- Bibliometric analysis into a decade of academic research on innovation, value creation, and sustainability (2013-2023)por Marcelo Neves Gonçalves el mayo 31, 2024 a las 3:00 am
Objective of the Study: The aim of this study is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of academic publications to evaluate the growth, impact, and trends in research related to innovation, value, and sustainability between 2013 and 2023. Methodology/Approach: The study utilizes a bibliometric approach, analysing data from SCOPUS and Web of Science databases to track scientific output, citation trends, authorship patterns, institutional affiliations, and country contributions within the specified research domain and time frame. Originality/Relevance: This study provides an analysis of the interconnected themes of innovation, value creation, and sustainability within academic literature. The relevance of this research lies in understanding the evolving scholarly landscape and identifying key contributors and trends in these critical areas. Main Results: The analysis reveals a consistent growth in scientific output, with an increase in publications in 2022 and a peak in 2023, indicating a burgeoning research interest. Citation trends demonstrate variations, highlighting the dynamic nature of research and increasing scholarly engagement in these themes over time. Theoretical/Methodological Contributions: The findings contribute to the theoretical understanding of innovation, value creation, and sustainability by mapping out key themes, trends, and research dynamics. The study also showcases the interdisciplinary nature of these fields and the collaborative efforts shaping academic discourse. Social/Management Contributions: The study's insights have managerial implications, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and highlighting influential institutions and countries in advancing research agendas. Understanding citation patterns and thematic evolution can inform strategic decision-making and foster meaningful contributions to societal and environmental challenges.
- Beyond Open Innovationpor Leisianny Mayara Costa Silva el mayo 31, 2024 a las 3:00 am
Purpose: Mapping the theoretical framework of publications on Open Innovation (OI) and Co-innovation regarding the concept of value and synthesizing the literature on Co-innovation, seeking the flow of contributions and proposing a research agenda. Design/Methodology/Approach: A bibliometric analysis and integrative review was carried out through articles, reviews and conference articles published in international databases according to Prado et al. (2016) and Torraco (2016). Originality: Studies have revisited, refined and criticized OI over the years, whose theoretical field has advanced and debated the emergence of new concepts, such as Co-innovation. However, the discussion about how this new paradigm emerges and dialogues with OI and can be considered an evolutionary theme is still lacking in the literature. Results: Although publications and temporal trends on Co-innovation have shown to be promising, the highlighted authors did not present temporal extension of their productions and the field is still in constant oscillations. Despite the streams of contributions with important scope in the construction of the paradigm, the theme still needs epistemological discussions for theoretical consolidation. Theoretical and methodological contributions: This study contributes to epistemological advances on OI and stimulates reflection for discussions and development of contemporary approaches to innovation. Management contributions: This research presents dimensions and stages of Co-innovation processes with elements that impact its practice. Furthermore, it sheds light on the importance of selecting partners (identifying different actors and their roles in the co-creation process) and establishing adequate mechanisms to encourage client participation.
