“…The extant literature establishes that it is easier for clustered firms to create and accumulate knowledge due to the constant interactions with several actors (Audretsch & Feldman, 1996;Marco-Lajara et al, 2022). However, it is not just the geographical proximity, but also the cultural similarity, that facilitates interactive learning and a propensity to share knowledge, based on external collaboration.…”

“…Third, this study adds to the management literature, specifically, on organizational paradoxes that stem from resource allocation decisions. Empirical evidence is added to the interorganizational ambidexterity literature (Marco-Lajara et al, 2022) proposing that the way in which managers deal with the constant environmental challenges plays an important role in organizational outcomes, particularly, on innovative performance.…”

Taking a closer look at the regionally clustered firms: How can ambidexterity explain the link between management, entrepreneurship, and innovation in a post-industrialized world?

The extant literature shows that innovation emerges from an interorganizational process, where a division of labor (both exploitation and exploration related) occurs among the actors within the cluster. Clustered firms are ambidextrous when they balance innovative activities that exploit existing competencies and are open to new technological approaches through exploration. In this context, we are interested in the role of clusters as supportive structures creating an atmosphere that encourages the development of interorganizational relationships, which assume a key relevance in explaining the ambidexterity and innovation of firms within the cluster. The question is whether there is an ideal combination to compete today (exploitation) while preparing to compete tomorrow (exploration), and if the networks developed in an industrial cluster play a role on determining innovative performance. Therefore, this study contributes to deepen the knowledge about the role of ambidexterity and network clustering on innovation. Specifically, by presenting a framework that explores the influence of external stakeholders and other clustered agents in the response of ambidextrous organizations to the challenges raised by environmental changes, we extend our discussion to a higher level of abstraction showing how ambidexterity can be the “black box” that connects the entrepreneurship, management, and innovation fields. The analysis of 1467 Portuguese firms suggests that network clustering has a direct positive impact on innovative performance, but also an indirect, mediated effect through exploration. Additionally, we found that a combination of exploitation and exploration (i.e., combined ambidexterity), and the trade-off between the two dimensions (i.e., imbalanced ambidexterity), leads to better innovation in agglomeration contexts. Our results, therefore, provide evidence that ambidexterity is the key to manage innovation strategic entrepreneurship’s tensions but, the way in which they are managed, is contingent on the clustered firms’ ability or inability to simultaneously pursue both exploitation and exploration.

“…The results summarized in columns (3) and (4) of Table 7 show that the digital economy only plays a significant role in promoting provinces with higher resource endowments, and it is significant at the level of 5%. As Marco-Lajara [56] concluded, this is mainly due to the industrial aggregation effect and social network effect in areas with developed tourism resources, which shows that tourism has a complex internal development mechanism. Under the enabling effect of the digital economy, there is a complex social network and industrial chain mechanism among tourism related stakeholders.…”

This study explores the impact and mechanism of the digital economy on the tourism service trade. We adopted two-way fixed effects and mediating effects models, and conducted empirical studies based on panel data of 30 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) in China. The results show that the digital economy can significantly improve the development of the tourism service trade, and has a certain role in carbon emission reduction. This conclusion remains valid after a series of robustness tests and proves that carbon emission per capita plays an intermediary role in this process. The regional heterogeneity analysis shows that the digital economy plays a more significant role in promoting inland regions and regions with a higher tourism resource endowment. These findings are significant for the relevant industries, ecological activists, other stakeholders and the realization of the «Glasgow Climate Pact». The results provide guidelines for the recovery of the tourism service industry in the post-epidemic era, achieving the “double carbon” goal, realizing low-carbon tourism and the control of carbon emissions by countries related to the COP meeting. The guidelines can help to strengthen the development of digital infrastructure and promote digital technology in the tourism service industry, differentiate promotion measures based on geographical location and tourism resource endowment, fully consider the intermediary role of carbon emissions, and develop corresponding low-carbon technologies and innovative green technologies.

“…However, this concept of economic valuation is not limited to the corporate sector, but it is also useful for the community enterprises that are working for the welfare of the society, and enough it to the community at large. In this regard, according to Marco-Lajara, Úbeda-García, del Carmen Zaragoza-Sáez, and García-Lillo (2022), it is also noticed that for the creative product development to satisfy the need and develop…”

“…However, economic valuation refers to providing value to the product or services that are produced within the community to satisfy the needs of the community and receive value from the product (Salamzadeh, Sangosanya, Salamzadeh, & Braga, 2022). Moreover, according to Carmen et al (2022), creative product innovation development refers to creating the new to the world or new to the firm product that is designed modified, or enhanced in reliability and durability, to satisfy the needs of the target market. In this way, it is not an easy task to develop a creative product, because it is a hard nut to crack.…”

This study aims to analyze the path of causal relationships that influence the development of creative product innovation with social capital and to create innovative models of creative products with social capital to increase the economic value of the foundation of community enterprises in Samut Songkhram Province. Indeed, community enterprises are always facing different kinds of challenges in their functionality. To proceed with the study, the data was collected in both qualitative and quantitative form. In this regard, for the questionnaire, the sample size was 250, which was to get the response to test the relationship between the variables. This study concludes that there is a causal relationship between the factors that are worthy for the creative products development with social capital. The significance of this study is this study contributes to the literature because these variables were not discussed in any study in the relationship of social capital to increase the economic value, particularly in the Samut Songkhram province.
