, often strange, and overly ornamental and nonfunctional environments. This paper aims to discuss how to set a Chief Digital Officer up for success. Design/methodology/approach This paper presents interviews with over 100 senior Digital and Workforce Technology executives. Findings The emergence of the Chief Digital Officer is fast tracking the evolution of old industries as they compete in a tech-first world. However, without creating a proper support function, many CEOs, CHROs and Heads of Talent will find themselves cleaning up a mess rather than basking in the sun of a digital transformation. Being able to spot what type of workplace IT executive fits your company, along with having the right expectations and support in place for them to be successful, will allow you to have happy, more engaged and more productive employees for years to come. Originality/value If you plan to operate in a world of digital innovation and in the process hire a Chief Digital Officer, here are the things you need to know to ensure this executive’s success.

To revamp with new creative age characterized by ongoing digital transformation, more and more industries are capitalizing on digital innovation for their sustainable business growth. Drawing on a systematic literature review, thematic analysis, and using the theories of dynamic capabilities and market orientation, this research scrutinizes a systematic process for developing analytics-based data-driven innovation (DDI). Findings suggest a standardized seven-step process for DDI, including product conceptualization, data acquisition, data refinement, data storage and retrieval, distribution, presentation, and market feedback.
