The Tele care medicine information system (TMIS) enable patients to gain admission to healthcare services over long distances. Patients and physicians seek medical information over an unsecured public channel. On the one hand, storing medical information in servers facilitate medical diagnosis, thereby, optimizing the use of digital health assets while on the other hand data is susceptible to various attacks. Thus, it is necessary to ensure data privacy, integrity, and confidentiality in TMIS system. Multiple approaches have been suggested for this purpose to authenticate the medical data, but there is still a systemic gap that has to be filled. In this paper, we will show the future scope of tele-medical healthcare and that is metaverse. Metaverse is a combination of digital technologies like virtual reality, augmented and physical reality. It has a role in healthcare as metaverse technology will provide more accurate data within the virtual world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The discourse on Employee-Driven Innovation (EDI) centers on the initial stages of the EDI process: idea generation, evaluation and implementation However, a research gap exists concerning the internal structure of the EDI process - specifically, its phases and influencing factors. In this paper, the phenomenon of EDITRANSOR - transition of EDI into Organizational Routine (OR) is presented. Preliminary findings, drawn from two distinct cases, center on exploring the internal structure of EDITRANSOR and the factors that influence it. By employing a case study method, the research extends the understanding of the EDI process in three significant ways. Firstly, it highlights the EDITRANSOR phases, with the unexplored phase of EDI solidification into OR. Secondly, it demonstrates categories of factors enabling and impeding the process. Thirdly, it suggests that factors vary across EDITRANSOR phases. Research findings hold practical value, allowing organizations with ongoing or planned EDI programs to update their policies accordingly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cities have been studied as a platform for sustainability transformation and social innovation, mainly focusing on environmental sustainability and emphasizing governance and citizen roles as transition actors. Previous studies have paid limited attention to the social aspects of sustainability and the role of business organizations as producers of socially targeted innovation. Our study develops a framework for the identification of social sustainability impacts of communal neighborhoods. Considering the residents' collaborative efforts for creating the sense of community, this paper explores whether the concept of social innovation is useful in conceptualizing the social sustainability impacts of communal neighborhoods. We use the framework to illustrate initial findings of a case analysis of two Finnish communal neighborhood concepts. The findings of our paper contribute to the discussion on social value, which has been identified as a central theme in the development of social innovation research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Knowledge management (KM) is more important than ever for organisations of all sizes. The systematic identification, acquisition, development, distribution, utilisation and preservation of knowledge can lead to competitive advantage. In times of parallel transformations, it is crucial for companies to bundle and link different types of knowledge and make it available to employees in a targeted way. This conference paper proposes a fourfold approach in which the organisational culture and the mind-set of the employees play an equally important role in KM as the organisational framework of KM, and the tool-set and skill-set of a company. Based on the data collected in a 1.5 year project, this conference paper links six KM building blocks with cultural dimensions to show that the mind-set of the employees also plays a crucial role in ensuring that an organisation effectively identifies, develops, shares, uses and retains knowledge.

In this paper we discuss how digital transformation in finance is leading to increased focus on customer-centricity. We describe how this is often understood as data-driven innovation based on quantitative collection and analysis of digital customer information. We explore the potential of using qualitative data to understand customer contexts and pain points. We share research that illustrates how quantitative data can overlook important knowledge about customers' decision-making and customers' use of different financial solutions, while it can underestimate customers' ability to manage new technological solutions. We recommend that financial service providers extend their innovation toolbox to include qualitative research methods and that they build a customer centric research culture. We also recommend including customers and partners in innovation practices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines the relationship between entrepreneurial education and action, emphasizing the complexity of transitioning from education to entrepreneurial journey. Highlighting the significance of universities in fostering entrepreneurship, it underscores the necessity of educational programs extending beyond traditional business education. Drawing from various theoretical frameworks, including Shapero and Sokol's Entrepreneurial Event Model and Ajzen's Theory of Planned Behaviour, the paper proposes an Intention Model to elucidate the transition from opportunity identification to intention formation and subsequent entrepreneurial action. Through a combination of literature review and empirical research, the study explores the impact of entrepreneurship education on graduates' entrepreneurial actions, shedding light on factors such as personal desirability, social norms, and perceived efficacy. Findings suggest that entrepreneurship education significantly influences students' social norms and behavioural tendencies, thus affecting their entrepreneurial actions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main goal of this paper is to find out if there are distinct differences between the topics of intellectual capital and knowledge management. Given the scarcity of research focusing on them, only one case was obtained, encompassing the 2, within the scope of a sports company. It is concluded that there are differences, despite the topics being intangible in nature. Some insights can be highlighted. Knowledge-based businesses create value. The relationship established between them is bidirectional. Even though they are autonomous, they have a complementary relationship with each other. Its result can culminate in both the creation and destruction of value, for all or some stakeholders. The strategies that are at the base can be located at either an optimal or sub-optimal level. Explanations for verifying this can be found in the codification of intellectual capital and in the institutional (asymmetry of information and knowledge) and agency (incentive to define strategies that are more favorable to managers and less to other stakeholders) theories.

This paper delves into the dynamics of technological competition from the perspectives of Innovation Ecosystems (IE) and Platform Ecosystems (PE). Through a systematic literature review, we contrast and compare these two theoretical lenses in understanding technological competition. Innovation Ecosystems focus on the interdependencies among organizations and their impact on core innovations, while Platform Ecosystems emphasize how interactions between platform owners, complementors, and users shape competitive landscapes. We propose an integrated research framework based on the characteristics of ecosystem structure (strong vs. weak) and technological architecture (general vs. proprietary) to explore the nature of technological competition across different ecosystems. Our analysis reveals the complexity and multidimensionality of technological competition within and across ecosystems, offering insights for strategists and policymakers in crafting strategies.

Digital technologies and data are necessary enablers when it comes to measuring, monitoring and verifying the climate impacts of agricultural processes. As the availability of data has significantly increased due to the rapid development of sensor technologies, the enablers of data-assisted decisionmaking in agriculture have improved. Timely and informed decision-making at farm level not only increases productivity and profitability, it also facilitates climate-smart production. The goal of this paper is to improve understanding of farmers' expectations and needs regarding data-driven decision-making and investigate what kind of data transfer interface would be useful for farmers to assist their decision-making. This paper also presents an application prototype, called FarmerApp, that could assist farmers in making informed decisions based on their farming activities as part of climate-smart agriculture. The development of the prototype followed the principles of user-centered design and a design thinking process to ensure the usability and usefulness of the application. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The origins of radical innovation are not well understood. Described as the "fuzzy front end", successful innovation is typically recognised only in hindsight, obscuring the process through which it emerged. Sarasvathy's (2001) and later work on effectuation shows clear patterns in how successful entrepreneurs think, but offers few details on how they learned to defy conventional wisdom in management theory. This paper draws on a coproduced auto ethnographical study of how 8 student teams in Higher Education delivered radically innovative products (products unlike anything currently on offer). It draws on education theory and neuroscience, specifically situated cognition and the learning paradox arguing that radical innovation emerges in co-creation through interactions between cognitively diverse people in a complex adaptive system. Its key contributions are to add more detail to the effectual process and fill some of the gap between theory and practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper draws attention to commercialization projects carried out at the university and the interaction of academic and business experts in project meetings. It demonstrates how structural and socially agreed power relations are involved in the process in which scientists and industry and innovation experts make sense of commercialization and actively prepare commercialization activities for research-driven innovations. Adopting the heuristics of critical sensemaking, the research claims that university-business cooperation has little impact on translating science into business if the cooperation remains at the level of meetings and occasional interaction. This is often the case in specific research to business projects. The main contribution of this paper is the illustration of the effect of power relations on how a specific sense of commercialization became privileged over the others. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present paper examines the phenomenon of "Sciencefluencing", meaning the use of Social Media for science communication in Germany. It investigates the role of Social Media, with a focus on Instagram, in communicating science and research to a broader public, which is not well investigated yet. Previous studies focused mainly on Twitter or other forms of online media, e.g. blogs. This study aims at filling the gap. In order to achieve that, a study is conducted including qualitative interviews with scientists and, based on the results of those, a quantitative survey that aims at understanding the use of Social Media for science communication from scientists in Germany. The theoretical framework is made up of theories of influencer marketing, opinion leadership and parasocial relations. The focus on Instagram stems from its broad relevance in the general population.

Evaluating organisational performance in relation to the Circular Economy (CE) has become increasingly important, yet the literature highlights certain limitations of micro-level CE indicators, such as the lack of a widely accepted method for measuring CE in both academia and industry. Among various Performance Management Systems (PMSs), the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) stands out as one of the most widely used by organisations, offering a more comprehensive perspective beyond purely financial metrics. Therefore, this paper aims to explore how CE measurement can be combined with organisational strategy assessment using the BSC. To achieve this, a theoretical framework that defines Circular Balanced Scorecard (CBSC) archetypes and integrates them with CE indicators is proposed. This framework serves as a tool for seamlessly integrating CE measurement into the PMS of organisations with different levels of CE maturity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Including environmental aspects in the digital Supply Chain (SC) transformation of large, medium, and small size enterprises is a complex procedure involving interactions between internal and external organizations, requiring future proof and cost-efficient decision making based on the available knowledge. The purpose of this paper is to review the occurrence and importance of the environmental aspects in available research literature, critically review their significance in assessing the enterprise maturity, and find gaps preventing implementation of the environmental aspects. As reference the occurrence of environmental themes as part of the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework and as one of the three pillars of sustainability are used. It can be proven environmental themes cover ~20% of the TOE area publications. The result also shows declining interest in publications for Supply Chain 4.0 maturity but increasing interest in sustainability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Foresight and anticipation of technology convergence has been of interest to innovation management scholars and practitioners for almost three decades. Since then, the prevailing data source for analysing convergence movements and for delimiting them from fusion dynamics are patents. However, increasing criticism arose about the limited forecasting power of established analysis methods, insinuating they rather monitor technology convergence than anticipating it. Our ongoing research argues that the discipline is in need of a new data source for analysing technology convergence and thus proposes online job postings as more forward-looking and future-oriented data. This research-inprogress paper provides a brief literature review on the theoretical background of technology convergence and outlines the preliminary design of our ongoing research on anticipating fusion and/or convergence movements in the AI technology field. Next to describing our keyword-based job postings analysis we also introduce a novel interpretation approach for differentiating between technology fusion and convergence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

How can workplace innovation be measured in a self-producing innovation system with autonomous and limited employee behavior? Seeking answer to this question this study begins with an inquiry on workplace innovation as high involvement in innovation of all employees (HII). HII's framework, is further refined through the intersection of autopoiesis, emphasizes self-creation among employees while acknowledge the necessity of controlling employee behavior. The intersection lays the foundation for the developed conceptual model. Utilizing a mixed method with multiple case study of 32 regional firms, the paper demonstrates the concepts in practice. The primary contribution is measurement of a firm's workplace innovation capacity, grounded in its capabilities and daily routines for employee behavior. The findings suggest a construct that aids to identifying management style intentions, balancing top-down and bottom-up approaches to explain employees' involvement in innovation as autonomous or limited, with the added dimension of self-creating or autopoietic employee behavior.

Generating and maintaining competitive advantage in today's hypercompetitive and globalized market environment becomes increasingly challenging. Innovative approaches are essential to differentiate from competitors and to preserve company performance. Context-oriented innovation approaches provide companies with a choice of suitable process models and methodology to conduct innovation projects while taking the context into account. The current paper aims to operationalize the contextoriented innovation approach in form of a decision-making framework called 'Smart-Innovation-Cube'. The framework allows to select and adapt processes and methods according to the three influential context factors 'External Change', 'Internal Change' and 'Path Dependency'. By applying the framework companies can chose appropriate processes and methods to increase the innovation efficiency. Moreover, the innovation process becomes customizable to fit individual innovation projects and thus becomes more agile. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As the ever-increasing problems related to the food waste have both environmental and socio-economic problems, the decreasing the food waste has widely acknowledged as a grand societal challenge globally.

The paper addresses the challenges of translating socially relevant concepts related to artificial intelligence (AI) across different disciplines and discursive contexts. Based on a survey of around 500 organisations in the public sector in Norway as well as 19 in-depth interviews, we map how the risk of discrimination associated with AI is perceived and translated by the representatives of the public sector in Norway. The paper foregrounds six discursive responses to the risk of discrimination associated with the development and deployment of AI in the public sector. Based on the findings, we recommend that AI developers remain critically aware of the dynamic and emergent nature of discrimination without replacing it with ancillary concepts such as bias, differentiation, privacy, or other mainstream concepts such as justice or ethics.

This paper addresses self-paced learning within digital courses, focusing on instructional design paradigms to cater to the needs of individual learners. Through content structuring and leveraging large language models (LLMs), digital learning platforms can provide learners with a clear understanding of the subject matter while enabling flexible learning. However, challenges arise in measuring and managing learners' study efforts and cognitive loads effectively. Strategies such as setting minimum reading times, recommending study breaks, and assigning individual Learning Complexity Indices (LCIs) help optimize the learning experience. The paper also explores the role of metacognition in self-regulated learning, emphasizing learners' responsibility in managing their learning processes. Despite advancements in digital learning environments, challenges persist in supporting learners with diverse backgrounds and abilities, especially in chat-based learning settings. Examples from the prototypical implementation of a learning platform demonstrate how personalized learning experiences can be enhanced through data-driven insights and tailored recommendations.

Our work explores the imperative for innovation leaders to go beyond conventional motivation strategies and delve into empowering their talent for optimal performance. The objective is not only to foster a supportive environment but also to equip innovative talents with the necessary resources, opportunities and tools for enhanced innovation capabilities. However, there is another angle to the relationship between human capital and innovation: the quality, motivation and loyalty of employees at a company can be affected by the innovation activities it performs, thus human capital can also be regarded as an outcome. The presentation outlines operational options to conduct further research on this two-way relationship. Our exploration of this angle also includes an inquiry into incorporating an outsider perspective in managing innovation. The key question addressed is how leaders can leverage external connections not only to stimulate innovation but also to provide learning and development opportunities for talents within the organisation. This would result in an increase in the human capital of the company. Leveraging data from sources such as the EU Innovation Scoreboard and WIPO Global Innovation Index, further research could seek to uncover patterns and relationships that can guide innovation leaders in optimising their strategies based on tangible performance metrics. In conclusion, this paper provides an insight into talent performance in the realm of innovation leadership. By amalgamating motivational culture with practical tools, external connections and collaborative opportunities, organisations can create an approach to let innovation and employee engagement strengthen one another.

Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) has been recognized as an important pathway toward mitigating climate change, but research on this topic has been heavily technology-oriented. Hence, this study aims to build understanding of CCU from a business perspective by a) exploring and conceptualizing the types of business model innovations (BMIs) employed by companies to harness CCU and b) analyzing what factors drive and determine economic value capture of these BMIs. We conducted a qualitative thematic analysis from a multiple-case study with nine industrial companies supported by a document analysis. Our results display 12 distinct CCU BMIs across carbon dioxide processing, engineering, and system optimization business domains and 17 value capture determinants grouped under four drivers, namely, policy and regulation, technology, markets and demand, and business compatibility. This study integrates carbon circulation into the circular business model and innovation management literature and strengthens the business angle of CCU research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Social services are complex ecosystems, requiring close collaboration of multiple stakeholders across public agencies, levels of governance and from among the wider 'community of care'. There is also some evidence from the service design practice suggesting that often service flaws are not flaws in the services but rather failures of cooperation between stakeholders interacting directly or indirectly to provide the care needed by the person. Design and management of cross-agency and cross-sector horizontal networks are therefore as important in leading social service innovation as designing individual journeys, experiences, or specific service blueprints. This paper presents an aspect of an ongoing practice-oriented research project aimed at the development and testing of applied framework and toolkit to facilitate the collaboration in service networks and communities of care.

The scarcity of qualitative water is increasingly regarded as a timely issue of major importance, especially considering emerging environmental challenges affecting complex water systems in a local context. Thus, proactive sustainable solutions for water quality monitoring such as Internet of Things (IoT) technology are gaining prominence for innovation through data-driven decision making. In the region of Flanders, responsibilities of water policy and management are scattered across authorities and organizations with often conflicting priorities, not considering the natural borders of the waterways. For the first time, the key stakeholders combined efforts during the four-year research project "Internet of Water Flanders". The aim of the innovation project was to facilitate a more dynamic and efficient water management and pave the way towards a more robust water system. Living Labs (LL) have been used as an approach to facilitate durable solutions for a range of water management challenges such as drought, water pollution and flooding. This paper presents an in-depth case study of the project examining the value of the LL approach, where we have put forward a post-hoc impact assessment of the intended results of the project compared to the actual outcomes. Main findings are that a LL approach is suitable for an innovation project in a complex environment, with some barriers to be overcome in terms of feasibility and viability. The most added value was found on a policy level in operational recommendations for a supported governance structure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Multiple companies may be involved in the development and delivery of data-enabled industrial services, so the flow of knowledge between companies is necessary and, yet, potentially problematic. The purpose of this paper is to increase understanding of customer knowledge development for data-enabled service innovations in the context of industrial services. We investigate manufacturer's and technology supplier's approaches to customer knowledge development on service innovations using a qualitative comparative case study. Our findings reveal six categories of drivers and barriers to developing customer knowledge: development priorities, customer service experience, customer knowledge diffusion, customer knowledge creation issues, organizational issues and inter-organizational issues. Two different approaches are identified for customer knowledge development, relationshipled approach and value-led approach, depending on the actor's position in the supply chain. As managerial contribution our study suggests manufacturers to utilize technology supplier's complementary approach for customer knowledge development to improve their service innovation processes.

This study investigates the relationship between increased trust in artificial intelligence (AI) and the adoption of AI, specifically the emergence of human-AI collaborations. Despite AI's growing importance in various industries, for many people, there remains a reluctance to embrace AI. This reluctance stems from a range of individual and contextual factors. The aim of this paper is to explore how trust in AI develops; what are the barriers to trusting AI; and how leveraging both our trust in ourselves as humans, and trust in AI, can help unlock greater human potential. This paper compares the attitudes and experiences of people in the health and creative industries and suggests how understanding sensemaking with AI can help overcome AI trust hurdles, enable human-machine collaboration, encourage greater reliance on AI in decision-making, and catalyse human potential. To do this we draw on a quantitative survey with 262 professionals in total (169 artists and 93 doctors from over 39 countries), and over 20 qualitative interviews. We use persona methodology to explore in more detail the narratives of two artists and two doctors. This research contributes a comparative understanding of how people in different fields adopt and use AI technologies, and how trust influences these interactions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper studies the evolvement of Finnish wooden multistorey construction (WMC) niche by taking an evolutionary perspective of Strategic Niche Management. The study investigates the development of WMC business network and its key properties from socio-technical transition point of view to assess niche's development as a part of sustainability transitions in the construction sector. The study adds a regional perspective to the analysis by identifying local governments as important actors in developing land-use planning. By studying number of finished apartments during 1996-2023, the study identifies two distinct periods of WMC activity. Results show an increase in the size, depth, and connectedness of the WMC network generally, however the development seem uneven between actor groups indicating about lack of diversity in the network. Additionally, geographical dispersion of the business network has increased whereas the number of active municipalities has remained steady, and the construction distribution has slightly levelled between municipalities.

In the current wave of AI innovation, the European Commission has defined Testing and Experimentation Facilities to be established to facilitate AI innovation in the context of new legislation such as the AI act. Within this paper, we investigate the CitCom.ai TEF in an attempt to link these TEFs to longer existing concepts such as testbeds, Living Labs and Regulatory Sandboxes. Our analysis reveals 7 service categories that can be linked to these three innovation concepts. In the 26 analysed experiments, there was a clear dominance of services linked to the concept of AI testbeds. In second place came three service categories that can be attributed to Living Labs. Remarkably, the service category linked to AI regulatory sandboxes appeared to be the least popular. This reflects the 'in development' status of this concept. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
