The current study provides a comprehensive analysis and integration of the literature on the social network correlates of individual innovation. Reviewing the extant literature, we cluster existing network measures into five general properties—size, strength, brokerage, closure, and diversity. Using meta-analysis, we estimate the population effect sizes between these network properties and inno...

The concepts and methods of the branches of epidemiology, particularly clinical epidemiology, likely have much to offer the discipline of theriogenology. As with theriogenology, epidemiologic methods evolve when technological innovation enables new approaches to old problems. The recent emergence from clinical epidemiology of the evidence-based medicine paradigm in human medicine and the associ...

In a classic article reviewing the field of planned change, Chin and Benne (1984) outlined three meta-approaches to the implementation of change in social and organizational contexts. These meta-theories of change – Rational-Empirical, Normative-Reeducative, and Power-Coercive – summarized the field of then-existing knowledge related to innovation at a systems level. Chin and Benne’s resulting ...

a r t i c l e i n f o This empirical study contributes to the extant literature by investigating the relations among market orientation, managerial ties and innovation simultaneously and interactively, from an Asian perspective. Our findings reveal that customer orientation and interfunctional coordination have a positive impact on innovation. Moreover, managerial ties play a moderation role in...

Advances in technology and digitalisation have changed the ways services are created and offered to users. Successful new innovative services and service value co-creation are done in collaboration with organisations and actors in contexts such as business ecosystems. The research relating to service design and open innovation in business ecosystems is cross-disciplinary, and relevant knowledge...

This paper introduces an alternative approach to innovation: Emergent Innovation. As opposed to radical innovation Emergent Innovation finds a balance and integrates the demand both for radically new knowledge and at the same time for an organic development from within the organization. From a knowledge management perspective one can boil down this problem to the question of how to cope with th...

Knowledge management systems are introduced into companies as ICT-platforms for distributing and evolving knowledge. They are also related to the support of learning. In this context, learning takes place by actively dealing with the technical system and its content. From this perspective, the support of knowledge exchange and the establishing of knowledge structures get more relevant and becom...

Abstract This paper conducts a meta-analytical review to examine the impact of internationalization on innovation, with particular attention role research design factors that may confound causal inferences. The existing literature is examined (1) determine average effect innovation and (2) assess how variations in key aspects has affected results. Analysis 99 studies reveals effects are diverse...
