Over Time

This paper aims to understand about how uncertainty emerges in the innovation process. Since uncertainty is embedded in the innovation process, to understand how uncertainty emerges in the process one needs to understand how innovation process unfolds over time. Since an innovation process involves various resource recombination activities occurring in several phases, to understand how innovation process unfolds one needs understand “how do various resource recombination activities occur over time for the creation of novelty?” This knowledge would enable us to understand the conditions under which vital activities of resource recombination can/cannot be undertaken and coordinated as well as would allow us to understand the underlying decisions made by the innovators for their efficient undertaking and coordination. This paper investigates the innovation process in two companies through performing qualitative study. The innovation processes are analysed in the light of a conceptual model developed based on the Dubois’ (1994) End-product related activity structure model, Håkansson’s (1987) “ARA model” and Goldratt’s (1997) “Critical chain concept”. The findings suggest that uncertainty emerges in the innovation process in a cycle of interaction with resource void, activity void and actors’ limited cognition due to lack of knowledge, undue optimism, and rationally justified reason for disregarding information. Accordingly, a great deal of compromises is made while undertaking the activities.

The increased attention to the theoretical issues of activation of innovation processes in the industrial sector is caused by various factors of influence, and primarily by the elimination of the technological gap between Russia and developed foreign industrial countries. To solve this problem, the author suggests focusing the priorities of innovation activity on the activation of high-tech industries. It is shown that domestic enterprises have come close to intensifying the search, development and implementation of the latest technologies, and activation of innovative activities. According to the author, the innovative activity of industrial enterprises primarily depends on the structure of production, enterprise management and organization of innovative activities.

The article is devoted to the introduction of innovative technologies in the agro-industrial complex, which is considered one of the most promising economic directions of the country's development. Digital technologies for Russian agribusiness are new and not widespread enough. However, you should pay attention to the fact that innovation processes in this industry have their own specifics. Because of this, the study of the development of the agro-industrial sector of the economy based on the innovative activity of agricultural organizations, that is, the study of the level of intensity of the implementation of innovative processes (innovation activity), is of great importance. The coronavirus factor, in turn, gave an additional impetus to the development of innovative technologies in agriculture. Agrarians from all over the world have begun to use instant messengers, specialized platforms and other digital solutions more actively.

A Current

Industry 4.0 designates the recent digital revolution in the industrial sector, evolving from the comprehensive networking and automation of all the productive areas. Equipment, machinery, materials and products permit to (i) distinguish dealing out environmental settings and current status via sensors; (ii) join them through fixed software; and (iii) progress production procedures in an exclusive method. Additionally, Industry 4.0 exposes new trials to enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Firms should advance approaches to (i) achieve chances of innovation and digitalization; (ii) expand their processes; and (iii) define innovative business models. Based on these premises, a well-organized political, legal and infrastructural outline is essential to build up a business having an Industry 4.0 approach. Though bigger firms can get ahead through innovation processes and predicting the potential digitalization risks for their business models, SMEs may be in trouble. The present editorial aims to offer relevant research outcomes that has been carried out on such a current and emblematic theme, offering new perspectives and opportunities especially for SMEs.

In this chapter we focus on a new research area, Living Lab that introduces new ways of managing innovation processes. A Living Lab can be viewed as both an innovation milieu and an innovation approach, and the aim of this chapter is to clarify these two perspectives, as well as to illustrate how they can enrich each other. This is done by presenting one Living Lab milieu, Botnia Living Lab, and its key components; and one Living Lab approach, FormIT, and its key principles. The presentation is done on two levels, one general level and one case specific level. The case focuses on involving citizens in the design of an e-service aimed to increase their influence in a municipality and its development. Through this we learnt that the key components of a Living Lab constitutes important structures that enhance the process and as such the principles.

The Impact

The introduction of the six capitals models in integrated reporting brought about more disclosure in corporate reports for the benefit of the stakeholders. As an extension of the study done on the application of these capitals by the companies listed on the Zimbabwean stock exchange, this study is an investigation into the impact of industrial sector on the application of the six capitals model in integrated reporting. The study is a qualitative study that uses content analysis. The study is intended to benefit the preparers of financial reports, investors, and other stakeholders. The results showed that, the 13 sectors represented by the 20 companies reported on financial and manufactured capital. Financial, manufactured, and human capitals were the most reported capitals respectively while the lowly reported capitals were social and relationship, natural, and intellectual capital. Further analysis of data revealed that industrial sector did not only have an influence on the application of the six capitals, but had an influence on the kind of capital the sector reported the most. Recommendations are then made for the six capitals to be promoted across all industrial sectors through seminars.
