“…Several scholars have applied this variable of textual analysis of innovation to their literatures. Mukherjee et al (2017) explores whether corporate taxes hinder innovation, and Weiss and Nemeczek (2021) examines the technological innovation system on the development of battery‐electric vehicles in Germany.…”

Sustainable development is one of the prominent goals promoted by the United Nations (UN). To achieve Sustainable Development Goals, the UN identifies innovation as one of the important elements. Motivated by this, we explore how board size affects firm's innovation and find a negative relation between board size and firm's innovation. Our analyses including ordinary least squares (OLS) regressions, instrumental variable, propensity score matching, and generalized method of moment (GMM) dynamic panel data estimation show that our results are robust and are not driven by unobserved heterogeneity. Our findings are consistent with stewardship theory where a smaller board leads to more corporate innovation, which eventually leads to sustainable firms.

“…Moreover, the authors reveal a parasitic relationship, with BEVs benefitting from hybrids, and an amensalism in relation to ICE, again in favour of BEVs. Transferring these insights to our results, the shift to the hybrid powertrain seemingly benefits the development of BEVs and, therefore, might actually undermine the survival of the ICE as an increasing diffusion of hybrid is increasing the user acceptance of BEVs in relation to electric charging [84,88]. Arguably, these elaborations need empirical evidence by combining the two approaches to derive complementary insights, especially considering the spatial development perspective.…”

Besides the rise of sustainable technologies, successful sustainability transitions crucially depend on the phase-out of unsustainable ones. However, the detailed dynamics of declining technological innovation systems (TIS) remain vague. Thus, based on the new TIS life cycle framework, we investigate how the technological dimension of a mature TIS adapts to increasing transformational pressures towards its decline. Considering the internal combustion engine (ICE) as a suitable research case, we measure the technological adaptation as changes in the dominant technological trajectory over time and across TIS territories. Empirically, this is operationalised by a main path analysis in patent citation networks, using 221,700 patents to cover the period from 10 January 1901 until 31 January 2019. Our results not only point to considerable shifts in the direction of technological development over time but also highlight stark differences across the three major car markets. Most notably, in contrast to USA and Japan, where hybrid powertrains have become the dominant alternative powertrains, the dominant trajectory in the EU territory points to an ongoing commitment towards diesel technology. In essence, our results highlight the importance of path dependency and connectivity of the knowledge search process as well as selective forces on the innovation system level, which have been neglected by related empirical studies. Conceptionally, our analysis demonstrates that the technological adaptation process is influenced by specific developments during a time period and heterogenous territorial dynamics within the TIS. Consequently, future TIS studies might consider spatially heterogeneous development cycles as well as possible mechanisms to establish an international trajectory towards sustainability goals.

PurposeConsidering the pervasiveness of technology, this article offers an understanding of how the metaverse can impact digital entrepreneurship. The objective will be to gather professional evidence on how the revival of this new technology can bring entrepreneurial development.Design/methodology/approachThrough a qualitative study approach based on applying the metaverse in digital business contexts and analysing 533 practitioner sources from the Nexis Uni database, it will be possible to identify the concepts and application techniques of this emerging technology. The research adopts a qualitative methodology based on a mixed thematic and content review using tools such as ATLAS.ti and Leximancer.FindingsThis study finds three relevant macro-topics for metaverse and digital entrepreneurship (technology, immersive and design) and eight concepts (private solutions, digital twins, gamification, public solutions, new business worlds, co-design, collaborative spaces and stakeholders' participation). The uncovered elements demonstrate professionals' interest in a new mode of digital entrepreneurship using the metaverse. This interest highlights the commitment of companies and entrepreneurs toward discovering new services delivered in virtual and parallel worlds that find the creation of digital twins as their essence. Therefore, the study explores ongoing relationships for developing increasingly technically complex metaverse platforms and customer service offerings.Research limitations/implicationsThe study has some limitations as the selection of the database and the way the cases are focused on, which may be a stimulus for future studies. The analysis has innumerable theoretical and practical implications. In the first case, this research will shed light on an empirical case concerning the conceptual difference between innovation or greater transformation of business models through the metaverse. This work will directly contribute to the global discussion by identifying a model for applying emerging technology to digital entrepreneurs. Finally, from a practical point of view, the authors will provide new insights to digital entrepreneurs by showing them applications, best practices, and platforms they can use for their businesses.Practical implicationsOn a practical level, the authors show practical opportunities coming from the metaverse for digital entrepreneurs. This study may inspire CEOs, managers, and future entrepreneurs to use the metaverse to expand their businesses by diversifying their services into numerous sectors.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, this study represents one of the first efforts to study the metaverse by framing it from theoretical and practical perspectives of digital entrepreneurship. Additionally, future research implications may guide researchers in this brilliant research field.
