| Abstract: | Our study explores the factors influencing the creation and closure of firms in urban micro-spaces, highlighting the relationship between Knowledge-Intensive Business Services (KIBS) and non-KIBS sectors. Employing 2007-2019 firm-level data from Warsaw, the capital of Poland, we uncover overlooked micro-geographical and sectoral patterns. We reveal spatial and sectoral interdependencies, highlighting the cross-sectoral effects of density and age of incumbent firms on new firm creation and closure. Our findings highlight the potential of policies supporting KIBS to generate positive multiplier effects, cultivating entrepreneurial ecosystems while accounting for micro-geographical contexts. |

| Abstract: | The downstream petroleum sector plays a critical role in the economic development of emerging economies by providing energy, employment, and opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). However, various external factors, including regulatory frameworks, market volatility, and technological advancements, significantly impact the operational efficiency of SMEs in this sector. This paper explores how these external challenges affect SMEs, particularly those owned by Historically Disadvantaged Individuals (HDIs), in the petroleum industries of emerging markets. Focusing on the South African context, the paper examines global and African perspectives on operational efficiency, with case studies from Ghana, Nigeria, and Kenya. It highlights the importance of infrastructure development, local capacity building, and regulatory reforms in enhancing operational efficiency. Additionally, technological advancements such as automation and data analytics are explored as potential tools for improving SMEs’ performance. The paper concludes by offering practical recommendations for overcoming these challenges, including streamlining regulatory processes, promoting technological adoption, and fostering inclusive business models. By addressing these external factors, SMEs in the downstream petroleum sector can improve their competitiveness, contribute to economic transformation, and meet the growing energy demands of emerging economies. |

| Abstract: | VC investment has undergone a substantial transition, particularly in emerging countries, where there is a growing entrepreneurial culture. Southeast Asia (SEA) has emerged as an image of trust due to its remarkable accomplishments in venture capital funding. Notwithstanding, the VC success rate is quite low, with up to 75 percent of venture-backed businesses failing to return cash to their investors and 30 to 40 percent of those 75 percent liquidating their assets, resulting in their investors losing their entire investment (Ghosh, 2012). In light of this context, this study sets out to investigate the behavior of venture capital firms in Southeast Asia and the complex decision-making processes involved. This research aims to enhance the success rate of VC firms and contribute to the advancement of VC literature by precisely identifying the relevant parameter. This study seeks to analyze the complex landscape of venture capital activities in a highly dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystem, using the complete framework created by Gompers et al. (2023). A case study, a widely recognized method in exploratory research, is used as the primary methodology to reveal novel themes and insights obtained from respondents in venture capital firms. Using a semi-structured interview, this study implies that VC fund structure and strategy, start-up screening criteria, start-up valuation, exit, and risk management have a significant effect on determining SEA VC firm investment decisions. This study is one of the first efforts to utilize Gompers et al.'s (2023) framework in the specific setting of Southeast Asia. This study contributes to the current research on venture capital decision-making by providing innovative measurement parameters, with a particular emphasis on the notion of "runway." These features, which relate to a startup's expenditure rate and its long-term viability offer a broader understanding of the financial factors that impact investments made by SEA VC companies. |

| Abstract: | Understanding how e-commerce platforms are affecting the small, informal firms that sell on them is a question of growing importance to researchers and policy makers in developing countries. This paper examines this question using data from surveys of firms selling on two e-commerce platforms in South Asia. The businesses selling on these platforms range widely in terms of size, degree of formalization, and other characteristics. However, these firms -- even the micro and small ones, which tend to be informal -- are from a selected group, being owned and managed by individuals who are more educated and younger than the owners and managers of more typical firms in this setting. The sellers' main reason for joining the platforms is to access more customers. Most of the sellers report an expansion of their business after joining the platforms. They also report an increase in their incentive to register their business and their visibility to tax authorities. Other, less widespread channels of impact reported by the firms include the adoption of new or improved business practices and technologies, better access to finance, and greater flexibility in balancing home and work life. In general, these reported impacts do not vary significantly by firm size or degree of formalization, suggesting that even informal, small firms that have (selectively) joined e-commerce platforms can benefit from the greater market access facilitated by the platforms. Finally, given size and age, firms that have been selling on the platform for a longer period are more likely to experience these impacts, suggesting that firms learn how to use the platform more effectively over time. |

| Abstract: | A randomized experiment in Togo found that personal initiative training for small businesses resulted in large and significant impacts for both men and women after two years. We revisit these entrepreneurs after seven years, and find long-lasting average impacts of personal initiative training of $91 higher profits per month, which is larger than the 2-year impacts. However, these long-term impacts are very different for men and women: the impact for men grows over time as they accumulate more capital and increase self-efficacy, whereas the impact for women is flat or declines, and capital build-up is much more limited. |

| Abstract: | The marketing departments of financial institutions strive to craft products and services that cater to the diverse needs of businesses of all sizes. However, it is evident upon analysis that larger corporations often receive a more substantial portion of available funds. This disparity arises from the relative ease of assessing the risk of default and bankruptcy in these more prominent companies. Historically, risk analysis studies have focused on data from publicly traded or stock exchange-listed companies, leaving a gap in knowledge about small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Addressing this gap, this study introduces a method for evaluating SMEs by generating images for processing via a convolutional neural network (CNN). To this end, more than 10, 000 images, one for each company in the sample, were created to identify scenarios in which the CNN can operate with higher assertiveness and reduced training error probability. The findings demonstrate a significant predictive capacity, achieving 97.8% accuracy, when a substantial number of images are utilized. Moreover, the image creation method paves the way for potential applications of this technique in various sectors and for different analytical purposes. |

| Abstract: | This paper explores the transformative impact of Generative AI (GenAI) on the business landscape, examining its role in reshaping traditional business models, intensifying market competition, and fostering innovation. By applying the principles of Neo-Schumpeterian economics, the research analyses how GenAI is driving a new wave of "creative destruction, " leading to the emergence of novel business paradigms and value propositions. This research incorporates a novel AI-augmented SPAR-4-SLR framework as a key component, offering a systematic and innovative approach to analysing the rapidly evolving GenAI domain. By leveraging co-occurrence network analysis and LLM-based evaluation, this methodology identifies interdisciplinary trends and highlights diverse applications of GenAI. Beyond this, the study extends its scope to explore insights from internet-scraped data, Twitter analytics, and company reports, providing a comprehensive understanding of how GenAI is transforming businesses. This multi-faceted approach underscores GenAI's profound impact across industries such as technology, healthcare, and education, revealing its role in enhancing operational efficiency, driving product and service innovation, and creating new revenue streams. However, the deployment of GenAI also presents significant challenges, including ethical concerns, regulatory demands, and the risk of job displacement. By addressing the multifarious nature of GenAI, this paper provides valuable insights for business leaders, policymakers, and researchers, guiding them towards a balanced and responsible integration of this transformative technology. Ultimately, GenAI is not merely a technological advancement but a driver of profound change, heralding a future where creativity, efficiency, and growth are redefined. |

| Abstract: | Using firm-level data from the recently available Tanzania Enterprise Survey (TES) 2022, this paper provides empirical analysis of drivers of firm participation in global value chains (GVCs), and implication of such participation on firm performance in Tanzania. The findings show that, firm size, awareness of external markets, investment in Research and Development (RandD), and engagement in innovation and technology upgrading are significant drivers of firm participation in GVCs for Tanzania. The paper confirms the widely acclaimed conclusions in the literature that firm participation in GVCs is positively and significantly associated with higher firm performance. However, despite the positive role of GVC, the extent of firm participation appears low for Tanzania, mainly on account of low level of capacity of often small and informal firms. The findings underscore the need to increase government's efforts to improve environment and incentive for small firms to formalize and grow. The results are also supportive of the need for policy to promote regional integration, investment in RandD, innovation, and technology upgrading. |

| Abstract: | Youth-owned micro, small, and medium businesses face various constraints while accessing financial services in Uganda. Various stakeholders have assisted these enterprises in accessing finance at better conditions but their non- financial performance has continued to deteriorate. This study tried to investigate the effect of access to financial services on non-financial performance of youth-owned MSMEs in Mukono district, Uganda. Specific objectives included effect of bank, branch network, financial information, loan accessibility and financial technology on non-financial performance of youth-owned micro, small and medium enterprises. The study's guiding theories were the resource-based view, dynamic capability, and innovation of entrepreneurship theories. A positivism research philosophy and explanatory research design were used. The target population was 3717 registered MSMEs. A sample size of 400 was obtained using both stratified and simple random sampling methods. Primary data was collected using questionnaires, analyzed using multiple regression analysis. The study's findings revealed that financial information, bank branch networks, loan accessibility, and financial technology had a positive and significant effect non-financial performance of youth-owned MSMEs. The study concluded that access to financial services is critical to non-financial performance of youth-owned MSMEs in Mukono district, Uganda. The study recommends that youth-owned MSMEs should first gather reliable information about operations of financial service providers to avoid being charged hefty penalties and interests, branch expansion to provide greater supply of credit in order to improve the non-financial performance of youth-owned MSMEs. The study further recommends that financial institutions should reduce collateral requirements in order to increase micro-credit loan uptake by the youth who own MSMEs. |

| Abstract: | Given the competitive and dynamic nature of the hospitality sector, understanding factors affecting employee retention is vital for success. This paper explores family business dynamics, by addressing the employees’ justice perceptions, turnover intentions, and resilience levels in the hotel industry. Our findings from 205 Portuguese employees challenge the belief that employees working in family firms have higher organizational justice perceptions. However, employees in family firms exhibit lower turnover intentions and higher resilience than those in non-family companies. Additionally, in family firms, organizational justice perceptions negatively correlate with turnover intentions, with employees’ resilience mediating this relationship. |

| Abstract: | In an era of rapid technological advancements, complex global challenges, and intense market competition, the ability to generate and scale innovative solutions has become a critical imperative for organizations, policymakers, and societies worldwide. However, the existing academic landscape has lacked a cohesive, multidisciplinary framework for comprehensively understanding the multifaceted nature of innovation. Innovationology, a newly established scientific discipline, aims to address this gap by providing a unifying, transdisciplinary approach to the study and practice of transformative innovation. This comprehensive article introduces Innovationology as a cutting-edge science that integrates insights from diverse fields, including management, psychology, sociology, economics, and technology studies. Innovationology posits that innovation is a multilayered, context-dependent phenomenon, shaped by the intricate interplay of individual, team, organizational, and ecosystem-level factors. By synthesizing the latest theoretical advancements and empirical evidence, this article presents a holistic model of Innovationology that illuminates the key determinants of radical, game-changing innovations capable of disrupting existing industries and creating new market spaces. The article delves deep into the individual cognitive, behavioral, and motivational drivers of innovativeness, the team dynamics and organizational structures that foster collaborative innovation, and the ecosystem-level characteristics that catalyze the emergence and scaling of transformative innovations. Importantly, the article explores the crucial role of contextual factors, such as socio-cultural norms, institutional support, and resource availability, in shaping innovation outcomes. This article also establishes the epistemological foundations of Innovationology, grounding it in a transdisciplinary, holistic, and pragmatic approach to knowledge generation. Innovationology embraces a pluralistic epistemology that acknowledges the complexity and context-dependence of innovation, drawing on diverse methodological approaches to capture the multifaceted nature of this phenomenon. Furthermore, the article outlines the object of Innovationology, which is to provide a comprehensive, evidence-based understanding of the drivers, processes, and outcomes of transformative innovation. Innovationology seeks to elucidate the multilevel determinants of innovation, the dynamic interplay between various factors, and the contextual influences that shape innovation trajectories. By establishing a unifying, transdisciplinary framework, Innovationology aims to bridge the gap between innovation theory and practice, empowering a wide range of stakeholders to unlock the transformative potential of innovation. Importantly, this article outlines the practical applications of Innovationology, providing comprehensive strategies and evidence-based interventions for cultivating innovative mindsets, designing innovation-conducive organizational systems, and navigating the challenges of innovative ecosystems. The implications of Innovationology for entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, policymakers, and innovation scholars are discussed in detail. By establishing Innovationology as a distinct, authoritative scientific discipline, this article sets the foundation for a more holistic, context-sensitive understanding of innovation and its multifaceted drivers. The insights generated by this new science can empower global organizations, institutions, and policymakers to address the complex, interconnected challenges of the 21st century through the strategic deployment of transformative innovations. |

| Abstract: | Following Bergeaud et al. (2022), we construct a new measure of proximity between industrial sectors and public research laboratories. Using this measure, we explore the underlying network of knowledge linkages between scientific fields and industrial sectors in France. We show empirically that there exists a significant negative correlation between the geographical distance between firms and laboratories and their scientific proximity, suggesting strongly localized spillovers. Moreover, we uncover some important differences by field, stronger than when using standard patent-based measures of proximity. |

| Abstract: | This article examines whether digital sobriety practices implemented by companies could act as a barrier to innovation. As investment in digital technology and equipment is a key factor in driving innovation, it is important to understand the implications of adopting more restrained digital practices on a company's innovation capabilities. To investigate this, we draw on a survey of 2, 875 companies in Brittany and Pays de la Loire. Our findings reveal that companies most committed to digital sobriety are also those that innovate the most in terms of processes and products, although the positive relationship is more significant for process innovations. Thus, implementing responsible practices, particularly in digital areas, is not an obstacle to innovation and may even help companies move toward more sustainable organizational models. |
| Abstract: | Cet article s'intéresse à la question de savoir si les actions de sobriété numérique mises en œuvre par les entreprises peuvent constituer ou non un frein à l'innovation. L'investissement dans les technologies et équipements numériques étant un facteur clé de l'innovation, il est important de comprendre les implications d'une plus grande sobriété numérique sur les capacités d'innovation des entreprises. Pour cela, nous mobilisons une enquête réalisée auprès de 2875 entreprises en Bretagne et Pays de la Loire. Nos résultats montrent que les entreprises les plus engagées dans des démarches de sobriété numérique sont aussi celles qui innovent le plus en procédé et en produit, même si la relation positive est plus significative pour les innovations de procédé. La mise en œuvre de pratiques responsables, notamment en matière de numérique, n'est donc pas un obstacle à l'innovation et peut même permettre aux entreprises d'aller vers des organisations plus durables.

| Abstract: | The purpose of this paper is to focus on the contribution of stakeholder engagement to Sustainable innovation (SI) within the context of sustainable food and agriculture context. It investigates whether engagement with different stakeholders promotes sustainable innovation. The empirical analysis is based on a distinctive single case study of sustainable-oriented ventures that successfully deliver sustainable impact within their SI. A qualitative study, which an abductive approach was performed in order to delve the stakeholder engagement and its relationship with the type of SI. We use multiple data sources. Primary data such as semi-unstructured interview with several representative innovating ventures. Then, secondary data from multiple sources gathered to acquire deeper knowledge and information to capture the retrospective data about SI journey and development process of the ventures. Result showed that proactive role in venture to engage with various and wider stakeholders is needed to foster the SI particularly in system-building SI. Moreover, sustainability-oriented innovation (SI) as a journey and its characteristics constitutes from on practices that constitute day-to-day SI activities, strategies, activities, and linkages that resulting SI output and outcome. Particularly, stakeholders are part of these linkages. The wider and various of stakeholders also its engagement in co-creation of SI is affecting the output and outcomes of its SI. This research extends the response to the lack of systematic knowledge about stakeholder collaboration in SI. This paper provides a fine-grain qualitative analysis, a single case study, and identifies several types of stakeholders with various roles in the SI. |

| Abstract: | Using a systemic approach, this article focuses on the deployment of a digital health innovation approach in the Grand-Est region, aimed at facilitating coordinated exchanges between patients and healthcare profes-sionals. The authors describe the challenges and impact of an action-research project involving a group of people working in new institutional professions dedicated to supporting this innovative approach. By exploring the expectations of those involved in the field, they highlight the dual role of technocracy and sense-making that is necessary for the deployment of innovation and its management by institutional stakeholders on such a large scale. A discussion of these elements will make it possible, on the one hand, to identify several obstacles to the stabilization and optimization of this dual steering and its potential effects on the care system, and on the other hand, to suggest some measures that could be taken to minimize these obstacles. |
| Abstract: | Utilisant une approche systémique, l'article porte sur le déploiement d'une démarche d'innovation numérique en santé à l'échelle de la région Grand-Est, visant à faciliter l'échange décloisonné et la coordination de parcours entre les patients et les acteurs de la santé et des soins. Les auteurs décrivent les enjeux et l'impact d'un dispositif de recherche-action impliquant un groupe de personnes exerçant de nouveaux métiers institutionnels dédiés à l'accompagnement de cette démarche d'innovation. L'exploration des attentes des acteurs de terrain met en évidence un double pilotage, technocratique et par le sens, nécessaire à une telle échelle, tant pour le déploiement de l'innovation que pour son pilotage par les acteurs institutionnels. Une discussion de ces éléments permettra d'une part d'identifier plusieurs freins à la stabilisation et l'optimisation de ce double pilotage et de ses effets potentiels sur le système de soins, et d'autre part, quelques pistes d'actions à entreprendre pour minimiser ces freins. |

| Abstract: | In the search for innovative solutions, organizations are increasingly turning to innovation crowdsourcing platforms to access a large pool of diverse talent. This talent can provide solutions to complex problems that may be outside the organization's traditional scope of expertise. However, a challenge arises: designing mechanisms that foster trust and sustained participation without relying solely on guaranteed contracts, salaries, or rewards. In addition, the question arises as to whether it is more beneficial to integrate this crowd into the business model directly or whether it is preferable to use an intermediary to gain temporary access to this resource. In our research, we explore the design and governance factors that influence the value creation of these platforms. We do so through a systematic literature review, which allows us to identify the boundary resources that have been most frequently addressed in previous studies and discuss the opportunities and implications of their application. |
