Motivated by growth models based on the variety of capital goods, recent empirical studies have established links between productivity and several trade-based measures of product variety, carrying the implication that these measures may represent technology. We study this implication by...

Why do incumbent firms frequently reject non-incremental innovations? Beyond technical, structural, or economic factors, we propose an additional factor: the degree of the top management team's (TMT) frame flexibility, i.e., their capability to perceptually expand an innovation's categorical...

The primary goal of utilizing chatbots for customer service is to fulfill customer requests without requiring a conversation. However, the challenge to the sustainable adoption of innovations is overcoming the obstacles that prevent the innovation's spread. The current study examined factors...

This paper investigates the impact of four demographic variables and four perceptual drivers identified through a review of the existing literature on adopting subscription-based e-commerce models. Seven hypotheses were tested on a convenience sample of 202 respondents from Croatia. Significant...

While intellectual property has long been perceived as a method for protecting, and ultimately valuing, innovation, it is an imperfect measure. With its traditional bias in favor of innovation as delimited by Western views of individuality and technological progress, intellectual property is not...

Disruptive innovations often formulate new market regimes and create incentives to abandon existing, less attractive ones. However, this decision depends not only on market forces, such as economic and technological uncertainty, but also on attitudes towards risk. Although greater risk aversion...

The paper presents an Agent-Based theoretical model to analyze the reciprocal influence between industry structure and industry innovation patterns. This topic was originally investigated through the famous models of Schumpeterian Competition developed by Nelson and Winter (1977; 1982; 1984). However,...

The overall aim of the study is to create the theoretical model of spatial production for innovation, which provides a measurement basis for later research as well as providing a measurement framework for the territorial indexation of innovation. In addition, it raises the question of what...
