This study addresses information management and absorptive capacity in the context of open innovation projects-essential topics for public and private organizations. The construction of the conceptual model is based on the consolidated literature on these topics, also incorporating recent empirical studies that highlight their complementarity and confirm existing gaps in the area. The proposed theoretical model considers the stages of innovation development, represented by the innovation funnel, integrating the information process model and the absorptive capacity model. The proposed model aims to support managers in systematizing the innovation process, using information as a foundation for absorptive capacity and promoting the integration of information management, absorptive capacity, and open innovation. The implementation of open innovation can be carried out through the effective management of information flow and the application of new knowledge, facilitating decision-making and enhancing innovation outcomes. It is expected that this study will contribute to the advancement of these topics and offer practical instruments that strengthen the agenda of innovation managers.

Catch-up is a well-known and familiar terminology for innovation scholars in developing countries such as Taiwan, Korea and China. The strategy, however, is too difficult to perform in each industry. This study looks into a catch-up strategy that Apple and Xiaomi used and examines the results on the creative imitation of business model in the smartphone industry. It is quite surprising that even Apple is based on catch-up strategy. They wanted to catch-up Nokia. Our case study shows that these two companies quickly caught up with the leaders, and the common feature of their strategy is characterized as creative imitation of business model. Creative imitation of business model is different from creative imitation of innovation. Furthermore, this research confirms that the creative imitation of business model leads to aggressive creative innovation.

This study examines the factors driving the diffusion of technological innovation across economic, societal, and policy domains. Using a systematic literature review and qualitative content analysis, it develops an analytic framework grounded in an integrated innovation model that extends existing innovation theories. It identifies three sources of influence-environment, technology, and conversion-that are crucial to the diffusion of innovation. Findings suggest that successful innovation diffusion requires coordinated interactions among technology, economy, society, and policy, highlighting the role of governmental intervention and policy innovation. The study contributes to understanding the co-evolution of innovation across multiple social domains and offers practical insights for integrative innovation policies in the digital transformation era. Future research should quantitatively validate and refine the identified diffusion factors.

Utilizing outside knowledge for innovation is an important task for companies in the competitive economy. Due to the rapid advance in the internet communication technology, the number and quality of innovation sourcing methods are increasing. We select co-creation, personalization and in-house R&D as the representative forms of innovation sourcing and suggest a game theory model that enables the comparative analysis between them. The decision and surplus outcome of the innovation mechanisms are compared under various settings of the input parameters of the model. The stakeholders voluntarily participate into all mechanisms when the product price is moderately high and the participation cost is low, while co-creation is the only feasible one when the product quality is niche. When the participation cost is relatively high, personalization outperforms co-creation.

This study identified the appropriateness of acceptance models of smart clothing and differences in the hypothesis of the path to clothing acceptance by classifying consumers depending on the level of technology innovation and fashion innovation through the extended TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) presented by Chae (2009). 815 copies of data were collected from adults over twenty living in major South Korean cities and analyzed them using a SPSS 15.0 and AMOS 5.0 package. Based on the average value of technology innovation and fashion innovation, the respondents were classified into: Group 1 with high technology innovation and fashion innovation, Group 2 with high technology innovation but low fashion innovation, Group 3 with low technology innovation but high fashion innovation, and Group 4 with low technology innovation and fashion innovation. The appropriateness of models for the four classified groups was verified. The analysis proved that an extended TAM for each classified group explains the acceptance process of smart clothing; especially the appropriateness of model of Group 1 and Group 4 was comparatively higher than other groups. Perceived usefulness was revealed as the key variable that affects consumer attitudes to accept smart clothing. Perceived ease of use has indirect positive effects on consumer attitudes passing through perceived usefulness and clothing involvement partly exerted impacts on consumer attitudes and the intention of acceptance. The mediating role of attitudes to explain the intention of the acceptance of smart clothing is high and suggests that it is necessary to take a positive role to help the consumer perceive the functional and useful aspects of the clothing.

This study investigated what factors affect consumers' decision making concerning the adoption of smart TVs. For this purpose, the integrated adoption model that consists of six major constructs from the diffusion of innovation theory (DIT), the technology acceptance model (TAM), and the model of innovation resistance(MIR) was employed. To collect data, an online survey was used. Data collected were analyzed with the structural equation model (SEM). Findings showed that the innovativeness has a positive influence on the both of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. It was also shown that both of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use affect the intention to use smart TVs in a positive way. The innovation resistance has a negative influence on the intention to use. The mediating role of the innovation resistance was also found. The implications of these results are discussed.

Previous studies stated that low carbon innovation performance could be influenced by government regulations and the green market, which is the new trend of consumer consumption in the present time, mainly focusing on external factors. Before study augured that low carbon innovation performance could be driven by internal and external factors of cooperation such as institutional pressure, stakeholder pressure, and innovation resources. However, the study of green transformational leadership and organizational environmental culture on low carbon innovation performance is rare, especially in Chinese manufacturing, as well as the effect of influencing factors of TPB model: environmental attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavior capability on low carbon innovation performance. Previous studies mostly used the TPB model for predicting individual behavior. This study established a theoretical model combining the TPB model with green transformational leadership and organizational environmental culture of Chinese automobile manufacturing on low carbon innovation performance. This study consists of two sections of research methodology: section 1 related to questionnaire design and data collection. We established a questionnaire and distributed it online, targeting responses from the managerial level working in Chinese automobile manufacturing. Eventually, 155 valid questionnaires were used for analysis. Section 2 involved data analysis using statistical software. Reliability and data validity was examined by reliability analysis and factor analysis. Correlations and convergent validity analyses were applied, and structural equation modeling was conducted to test the proposed hypotheses. The findings indicated that green transformational leadership, organizational environmental culture, and essential factors of TPB model; environmental attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavior capability positively affect low carbon innovation performance. In addition, the indirect effect of green transformational leadership was tested and found that organizational environmental culture and TPB factors mediated the relationship between transformational leadership and low carbon innovation performance.

This is a case study on a university's support for entrepreneurs preparing startups. Previous studies have focused on startups within universities, but this study differs in its focus on support for external entrepreneurs. First, university startup support worked in the form of open innovation for those preparing to start a business. In other words, performance varied depending on the degree to which entrepreneurs accepted the support. Second, this study showed that, unlike previous studies, the process of preparing to start a business is nonlinear. Third, startups are largely divided into small and mediumsized businesses and innovative businesses, and a new hybrid business type was identified through university support. This study shows that university support for startups is not limited to the In-Out model, which uses university knowledge and technology, but an Out-In model is also possible. Additionally, startup support can be added as one of the entrepreneurial university's activities.
